Drive Thru Surprise


Yesterday on my way home, I decided to grab a quick snack at Jollibee-Malhacan (Bulacan) Branch. Parking was full so I took the drive thru option. Service crew who took my order was so jolly (so Jollibee!) and after paying my order, she instructed me to proceed to the next window to get my order. She also handed me my receipt and a small piece of paper with a ribbon tied on it. Written on that paper was an inspiring quote from Doug Firebough stating "every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow."

Drive thru services offered by fast food companies are meant to target consumers who are always on the go. Drive thrus are for individuals who are always rushing their way to the office or those who are too tired to sit down in a dinner table with family or friends and prefer to eat inside their cars.

The small note that I got from this "drive thru experience" reminded me that no matter how busy our life is, we should learn to take things slowly. We should teach ourselves to appreciate all the good and beautiful things around us. We should not rush our lives, we should live it and not just drive thru it. We might be living in the fast lane, but we should always find time to do something that will inch us closer to a better tomorrow. This way, you will live a life with meaning.

Dad, you are the best father ever

When I was young you taught me how to read and rhyme, And showed me laughter under the smiling sunshine. I remember that day when I stumbled with pain But you carried me in you arms and the pain was gone. You taught me the meaning of respect, to other beings and to thyself You modeled these traits not only in thy words but by actions on oneself You taught me responsibility to thy spouse and to our dynasty You modeled these through thy affection to my mother and members of our family The greatest kings have conquered the strongest nation But believe me; no king is greater than your affection. As you leave this world we know But the love you’ve showed in my heart entombed Today I may be sad because you said goodbye For the angels in heaven took your soul up in the sky If mothers are the best, fathers are the greatest. Thank you for your fatherly love, it was the best. . Image Source: Wikipedia

Independence when there is no freedom

The Philippines is celebrating today its 122nd  Independence day.  Today we remember how our forefathers claimed their freedom from the Spaniards who enslaved them for almost 333 years. Thanks to our national hero Jose Rizal, who sparked the hearts of the Filipinos through his provoking novels. This eventually inspired a revolution which then gave birth to our first republic in 1889.  Today, due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we are locked at our homes and we have no freedom to move. As a result, we are deprived to work and earn a living. We are deprived to travel, to gather, and to celebrate. Our lives have so many restrictions.This was the same experience of our forefathers when their freedom was taken away from them by the Spaniards. Good thing this Covid 19 is only temporary. Once the vaccine is commercially available, our lives will soon return to normal and our freedom will be restored. Imagine if this quarantine is permanent, people will became restless, agitated and pr...
