Tips for an easy and memorable Valentine weekend for the entire family

Valentine this year may be a lot different with many areas still implementing quarantine measures. Not too many after-office parties nor clubbing or bar hopping. No flower or chocolate delivery surprise in the workplace either. Maybe no special dinner in your favorite restaurant or hotel. Not even a weekend getaway perhaps, unless you’ve made early preparations and have obtained all medical and necessary documents.

 

But the pandemic need not be a damper on your Valentine celebration this year. The occasion is about love, family and all the special people in your life, after all, and celebrating love in its many forms can be done anywhere. With most everyone staying indoors and Valentine this year falling on a weekend, there is no better time for that ultimate stay-at-home Valentine weekend.

 

Start with a hearty breakfast 

Kick off your Valentine weekend with a hearty Pinoy-themed breakfast, be it breakfast in bed for your special someone or breakfast for the entire family! Pair aromatic and garlicky sinangag with savory sweet tocino, juicy cheesy franks or flavorful crispy bacon. If you’re feeling a little extra creative, serve heart-shaped sunny-side up eggs with a freshly sliced tomato on the side for that ultimate Valentine silog meal.

Cook these frozen products from a trusted household brand for the yummiest Valentine silog.

 

Create your own pasta buffet

Everyone loves a buffet and kids love pasta, so why not do both? Explore the flavors of different pasta sauces by creating a variety of pasta dishes at home using your kids’ favorite toppings. Kids will enjoy mixing and matching noodles and sauces to create yummy creations, from the simple yet exquisite aglio olio to a rich tomato-based pasta. For dessert, serve some fruits and open a can of refreshing chilled juice to add sweetness to the tangy meal.  

Mix and match pasta dishes with your kids and top them off with fresh fruits for dessert.

 

Fuel the romance with a fancy dinner date

Can’t have the usual Valentine dinner outside? That doesn’t mean you can’t have some quite alone time with your significant other. Prepare something extra special: Maybe grilled steak with some side dishes and sparkling cocktail. Dress up a little, dim the lights, put on some music and add a few lit candles on the table and it’ll be even more romantic than dining at the poshest place in the city. 

            Don’t think twice and serve steak for that romantic indoor dinner.

 

Cuddle and have a movie marathon 

Make your Valentine weekend an extra bonding time binge-watching your favorite family movies or streaming trending series. Gather everyone, cuddle on the couch, munch on healthy snacks like fresh fruits or crunchy carrot sticks while drinking sweet healthy juices for a guilt-free snack the whole family can enjoy. 

 

Turn your LED TV into a SMART TV with the Android TV Box and start streaming movies and series online.

 

Relax and recharge 

Cap off your Valentine weekend with some me time. Take a long warm shower, treat your hair to a keratin conditioner and rejuvenate with a salt scrub. Do some catchup reading with your favorite drink or simply relax. With additional bedtime pampering and the evening beauty regimen of facial toner and some body lotion or moisturizer, you’d be ready for the new week ahead.

 

At the end of the day, don’t forget to shower yourself with love, too!

The award-winning Kwentong Jollibee series is back again this Valentine Season to send forth the message of finding strength in love

The award-winning Kwentong Jollibee series is back again this Valentine Season to send forth the message of finding strength in love. Now on its fifth year, the fast-food chain’s popular Kwentong Jollibee gives a triple treat of romantic videos inspired by love stories in the time of the pandemic.

 

“Challenges and rough times are felt more now than ever before, leaving people a little doubtful of love. That is why this year, what we would like to highlight is that there is strength to be found in love that is determined to overcome all hardships, and make it work,” shared JFC Philippines Country/Regional Marketing Head and Jollibee Philippines Marketing Head Francis Flores.

 

“As a brand that takes pride in chronicling the stories of Filipinos, we continue this significant tradition of celebrating Valentine’s Day by featuring real-life experiences of our loyal customers. This time, set against the backdrop of the pandemic, a situation we’re all in,” he added.

 

For Filipinos around the world, the Kwentong Jollibee episodes are highly anticipated every red-letter day occasion, including Valentine’s. Since its launch in 2017, Jollibee has already produced over 36 Kwentong Jollibee short films, and gained almost 600 million views over 970 million impressions.

 

#FindStrengthInLove

Jollibee has set the romantic mood this Valentine’s through an exclusive virtual press event. This year’s line-up of heartwarming videos focuses on “Finding Strength in Love”, aiming to show people that love is a source of strength, even more in this challenging period.

 

First to be released is the Kwentong Jollibee film “LDR” on February 4. Directed by 2020 MMMF Best Director Antoinette Jadaone, “LDR” follows the story of sweet couple Brian and Mina. When the announcement of the lockdown was made, they found themselves stuck in a long-distance relationship just like many couples. Guided by their love for each other, Brian and Mina take on courageous efforts to make their relationship work despite the distance. Will they be able to withstand the test of separation?

 

The second episode “First Date” will come out on February 8. It narrates the tale of Mara who was forced to live on her own during the lockdown. She spent her time focusing on herself, learning new skills, and eventually, connecting with a new and special friend. Directed by internationally acclaimed director Pepe Diokno, this episode can empower the hearts of individuals who used their time to reflect and act on what’s best for themselves.

 

Lastly, the third episode entitled “Hero” will premiere on February 12. It is directed by Vow and Choice director Ianco dela Cruz. “Hero” showcases how one’s love can help a person get through life’s most difficult moments, and even make them stronger than they ever thought they could be.
