Supermoon: Our bright light in the darkness

“The moon stays bright when it doesn't avoid the night.” ~ Rumi

Last night, our skies got lit by the amazing supermoon.

Have you seen the moon as it approaches the horizon?
Are you one of the enthusiasts who enjoyed this stunning natural phenomenon?

I think that when people paid attention to nature, got inspired to go out and look at the sky is something that makes it more spectacular.

While my phone camera didn't give justice to its beauty, I enjoyed checking out magnificent photos that people from all over the world shared online.

It's a beautiful night. Our bright light in the darkness #supermoon #supermoon2016

As described by astronomers, when the moon is closest to Earth it is being in the perigee stage. The Supermoon appears about 14% bigger and 30% brighter that it has since 1948. If you missed the supermoon, you’ll have to wait until November 25, 2034.

#supermoon #supermoon2016

I'm grateful seeing my Supermoon.

I am searching, weaving lightness in this dark moment. Finding a brighter light is filling my life with immense hope.

Let these quotes say what I feel:

"Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light." - Victor Raymond Edman

“The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human. Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.” - Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

Cheesy goodness Red Ribbon ensaimada

I love the buttery, tasty and cheesy ensaimada of Red Ribbon. Now, I'll love it more since made even bigger! For ensaimadas, bigger is definitely better.

bigger and better!

[PR]
Red Ribbon introduces its bigger ensaimada that boosts in cheesy goodness

We Filipinos love to snack. Whether it’s before lunch or after, we always make it a point to make time to indulge in our need and love for snacks. While most snackers will say that they give in to the munchies because of real hunger, many admit that snack time is the perfect moment to take a break from work or school, and just socialize over a favorite pastry or bread.

And no one can argue that of all the many snack options kids and adults love, the classic ensaimada is still a popular choice today. However, not all ensaimadas are created equal.

There’s the usual ensaimada and then, there’s the Red Ribbon Ensaimada. Red Ribbon’s staple pastry has long been a mainstay in our lunchboxes for the young and the young-at-heart. Whether it’s enjoyed as a snack or as a dessert, people cannot resist this all-time pastry favorite.

Now, Red Ribbon has just succeeded in making something already so good, so much better. The new Red Ribbon Ensaimada is now bigger and bursts with cheesy goodness that no one can resist.

Red Ribbon’s Ensaimada still packs the same goodness Pinoys have always expected and come to love. It still has that same soft, melt-in-your-mouth pastry, well-balanced sweetness and the right cheesy goodness that is so affordably priced at P25.00 only.

“We are always thinking of ways to improve our offerings in response to what our customers want,” said Ned Bandojo, Head of Marketing of Red Ribbon. “The cheesy ensaimada promises to deliver what our customers have long come to expect from us and more. We want to give them more reasons to enjoy the company of family and friends and to make every day moments more special through our quality products.”

With Red Ribbon’s bigger ensaimada, snack time is sure to be more enjoyable, memorable and delicious.

Red Ribbon’s Ensaimadas are available in all Red Ribbon stores nationwide.
