Think your Dad’s a sweetie? This Father’s Day, treat him to the season’s sweetest treat: a box of Classic Peanut Butter & Stripes Doughnuts from Krispy Kremes! From today, June 17 to June 30, Krispy Kremes will be giving away a dozen donuts to one of you lucky readers EVERYDAY!
Imagine, sinking your teeth into one of these moist, cake doughnuts slathered with Peanut Butter kreme (made with Reese’s!), graham cracker crunch and either caramel or chocolate. I got a whiff of it when I opened a box and it had my mouth watering. Very decadent, but surprisingly not as sugary as it looks. It’s really something that’s best enjoyed with a cup of strong coffee. So, win some for your dad and then remind him to share.
To win, simply tell us what’s the sweetest thing you’ve done (or are planning to do) for your Dad and you’ll be included in a daily drawing for donuts. And if I love your answer, you automatically get another raffle slot, doubling your chances to win.
Non-winning entries are automatically carried over to the next raffle. So yes, if you post your comment on June 17, you get 14 chances to win! Times two if I love your entry. Each person can only win once though, to spread the donut love all around. So, start racking your brains and make your sweet comments already!
EDIT – 18 June 2009: I just found out that the prize is a dozen doughnuts OF YOUR CHOICE and not all Classic Peanut Butter and Stripes. Even better yes? This way, you can choose your old favorites (Original Glazed and Strawberry Filled for me!) and combine them with new variants you’re curious about.
EDIT – 27 June 2009: Please, only one entry per person. Additional entries from the same person will not be counted. In case of multiple entries, only the first one will be counted.

Almost every year on Father’s Day, my sister and I would think of something to do for our dad. This year I decided to service my dad. For example, bringing his drinks, getting the things he needs, bringing him snacks, and more.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY, DAD!
id save my allowance for a week or two or three and use it to buy lunch/dinner for the family during his birthday. it was a big deal for me since i was still in GS and hs at that time and my allowance isnt that big either. so what i usually do is i buy a stick of bbq or 2 pcs of siomai and half a cup of from the school cafe and that’s what ill eat while im saving my allowance:)

Daddy, though you’re far from home and working hard for our family. I will always do my part on helping Mommy in household chores and always do my best in my studies. I will give you medals each year…
That’s what you always wanted from me. I’ll never let you down…
Don’t worry so much Daddy, I’ll take care of little sister and Mommy. I Love You So Much.

My father, my brother, my boyfriend. I call you a man of may personalities. You’re such a wonderful person. Very understanding and considerate father.
I missed everything about you when you said goodbye last Mother’s Day (10th of May, 2009). Now it’s your day… also your 40th day… I know that your happy…
Thank you Papa for the Memories…
I greeted my papa on the wrong date (last June 14). I wasn’t so aware that Father’s day is on the third week. Hehe. But then, it’s ok. It’s the thought that really matters after all, not the date. What’s important is that I was able to tell him how grateful I am to have him!
Being always there for my dad. But now he’s gone, so I’m always including him in my prayers. You’re the best dad. Thanks!
Winner for June 21
My dad’s my ever-reliable co-foodie in the family, so I thought that for Father’s day, it ought to be an all-out food event of his choice. Because I work weekends and only get out in time for lunch, I thought that I would treat him to lunch at any restaurant of his choice. He said he’d think about it, and would send me an SMS as to where I would proceed after my shift.
After my shift yesterday, I checked my phone and was surprised that he said he wanted to eat at S&R.
For lunch, we basically ordered most of the items on their menu, all my dad’s choices (and took home some half slices of calzone, pizza, and baked rolls. stuff there’s super filling).
We lolled around the fort area and ended up having donuts and coffee at Krispy Kreme before going to the early evening church service.
So, no, my Father’s day celebration wasn’t too extraordinary, but with him having projects out of town, and my working in the wee hours in the morning plus wedding planning, it’s a very rare treat for us to share a meal. We haven’t done that in a few weeks.
“Psssssst…”
“Pa!”
Father wouldn’t call us by name. He need not to, a whistle would do. The world seemed to come to a halt every time we heard him whistling—distinctive, authoritative, threatening. We would leave behind whatever we were up to pronto, dash straight to the house, and put on a brave front to face punishment personified. There was nothing more humiliating than to be taunted as crybabies by friends next moro-moro or baril-barilan sessions.
“Pa, we will not do it again,” my younger brother and I would lunge out our never-to-do-it-again dialogue to father. “He did it first,” accused my brother.
“No, Pa, he did first,” I would rebut amidst tears brewing to fall.
Whack. Whack. Whack. All cries had turned to deaf ears. Father’s leather belt slithered on our tender skins.
Everything did change as the years passes by. Now, I am 19 years old. I am still afraid of Father. But it isn’t the kind of fear that awakens me in the middle of the night shaking and sweating. Nor is it the kind of fear that inhibits me from pursuing responsibilities whose ends are undefined. Rather, it is one that begets respect and harbors no bitterness, no matter how complex and harsh the previous life was. All these years I have learned that the life I lead has an effect in the life I now live, and the life I now live will have an effect on the kind of life I will live.
I don’t hear Father whistling these days. I even haven’t had single intimate contact with his belt for years now. I had out lived it. Age has taken its roll on him—cataract blurred his vision, his skins sagged, and arthritis has slowed down his strides. Father is after all not invincible.
In my childhood I often wished for heaven to look down on me, intervene in my behalf, and take pity on my miserable plight. I seldom make wishes these days but a wish stands firm and true—for Father to be young and able to spank me again. Maybe this time tears would roll down to kiss a smiling lip. To the best Papang in the world, I love you so much and Happy Father’s Day.
My gift to my dad is the Video of my Baby on her first smile and shout on Youtube and lots of Pictures posted on Flickr. He is working abroad right now and seeing the pictures and video of her first grand daughter makes him Happy this Father’s day. Same effect to me as well.. Papa, Happy Fathers Day!… =)
My daddy recently passed away…I remember doing all sorts of sweet stuff for him but I guess writing a poem for him (as message during eulogy) and designing his tomb marker (in a way that I thought was “so him”) top my list. Here goes my poem:
Daddy-o
The time has finally come
Our dear Daddy is now gone
His soul was surely filled with glee
That early Friday morning, April 3.
This passing has long been his wish
So his Daddy and Nanay, he could kiss
As they usher him through the gates of heaven
And be happy in their arms again.
Many years ago, he started to prepare us
For the time that he would return to dust,
Made us see his death as a happy day,
That in my prayers, “Take him, Lord”, I sometimes would say
He was tired, I know, and deserved to rest
The days that he lived, I’m sure, were the best.
But it pains me still to see him stiff
I love him and he was a precious gift.
Oh, Daddy, I promise to remember you
As you said we should all do
I will keep your memory alive
I promise to do this for the rest of my life.
Go, Daddy, fly high
Don’t worry about us, don’t sigh
To you I have this one last wish
Sincerely, may you rest in peace.

The sweetest thing I did for my dad (though he got really mad at me) was when I threw a whole ream of his cigarettes in the toilet. That’s been almost 20 years ago, and he still hasn’t quit smoking, but at least he knows that I care.
The sweetest Father’s Day gift I’ve given my Dad is a “bonsai”. He is always out of the country then and whenever he’s in the country he loves cultivating soil and taking care of his plants. That’s why I thought of giving him a plant.
Now that he’s in heaven already, I’m sure he’s looking after us and constantly guides me especially now that I’m already father too. So “Happy Father’s Day my Doc Daddy”
Daddy, Happy Father’s Day!
Thank You for everything that you have done, are doing, and will do for our family. Even though sometimes, I don’t show it that much, I really appreciate every little thing that you do for us, especially for me. Thank you for always being patient and “matiyaga” in driving for me whenever and wherever I go.
Thank you for always believing in me, in everything that I can do. I hope you don’t get tired of pushing me up to my best. Thank you for all your support, both moral and financial (especially when it comes to my studies).
Sorry for everything I have done that might have hurt you or if there’s something I did you didn’t like. I’m trying my best to be the good daughter that you and Mommy deserve. Just remember that we will always be here for you.
We love you, Daddy!
My dad and I may not have the most perfect relationship on the planet but I will always be grateful to him for bringing me into this world. He’s not the best dad neither am I the best daughter, but he’s my dad and I’m his child. Nothing in the world can change that. Happy Fathers Day, dad.
As far as I can remember, the last time I gave my father a letter was about 25 years ago. It was a Valentine card that I made from art paper and bond paper in my Grade 1 Art class. Today, I’m writing him a letter for Father’s Day!
To Tatay… you told us once that you are not a perfect father. You also feel sorry sometimes that life could have been a little better if not for your wrong decisions in the past. You even said that if only you have the power, you’ll grant us a father that we truly deserve.
‘Tay… We don’t need perfection, what we long is your affection. Past is past, apologies accepted. You don’t need special power to be the best father. Just cook us your adobo and kaldereta, kalimutan na natin ang problema!
Mahal ka namin, Tatay!
My father is a man of few words. But he did well in letting us his children know that we’re trully loved.
I named my daughter Daniella in loving memories of my Dad (Danilo). I’m sure he would shed tears of joy had he been around to see my daughter.
Last Christmas I treat my dad to a round trip ticket to Hong Kong with my family and I believe that I can’t still pay back all the things my dad did to me. We enjoyed and played like a kid again at Disneyland HK and my dad looks like a teen enjoying the place. It is my most unforgettable day in my life. My dad is close to perfect. He’s the one who molds me to be who I am right now. He’s really the “haligi ng tahanan”.
i have never been really imaginative nor creative in gift-giving but my 3-year-old daughter seems to have a knack for it. you see, her father died a couple of years ago so she never really knew him. but when she heard about fathers day in sunday school, she decided to paint our family picture. she asked me to buy a balloon and tie the painting to the balloon’s string and we released it outside. she believes the balloon will take her painting to her father in heaven.
my dad retired last year from his work, in return to his hardwork we gave him one of the best gift, a trip to hongkong and macau with my mom.
Also we always get him something every payday either gave him allowance for whatever he wants to buy, treat to a dinner or 3 bottles of Red Horse or 1 bottle of brandy with his favorite pulutan papaitan.
This father’s day we plan to treat him to his fav resto in moa and hopefully have a surpirse jollibee adult party on his 67th bday next year.
Luv you dada!!! mwahhh
i was never a daddy’s girl, not even a favorite child. i am the eldest. sad thing is, i grew up knowing that our dad loved my two other siblings more than he loved me. and not once did he try to hide it. i never understood it as i was growing up. maybe there are things better left unanswered, and this is one of them.
fortunately for me, instead of taking this bitter fact of my life against my dad by being an unruly child, i took it as a challenge. i told myself that if he had to notice me, it was because i had been a good daughter and nothing else.
so i studied very well and earned honors and accolades in gradeschool. when he started noticing me for the awards i earned, he promised that should i ever become a 1st honor in class, he would take me to disneyland! of course i was thrilled. at last, my daddy noticed me. unfortunately, he suddenly died before i graduated from gradeschool; before he could even receive my 1st honor certificate. and he took his promise with him.
but his death didn’t stop me from continuing with my promise. i studing very well so i could continue to give honor to his name. i graduated as our highschool batch’s salutatorian. passed UP’s rigorous exam and eventually graduated with a degree in architecture. after a year, i passed my licensure exam. i was happy. for me, all those achievements were my gifts to my dad. he may not be with us, but i feel it in my heart that i have made him proud.
now, i have a promising career and a family of my own. and one day, i will set foot on disney soil. wherever he is right now, i want him to know that i am happy God gave him to me as my dad, even for only 12 years. i may not have understood him then, but i want him to know how much i love him.
daddy, i know i have made you proud. i miss you.

My father turned 60 last year. He lives in Davao and we sisters (all 3 of us) are based here in Manila. It has been awhile since we saw him (about 3 years). He has been dropping hints for us to visit him for about the first year that we were away. Eventually, he just stopped (thinking that maybe we were too busy to go home). On his 60th birthday, we surprised him by taking the earliest flight home on his special day and brought him a special “breakfast in bed” made out of his favorite EngBeeTin Ube hopia and placed them on a silver tray, complete with 60 miniature candles and red ribbons. It was the first time we saw him cry. We cried, too.
To our papa, we love you very much!
The span of time in which he is not around is not a hindrance because every time my daddy groovy is in the Philippines, he spends glorious moments with us.
He is an ENGINEER who is working in a boat. He is a TEACHER because he teaches me how to play tennis and guitar. He is a PREACHER because he teaches me how to pray. He is a COOK because he cooks nutritious food for us. He is a pet LOVER because he cuddles our golden retriever dog. He is a DRIVER because he drives and fetch me to school. He is a shock ABSORBER because he listens, suggests and defends me. Most of all, he is a FATHER because he is loving and kind.
Thank you, Dad…for listening and caring, for giving and sharing, but especially, for just being YOU!!! Happy Father’s Day.
Its my husband’s first father’s day… and i didnt want to give him some crummy store bought gift that you will forget after 10 years.. Instead, i made him a handcrafted painted picture detailing his “firsts” moments ( in cartoon) including the first time he got the news that he is going to be a dad
My dad had a difficult childhood. His parents separated and being the eldest, he had to take care of his younger siblings. He never finished high school and would tell us stories of how he walked for an hour to reach school during days when he could afford to actually go. He talks of how he hid inside the bus going to Manila because he had no money to pay for the fare and had to go to Divisoria to buy goods for their sari-sari store. He talks of how he envies the other kids because they have new shoes and he doesn’t.
Inspite of all these hardships, this did not stop my dad to perservere and aim for a better and more comfortable life. He made sure that we did not go through his experiences. Education is always a priority and my dad made sure that we were well supported and food always on the table.
This Father’s Day, I would like to say thank you to my dad for giving us the kind of childhood that you never had. I thank you for always being there to nurture and support us. Whatever successes we achieve today, part of it will always be because of you. I hope that I will be as good a parent to my children as you are to me.
Btw, I got my dad a pair of shoes this Father’s Day! =)
my dad loves to cook.. and i remember when i was 4 or 5 I used
to watch him prepare the ingredients. i would volunteer to be
his little help in washing the vegetables and finding the some
condiments which i know like tuyo and suka, and she loves me
for being around.
Yay!!!! I won a box of doughnut last June 20!!!! wweeeeee!!! i didn’t expect it!!!!!!! thanks kaoko and also to krispy kremes!!!!! im salivating right now!!! XD hugs hugs!!!!

.. and HE loves me for being around …
Dad just passed away and was cremated this June, at the young age of 63. This year’s fathers’ day, instead of just staring at the urn containing his cremains, we (my mom, I and my sisters together with our respective families) went out the way Dad would have originally planned. During a simple dinner, we talked about the things we miss most when Dad was gone, aside from sharing “scary” stories of Dad making his presence known.
And after dinner, my husband and I and my son (his look-alike 6-month old grandson) trooped to my dad’s room and slept there…feeling his presence and wishing we could all dream of him so we could greet him Happy Fathers’ Day.
My dad and I may not have the most perfect relationship on the planet but I will always be grateful to him for bringing me into this world. He’s not the best dad neither am I the best daughter, but he’s my dad and I’m his child. Nothing in the world can change that. Happy Fathers Day, dad.
When I was 10, I remember making a personalized Father’s Day card using a folded coupon bond. On the front page, I drew a figure representing my Dad (a man wearing a Barong Tagalog) and inside was my Father’s Day greetings and message for the best father in the world!
I don’t cook. I married a man who loves cooking, with a family who loves cooking, with all them 5boys and 1girl who loves to cook and eat. 3 of the boys, including my husband, got married to girls who doesn’t know how to cook – including me.
My mother-in-law had a great idea to do a Father’s Day cooking challenge where the wives will cook pasta and chicken for my father in law. The husbands can help but cannot coach.
We had the challenge last Father’s Day and I cooked the best chicken, though not the over-all winner.
At the end of the day, everybody’s a winner – not just the contenders but the whole family. We had lots of fun. It will forever be a memory. I’m so blessed to be married to my ever supportive husband with a loving family.
Happy Father’s Day Papa!
Ei, im so excited that I posted a blog regarding this one!!!! just visit my blog! http://www.getalifelsa.blogspot.com!!!!
more power and thanks a lot!!!!

i love my dad just like anybody does without him i and we are not here up to this moment of our life despite the bad times yet its only few so to speak because nobodys perfect as they say but let us cherish the the moment from the time of conception til now,the sacrifices,the support,the care and more importantly the love that he gave us although it doesn’t show sometime but its always there most of the time,what can i give my ama as i call him this fathers day is also the LOVE that he has shown me much more than what he has gave me now that i can feel how to be a father not daddy,dad,ama,pa coz now i know the meaning of a FATHER just what he is during our childhood coz i myself is a dad of 3 kids and many ways more to go ahead of me, thanks to AMA and happy fathers day to all.
One time I got into an argument with my Dad and I refused to speak to him the whole morning. That afternoon, I saw him checking the car that I was supposed to use on a trip the next day. It was then that I truly realized that a Father’s love is indestructible. I felt so guilty and ashamed of myself. The next morning, I cancelled my own trip, to the dismay of some people, and decided to take my Dad on a father-daughter road trip instead. He was kind of surprised that I would rather spend time with him than go on with the trip myself. I gave him a firm embrace and told him that he will always come first in my list. And both of us started to cry. It was a bittersweet moment for us. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD!!! REMEMBER YOU WILL ALWAYS COME FIRST.
one of the sweetest thing I’ve done to my dad
when I was little was to let him lay down and
relax on our sofa and then I’ll try to find
some gray and white hair and pulled it up
he really loves that after a hard days work
which eventually make him sleep !
i love u daddy… i miss u badly
wish you’re still beside us
i made him a birthday cake
after a week lesson from
a culinary sch
My parents have been separated since i was 4 yrs old. So quality time with my dad has been very minimal every year. I’ve been trying to browse thru my old photo albums & been scanning photos of our special dates together (new born photos till adult) with him upto present. I plan to give him a hard bound storybook album for his birthday this year with all of these photos. Am hoping he’d like it!
I am proud to say that I am so blessed to have the BEST dad a family, wife,son and daughter could wish for. He died last April 26, 2006. It was a case of unresolved hold-up by people who in their own selfish and greedy ways wanted to have the fruits of other’s labor. It’s been 3 years now and I should say that my dad is still the best provider. He made sure before he left that we, his family would have the sufficient resources to sustain our day-to-day living. We can never repay the best things dad has done for us. But we can always whisper our Love and Gratitude to him whenever we visit him at least once a week. To our beloved Daduy, Happy Father’s day! You will always be missed and loved not just by your family but by all the people you have helped and cared for.
just got home last week from a business trip… just perfect time to celebrate with him on one of the most important days. I gave him shopping gift certificates…He was so excited.. Enjoy your spree
Mahal Kita Tatay
I never used to be separated from home. That’s why I never enrolled in Baguio nor Manila in College. I felt that i am not complete without my parents and siblings beside me, or sleep without my favorite pillow and bed.
I’ve been married for 5 years now, but initially been living with my parents. Aside from financial constraints, the reason is the fact that i will miss my mom, my brothers and sisters and most especially my dad, my bestfirend. But even if we do not want to, we need to do things or make decisions for good. We need to build our own house and establish a happy home for our family. Ever since we moved out of our house just a year ago, I never let a day go by without telling him I love him. I always make a call, and still find time to chat. I want him to know that even from a distance, my heart never fails to remember.
I love you dad, happy father’s day to you.
We don’t usually celebrate Father’s Day! But a week before Father’s Day, we’ve already bought him an Adidas slippers and gave it to him as soon as we got home! No need to wait for the day itself to let him know that we remember him
Father’s Day is not only for the man of the house. Father’s Day is also for all single mothers who have taken the role of fatherhood.I am raised by a single parent, and I want to dedicate this heartwarming message for her.
Mommy,
Just want you to know that it’s not all about “YOU”. It’s all about “US”.Just the two of us. No matter what ,I promised to stay by your side.We will face the future together, through thick and thin I will hold your hand.There is nothing else I would rather be than to be by your side.Thank you for all the love. And I will always be proud that I am raised by a single parent.Cheers to our future together! Happy Dad’s Day to my single Mommy!
