It was Sunday and as was customary, my family and I psyched ourselves up for Sunday mass. But it was no ordinary December day for it was dark and smoggy outside, as the rains poured without let-up.  So it became a lazy Sunday for all of us, opting to stay home, enjoy a movie marathon, and take a rest from all the hustle and bustle of the week just past.

My mom decided that it was going to be a no-cook day for her as well, so I thought of doing her a favour by dialling the hotline 911-1111. I ordered the new Tuscani pizza, and waited for what seemed to be the longest 45 minutes ever! When the delivery guy appeared in front of me, he just seemed to be the greatest-looking guy ever, holding what was undoubtedly a certified hot and fresh meal of my dreams.  

There was that adrenaline rush when the 3-Cheese Bacon and Spinach Tuscani pizza stared right at me. It seemed irresistible from the very first bite until the last. As my teeth started sinking into my first pizza slice, I imagined myself flying to Boracay Island, as I call it my very own Tuscani 3-Cheese Bacon and Spinach adventure.

 

My adventure begins with sliding a piece of this gourmet pizza into my lips, experiencing the freshest spinach like the swaying trees of Boracay. And at my fingertips, I can taste the three distinctive kinds of cheese, parmesan, cheddar and mozzarella, looking like the smooth, white sands at the beach. And how could I forget the crisp bacon covered with béchamel sauce as it unravels the gentle waves of Boracay. Truly, I could not get enough of the delicious taste of the Three-Cheese Bacon and Spinach Tuscani pizza —- fresh, flavourful and undeniably “soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside.”

As I picture myself walking on the white sands towards the blue waters, it all seems like having a Utopic getaway in a perfect paradise. It simply is delightful, unforgettable and special.    

Now I see a flashback of my childhood memories while eating my favourite pizza. It made me feel like a kid again, feverishly opening a gift that would lead to a pleasant surprise. Discovering the new taste of Tuscani pizza is like encountering new joys of having a new toy, giving me an exhilarating mood. Oh, to be young and adventurous once more!    

Snapping out of my dreamy state, I almost forgot that I was just home having a great dinner with my family.  Everyone would agree with me that a perfect family time is enjoying the most flavourful pizza that even gives one a chance to fly to my dream paradise.

And that was how I “enjoyed” a delicious adventure worth waiting for, after long days of work. I know now that I could find my perfect “piece” of happiness in every” slice” of my life’s experiences. Now, I couldn’t wait to have a new adventure in the other Tuscani flavors.
