Hi everyone, I will share to you this weeks'MOUTH WATERING TREATS. Since its valentines day, I will also show you some ways on how some countries celebrates Valentines Day. Enjoy!
My friend Vim told me to buy that special cupcake that his friend (Luna Acosta) was selling. I thought it would be a great idea since I have extra budget for it. So, we ordered immediately on that day. The following day, she texted us that she was in the Gazebo with our order. We hurriedly went there after our class. Upon receiving our order we opened it and found a cute rainbow cupcake which looks mouthwatering. We tasted it and I was taken aback. It was so delicious that I craved for even more of these. The inner part also had a rainbow design in it. There's no pang of guilt buying those cupcakes.
YUMMY *o*
She's also selling this one. Looks good! Will buy that someday!
By the way, this is how the Japanese celebrate Valentine's Day. :)
"Japan"
According to Hammond, the Japanese celebrate Valentine's Day in a unique way. Women are usually the ones who give chocolates to men, some friends and co-workers. These gifts of chocolates are divided into three types :
1. Giri Choco- is a box of chocolate that should be given by women to their superiors, co- workers and to
those people who has done her favor. Some say that they are usually cheap and can be
bought in department stores. But I guess you should give an expensive gift if it's for your
superiors.
Here is an example of a Giri Choco
2. Honmei Choco- is a box of chocolate intended for the man you love. If you receive such chocolate,
then that means that you are at the top of her heart. This can be homemade but if
you will buy these on stores, they are really expensive.
For your lover, Honmei Choco
3. Tomo Choco - box of chocolate that is given to your female friends. Can be bought homemade
or not. Usually, Japanese women buy the cheaper yet still enjoyable ones.
Accordint to the Source Living Tokyo:
"Another unique point about the Japanese Valentine’s day is that there is a ‘reply day’. There is an event called White day on March 14th, when the men who received gifts on Valentine’s day are expected to give something back. This ‘reply’ is expected to be more valuable (sometimes 2 or 3 times!) than the gift by women. Reply to Giri-choko is usually expensive sweets, and that to Honmei-choko is often clothings or accessories. If you are gifted on Valentine’s day, prepare for the month later!"
ON LIFE | Do you have any regrets? Can you cite one? I wish I had finished Psychology first before venturing fashion because right now I'm juggling both. Who has been the biggest influence on your life, and why?The most common person, my mom. She has also a background in sketching in designing. My mother didn't pursue it so I fill it in for her. What are the best places you’ve been to?I haven't really explored. What's your fantasy career? fashion designer/therapist If you die, how would you like to be remembered? Too Morbid. (giggles) Do you still have insecurities?Everybody has. In my case, my weight. Yes, I WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT. (laughs) Where do you see yourself five/ten years from now?Still pursuing fashion or maybe outside, say, HK. I wanna go there.
ON SCHOOL |
What kind of student are you? Loner. I'm always alone. Everybody thinks I'm weird. Do you party even on school nights, and how do you deal with the day ahead of you?As long as there are no quizzes the following day. But I still manage to wake up early even I party. If have an early class I really have to wake up early. "Kelangan eh" she added. Do you think your course was difficult? What made it so?I think its the analogy. Most people generalized it as the study of brains and human behaviors but there's more to it.
"EMUNAH"
Faith
ON LOVE | Single or not? Not. How did you meet? How long have you been? We were batch mates since grade school. We both came from Ateneo. Then, we met again last year. We talked and talked and hung out. So I guess that's how it started. I guess, it's really different if it's foundation is friendship. Something that has bond. And it's like almost a year already. Is it difficult to have a boyfriend? No. No.
ETC |
What does your tattoo means? Oh, it's a Hebrew word s "Emunah" . It's somewhat ugly because I scratch at night. sometimes, unaware. Do you have any other tattoo? Yes. It's on my nape. Who is your fashion icon? Actually, there are two but I started with Twiggy because I used to have a very short hair. As in, like, boy cut. I forgot the other one.
How often do you dye your hair? I started with red then pink then rose red then pink again. I thought wanted it white so maybe you saw me walking blonde. But it didn't work. So then, I wanted something rainbow but dark. I wanna try something new. So I used magenta, black, purple, lavender. Oh and yes, I dye my own hair.
How do you handle your hair? CONFIDENCE.Everybody stares at me. But eventually, you'll get used to it. Sometimes I don't mind them or I just laugh on their ignorance and amazement. Someone once approached me and asked me if it's really a "real" hair. I can't help but laugh.
Is it okay for your mom? Yes. That's the funny part because she keeps on sending me more colors.
What made you decide to dye your hair? Ever since I really wanted to color it. I think it started it the Paramore thingy. that's what most people thought which is no doubt. But it's also because of Gwen Stefani. But later it seemed like usual (UGH) since many are dyeing their hairs already like Rihanna.
