Last Tuesday, I wasn't able to post my entry due to tight school schedule. Sorry about that. Anyways, here are some of the special pastries and desserts from different corners of the world. Enjoy.
(One of my dreams is to travel the world and be able to taste different pastries and desserts.)

Cupcakes that will make you salivate.
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!"
Yours truly,
Yum-Yum Geneva

The cuisines that I'm going to show you today were the cuisines that were served during the 18th birthday of our beloved friend, Mic Mic. She celebrated her debut at Up Level Buffet located at Torres, Davao City Philippines. Let's get this started!
As you can see in the picture, the left side of the table had the rice and chicken (I forgot what kind of viand was place on the middle warmer, anyway).
The right side of the table had three more viands, steamed crabs, Chopseuy, and lastly, Pancit Bihon, which is probably one of the staple food of Filipinos.
On the side, there was another table where you can find desserts like cakes and fruits. There was also a vegetable salad that served as an appetizer (but in Datu's case, his only food for the night! lol). This table is the best place for those who do not wish to eat meat.
I don't like veggies but the one they served was quite delicious. I prefer their cooking than other restaurants.
Remember I mentioned earlier that I forgot what viand was placed on the middle warmer located
at the left side of the table? I think, this was the viand placed on it but I'm not quite sure. Their Afritada was the best for me. It has tender juicy meat that you will never get tired of munching.
For those who want to live longer, you should try and eat this tasty Bihon. Filipinos love Bihon, and some usually prepare this food during birthday celebrations, believing that eating those long strands will make them live longer.
Looks good huh? Say hello to their crispy chicken. The skin was tasty and crispy while the inner part was tender and juicy. Sad to say, I was able to eat two pieces only. :(
My friend loves crabs so much that she decided to grab a plate of it :)) I was looking at her then I noticed how good she was in opening the crabs.
Who cares? We were hungry that time.
To sum it all, the foods prepared were all fantastic. You would never regret going, and eating there. I wish to go there again with my parents, and relatives.
What's your favorite food? Feel free to share at gen_naughtygurl@yahoo.com
Yum-yum,
