D Cupcake Showcase : ]


Okay, okay... so this post is not really related to snail mail... but I'm making this late post for a dear swap partner.

So what I got are 5 (or 6) cupcakes bought from the nearest sari-sari store.... and took photos of them.


So from Left to Right, Top to Bottom....

we have Cheesy Topps, Choco Topps, Mocha Topps
Lemon Square Cheese Cake, Dream Cream Filled Cake (Double Chocolate), 
and Fudgee Barr Vanilla Jolt



First on our list is FUDGEE BARR

That's the vanilla you see there...




Followed by one of Childhood Faves, LEMON SQUARE CHEESE CAKE.

I'm so happy that there is minimal difference with the original taste. It's more milkier now, and more cheesy in it's own taste.



Another product of Lemon Square is this Dream Chocolate cupcake : D Yum!

and that's the insides of this cake... Nice chocolate filling.





I changed the formation of the two cakes, because it just reminded me of 
Powerpuff Girls: Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup



This cupcake here is Mocha Topps. I wasn't able to took a shot of it in it's original packaging, but anyways.. I did enjoyed it. This cupcake has a real nice smooth aroma, just like that of sweet coffee.

The filling inside is Vanilla, if I'm not mistaken.





Now this one cupcake, is introduced to my by Krizzia Udtohan, a friend of mine in high school. I got acquianted to CHEESY TOPPS because she always eats this, even before it was advertised in national TV.

and now you know the amazing contents of this delectable cupcake... rawr!


It has it's own unique cheese flavor, the sprinkles, icing, filling, and the cake itself. My American cousin liked this cupcake, and this is his fave.



And of course, Chocolate would not let itself get beaten....


We have Choco Topps, the last... but certainly not the least (yeah)

top view (cupcake is on my Sailor Moon fan)





I always love the sprinkles...



Why is it that vanilla always tastes good with chocolate??



Hope you enjoyed the pictures...

Parcels and Cards


Our Internet connection has been down lately... so I haven't been able to post what I have been sending and receiving. Well, last week... I have received these cards:

Received on June 5, Tuesday from seeing who made a private swap with me in exchange for a birthday card for her friend. So sweet :)

The following day, June 6, I got this card from my regular postcard swapper, Mme Annick from France. She sent me this postcard... which is in my favorites! Thank you so much <3


For Monday's mail... which was June 11... I got these lot:


A Korean Periodical, Two Postcards, One mail from Joyce Meyer Ministries, an envelope... and another parcel notice.



This postcard was sent by kirjakko from Bookcrossing... aww. She has went to Berchtesgaden, Königssee, and Kehlsteinhaus  in or almost on the border of Germany and Austria. How cool is that! Thank you for sending me a postcard!



This postcard is a from Suzanne1804's project: "receive a card from a student and send one back"


The host is a teacher, who wants her students to learn and enjoy writing good english sentences. I have participated in her project before (I think this is the second time, or the third?), and always enjoy it.
On the back, a student named Reno, 13, and who likes to play the PS3,
 mentions that this is the place where he lives. 

This just makes me realized that I love to participate in helping people with their projects ^0^


June 11, I really cannot miss this chance to go to the post office in Quezon City... where my parcels are held. It's because, one or two of my parcels will be returned if I don't claim them by this day.  June 12, is the day where we celebrate our Independence Day, and by then, offices are closed.




Claiming the parcels, the guy mentioned that my payment for them was incomplete. Puzzled, I asked why??
And it's all because, I have a 7TH PARCEL to claim!

(UBOS PERA... tsk tsk) Money Gone.
Before I show you guys what are the 7 lucky parcels that I receive... here are the contents of that envelope... the one in the middle of the Korean periodical, and mail from Joyce Meyer.

A notecard "Drawing of a woman's head" by Leonarda da Vinci











Well, these cards are from the May Postcard Train (International), hosted by ladyaries7.
You take out as many postcards you like, then replace the same amount. 
Going to send them next to EnchantedKittenz in Canada.

Scanned these pcs as well.


SO, here we are... the 7 lucky parcels. I'll reveal them to you next time ;)
Stay tuned.
