Choco Pastillas - A Review

Hi Friends!  Let me share you about a delicacy called, "Choco Pastillas" that I recently bought online.  In the Philippines, "pastillas" is a dessert mixed with milk and sugar.  It is very sweet and delicious, most kids love them.  As I was browsing through my news feed on Facebook, I saw this picture that caught my eye.  It says "Php54.00 per box with 16 pieces."  The pastillas was uniquely shaped in square, drizzled with chocolate.  I got more enticed of it because of their lovely boxes.  As they say, presentation is the first impression.  I couldn't get enough thinking not to buy this so I texted the seller and decided to meet up the next day.  I bought two boxes to try it out first, and could probably give them to my close friends later.

So here it is:

It's Palm Sunday!

April 1.  For others, it's April Fool's Day, but for me, it's Palm Sunday.

Catholics raising their Palm Leaves for Blessings

The Palm Sunday is the first day of the Holy Week.  It is celebrated by the Catholics all over the world every year where they bring "Crosses" made out of palm leaves when they go to church. They do this by raising these long stalks of leaves and have it blessed by the Priest with Holy Water.  This is also the reason why it's called, "Palm Sunday."


After the Catholic mass, people would hang this on their house doors to get "blessings" from the Lord as a part of the tradition.
