In the modern times, apart from celebrating the resurrection of Christ through salubong, Easter Sunday depicts a day of happiness and get-together with the family. The Easter egg is the most popular symbol of Easter Sunday, which according to the history, links to the cracking of the egg shells with the empty tomb of Jesus. Read More »
St. Peter Parish Church also known as St. Peter the Apostle or San Pedro Apostol is a 16th century old Church located in a small town of Apalit, Pampanga in Central Luzon. It has neo-renaissance design resembling classical Europe. It belongs to the archdiocese of San Fernando by Archbishop Florentino Lavarias.
The Church is most identified by it’s cupola or dome and eye-catching mural paintings on it’s ceiling. The most notable artwork can be found in the dome which depict an Apocalypse. The beautiful paintings were done using trompe l’oeil, an art technique that uses realistic imagery to produce optical illusion.

In Spanish cooking, a churro is a cake-like, pastry made of dough and fried in oil (100% olive oil in some traditional recipes). Once cooked, churros should be crispy golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. In Spain, it is eaten plain or rolled in cinnamon sugar. It can either be thin or long and thick. This pastry delight is popular in Spain, Portugal, France, South Americas, Iberian America and other Spanish-colonial regions like the Philippines and many more. Nowadays, there are a lot of versions and varieties on how it’s cooked and eaten.
La Lola Churreria is a top choice for classic churros and other specialty snacks since it opened in 2014. Their very first branch is in Powerplant Mall, Rockwell. Currently, they have 8 branches all over NCR and I was able to try their specials at the ground level of The Block in SM North Edsa branch. Read More »

Inside, the homey ambiance will take you give you a sense of home. The main restaurant is great for romantic dates or long talks. The walls are mostly white with elegant furnishings and is air-conditioned. I have to say this is my spot if I need to finish a report or hold a casual business meeting. Read More »
