THE BRIGHT SPOT

Food. Travel. Bargain finds. Random thoughts. A bright spot for sharing ideas and starting conversations!

A Short Visit to South Korea

12.31.2022 by Leah //

Today is the last day of 2022 and what better way to end it than document my travel highlight for this year: my short visit to South Korea last November. My employer was invited to attend an inauguration event and I was fortunate to have been part of our very lean delegation, which included our President and General Manager (equivalent to company CEO).  The event was to take ...

It’s good to be back in Cebu!

11.01.2022 by Leah //

There's a different kind of excitement when I rode the airplane again last August, for a weekend trip to Cebu to visit my brother and his family. I'm glad that Philippine Airlines (PAL) offered a "neighbor-free" seat for less than Php500 (per one-way trip); giving me an added peace of mind for my first plane ride after the pandemic.   I also opted for an early morning flight ...

Investing in Pearl Jewelry in the Time of Online Selling

04.15.2022 by Leah //

Hello, I'm back! I haven't been writing because there's nothing interesting to share but I've been seeing lots of ads in my IG lately about pearl jewelry for sale.  Some even have celebrity endorsers for their products. What piqued my curiosity was that there seems to be an excess supply of pearl necklaces because they are being sold everywhere.  It was so tempting to ... READ MORE

My 2021 in a Nutshell

12.31.2021 by Leah //

As we bid farewell to 2021, let us not forget to thank everyone around us especially those who helped us survive this difficult year - unscathed. And if you marked yourself as “Safe” from C19, other health scare and from typhoon ‘Odette’  - then that’s a whole lot to be grateful for. The year 2021 was definitely a challenging one for me.  I started the year in quarantine, ... READ MORE

The Plantdemic and How I found Joy in Gardening

08.14.2021 by Leah //

Let's talk about plants!   Like you, I was not immune to the 'plant craze' or 'plantdemic' that made people discover the joy of gardening during the pandemic.  In just a year, I have not only bought new plants but also new pots, plant stands, loam soil and even gardening tools!  I have learned how to re-pot plants, trim them and even propagate some. Unlike others though, I ... READ MORE

Our Lady of Fatima Faith Pendant

07.20.2021 by Leah //

This post has been sitting in my draft folder for a year now.  If you have been reading my blog for some time, you would know that I am a fan of enamel faith pendants.   I don't actively collect them but whenever a good piece comes along at a a good price and it just connects to me instantly - then I might just get it. I have no plans of buying another pendant but the ... READ MORE

Binondo Chinatown Museum

07.12.2021 by Leah //

The last museum visit we had was 2 years ago at the newly-opened Chinatown Museum inside Lucky Chinatown Mall.  We just got back from the UK and was shopping at the mall when we saw the escalator leading to the museum. In this museum one will learn (or, in our case, re-learn) the history of Binondo and of our Filipino-Chinese ancestors in a very modern way - through ... READ MORE

This is #MyNewNormal

05.23.2021 by Leah //

434 days have passed since the Philippines announced the #ECQ #lockdown starting March 16 last year, and here we are - still at it.  The community quarantine classifications have been modified so many times already but because I am praning, I still behave and move around as if we are still under ECQ. One reason for adopting this pragmatic mentality is my own experience with ... READ MORE
