THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

A Look At Manila’s DreamPlay (by DreamWorks)

05.31.2015 by Leah //

AJ and I had our pre-anniversary dinner at City of Dreams Manila last weekend, and we took this opportunity to check out DreamPlay, the world's first edutainment (education + entertainment) center that features interactive environment for both kids and adults, using the very latest digital technology. Look, there's Hiccup and Toothless! A lot of people were having ... READ MORE

Love Love Tulisan Indonesia

05.22.2015 by Leah //

I'm having some kind of Cath Kidston withdrawal.  Proof?  I haven't been stalking their website for 3 weeks already haha! It used to be that I check the Cath Kidston website every week, not exactly looking for something to buy but just to window shop. Big thanks to my Cath Kidston sisters - Mother E and Diane, I was able to build up my Cath Kidston collection that fast ... READ MORE

Flower Bouquet Cupcakes

05.15.2015 by Leah //

Just sharing with you these gorgeous-looking and super yummy caramel cupcakes I ordered from Blue Toque for my mom last Sunday, in celebration of Mother's Day.  It was the design that really caught my attention - lovely blooms in orange peach and green - making these floral cupcakes look like a bouquet when arranged in a plate. I've had my share of disappointing cupcakes ... READ MORE

No-Bake Summer Dessert Recipes with Lemon Square

05.08.2015 by Leah //

The unforgiving summer heat has made it difficult for AJ to resume his baking experiments, which is sad because I do like to munch on his chocolate or butter cake after dinner to cap my evening.   And now that we are hitting 37-38 degrees Celsius this summer, I need cold sweets too + lots of water to keep my body from collapsing from the terrible heat. With AJ’s baking ... READ MORE

Bag Crush: Mansur Gavriel

05.01.2015 by Leah //

I can't even begin to tell you how bad I wanted to own a Mansur Gavriel.  The Bag Hag blogged about it in January this year, and it was love at first sight (again!) for me. It was the description "very light" that made me take interest in their bags - particularly the tote bag which is simple in design but has very fine structure.  Investing in good leather bag/s is always a ...

Blue Sapphire: A Gemstone of Love

04.24.2015 by Leah //

From the Diamond-Jewelry-Pedia: "The "Celestial" Sapphire - symbol of the heavens, is said to guarantee good health, innocence, truth, and preserver of chastity. It is the birthstone of September and its name is derived from the Latin word "Sapphirus" meaning blue. This gem has been known since the ancient times. There was a belief that Earth is set on this gemstone, ... READ MORE

Taal Vista Hotel

04.17.2015 by Leah //

I've been reading lots of good feedback about Taal Vista Hotel, so to celebrate AJ's birthday last week, I booked us a weekend stay here. Thankfully, traffic was not so bad that Saturday morning.  We left Makati at 11 (without any breakfast!) and was at the hotel at exactly 1:30 p.m.  We were supposed to have lunch first at Josephine's before checking in at Taal Vista but ...

Maleficent’s Fire

04.12.2015 by Leah //

The green fire of Maleficent inspired the creation of this jewelry setting using beautiful Biron emeralds (check out my first emerald jewelry feature HERE). The idea was to create a jewelry setting inspired by Maleficent (Angelina Jolie's version).  It has to display power, fierce, drama and flamboyance - Maleficent's defining characteristics.  Big Biron emeralds ...
