THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Food Post: Socrates’ Secret Restaurant

02.20.2015 by Leah //

A restaurant with the word "Secret" attached to its name is bound to pique my curiosity.  Add to that the enigmatic name "Socrates" and I knew that we're on to something interesting. Some weeks ago, AJ and I were invited to try this Greek taverna located at Laguna Central, Greenfield City.  AJ and I are actually very familiar with Laguna Central - being our "pit stop" ...

My Birthday x Cath Kidston

02.19.2015 by Leah //

Thanks to the powers and patience of Mother E, my birthday gift to myself arrived just before Valentine's Day.  Para na rin akong nakatanggap ng 12 bouquets of flowers when I saw the delivery hehe! Syempre, ano pa ba ang maiisip kong gift sa sarili ko aside from Cath Kidston items?  Eh di Cath Kidston pa rin hehehe!  I got a cag in bag (because tamad ako magdala ng payong sa ... READ MORE

London Calling

02.14.2015 by Leah //

Let me share with you this fondant cake I received from my Ninang Caro and her family last week (my birthday week), which AJ and I got to slice up only the other day. Next to Hello Kitty, I am addicted to anything British.  From my music preferences (The Beatles, Brit Pop heroes like Oasis and Blur, and even The Verve) to movies (I love watching BBC films) to books (Ian ...

A Sweet Life at Hyatt City of Dreams Manila

02.08.2015 by Leah //

Who would have thought that the universe will conspire with AJ in giving me a grand and surprise birthday gift yesterday: a sumptuous buffet dinner + overnight stay at the Hyatt City of Dreams! You all know how much we enjoyed our stay there last Christmas (read all about that HERE), and while I know of the hubby's plan to celebrate my birthday there with a special dinner, I ... READ MORE

Tea Cup for my Birthday

02.07.2015 by Leah //

February is my birth month, so it is only but fitting that I chose this particular tea cup and saucer set from Royal Albert's "Flower of the Month" series, which I bought from @paperstrawlove. This beautiful Royal Albert tea cup and saucer set is already vintage (having been released in the 70's) but it's in very pristine, almost new, condition that I didn't mind paying ... READ MORE

Pellegrino’s (No-Bake) Blueberry Cheesecake

01.31.2015 by Leah //

This is not the first time I'll be writing (and raving) about a good blueberry cheesecake.  As some of you may already know, I am a big fan of blueberry cheesecakes.  And that I'm very picky when it comes to the cream cheese filling.  I don't like it too light nor too heavy.  The smooth consistency must be there.  And most of all, it must not be too sweet. ...

Salcedo Saturday Market

01.25.2015 by Leah //

The weather yesterday was too perfect to be wasted indoors.  There's some sun but it was mostly cloudy and chilly.  With nothing major planned that day, AJ and I decided to head to the Salcedo Saturday Market to finally check it out. ... READ MORE

Easy Bangers and Mash Recipe

01.18.2015 by Leah //

Here's another easy peasy recipe that you can make at home, using only sausages, gravy mix, onions and mashed potatoes (bough from KFC): It's called Bangers and Mash (or Sausages and Mash), a well-loved British dish usually served during dinner (and with beer). ... READ MORE
