This is the continuation of my food post on Ogetsu Hime, which I decided to break into two (2) separate posts because I couldn't miss out on everything we had there. Yes, they're ALL that good! Click here for the first installment of my review on Ogetsu Hime, which is all about sushi and Japanese rolls! For the main course, two (2) of Ogetsu Hime's superstar dishes were ... READ MORE
Brighten up your day with Cath Kidston
Brighten Up print from Cath Kidston's spring collection for 2014. It celebrates the iconic British seaside town of Brighton, which I know mainly because I've read about its famous chain pier - the Brighton Palace Pier and Theater - from a travel guidebook on UK before. One of the earliest amusement centers constructed in the UK (it opened in 1823), it's been said that it ... READ MORE
Gourmet Chicken Adobo
My birthday month is almost over and lest I forget, here's the Gourmet Chicken Adobo recipe that I promised to share when I wrote about our Asahi convection oven (thanks to all your wonderful comments, by the way!) I got this adobo recipe from the same cookbook where I found the recipe for Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Cream of Mushroom - the Assumption Cookbook (Pearl ... READ MORE
Taking a short break…
Hello, friends! I am supposed to write tonight the continuation of our sumptuous luncheon at Ogetsu Hime some weeks ago (read the first part of my food post here) but I am very much distracted with the work I took home (didn't realize it was plenty!) so the second part will come out later this week instead. I am already halfway done with the office reports in my to-do list ... READ MORE

The hubby was in the mood for baking last Wednesday and made these delectable chocolate cupcakes with a twist (yummy!). He's also in the mood for another guest post here in the The Bright Spot, as there's an interesting story to tell behind these celebratory cupcakes that he made (no help from me this time, hehe!). Read on, and enjoy AJ's ... READ MORE
Spotting a Fake Lacoste Shirt
Last week I talked about my collection of Lacoste shirts and I mentioned that Rustan's (the exclusive distributor of Lacoste apparel and bags here in Manila) do not carry my size anymore (which is a kid's size - 14). This sad news, coupled by the positive feedback I've been reading about this particular Instagram (IG) reseller of Lacoste shirts and bags, made me want try her ... READ MORE
Rockin’ Raw and Rolls at Ogetsu Hime
A new Japanese restaurant has opened at SM Aura in December last year, and the hubby and I were invited 2 Saturdays ago to try their selection of dishes. We don't have an inkling of what the restaurant has to offer, but when I googled up the English translation of its name, my eyes lit up because I saw the words "goddess of food". The restaurant's name is Ogetsu Hime, short ... READ MORE
Life Insurance is a Liquid Investment
I bought my first life insurance policy when I was 22. I have to credit my parents for instilling in me (and my brother) at an early age the importance of saving money for the future, and investing in life insurance. When I received my first paycheck from my second (and more stable) job, I asked my mom to set me an appointment with our insurance agent from Insular Life (who ... READ MORE
