THE BRIGHT SPOT

More Happy Times @ Christmas 2013

01.10.2014 by Leah //

I've just finished doing back-up of my photos from last year's Christmas, and thought of rounding up some photos to summarize everything else that kept me busy during the holidays.  It's not just the holiday feast (which I wrote about here) that made it merry, but the precious time I spent with my  family, good friends and lovable inaanaks!   Here are some more snippets ...

A Birthday Celebration at The Ranch Resort and Farm

01.07.2014 by Leah //

My sister-in-law Juvvy, of the Mommy Juvs blog, finally wrote about my nephew's 3rd birthday celebration last year (read her kwento here).  This reminded me that I have some photos from that trip as well which I haven't shared with you yet. Here goes my very belated post about my trip to Cebu in October last year: Because Liam loves swimming pools and animals, his parents ... READ MORE

A Bespoke South Sea Pearl Ring

01.05.2014 by Leah //

Remember this loose golden south sea pearl I bought in Palawan last May? (shown below with my pair of golden south sea pearl earrings) I finally had it designed into a ring! Here is it on my middle finger: The pearl is really big, I love it! I personally chose the design of the ring, which shows 2 gold bands in 14k yellow gold held together by the pearl. My trusted ...

My Holiday Feast

01.02.2014 by Leah //

Happy New Year, dear readers! I just reported back to work today (after taking a 2-week holiday vacation) and was relieved to find my In-tray to be still visible (meaning, it's not swamped with memos and other paperworks).  I had no problems getting my work groove back because I've rested well during my vacation, and I think a lot of people are still on holiday break so ...

Taking the Big Leaps in 2014

12.31.2013 by Leah //

Today is the last day of the year, and I'd like to remember it as the year when I took giant leaps for The Bright Spot - with lots of wonderful surprises! The year 2013 saw The Bright Spot move to its new (and permanent) home, experience the thrill of receiving invitations for events and restaurant try-outs (check out my posts on World of Toyota, Frankie's New York Chicken ...

Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Cream of Mushroom

12.30.2013 by Leah //

Here's a very easy recipe for roasted chicken that you can try for your Media Noche tomorrow.  It is adopted from the recipe of the same title that I found while browsing through the Assumption Cookbook (Pearl Edition), prepared by the High School Class of '79. Two (2) things love about this roasted chicken recipe:  (1) you need only 4 ingredients to prepare it, and (2) no ... READ MORE

Ebelskivers

12.28.2013 by Leah //

We had homemade Danish Ebelskivers last week, which we enjoyed very much because they tasted like pancakes but are much more solid and filling. Interestingly, in Denmark, ebelskivers (which are basically pancakes but with a sphere shape) are commonly served during Christmas with mulled wine, which is made of red wine, sugar and spices like cinnamon, ginger and bitter ...

A Festival of Lights at Policarpio Street in Mandaluyong

12.26.2013 by Leah //

Hello!  How was your Christmas?  Mine was great!  It was generally stress-free, and I finally got my wish to see the illuminated houses at Policarpio Street in Mandaluyong! One of the things I look forward to in December is being surrounded by Christmas lights.  Not just because they are visually entertaining, but because light is one of the important symbols of Christmas.  ...
