THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

A Sunday Well Spent

08.04.2013 by Leah //

I can't believe it's gonna be Monday already.  It felt like I had only a day off from work this week because I worked at home yesterday to finish a policy paper that's due before the 15th of this month. It's a good thing AJ scheduled the car check-up also yesterday so we decided to take it easy and just stay at home.  We cooked dinner and enjoyed the Royce Nama Chocolate as ... READ MORE

Life is a box of Royce Nama Chocolate

08.03.2013 by Leah //

We've had this box of Royce Nama Chocolate Au Lait in our freezer since last Christmas (thanks, Mae Anne!) but we only got to open it tonight. Much has been about this luxurious chocolate from Japan, with its trademark velvety smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture. And the chocolate?  Simply excellent.  It reminded me so much of the movie "Chocolat"; of Vianne's ... READ MORE

My Wish List at Zalora…

08.02.2013 by Leah //

Today I was inspired to create a collage similar to Daphne's collages which she features regularly in her blog.  I always look forward to seeing the lovely items that she would put up together, and I don't know how she does it but they always look well curated.  So I hope she won't mind me doing something similar for my blog because I, too, loves creating picture ...

Shopping (again!) for Pretty Papers at 101 Grams of {Eye} Candy

07.29.2013 by Leah //

This is not the first time I've shopped at 101 Grams of {Eye} Candy.   I placed my first order last May (which you saw here) and I loved them all.  So much so that I decided that for this Christmas, I'll be sharing their wonderful paper products to my close friends. I know Christmas is still 5 months away but yes, I do my Christmas shopping really early.   I've been like ... READ MORE

A Birthday Card for Maxine

07.28.2013 by Leah //

2 weeks ago, my kumare, Denise, asked me to pinch in ideas for a homemade birthday card she's making for her daughter (and my inaanak) Maxine, who celebrated her 8th birthday last July 19.   Maxine asked for a "birthday card" as gift from her parents and so Denise has to make one that will surprise her very creative and artistic daughter hehe! The "birthday card" wish of ... READ MORE

Our New Coffee Fix

07.27.2013 by Leah //

Ever since we bought this Piccolo Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine (on sale at P2,500 only), we've been having café-style coffee almost every night.  We still love our Starbucks Via, Batangas barako and Vietnamese drip coffee, of course,  but right now this is our favorite   =) My favorite flavor so far is the Lungo, which literally means "long coffee".  Caffè Lungo is a ...

Food Post: Paris Délice

07.23.2013 by Leah //

Délice is a French word for "delight".  When I first saw this café I thought it odd that it chose a spot alongside McDonald's and Jollibee, the 2 biggest fast food chains in the country.  I know that foot traffic is unusually high in this area because of its proximity to the Makati Central Business District, and Burgos Street (Makati's hottest entertainment strip today), but ...

A Different Dining Room at Gourmet Farms

07.21.2013 by Leah //

Three (3) Sundays ago, AJ and I went to Silang, Cavite with my good friend and kumare, Chel and her mom, Tita Chit.   We were there on a "secret mission" (will tell you when it's a done deal hehe!) and Tita Chit and Chel invited us to have lunch at The Dining Room at Gourmet Farms. It was my first time to be there, and I was totally "enchanted" by the place.   I love the ... READ MORE
