THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Free LBC Pick Up!

05.01.2013 by Leah //

In case you didn't know, I have a little eBay shop where I sell some of my books, shoes and other items that I no longer use.  You may want to check it out; all items I sell are in mint condition. In shipping the sold items to my buyers, I have relied at the shipping services of Xend, Air21 and LBC.  Xend used to be my favorite because it offers the lowest shipping rates and ... READ MORE

Choco Mangga

04.30.2013 by Leah //

We got this as pasalubong from Dino and Juvvy when they were here last month to spend the Holy Week with us and my parents: I learned from Juvvy that this is the latest craze in Cebu - dried mangoes dipped in chocolate!  I thought all along that it was premium Belgian chocolate because it tasted like one, until Juvvy told me otherwise hehe! But I love it, I really ... READ MORE

A Peek at Best Food Forward 2013

04.30.2013 by Leah //

Thanks to Nuffnang Philippines, AJ and I were able to attend the BEST FOOD FORWARD food fair which was held at the NBC Tent last weekend. I learned about it only the day before it opened and when I read that there will be Butter Beers at the fair, this is what immediately came to my mind: Yea, that Magical Drink!  (photo source here) We were able to go on the ...

Crafty Gift Wrap

04.26.2013 by Leah //

Just sharing with you this little craft project I did last week: DIY wrapping paper that I used to wrap some birthday gifts. I used a pattern paper as the 'wrapping paper', which I got from National Bookstore (only P19.75 for 5 sheets).  I like the paper because it's smooth, durable and easy to work with stamp (the ink dries out easily). This is also my first time to ... READ MORE

Handmade Jewelry from Around the World at Novica

04.24.2013 by Leah //

NOVICA, the online shop with largest collection of artisan handcrafted jewelry, including pearl, turquoise and handmade silver treasures is now a site partner of The Bright Spot.   I fell in love with their jewelry collection the first time I saw them and I know you would too.  And for something that's handmade, they're not that expensive. Below are some of my favorites from ... READ MORE

Food Post: Wingman at The Collective

04.22.2013 by Leah //

What a Monday!  I felt like I was gone for a week because of the reports that I rushed to finish this morning, not to mention the powerpoint presentation for the boss's big report next week that was due before lunch.   I shortened  my lunch  so I could finish the review of a policy document.  Then I spent the rest of the afternoon crunching numbers for a management report that ...

My 2 weeks with Liam

04.19.2013 by Leah //

My brother relayed this very happy news about Liam today: he was awarded an Academic Award during his Moving Up Day!  Congrats, dear Liam! Which reminds me, I wasn't able to tell you much about their 2-weeks visit here (they spent the Holy Week with us).  I was amazed at how fast Liam has grown.  At his age (2 years old), he can put words together very well.  He also ...

A Treasure Trove at 10A Alabama

04.17.2013 by Leah //

Last Sunday, AJ and I braved the summer heat to check out the Handmade Arts and Crafts Fair at 10A Alabama Street.  I've read countless blog posts about this fair which is like a treasure trove of handmade and DIY products by creative and resourceful artists.  Here you will find lots of paper craft, handmade jewelry, craft materials, handmade dolls, etc.   You will also find ...
