THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

A P500 Meal at Buddy’s Pancit Lucban

03.21.2013 by Leah //

You might think that AJ and I are big spenders on food (what with the many food blogs I've put in here).   Think again.   You'll actually find that we love discovering great food at great prices.   Yes, cheap thrills hehe! One restaurant that has became our go-to place whenever we're craving for home-cooked meals but am too tired to cook is Buddy's Pancit Lucban at ... READ MORE

The Manga Book of Judith

03.20.2013 by Leah //

Look what I found today: Two-volume Manga books on the story of Judith - one of the prominent heroic characters in the Bible that's female.   I got them from this little bazaar selling prayer books at the office today for....(drum roll, please)....P25.00 a piece.   So these two books are just P50.00 (or just a little over a dollar).   Winner! You may not know this but ... READ MORE

Food Post: La Lagrima Taqueria

03.19.2013 by Leah //

Another food post - from Cebu!  My 2-nights stay there last month was not only packed with work but food as well! I had a wonderful late lunch with my boss at Gold Mango Grill & Restaurant   on the 2nd day of my stay there, but on my first day I was with my brother and his family (that includes cute Liam!).    He and my sis-in-law, Juvvy, introduced me to this Mexican ...

Bono Artisanal Gelato

03.17.2013 by Leah //

I discovered Bono Artisanal Gelato through Instagram.   Apparently, there's something in this gelato place that the others don't have and people are posting so many pictures of their products - that's how much they love Bono Gelato. And when I read that they have a Speculoos Gelato I swear, I felt a sudden rush of happiness!  Then I read this very nice review of Bono Artisanal ... READ MORE

The Jewel Hut is on Sale!

03.16.2013 by Leah //

My affiliate site partner, The Jewel Hut, is holding a big jewelry sale (up to 50% off!) and I just couldn't take my eyes off these heavily discounted and beautifully crafted designs in silver and gold from their selection: From Hot Diamonds's Shade of Spring Collection - Flower Shaped Studs.  Made of Sterling Silver with Rose Gold Plating.  Perfect summer ...

How I Moved to a Self-Hosted WordPress Blog

03.15.2013 by Leah //

I have been meaning to write about my experience in moving my Wordpress-hosted blog to a self-hosted one, especially after I wrote about the Bright Spot's new look.  I think now is the best time to share it because I've been receiving inquiries on how I did it and if it's more convenient to just pay an expert to do it. Based on my experience, even if I have the money to ... READ MORE

Pasta in Olive Oil and Spanish Sardines

03.14.2013 by Leah //

This recipe was inspired by the Angel Hair Pasta with Spanish Sardines and Broccoli that my sis-in-law, Juvvy, prepared during my short stay in Cebu.  She paired it with Hungarian Sausages.    It was so good I promised myself I will make one home for AJ. And so, armed with a bottle of Spanish-style Sardines that was given to me as Christmas gift, plump tomatoes and basil ... READ MORE

Food Post: Gold Mango Grill & Restaurant

03.13.2013 by Leah //

While in Cebu last month, I passed by this new restaurant along the main road in Lapu Lapu City that has a very modern and eye-catching structural design.   I initially thought  it's a house with the big front lawn and big glass windows. Then I saw the restaurant's name:  Gold Mango.   Hmm sounds interesting! So after fetching my boss from the airport, I invited ... READ MORE
