THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

John Lennon @ 72

10.09.2012 by Leah //

I've always found it cool to have had a lola (grandma) who shared her birth date with John Lennon, my favorite among the Beatles.   My mom would always kid me for forgetting to greet my lola on her birthday, and yet I never fail to forget that it's John Lennon's birthday hehe.   Weird, huh? I'm glad that I wasn't born in the 60's or I would end up stalking the Beatles too, ... READ MORE

Easy Bacon Pesto Pasta

10.08.2012 by Leah //

My family and relatives love, love my bacon pesto pasta and they always ask me to make one whenever there's an occasion, or simply when they are craving for it. Did you know that it takes only two (2) ingredients to make my mean pesto sauce? And because I'm feeling happy today I'm gonna share my secret recipe with you.  There's nothing magic about it, really, and yet ... READ MORE

Hot Dog + Pork and Beans Medley

10.06.2012 by Leah //

Our breakfast last Sunday: My dad first made this recipe and we used to have this as breakfast back when I was still single. So last Sunday, instead of making the usual hotdog and scrambled egg combo for breakfast, I pulled out a can of small pork and beans from the pantry to make my dad's exact recipe.    I used my Saladmaster 10-inch sauce pan for this. All you ... READ MORE

I found the best Blueberry Cheesecake at Facebook!

10.03.2012 by Leah //

I LOVE cheesecakes.   My ultimate indulgence is the New York Cheesecake from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, but my ultimate favorite is the blueberry cheesecake, which I get from the Red Ribbon Bakeshop. It used to be that I buy blueberry cheesecake only at Red Ribbon.  I love their blueberry filling very much, as well as the rich, creamy taste (and texture) of the cream ... READ MORE

My Loot from the S&R Sale

10.01.2012 by Leah //

Almost everyone I knew shopped here last weekend: This sale is one of the biggest that S&R offers exclusively to its members. My parents and I checked out the sale last Saturday and the lines inside were insane!   We lined up to the cashier for almost 4 hours or rather, my dad did, while my mom and I did our shopping.   No complaints though, because the S&R ...

Wok Inn (Malate)

09.30.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I happened to pass by the old Wok Inn restaurant along Remedios Street, Malate on our way to Robinson's Place Manila yesterday and decided to take our late lunch there. We used to frequent this place at its Makati branch (the one in Parksquare 1 just across Dusit Thani Hotel) but that one has long closed so this one is the closest we could get to.      You could ...

Dalmatian Dog Bone Invitations for Liam’s 2nd Birthday

09.29.2012 by Leah //

When my nephew Liam turned 1 in October last year, his parents threw a cowboy-theme party for him and his guests and I made the simple, Western-style invitations for them. This year Liam will turn 2 and he will celebrate it in school with the Dalmatian dogs as theme.   You see, Liam loves animals, and is most fond with "Aw-Aw" - a dalmatian dog stuff toy given to him by his ...

The Quest for Burmese Rubies

09.28.2012 by Leah //

I can't remember when was it that I first looked for ruby earrings for my collection.   Red rubies and green emeralds are the most difficult to find among all precious stones because their supply is really low.   The rarest and most valuable colors (vivid pigeon blood red for ruby and medium-to-dark green tone for emeralds) are so expensive there's no way I can afford ...
