THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Tamarind-Glazed Pork Stir-Fry

05.13.2012 by Leah //

Another winning recipe from Yummy Magazine (October 2011 issue)!   The original recipe calls for chicken breast but we only have pork steak at home so we did the pork version instead.   I now count this as one of our favorite dishes.  Who would have thought that you can use sinigang na sampalok (tamarind stew mix) in a stir-fry dish? Ingredients: 1/2 kilo pork steak ... READ MORE

Hello Kitty now flies!

05.11.2012 by Leah //

I saw this post from Sis Marjorie's blog and I know I just have to share it!  I'm a big Hello Kitty fan (as some of you may have obviously guessed by now, judging from the number of posts I've made about my favorite character in the whole world - Hello Kitty). Eva Air launched early this year their Hello Kitty-themed aircraft, and  according to Anna Wong, an EVA Air public ... READ MORE

Whoopie Pie!

05.10.2012 by Leah //

I've been putting on some weight lately (sob!) and I blame it on Starbucks' Whoopie Pie!    How can you resist this soft cookie sandwich with eyes looking straight at you? Starbucks' version is sweet (but not too sweet) and I like the soft chocolate cookie more than the creamy filling inside.   I think they offer this for a limited time only so I make sure I get my fix every ...

More on Cebu City…

05.09.2012 by Leah //

I was doing a back-up of my picture folders the other day, and saw these Cebu pics that I haven't shared with you yet.   You really could tour the city in one whole day! Here are more of the places that we went to see in Cebu City: Magellan's Cross.   Sto. Nino Church or Basilica Minore del Santo Nino  (just beside Magellan's Cross).  This is where you will find the ... READ MORE

Baked Spaghetti

05.06.2012 by Leah //

AJ and I love to cook pasta.   I do the sauce and he cooks the pasta.  That's always been our assignments, because I don't know how to cook a perfect al dente pasta hehe.  I am afraid of high heat in the gas stove and the first time I cooked pasta noodles, it was a disaster haha!   Half of the noodles did not cook properly and stuck together. But now with my Saladmaster ... READ MORE

Fringed Bag {Louboutin Style}

05.04.2012 by Leah //

This Christian Louboutin leather fringe bag looks so difficult to pull off: But I guess not with this Hervé Léger Tri-tone A-line bandage dress: For once, it is the bag chain that is fringed, and not the body, which is the more familiar look of a fringed bag. This Louboutin bag can be carried sans the fringes too, by interchanging the fringed chain with a handle ... READ MORE

You Are So Beautiful To Me, Jessica

05.03.2012 by Leah //

I've been following "American Idol" since I heard Jessica Sanchez sing Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You".   I just love her voice(!) and I'm so proud to see her evolve from a shy, petite girl with a small talking voice (but big and impressive singing voice) into a Diva that she is now. Tonight, the Idols were made to sing a song from the '60s and a British song.  I ... READ MORE

Cleaning an Electric Kettle

05.01.2012 by Leah //

Today is Labor Day and it's a regular holiday here in the Philippines.  That means no work, and lots of time for house work and blogging!   I made use of that free day wisely and was able to accomplish so many things:  cooking our lunch, updating my blog, organizing my office emails (opps, that's work but I decided to do it while I still have free time) and finally cleaning our ...
