THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Villa San Miguel

02.16.2012 by Leah //

Last Saturday AJ and I attended a family reunion from my dad's maternal side - the San Miguels - which was held at a private swimming pool owned by one of my dad's cousins (I think 2nd generation cousins already).   It's called Villa San Miguel and is located at Calamba in Laguna. The last time I've been there was ages ago, back when I was a kid and don't know how to swim ... READ MORE

Surprises on this Day of Hearts!

02.14.2012 by Leah //

AJ surprised me today with red roses!  It's really very sweet of him   =)   I wasn't expecting anything today because I know he'll be sleeping the whole morning (he works at night while I work at day).   In fact, we sort of "advanced" our Valentine celebration last weekend with a dinner at our favorite restaurant, Chili's, knowing fully well that traffic is going to be a ...

RIP Whitney Houston

02.12.2012 by Leah //

A tragic fall for the once Queen of Pop with a golden voice and a good-looking bodyguard in Kevin Costner (referring to her commercially successful movie, "The Bodyguard", in 1992). Whitney Houston was found dead early today at her room in a Beverly Hills hotel.  The singer's publicist, Kristen Foster, confirmed the news.  The cause of death was still unknown. Excerpts from ...

Trying out Hana at Little Tokyo

02.11.2012 by Leah //

I still couldn't get the hang of Little Tokyo which AJ and I tried out with friends some weeks ago.   So last Monday, to celebrate my birthday, I invited my parents to eat out there again but this time, we tried another restaurant there: Hana. Hana is popular for their Takoyaki, which we had the first time we ate at Little Tokyo and which I'd love for my parents to try. ... READ MORE

Pretty Pillow Cases

02.10.2012 by Leah //

Bought these at the Landmark last weekend... Pretty aren't they?   The one with yellow flowers is only P50 / piece while the one with white flowers and brown/green leaves was P60 / piece.   I plan to go back there this Sunday to more of its other designs in different color shades. Blue and brown are my color motifs for now and I love how cool it looks to the eyes  =)   ... READ MORE

Butterfly Perfume

02.07.2012 by Leah //

I got to chose my birthday gift from AJ last weekend and it's none other than the Butterfly Eau de Toilette from Marks and Spencer!   I discovered it early this year and I knew, from the first time I smelled its fruity scent (that leaves a soft musk fragrance later on), that this is what I want for my birthday. It comes in a pretty round bottle in apple green shade, with a very ... READ MORE

A Reunion with a Surprise Birthday Cake!

02.06.2012 by Leah //

I turned a year wiser today (!) but last weekend, I already celebrated my natal day in advance during a reunion with my long-time friends, Denise, Roy and Jan, whom AJ and I met at the Podium. We had dinner at Banana Leaf, known for its Asian fusion menu.   Our menu consisted of a mix of vegetables, seafood and meat.   Each has its own flavor, but all were distinctly ... READ MORE
