THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Meet our Gingerbread Men

11.24.2011 by Leah //

Saw them at S&R last week and they're on sale at P199.00 / piece (from P250/piece)!  Cool! So cute!   They definitely complete our apartment's Christmas look. Also on sale are the Christmas ceramic figurines that lights up when you press the switch at the bottom.    It's on a buy 1, take 1 promo at P69.75 and I regret not having gotten more (bought only 1 ...

Quiapo’s Best Kept Secret: Wellmanson’s

11.22.2011 by Leah //

I first heard about Wellmanson's from an officemate who loves doing beads craft.   One day, she took me there and I was totally blown away with the many beaded items and jewelry materials / supplies available for sale.  It's virtually a mecca for all those who love accessories. Fast forward to 2011, I became a member of the Weddings at Work community and almost all ... READ MORE

Chicken and Asparagus Farfalle (from Appetite Magazine)

11.21.2011 by Leah //

I'm not ashamed to admit that I can't cook without the guidance of a recipe.   I'm still not ready to try dishes that I could call my own, much less prepare one that is based on stock knowledge haha! So I am really happy to discover food magazines that provides easy meals to follow.   I enjoyed preparing the Banana Chocnut Trifle last time so my excitement doubled when I ... READ MORE

Do you still save up coins?

11.20.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I believe in piggy bank savings so we collect, up to this day, the 5-peso and 10-peso coins we get as change. Last Saturday, we counted our first "conjugal" coin savings and collected P2,400, which we deposited later in the bank with our monthly savings  =) How about you?  Do you still save up coins or keep a piggy bank for extra savings?   ...

Our Personalized Notebooks are here!

11.20.2011 by Leah //

Last Thursday, AJ picked up the personalized notebooks we ordered from Printed Matters about two weeks ago.   I was at work so I couldn't come with him to pick them up. There were 158 notebooks all in all (this does not count the additional 24 we ordered), and am happy to see them neatly arranged in paper bags when I saw them later in the evening: Here are some of the ...

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in a Pop Art Collection

11.19.2011 by Leah //

Got this news from The Telegraph.   Romero Britto, the Brazilian pop artist who combined cubism and pop art in creating pop culture icons for  the Dalai Lama, Coco Chanel, Madonna and Michael Jackson, among the many others, turned out to be a huge fan of the royals, particularly Prince William and his new bride Kate. “It was wonderful to create their portrait, I just adore ...

Merry Crayon Wreath

11.17.2011 by Leah //

I saw this homemade Christmas wreath at etsy and I'm inspired to make one too!    The more colors there are, the merrier! Check out the similar project done by Angela of "A Bushel and a Peck of Fun".    It comes with an instruction (thank you!) and it's fairly easy to do!   We'll just be needing embroidery hoops, crayons (lots of it!) and glue gun. The good thing ... READ MORE

Bottega Veneta’s Hobo Bag: I want!

11.16.2011 by Leah //

I saw this braided leather hobo bag by Bottega Veneta and I wish I have the money to make it mine!   Red and pink are both happy colors and combined together, they spell double happiness!  I am loving the braided top handle, it complemented well the pink braided trims in the body of the bag.    And the extra big size allows you to put and bring in more things anywhere you go ...
