THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

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

The revolutionary Pressure Pan

01.12.2012 by Leah //

We received this wonderful gift last Christmas (thank you, Tita Raquel!) and it's our favorite kitchen buddy right now: Cooking was made easy with this Philkraft Pressure Pan which has triple ceramic coatings on both sides of the pan, enabling it to heat quickly and evenly.   As a result, you save energy, time and money! We cooked pork chops last weekend using the ... READ MORE

New Year Feast

01.01.2012 by Leah //

Happy New Year, everyone!!!  How did your celebration go?  =) Here at our home (my side of the family), we no longer strictly observe the Media Noche (Midnight Feast), where families gather together at the stroke of midnight to welcome the New Year and feast on lots of food.  For several years,  we have been having this feast at dinner time (instead of midnight), so we won't ...

12 Round Fruits to Welcome the New Year

12.30.2011 by Leah //

We were at Quiapo today to hear mass and buy round fruits for the Media Noche tomorrow.    As the tradition goes, we have to have 12 round fruits (with no black seeds) at the dinner table tomorrow, for our year to be lucky and prosperous. We have counted 9 round fruits in our fruit platter so far, so tomorrow morning we need to head to the public market to look for 3 more ... READ MORE

Gadget Gifts

12.30.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I decided not to give each other presents last Christmas and instead gifted ourselves with the following "investments": Got this really generous sale offer at Anson's Makati for an LG 32-inch LCD TV that we couldn't resist.   Aside from its superb functions, the lay-away plan (P1,750 for 12 months) was too good to pass by.     Now, see that black CPU at the left ...

A Surprise Christmas Gift from Japan

12.26.2011 by Leah //

I am a big, big fan of Hello Kitty and every year I get a Hello Kitty item as Christmas gift - coin purses, mugs, face towel and even a car bobble head with Hello Kitty's head moving sideways (this freaks me out, though). But this year, I got really special Hello Kitty gifts that came all the way from Japan!  W@Wie couple Marjorie and Atsushi of On Chocolate Hill gave me ... READ MORE

Christmas Loot Bags

12.18.2011 by Leah //

Tomorrow is our office's children's party, a yearly event we organize every December for the kids.   I am in charge of the games and I am already excited to see them get challenged with what I've prepared haha. I am also done preparing my Christmas loot bags.  For weeks I've been racking my brain on what to give them kids.   It's so difficult to think of a uniform gift for ... READ MORE

Christmas Gifts

11.30.2011 by Leah //

Finally, I'm done wrapping our gifts today!   I didn't realize they're so plenty they've occupied the whole of AJ's accent chair already hehe! I love the gift bags we got at S&R.   Only P69.75 each for these imported gift bags that are made of thick paper in matte finish, and with free gift tags.   I used them to wrap my gifts to my inaanaks (godchildren). Our ... READ MORE
