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 ...

Styling our Home for Christmas

10.07.2011 by Leah //

I'm glad I posted my "inspiration board" for our  first Christmas at home.    Good surprises came as a result of that post  =)    We were able to finish our hunt for the home items on our list early, and we are now 80% done with the home re-decoration. I originally wanted just red pillow cases for our sofa, like this: But I saw some really nice corduroy pillow cases ... READ MORE

A Little Room Renovation

09.24.2011 by Leah //

In our little but cute home, we have 2 rooms that we call the "Pink Room" and the "Blue Room".    The Blue Room is actually our master's bedroom, while the Pink Room is supposed to be our working area. But can we really work with this clutter? The room was turned into an attic, waah! After selling off our 2 extra microwaves, and buying some glass jars for my office ... READ MORE

Feeling Christmas

09.07.2011 by Leah //

The "ber" months are here!   And I am already looking forward to decorating our apartment (I promised myself I won't go overboard).    Red and gold are the color palettes I'm currently working with (but this could still change, depending on my mood hehe). One thing for sure, we won't be having a Christmas tree.   I just don't think it's practical to buy one, given our ... READ MORE

Western-Style Invitations

09.05.2011 by Leah //

I am done printing Liam's birthday invitations, all 90 of them.   Yey!   But for weeks I've been thinking on how to prettify the catalogue envelopes I bought for these invites.   I chose catalogue envelopes because I want them to be in brown, just right for Liam's cowboy-themed birthday celebration. Last weekend, as I was cleaning our "work room" - I saw my craft puncher in ... READ MORE

Chicken Salpicao

08.31.2011 by Leah //

This recipe is so easy to do, I challenged AJ that I'm going to do it.  Yes, me.   It's the first meal I'm going to put together so I really studied the recipe like I would on an office document hehe. I used the recipe I found from Kiko's Kitchen (thank god for food blogs!), except that we weren't able to put in button mushrooms because we forgot to get one at the grocery.  ... READ MORE

DIY Floral Decoration

08.29.2011 by Leah //

Remember our DIY lampshade? Placing it alongside my singing bowl, the ashtray that serves as our keys holder and a ceramic dish with lovebirds (a wedding gift to us), I figured the whole set-up looks gloomy.   It needs something colorful to break the monotony of neutral shades.   So I decided to add a floral piece here, and together with AJ, we made our own floral ...

The Wall Clock that Lasted 2 Days

08.13.2011 by Leah //

Last week I posted about our wall clock breaking down.   I almost ordered the one from IKEA but I want to look around.   I saw this very nice Seiko wall clock at SM but it is priced at P2,000++ so I didn't get it. Last Sunday AJ and I were at Rockwell and there's this clock shop beside Rustan's Supermarket selling Japan-made wall clocks.    There were lots of ... READ MORE
