I had so much fun with our DIY tea party at home last year - the preparations and all - so I promised myself I'll do another small party this year. My good friend (and also my kumare), Chel, suggested that we hold an Ice Cream Party at home. That was some months ago but we were able to finalize the date only last July during our trip to Gourmet Farms. The ice cream party was ... READ MORE
Shopping Theraphy + Dim Sum Break
I noticed that my posts on Divisoria shopping, craft stamps and food are getting the most number of hits in my blog, so today's post is going to be all about that! =) If you've been following me at Instagram (@dbrightspot), you'd know where I was last Saturday. Yes, I was at my happy place again - 168 Mall haha! I went with my cousin, Mae Anne, who's become my Divi ... READ MORE
How to make your own Buttermilk Scones
I love scones! Scones are what I look forward to when having afternoon tea and you saw that when I wrote about our afternoon tea experience at the Manila Peninsula, New World Hotel and TWG Tea Salon and Boutique. So it really gives me great joy to be able to finally make them (mostly with AJ's help!) this morning, following this easy video recipe from The Joy of Baking. The ... READ MORE
Chocolate Favorites
After writing about the Royce Nama Chocolate, I was inspired to create this collage with all the chocolates I currently love. They're not much, to begin with, because I am not really what you call a Chocoholic. But I love having chocolates once in a while, and always with a cup of strong black coffee =) Here are my current favorites: Royce Nama Chocolate. My ... READ MORE
A Sunday Well Spent
I can't believe it's gonna be Monday already. It felt like I had only a day off from work this week because I worked at home yesterday to finish a policy paper that's due before the 15th of this month. It's a good thing AJ scheduled the car check-up also yesterday so we decided to take it easy and just stay at home. We cooked dinner and enjoyed the Royce Nama Chocolate as ... READ MORE
Life is a box of Royce Nama Chocolate
We've had this box of Royce Nama Chocolate Au Lait in our freezer since last Christmas (thanks, Mae Anne!) but we only got to open it tonight. Much has been about this luxurious chocolate from Japan, with its trademark velvety smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture. And the chocolate? Simply excellent. It reminded me so much of the movie "Chocolat"; of Vianne's ... READ MORE
Our New Coffee Fix
Ever since we bought this Piccolo Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine (on sale at P2,500 only), we've been having café-style coffee almost every night. We still love our Starbucks Via, Batangas barako and Vietnamese drip coffee, of course, but right now this is our favorite =) My favorite flavor so far is the Lungo, which literally means "long coffee". Caffè Lungo is a ... READ MORE
Food Post: Paris Délice
Délice is a French word for "delight". When I first saw this café I thought it odd that it chose a spot alongside McDonald's and Jollibee, the 2 biggest fast food chains in the country. I know that foot traffic is unusually high in this area because of its proximity to the Makati Central Business District, and Burgos Street (Makati's hottest entertainment strip today), but ...
