THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Definitely Maybe

09.01.2012 by Leah //

August 30 marked the 18th anniversary of the release of Oasis' debut album, Definitely Maybe.   This album catapulted the band into its Beatles-like status, and went to sell over 8 million copies worldwide.    NME named it as the "greatest album of all time". I learned about Oasis and its first but already critically acclaimed album when I saw the music video of "Live ... READ MORE

Farewell, Inay

08.22.2012 by Leah //

It was a weekend of mourning for us as we learned of the death of my maternal lola (grandmother) whom we fondly call Inay (mother) last Sunday morning.   She was 90 years old.  We immediately traveled to Batangas (my mom's hometown) to arrange the wake and the funeral which was held yesterday. I have many fond memories of Inay back when I was a kid.  I used to spend summers at ... READ MORE

London Olympics’ Closing Ceremony: The Best Show Ever!

They got the Spice Girls!   Like! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PArTdhNda7k&w=560&h=315]   They got Liam Gallagher of Oasis Beady Eye (minus Noel, of course)!   Super Like!

‘The Filipino Spirit is Waterproof’

08.09.2012 by Leah //

These are just some of the artworks that have been making rounds at Facebook.  I soon learned that Ayala Museum called on artists and graphic designers to submit their works inspired by this encouraging mantra that gives homage to our bayanihan (camaraderie) spirit: "The Filipino spirit is waterproof". Check out more of these inspiring artworks at ... READ MORE

Red Alert

08.08.2012 by Leah //

It's been raining here at abnormal level for 2 days.   Work was suspended yesterday and it's a good thing I decided not to report today too because work was again suspended at our office later this afternoon.  I am both sad and worried for those who still came to work today and now cannot go home because most of the roads are flooded (waist deep again) by now. So DOST-PAGASA ... READ MORE

Liam in Mommy Fleur’s Blog!

08.08.2012 by Leah //

A little sunshine to brighten up my very wet and scary day: My nephew, Liam, was featured in Mommy Fleur's blog!   It turned out that Juvvy, Liam's mom (and my sis-in-law), is a fan of this blog and submitted Liam's picture to be featured there.  Actually, I've been meaning to do that too but I'm glad that Juvvy beat me to it hehe! Endearing Liam -- Mommy Fleur ... READ MORE

Are you ready for the Phantom?

08.03.2012 by Leah //

About 2 months ago I happily bought a dvd copy of The Phantom of the Opera - that 2004 movie adaption that starred the young Gerard Butler as the Phantom and Emma Rossum as Christine.  I haven't seen the actual musicale yet so this is the closest I could get to hearing its famous songs ("All I Ask of You" and "Music of the Night") and see in moving pictures the haunting love ...

Update on Rustan’s

07.31.2012 by Leah //

This update on my issue with Rustan's is super delayed already.   We got so busy these past few weekends and the typhoons further delayed our trip back to the store. Anyway, Rustan's was able to make true its promise and informed us before the 15th that the repaired induction cooker was ready for pick-up.  Remember, we gave them only until the 15th to have the repaired unit ...
