THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

A Reunion with a Surprise Birthday Cake!

02.06.2012 by Leah //

I turned a year wiser today (!) but last weekend, I already celebrated my natal day in advance during a reunion with my long-time friends, Denise, Roy and Jan, whom AJ and I met at the Podium. We had dinner at Banana Leaf, known for its Asian fusion menu.   Our menu consisted of a mix of vegetables, seafood and meat.   Each has its own flavor, but all were distinctly ... READ MORE

KC Concepcion on Rouge

01.26.2012 by Leah //

First, the new hairdo.   Now, a daring KC on the January-February 2012 cover of Rouge (photo source:  technobaboy): Didn't know she has a derriere that could rival those of Pippa Middleton and Kim Kardashian hehe.  Seriously, she looks so hot in here (good job, Rouge!) that I wonder if her ex-bf will have a sudden change of heart.  Your guess is as good as mine.   ...

Have seen a good film lately?

01.23.2012 by Leah //

Lately, I've made it a habit to cap my night (especially after a grueling day at the office) with a good film.   I find it therapeutic (aside from reading books and blogging) and nothing beats watching a good film while sipping tea or hot chocolate. To begin with, AJ and I rarely watch movies at the cinemas because not only are the tickets so expensive, we also hate it when ... READ MORE

The Transformation of Jinkee Pacquiao

01.13.2012 by Leah //

I started to take notice of Jinkee Pacquiao when her husband, pound-for-pound boxing champion Manny Pacquiao was embroiled in a controversy involving him and Krista Ranillo.  People admired her boldness on national TV, especially when she advised the rumored mistress (Krista) to think of her future (if she will continue to have an affair with a married man).    More than her ...

It’s still Christmas in January!

01.07.2012 by Leah //

We were at Serendra today and found the place still dolled up for Christmas! Just check out this pretty Christmas Tree made of lights: Greenbelt 5 has this exact Christmas Tree, which should not surprise us, since both establishments are owned by the Ayalas: These big snowflakes in acrylic plastic and illuminated by soft light are also very pretty: I ...

Much ado about Slogans…

01.07.2012 by Leah //

Couldn't help but be amused at the controversy (although mild) the new tourism slogan generated when it was launched (or rather "leaked") in social media yesterday. From the very unpopular "Pilipinas Kay Ganda" (sounds like Vice Ganda, eww)... which looks very much similar with Poland's country logo (in font and concept)... the new DOT team came up with this new ...

New Work, New Stress = Chocolate Fix

01.05.2012 by Leah //

Wow, only 4 days into my new position and I am feeling both preppy and tired already! You see, our office underwent a major re-organization last year and as a result, I was offered a new position by my boss, which I decided to take because I've been into a same job for 7 years and I think I'm ready to take on a much heavier and stressful environment hehe.   I decided to ...

My Christmas Wish List

12.24.2011 by Leah //

Sorry I took a break from blogging.   AJ and I went to tour Ilocos early this week as one of our Christmas gifts to ourselves hehe.    We enjoyed our trip so much that we plan not only to return to Ilocos but tour other parts of the Philippines as well (we prefer traveling and exploring locally than abroad, for now). As for the "other gifts", I know of some things that I ... READ MORE
