THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Colouring for Mindfulness

09.19.2015 by Leah //

I have to confess, the trend of adult coloring books was at first totally unappealing to me.  I mean, I have a lot on my plate already, how can I still find time for this?  Also, they're just 'coloring books' and yet they cost more than P500.00? Crazy, right? Since most bookstores have started carrying these adult coloring books (even occupying most of the display tables and ... READ MORE

A Rustic Modern Look for ‘The Bright Spot’

08.09.2015 by Leah //

A big shout out to those who expressed appreciation of my blog's new look.  It was actually a project I've listed for 2015 but kept putting off because I couldn't decide on the final details. For sure, I wanted less colors na for the blog.  Not that I didn't like the "Cath Kidston / tea party" look that defined The Bright Spot for the past 2 years (read about that makeover ... READ MORE

‘Spicy Mexican Chicken’

03.29.2015 by Leah //

This is what my 4-year-old nephew, "Chef Liam", called the dish he cooked for us last weekend, when I made a surprise visit to Cebu: He's into a lot of things these days, cooking included.  Nainggit ako sa cooking tools nya - complete set talaga!   My favorite part of our play time was the "Cooking Show with Liam", where I would play the "program host" while he is the ...

Pope Francis in Tacloban

01.17.2015 by Leah //

No storm could stop Pope Francis from visiting Tacloban today, which is the main purpose of his 5-day visit to the Philippines.  Like most Catholics here in Manila, I was glued to the TV to catch his message to the people of Tacloban, the most devastated part of the country in the aftermath typhoon Yolanda in November 2013. I anticipated his message to be very moving, but I ... READ MORE

New Year Wish for 2015

12.31.2014 by Leah //

As the year 2014 comes to a close today, I'd like to share with you this New Year quote I found online, which is from Michael Josephson, founder of the Josephson Institute of Ethics.  His words captured everything I aspire to be in 2015. He said: "Approach the New Year with... 2015 will be about embracing greater responsibilities and new challenges at my work, but ... READ MORE

DIY Gift Tags from Shopping Bags

12.28.2014 by Leah //

In case you didn't know, I have a penchant for keeping ribbons, shopping bags, paper bags and pretty gift wrapping papers so you can just imagine the stash I collected last Christmas.  I hate putting into waste reusable papers so I try to 'save' all that I can whenever I open gifts. (You can read about my past projects on re-used shopping and paper bags HERE and ... READ MORE

A Postcard Project

11.04.2014 by Leah //

A few months back, I chanced upon this blog post by the DiploWife about a small shop in Berlin selling pretty souvenir items and paper products.  She shared pictures of the beautiful Berlin postcards she acquired from her trip in that shop, all of which looked fantastically 'real' because of the 3D-like effect. The idea of a postcard challenge came about from this blog ... READ MORE

Introducing uberX: The Low-Cost Uber

10.08.2014 by Leah //

My usual 30 minutes ride home became 3 hours yesterday, no thanks to the ulan-baha that started at around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I took my usual uberX transpo going home, and I am very thankful that my driver (Kuya Teodoro) was alert the whole time we were battling traffic along Buendia, Taft Avenue, Vito Cruz and Zobel Roxas, where cars didn't move for almost an hour. ...

We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes an We were able to try the famous souffle pancakes and french toast of @grampancakesph without going out - thanks to @grabfoodph ! I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
