THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

How I Moved to a Self-Hosted WordPress Blog

03.15.2013 by Leah //

I have been meaning to write about my experience in moving my Wordpress-hosted blog to a self-hosted one, especially after I wrote about the Bright Spot's new look.  I think now is the best time to share it because I've been receiving inquiries on how I did it and if it's more convenient to just pay an expert to do it. Based on my experience, even if I have the money to ... READ MORE

I just joined ChurpChurp Philippines!

03.12.2013 by Leah //

I never thought I'll love social media as much as I do now.  Blogging has clearly opened me to the wonders and power of the following social media:  Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. There was a time that my facebook account was de-activated because I rarely check it.  But when I started The Bright Spot at Wordpress.com, I realized that I cannot just limit my followers to ...

Topaz Horizon and Me

02.25.2013 by Leah //

I can't remember anymore the exact year when I did start to read blogs but for sure, it was Topaz Horizon, alongside Daphne.ph and Chuvaness.com, which got me interested in reading blogs.  Soon I was looking forward to what Frances, Daphne and Chuvaness will write about and share with us readers.  Yes, I was hooked! Fast forward to 2011.   I knew early on that AJ and Frances ... READ MORE

Dear Prudence

Can't get this song outta my mind!

My ‘Anti-Valentine’ Gift

02.14.2013 by Leah //

Happy Hearts' Day, everyone! I always associate Valentine's Day with roses and chocolates, so you can imagine my happy, unexpected surprise when I received this 'anti-Valentine' gift from one of our senior officers at the office: It's a bag of sea salt!  Hahaha!  Something salty instead of sweet!  How novel can that be? Isn't that sweet?   =)   ... READ MORE

Jacobo the Heartbreak Kid

02.13.2013 by Leah //

This video is so cute - perfect for Valentine's Day! http://youtu.be/xvDOiFv6dac The video was shot at different SM Supermalls and being a frequent shopper there, me wonders how I would react if Jacobo singled me out and handed me a stem of rose.    I will probably smother him with kisses right there and then! Happy Hearts' Day, dear readers!   ... READ MORE

A Sumptuous Birthday!

02.11.2013 by Leah //

I celebrated my _ _th birthday last week in a very quiet but food-filled way.    It fell on a weekday and I took the day off from work so I can relax, hear mass and spend a quiet dinner with my family (which turned out to be not-so-quiet!).    I chose the newly-opened Watami at Glorietta 5 for my birthday dinner because it's new and  for a fully serviced Japanese restaurant, ...

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

02.09.2013 by Leah //

Kung Hei Fat Choi! It's the eve of the Chinese New Year and in a few hours we'll be welcoming the Year of the Snake!   It's my year so let's toast to that! Some two weeks ago, AJ and I were at Greenhills with Frances and Vince (where we found our Union Jack storage chest) and we passed by our suking feng shui store, Bensani, to ask about the lucky elements for this year ...
