THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Sunday Trip at Tagaytay (Part 1)

09.13.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I were at Tagaytay City last Sunday to attend a birthday party (more on this in my future post).   While there, we took the opportunity to do some little sight-seeing and window shopping! We went to see the Taal Volcano (thank God, it's not acting up again) before heading up to the birthday party and AJ took this photo of me outside Starbucks' balcony area: The ... READ MORE

A Christmas Party in September

09.12.2011 by Leah //

My colleagues at the office decided to celebrate our Christmas Party very early because of the impending office re-org that will see us being transferred to different units.   It became our farewell party as well. The party was held at my boss' house (or should I say, mansion?) somewhere in Quezon City.  It was a sight to behold!   The Christmas lights adorning his house ... READ MORE

Rediscovering Rufo’s Tapa

09.11.2011 by Leah //

The original Rufo's Tapa restaurant along Kalayaan Avenue in Makati City:    (source: Rufo's Tapa website) 27 years later, the restaurant is still there, but it looks modern now with the cemented structure, more open space and bigger logo: The restaurant now has an air-conditioned / closed area, if you don't want to be eating with smokers: Their dining ...

Spotted: CLN’s Celine-like Luggage Tote

09.10.2011 by Leah //

The real Celine Luggage Tote in various colors and textures (photos from jakandjil.com): CLN's version of the bag that I spied today: By the way, CLN is the short name of our local brand CELINE which produces and sells shoes, bags and clothes. Now, I can't believe they copied this bag from the original CELINE brand based in France.      It's already ... READ MORE

Loving my Longchamp Le Pliage Bag! (and how to spot a fake one)

09.10.2011 by Leah //

I received the Longchamp Le Pliage bag I won at eBay the same day I got our Cath Kidston mug.   But I got busy towards the end of this week so I'm able to share my latest eBay find only now. Here's my Longchamp Le Pliage medium bag with short handles, in a very-pleasing-to-the-eyes color:  peacock blue. It took me a while to buy a Longchamp bag because of the many fake ... READ MORE

Feeling Christmas

09.07.2011 by Leah //

The "ber" months are here!   And I am already looking forward to decorating our apartment (I promised myself I won't go overboard).    Red and gold are the color palettes I'm currently working with (but this could still change, depending on my mood hehe). One thing for sure, we won't be having a Christmas tree.   I just don't think it's practical to buy one, given our ... READ MORE

Our Cath Kidston Crush Mugs are here!

09.06.2011 by Leah //

They arrived today, and they're as lovely as I imagined them to be. I got them all from eBay.  I actually bidded for 3 mugs but ended up getting all 4!!! Perfect!!! Thank you so much, Ellen, and don't please forget me when you have new Cath Kidston items on hand again  =) Can't wait to use the mugs for an afternoon coffee or tea with our friends!   ...

Western-Style Invitations

09.05.2011 by Leah //

I am done printing Liam's birthday invitations, all 90 of them.   Yey!   But for weeks I've been thinking on how to prettify the catalogue envelopes I bought for these invites.   I chose catalogue envelopes because I want them to be in brown, just right for Liam's cowboy-themed birthday celebration. Last weekend, as I was cleaning our "work room" - I saw my craft puncher in ... READ MORE
