THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Purple Oven at Sacred Heart

07.30.2011 by Leah //

I'll let you in a secret: Starbucks get their pastries from Purple Oven.  And the good thing is, Purple Oven just opened shop across the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, hence, the name Purple Oven at Sacred Heart. I love this little dine-in area where you can try their freshly-baked products with a cup of warm coffee: The popular Banoffee Pie at Starbucks is ... READ MORE

School of Satchel (SOS)

07.29.2011 by Leah //

It looks like I still can't get enough of my lust for satchel bags! I just saw this pretty and affordable satchel bag available thru online ordering at Heima: It's made by the School of Satchel (SOS).  How come I haven't heard of them before??    Now I can realize my dream of owning a Cambridge-like Satchel Bag without putting a big dent in my wallet. This 13" satchel / ... READ MORE

Opening of Sophie’s Mom Bakery & Confectionary

07.27.2011 by Leah //

We definitely did not miss the official opening of Sophie's Mom Bakery and Confectionary last Saturday, after having been to their store during its soft opening phase. As expected, there were more pastries to drool from and it's the first time I've seen the cupcakes which are all tempting to try! This is me in my typical weekend get-up:  Columbia shirt, Columbia capri ... READ MORE

German + Rain

07.25.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I was able to catch the last 2 days of Cinemalaya 7 and we wanted very much to watch "Isda (Fable of the Fish)" but when we got to Greenbelt 3 last Saturday, all seats were taken for the 6:30 p.m. screening. We ended up watching Japan's entry to the festival: "German + Rain" which was originally released in 2007: The movie was less than an 1-hour long, and it's ... READ MORE

Sunlife Maxilink Prime

07.23.2011 by Leah //

I invest a lot in insurance (aside from jewelry, that is).   It's a form of "forced saving" for me and I like it that insurance products nowadays have more "living" than "death" benefits.   This means that there are benefits you can enjoy while you are living, unlike traditional insurance products before where only your beneficiaries will benefit from it. Just recently I ... READ MORE

Sad and worried…

07.23.2011 by Leah //

Should I worry about not having received any wedding pictures from my other photographers?   Although Nat has already promised to send the raw pictures by post, I haven't received any from Von Lazaro yet, our back-up photographer.  I am expecting more from him since he was the only one paid for his services.   The rest took our photos pro bono, as a ...

Pearl Earrings for Sale

07.21.2011 by Leah //

I recently purchased these pink-champagne south sea pearls from my sis-in-law: They're from Hongkong.   I was instantly mesmerized by their perfect luster and although they're not perfectly round, they have the same size (11mm) and would make a good stud pearl earrings. Now you all know about my south sea pearls collection.   This is a welcome addition indeed, as ... READ MORE
