THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Living with little, creepy insects

06.29.2011 by Leah //

I fear cockroaches.   I shriek and run everytime I see one. So last night, alone at home (AJ works on a night shift), just as I was about to prepare myself to bed, I saw this big cockroach walking along our kitchen cabinet.   I shrieked of course, and realizing that I'm alone and have no one turn to, ...

Starting on our book collection

06.28.2011 by Leah //

AJ and I love to read books.   It is our common denominator.   His interests and mine were not exactly the same but we somehow influenced each other with each other's preferences.   I remember when we were still in the getting-to-know you stage he gifted me with the book "See No Evil: The True Story of a Ground Soldier in the CIA's War on Terrorism" by Robert Baer.    This was ...

From Japan Home

06.27.2011 by Leah //

We buy most of our plastic organizers and containers from Japan Home because of their durability, functionality and price (all items are priced at P88, unless otherwise indicated).We recently bought this multi-purpose storage box to store our bread and other snacks in:I looked closely at the front label and it says:  "Rangement Cabinet shelf":A case of ...

Working from Home

06.24.2011 by Leah //

Because of the heavy rains last night, the roads going to my office in Pasay were still flooded as of early morning today.   As a result, I was not able to report. But since I have two major reports to submit today, I was forced to work at home.  I have just submitted the 2nd report through email and I came to the realization that working at home is more ...

Our Church: St. John Bosco Parish

06.23.2011 by Leah //

My younger brother got married at St. John Bosco Parish in Makati City last April 2009.   His was a solemn wedding and the church was really nice so I told AJ  that I want us to get married in that church too.  And oh, I just can't forget their altar: it was structurally impressive and really lights me up. Fast forward to 2010, the first wedding detail we booked was the ... READ MORE

Supplier’s Review: Hotel Celeste

06.22.2011 by Leah //

Booking Hotel Celeste was one of the happy decisions we made during our wedding.   The booking process itself was stress-free (thanks to Ms. Macky, our reservations officer) and it was done online.  We got really good price with direct booking (it's much cheaper than booking through Agoda or any other online ticketing agency) and I got my dream room to boot!Look ...

A book about a storm…

06.21.2011 by Leah //

It's been raining hard since last Saturday, no thanks to typhoon "Egay" which dumped rains in the Metro until yesterday afternoon. And just when I thought the weather will clear up today because the storm is supposed to have left the country, another episode of strong winds and afternoon showers greeted me on our way home.    So I think I will sleep half-soundly tonight if ...

Mccormick’s Spanish Chicken Skillet

06.20.2011 by Leah //

Last night, AJ and I cooked our first dinner at home.  It's the first meal we cooked together and for someone who hasn't cooked in ages, the experience was surprisingly fun and fulfilling.  I am finally turning into a domesticated goddess hehe!We made Mccormick's Spanish Chicken Fillet, because we saw this spices set at Rustan's Supermarket and thought that it's ...
