It's high time I update this list!  There's been a lot of food discoveries these past months and I'm excited to share them all with you. Without further ado, here's list #5 and it's all about FOOD! New Zealand Natural Premium Ice Cream (at Glorietta).  What's not to love about this ice cream? It has no artificial flavoring and coloring.   It comes in a wide variety of ... READ MORE

A Photobook {Give Away}!

03.19.2014 by Leah //

I was on a 'spring cleaning' mode last weekend, but instead of cleaning cabinets and storage boxes, I cleaned my computer files and personal emails at home.  As a result, I was able to free up a big chunk of space in both my PC and email storage space. Among the already forgotten emails that I found is this voucher I bought from Photobook Philippines way back in 2010, for an ... READ MORE

Uber Manila: Everyone’s Private Driver

03.17.2014 by Leah //

For some months now, I've been trying to install the GrabTaxi app in my Xperia smartphone but the installation process would always conk out in the middle that I never got to finish it. This taxi booking app is supposed to be the answer to my katamaran to commute to and from work through public transport (i.e. PUJs).  You see, I don't drive and I don't want to learn how to.  ...

Cooking with Terra Cota Garlic Roaster

03.15.2014 by Leah //

I LOVE garlic.  That's why adobo and salpicao are two (2) of my favorite dishes - the more garlic are put in them, the more delicious they become. So when Ms. Ellen (of The Pseudoshrink) asked if I wanted buy a Terra Cota Garlic Roaster that she is selling, I said yes right away.  I have always wanted to try at home the Aglio e Olio Spaghetti recipe that I order at Italian ...

Something amazing happened to me and AJ last Saturday: we got ZAPped! That is, we found ourselves "zapped" at instantaneous events with our fellow bloggers on that memorable Saturday evening, I'm talking about the ZAP Crawl: Greenhills merchant tour that The Bright Spot got invited to.  Sponsored by ZAP Philippines, selected lifestyle and food bloggers were taken around ...

03.09.2014 by Leah //

Note:  This is the continuation of my post about life insurance (read the first installment HERE), as part of my personal advocacy to promote awareness in investing for your future.   ******************************** Just a week ago, I was sorting out the bills and receipts for the different insurance plans AJ and I have, and I realized that the aggregate amount of insurance ...

Food Post: Fariñas Ilocos Empanada

03.07.2014 by Leah //

The Collective @ Makati is really full of gastronomic wonders!  It was here where I discovered the hottest chicken wings (at Wingman) and honey coffee flavored vegetarian ice cream (at Ritual). Lately, our visits to The Collective are triggered by this merienda craving for Ilocos empanadas. And these are not your ordinary Ilocos empanadas, mind.  The restaurant ... READ MORE

A Mid-Week Must Have: Coral Jewelry

03.05.2014 by Leah //

A good friend of mine gifted me with these dark blue carved rose coral earrings and pendant set on my birthday last month: I love the wonderful pop of color here (even though it's in dark blue) and the simple but intricate-looking gold leaves setting. Together, they give a vintage flair to this flower jewelry. My favorite piece is the pendant.  The gold leaves are ... READ MORE
