THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Binondo Chinatown Museum

07.12.2021 by Leah //

The last museum visit we had was 2 years ago at the newly-opened Chinatown Museum inside Lucky Chinatown Mall.  We just got back from the UK and was shopping at the mall when we saw the escalator leading to the museum. In this museum one will learn (or, in our case, re-learn) the history of Binondo and of our Filipino-Chinese ancestors in a very modern way - through ... READ MORE

Brighten up your day with Cath Kidston

02.28.2014 by Leah //

Brighten Up print from Cath Kidston's spring collection for 2014.  It celebrates the iconic British seaside town of Brighton, which I know mainly because I've read about its famous chain pier - the Brighton Palace Pier and Theater - from a travel guidebook on UK before.  One of the earliest amusement centers constructed in the UK (it opened in 1823), it's been said that it ...

More Happy Times @ Christmas 2013

01.10.2014 by Leah //

I've just finished doing back-up of my photos from last year's Christmas, and thought of rounding up some photos to summarize everything else that kept me busy during the holidays.  It's not just the holiday feast (which I wrote about here) that made it merry, but the precious time I spent with my  family, good friends and lovable inaanaks!   Here are some more snippets ...

The Art Nook at Ka Lui

11.08.2013 by Leah //

How's everyone today?  I hope you are all safe and nicely tucked at home.   Our office decided to suspend work after lunch, to allow everyone not just to get to their homes safely, but for them to be able to monitor the status of their families and relatives living in the provinces hit by island-hopping super typhoon Yolanda. And because all I've been seeing outside is a ... READ MORE

Shopping Theraphy + Dim Sum Break

08.16.2013 by Leah //

I noticed that my posts on Divisoria shopping, craft stamps and food are getting the most number of hits in my blog, so today's post is going to be all about that!   =) If you've been following me at Instagram (@dbrightspot), you'd know where I was last Saturday.  Yes, I was at my happy place again - 168 Mall haha!  I went with my cousin, Mae Anne, who's become my Divi ...

A Worry Free Afternoon at Nestlé Acti-V Go Lounge

07.09.2013 by Leah //

What a stressful day I had today at the office, and it's only Tuesday! July is actually the busiest month at work because: It is the month where mid-year performance reports are due for submission to the management; July also signals the start of strategic planning preparations (read: whole day meetings, ack!); and, It is also the month where we start preparing our ...

James Nares x Coach

01.30.2013 by Leah //

I haven't done a blog post on bags for a while.  Perhaps I've reach my saturation point so I just stopped looking. But then I saw this beautiful James Nares x Coach Tote Bag ($798.00) in the arms of my super-friend from college, Pia, during our December reunion and it was love at first sight (again!) for me. James Nares is a New York-based artist known for his unique ... READ MORE

‘The Filipino Spirit is Waterproof’

08.09.2012 by Leah //

These are just some of the artworks that have been making rounds at Facebook.  I soon learned that Ayala Museum called on artists and graphic designers to submit their works inspired by this encouraging mantra that gives homage to our bayanihan (camaraderie) spirit: "The Filipino spirit is waterproof". Check out more of these inspiring artworks at ... READ MORE

Our first summit event under the new normal. It wa Our first summit event under the new normal. It was so nice to finally see everyone face to face and have uninterrupted discussions that lasted past 8pm! I get to enjoy free coffee the whole day too. ☕️☕️☕️ Two things I find cute though: everyone now carries a disinfectant spray or alcohol (in every shape and brand), and wears a lanyard for their face mask 😄  #NCRFSDSummit
