THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Cath Kidston (finally) opens in Manila!

12.06.2014 by Leah //

I may not be present at the opening of the first Cath Kidston store in Manila yesterday (k'se hindi naman ako invited, hehe!), but I made sure to check it out first thing today when it opens to the public.  I'm glad that AJ and I were there early; I was able to roam freely around the store and get a closer look at the merchandise (and take pictures too). Here's my #ootd ... READ MORE

Food Post: Nolita @ Bonifacio High Street

07.19.2014 by Leah //

Random searching at Zomato Philippines led me to Nolita, a gourmet pizza place located at Bonifacio High Street.  The words "New York-style pizza" immediately caught my attention, because that means their pizzas must be are large and thin and crispy at the base. What we were not prepared for was the price.  Mahal sya ha! But the pizzas look inviting so gave them a ... READ MORE

Weekend Shopping + Food Trip

10.06.2013 by Leah //

If you're following me at Instagram (I am @dbrightspot there), then you've probably observed how sipag I was in updating it since yesterday.  That's because I was able to visit my favorite shopping places this weekend and I went home very happy with my loot! This time around, I didn't buy much for myself.  I shopped mostly for Christmas gifts.  My goal is to finish 80% of ... READ MORE

The Good Stuff #2

So here ... READ MORE

An Illuminated Christmas

12.09.2012 by Leah //

I love the way our malls and establishments are lit up during Christmas season.  And it's not only the Christmas trees that are illuminated but the garlands, wreathes and flat sculptures as well.  In that way, even the simplest decors become astonishing with the help of Christmas lights. Take for example the Christmas decors at Rockwell Powerplant Mall in Makati.  They ... READ MORE

It’s still Christmas in January!

01.07.2012 by Leah //

We were at Serendra today and found the place still dolled up for Christmas! Just check out this pretty Christmas Tree made of lights: Greenbelt 5 has this exact Christmas Tree, which should not surprise us, since both establishments are owned by the Ayalas: These big snowflakes in acrylic plastic and illuminated by soft light are also very pretty: I ...

When at Cafe Mary Grace…

08.04.2011 by Leah //

Don't just order for their popular ensaymadas and cheese rolls... Instead, indulge in their very yummy chicken caesar salad... ...and classic carbonara, which is simply the best! These little notes placed below the glass top of the dining tables are meant to be read. And these books are meant for reading too, so get one and enjoy it with your ... READ MORE
