THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Hotel Villa Rosa

09.08.2014 by Leah //

It was my sis-in-law Juvvy who 'discovered' Hotel Villa Rosa, a beautiful mansion located in Alcoy, Cebu that functions as a boutique hotel. The municipality of Alcoy, Cebu is known for its numerous dive sites and proximity to the town of Oslob - the home of the famous whale sharks of Cebu (locally called butandings).  From Oslob, you can hire a boat to take you ...

A Cebu Weekend Getaway

09.05.2014 by Leah //

How I wish my weekends will always look like this: Waking up at the sight of a calm and peaceful ocean. Enjoying a morning dip at the pool. Swimming with whale sharks until lunch. Enjoying a laid back afternoon at a mansion that you can rent per day.   Non-stop snacking on local biscuits. Spending quality time with my family (especially ... READ MORE

A Birthday Celebration at The Ranch Resort and Farm

01.07.2014 by Leah //

My sister-in-law Juvvy, of the Mommy Juvs blog, finally wrote about my nephew's 3rd birthday celebration last year (read her kwento here).  This reminded me that I have some photos from that trip as well which I haven't shared with you yet. Here goes my very belated post about my trip to Cebu in October last year: Because Liam loves swimming pools and animals, his parents ... READ MORE

Food Post: Spice Fusion

10.23.2013 by Leah //

I took a leave from work last Friday and flew to Cebu for the celebration my nephew's 3rd birthday.  The timing couldn't have been more perfect because I so wanted to check on him (Liam) after a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit Bohol and Cebu last October 15, 2013. Everything went well during my visit there with my parents (AJ was left behind again because he has work), except ... READ MORE

Food Post: 10 Dove Street

09.12.2013 by Leah //

I first read about 10 Dove Street from one of my favorite bloggers, Ms. Aileen of Travel.Food.Finds.  She takes really amazing photos, and I bet you too will drool over her yummy pictures of the cakes she and her friend had when they visited this quaint little café nestled inside a residential subdivision in Cebu (read her blog post here). Yes, the quaint little café is ... READ MORE

Food Post: Tymad Bistro (in Cebu)

09.07.2013 by Leah //

On a beautiful Saturday last week, my brother Dino and sis-in-law Juvvy treated me to breakfast at Tymad Bistro, which is just a walking distance from their home. What is 'Tymad'?  Tymad means “good house” or “good restaurant.” The word is actually from a Celtic language that originated from Brittany in France, where crepes came from. (source) I regretted being in ... READ MORE

Bonding with the Fam Bam in Cebu

09.01.2013 by Leah //

I just spent 3 wonderful days in Cebu for some R&R, bonding time with my parents and brother's family (and it was his birthday last Thursday), and to attend Liam's school program (my first)! The last time I saw Liam was in April.  Although I keep tab of all his developments (thanks to Facebook and emails), I miss bonding (i.e. playing) with him already so when my mom ... READ MORE

Choco Mangga

04.30.2013 by Leah //

We got this as pasalubong from Dino and Juvvy when they were here last month to spend the Holy Week with us and my parents: I learned from Juvvy that this is the latest craze in Cebu - dried mangoes dipped in chocolate!  I thought all along that it was premium Belgian chocolate because it tasted like one, until Juvvy told me otherwise hehe! But I love it, I really ... READ MORE
