THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

A Surprise Christmas Gift from Japan

12.26.2011 by Leah //

I am a big, big fan of Hello Kitty and every year I get a Hello Kitty item as Christmas gift - coin purses, mugs, face towel and even a car bobble head with Hello Kitty's head moving sideways (this freaks me out, though). But this year, I got really special Hello Kitty gifts that came all the way from Japan!  W@Wie couple Marjorie and Atsushi of On Chocolate Hill gave me ... READ MORE

Christmas Loot Bags

12.18.2011 by Leah //

Tomorrow is our office's children's party, a yearly event we organize every December for the kids.   I am in charge of the games and I am already excited to see them get challenged with what I've prepared haha. I am also done preparing my Christmas loot bags.  For weeks I've been racking my brain on what to give them kids.   It's so difficult to think of a uniform gift for ... READ MORE

Sweet Gifts for Christmas

12.09.2011 by Leah //

Christmas is that time of the year where we receive the most number of C's - cookies, cakes, chocolates and candies.   All sweet food!  And we love receiving them, right? Unfortunately for me, I am not a sweet-tooth person but I do crave for one once in a while.    On the other hand, AJ loves sweets.   But I do appreciate good dessert food (as long as it's not sugary sweet) ...

Christmas at Rockwell Powerplant

12.05.2011 by Leah //

Rockwell Powerplant is probably the only mall in Manila which stick to the same Christmas decors every year.   Red and sparkling gold are always the color themes of their decors, and I never tire of seeing them year after year.   It has become a tradition, and something that I look forward to. These hanging decors are visible from each floor of Rockwell ... READ MORE

Ayala Triangle’s Lights and Sounds Show

12.04.2011 by Leah //

We were supposed to go to Serendra after running errands at Glorietta yesterday, but because of the horrendous traffic at McKinley Road, we turned back to Ayala Avenue and went to check the much-talked about Lights and Sounds Show at the Ayala Triangle park instead. And boy, what a sight it was!  No wonder it's always packed with people every night.    The lights (I think ... READ MORE

Coca-Cola’s Happiness Project

12.02.2011 by Leah //

This very touching video made me cry.   I find it commendable of Coca-Cola to be bringing home our kababayans who haven't spent Christmas at home for a very long time. Watch it and share. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_9fQEqZCWs&w=640&h=480] ... READ MORE

Christmas Gifts

11.30.2011 by Leah //

Finally, I'm done wrapping our gifts today!   I didn't realize they're so plenty they've occupied the whole of AJ's accent chair already hehe! I love the gift bags we got at S&R.   Only P69.75 each for these imported gift bags that are made of thick paper in matte finish, and with free gift tags.   I used them to wrap my gifts to my inaanaks (godchildren). Our ... READ MORE
