We found this new shop at SM Aura selling vinegar, oils, spirits and wines in personalized bottles. It's called Vom Fass and to those who are not familiar with it (like me, at first), Vom Fass originated from Germany where it pioneered the trend of selling spirits, wines and oils from the cask. They are packaged in attractive bottles, making them ideal as gifts and lovely ... READ MORE
Nescafe Cappuccino Coffee Mix now available!
Having spent our weekend in the land in Amadeo coffee, it sure was a delight for me to be welcomed home with this gift from Nescafe (and Nuffnang Philippines): Sakto rin because I think I drank too much black coffee while in Tagaytay, and my body is craving for a much "lighter" coffee drink but still with the aroma and flavor of freshly brewed coffee. Cappuccino has ... READ MORE
ZAP Crawl @ Greenhills
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 ... READ MORE
More Happy Times @ Christmas 2013

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 ...

I had so much fun with our DIY tea party at home last year - the preparations and all - so I promised myself I'll do another small party this year. My good friend (and also my kumare), Chel, suggested that we hold an Ice Cream Party at home. That was some months ago but we were able to finalize the date only last July during our trip to Gourmet Farms. The ice cream party was ... READ MORE
Our New Coffee Fix
Ever since we bought this Piccolo Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine (on sale at P2,500 only), we've been having café-style coffee almost every night. We still love our Starbucks Via, Batangas barako and Vietnamese drip coffee, of course, but right now this is our favorite =) My favorite flavor so far is the Lungo, which literally means "long coffee". Caffè Lungo is a ... READ MORE
Getting back into the groove
How's your weekend? Mine was full of catching up - with housework, that is hehe! I did a major housecleaning yesterday and it felt really good - moving around like I'm having a workout =) Which reminds me, I am starting to gain weight already (what with the many food try-out invitations I've been getting!) so I have to seriously start exercising again to burn those ...

Happy Hour Munchies
Munchies (noun, plural of munchie). A snack or small item of food. A sudden strong desire for food. Do you love munchies? Between me and AJ, he is the one who loves munchies and he always bring some to work to eat during his break time. I, on the other hand, loves snacking during weekends at home while watching movies. That means our pantry cabinet and ... READ MORE
