THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Dealing with a Preschooler, Discovering a Local Favorite and Shopping Organic Goodies (all in one weekend!)

08.13.2016 by Leah //

I was in Cebu last June to visit my family there and to spend quality time with my nephew Liam, who is now 5. What I thought would be a weekend of "catching up" activities with him turned out to be full of drama because we argued (a lot!) while playing games!  He is naturally competitive, and so am I!  Haha! We are still trying to resolve our 'little' conflict. I have ... READ MORE

Holiday Highlights {2015}

12.30.2015 by Leah //

For the first time in many years, I started my Christmas preparations late.  As in really late.  If not for our week-long break due to the APEC summit held in Manila last November, I wouldn't be able to start wrapping gifts. Swamped with work and project deadlines, I skipped decorating our apartment for Christmas.  I thought I'll have to forego Christmas shopping as ... READ MORE

No-Bake Summer Dessert Recipes with Lemon Square

05.08.2015 by Leah //

The unforgiving summer heat has made it difficult for AJ to resume his baking experiments, which is sad because I do like to munch on his chocolate or butter cake after dinner to cap my evening.   And now that we are hitting 37-38 degrees Celsius this summer, I need cold sweets too + lots of water to keep my body from collapsing from the terrible heat. With AJ’s baking ... READ MORE

The Good Stuff #7

01.10.2015 by Leah //

I'm still hung up for the holidays, and who isn't?  The chilly January weather makes me crave for coffee and sweet dessert (aside from sleep) any time of the day! Let me share with you some of the good stuff I discovered while on a 2-week Christmas break last year.  I can't believe I had so much sweets(!), but all were in eaten in moderation naman  =) ...

#MerryCremas2014 with Alaska Crema

12.23.2014 by Leah //

Like in the past years, I shopped for Christmas gifts as early as September, and wrapped everything by November (well, almost!) so that when December kicked in, I only have to busy myself filling our weekend calendars with get-togethers, while experimenting in the kitchen for new dishes to serve during our family’s Christmas and New Year celebrations. So when Alaska invited ... READ MORE

Food Post: Le Miel Cafe

12.05.2014 by Leah //

Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table. ~William Powell So true.  The last stop of our recent food trip at Greenfield District was the one I remembered the most - because of the desserts! After having consecutive lunches at Habib Persian Cuisine and Brown's ... READ MORE

Food Post: Brown’s Gourmet Cafe

11.25.2014 by Leah //

Celebration lunch at Brown's Gourmet Cafe. AJ and I were invited to try out selected food establishments at The Portal and The Hub, two (2) of newest dining/retail zones to open at Greenfield District. I've not checked out this place until last Saturday, so imagine my surprise when a saw a new city brimming with excitement and lots of potential! The Portal is a ... READ MORE

The Good Stuff #6

10.22.2014 by Leah //

It's been a while since I last wrote about food, and it's not because I have ran out of food discoveries to share.  I guess I got too comfortable instagramming my food and sharing it real time, instead of making an effort to write about it in the blog. And because I'm not creative at all when it comes to captioning my Instagram photos, I would leave out a lot of details that ... READ MORE

I used to love taking pics of food for #foodstagram but now that everything's in takeout boxes, nakakatamad mag-food styling hehe! Anyway, whether it's in fancy plate or takeout box - the food should still taste good. And this one definitely did not disappoint! The souffle pancakes were oh so good, and despite traveling in a box were really soft up to the last bite. Yumyum! #doitforthegram

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
