THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Topaz Horizon and Me

02.25.2013 by Leah //

I can't remember anymore the exact year when I did start to read blogs but for sure, it was Topaz Horizon, alongside Daphne.ph and Chuvaness.com, which got me interested in reading blogs.  Soon I was looking forward to what Frances, Daphne and Chuvaness will write about and share with us readers.  Yes, I was hooked! Fast forward to 2011.   I knew early on that AJ and Frances ... READ MORE

DIY Pad Thai

02.21.2013 by Leah //

We love Pad Thai!  Those who have been reading my blog for a time would know that because I've featured this dish a number of times already - but never as something I've made myself hehe! I was finally able to make one last weekend, thanks to this ready-made Pad Thai paste (Kanokwan brand) and rice noodles that I found at the Landmark Supermarket. I just followed the ... READ MORE

Food Post: Alba Restaurante Español

02.18.2013 by Leah //

Thanks to Deal Grocer's amazing coupon deals, I was able to get buffet lunch passes for AJ and me at Alba Restaurante Español in Polaris Street, Makati City for half of its original price! What I immediately noticed when we stepped inside was its ambiance which evoked an old world Spanish charm: Alba Restaurante Español  (or Alba's Restaurant, its English ... READ MORE

Birthday High: Tea Time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique

02.15.2013 by Leah //

One of my birthday wishes for this year is to finally experience tea time at TWG Tea Salon and Boutique in Greenbelt 5.    And I got my birthday wish last Saturday when AJ and I were able to score seats for us and my college close pal - and now AJ's Starwars buddy - Pia. We took up Pia's suggestion to try 5 tea varieties - a mix of black, green and fruit teas - and started ... READ MORE

Sweet Birthday Gifts

02.13.2013 by Leah //

It's been a week since my birthday and I am still feeling high over the (almost) week-long celebration I had!    Not to mention the sweet gifts I got from my family and friends =) From AJ, I got this FitFlop pair in perfect pewter color.  I've been eyeing this pair for some time and I'm so happy I now have it! I prefer these slide Fitflop sandals over thongs.   It's ... READ MORE

Not your usual Ham & Cheese Sandwich

01.25.2013 by Leah //

While making breakfast last weekend, I found some left-over mozzarella cheese at our freezer (yes, I keep my cheeses there because they're easier to grate when frozen) and with the remaining slices of black pepper ham  bought from Earle's Delicatessen, I made these open-faced ham and cheese sandwiches using wheat rolls as base. The full-flavored mozzarella cheese gave ... READ MORE

Holiday Fruitcake

01.18.2013 by Leah //

It's so hard to find a really good fruitcake nowadays.   Those that I've tried tasted more like sponge cake than fruitcake.   So whenever I would crave for one, I'd buy a slice of rum cake from Figaro.  For me, their rum cake is the next best thing to a fruitcake.  It has a sweet and intoxicating taste, exactly the way I want my fruitcake to be.  I also want it to be overloaded ...

Celebrating Christmas 2012 & New Year 2013

01.07.2013 by Leah //

We celebrated Christmas and welcomed New Year at our home.  Compared with last year,  this year's celebration was more upbeat - with AJ and I entertaining friends over at our apartment and then there's my little nephew, Liam, who also spent the holidays here in the Metro (much to the delight of my parents!). To prepare for Liam's coming, my dad re-decorated my old room and ... READ MORE
