THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

All About You at EverydayMe.Com.Ph

09.30.2014 by Leah // Leave a Comment

I never thought I'll be a fan of e-zines (referring to small magazines and newsletters distributed online) until my cousin introduced me to the Flipboard app.  Since then, I've downloaded and bookmarked in both my mobile phone and laptop the following news magazines:  Rappler, BBC News and Time Magazine. Whereas my choices for news magazines are wide and varied, I find that ... READ MORE

Elegance is Timeless with American Standard’s Luxe and Style Collection

07.25.2014 by Leah // 2 Comments

I was invited by American Standard to the Luxe and Style Blogger Engagement last Saturday (July 19) and thanks to my angels - Ross and Mimi - I did not only make it to the event, but I had a super great time too! I am not new to the American Standard brand of toilet bowls and wash basin (or 'water closet', as they are collectively called) because I have personally ... READ MORE

IKEA Frosta Stools

10.01.2013 by Leah // 6 Comments

I have a long-standing crush on this IKEA Frosta Stool. I originally wanted these for our dining chairs. But I couldn't find any IKEA furniture at the malls, so we bought a 4-seater dining set at Mandaue Foam instead.   No regrets there.  I love its simple design and dark wood finish.  However, that did not stop me from lusting after these Frosta stools! Thankfully I ... READ MORE

Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic Style

04.09.2013 by Leah // 4 Comments

I am a big fan of Rachel Ashwell's Shabby Chic Couture and if only we're not living in the city where dust is everywhere, I'd most likely have painted all walls in our apartment white and buy distressed furniture for a complete shabby chic look. That aside, I love looking at and reading about her shabby chic inspirations which she documented well in her books - that's 7 ... READ MORE

Our Union Jack Storage Chest

02.05.2013 by Leah // 12 Comments

Hello folks!   How are you liking my new blog design?   I'm so excited to tell you all about it - the design process (thanks to my angel, Patricia of Fancy Girl Designs), the joy (and stress!) of moving to a self-hosted blog (with tips to Wordpress users) and my plans for The Bright Spot. In the meantime, please indulge me while I show off our fabulous find at Greenhills 2 ... READ MORE

Wallflowers

01.24.2013 by Leah // 3 Comments

Our first home project in 2013:  wall art! I've been wanting to spice up the walls in our living room which is painted in pale yellow.  But I don't know exactly what I want to put there.  All I know is that I don't want them adorned with mirrors and picture frames.  I'm just not into those.   I want funky wall decors. And what could be more funky that these 3D wall decor ... READ MORE

Cleaning an Electric Kettle

05.01.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

Today is Labor Day and it's a regular holiday here in the Philippines.  That means no work, and lots of time for house work and blogging!   I made use of that free day wisely and was able to accomplish so many things:  cooking our lunch, updating my blog, organizing my office emails (opps, that's work but I decided to do it while I still have free time) and finally cleaning our ...

Another Lampshade Make Over

02.18.2012 by Leah // 2 Comments

I think our little lamp is already due for another make-over, whaddya think? I know my first try at a DIY lampshade wasn't 100% successful, as you could see from the weird linings at the top and bottom.   While the cloth was colorful and the print beautiful, it needs to blend with the over-all color motif of our apartment which is mainly in shades of brown and light ...

#throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I t #throwback to Easter 2019 when @ajdeleon77 and I took mommy and daddy to a double date at Rockwell Powerplant. Today is daddy's 11th month in heaven 💜 The coming weeks are sure going be tough for me because the painful memories from last year will start coming back as we approach his 1st death anniversary. I miss our family bonding time whether in Cebu or Makati, at the mall or simply at home. The over-extended quarantine has made it very difficult for us create new memories as a family (outside videocalls, that is). But I know that with God's grace we will overcome. 🙏

I thought the Hawaiian Green Ti plants I got some I thought the Hawaiian Green Ti plants I got some months ago (almost for free) have died because I may have oversoaked them in water while waiting for their loam soil to arrive. More than half of the leaves dried up.  But look, new buds have started to say 'Hi' just last week 🤗 Need talaga ng patience kapag #plantita ka. 😁
