Thank you Aggie for tagging me! I had fun (and lots of realizations) after filling out this survey. Sobrang late ko nga lang natapos (2016 na!) but I think it's not too late to share this. ************************************* What did you do in 2015 that you’d never done before? Swim with sea turtles at Apo Island in Dumaguete! Did you keep your new year’s ... READ MORE
Movies and Gemstones in my Mind
The recently concluded Star Magic Ball inspired me to collaborate with my Bulacan-based jeweler for the design and gemstone choices of these pretty and eye-catching earrings. And because it's a showbiz event which inspired the creation of these earrings, I decided to name each pair after the film which came to mind after I saw the actual pieces. Pretty in Baby Pink and ... 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
Lazy Saturday, Busy Sunday
I had a lazy Saturday yesterday. So much so that I did not get out of the apartment the whole day!

Dear Prudence
Can't get this song outta my mind! The video clip is from the the movie "Across the Universe" which we watched in DVD last weekend.

I actually missed out on this when it was shown in 2007 but ... READ MORE
Are you ready for the Phantom?
About 2 months ago I happily bought a dvd copy of The Phantom of the Opera - that 2004 movie adaption that starred the young Gerard Butler as the Phantom and Emma Rossum as Christine. I haven't seen the actual musicale yet so this is the closest I could get to hearing its famous songs ("All I Ask of You" and "Music of the Night") and see in moving pictures the haunting love ...

The Descendants
I have this affinity for film adaptions. It doesn't necessarily have to be based on the books I have read, but if a book or novel is made into a film, that for me is a sign that the story must be really good. After watching "The Help" without reading the book and liking it so much, I've been looking forward to watching another book-based movie. We found "The Descendants" ... READ MORE
