THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

The Plantdemic and How I found Joy in Gardening

08.14.2021 by Leah //

Let's talk about plants!   Like you, I was not immune to the 'plant craze' or 'plantdemic' that made people discover the joy of gardening during the pandemic.  In just a year, I have not only bought new plants but also new pots, plant stands, loam soil and even gardening tools!  I have learned how to re-pot plants, trim them and even propagate some. Unlike others though, I ... READ MORE

Product Review: Lasco UV-C Germicidal Lamps

11.21.2020 by Leah //

My shopping splurge during this 9-month community quarantine was not on clothes, shoes and bags but UV-C germicidal or sterilizer lamps – all purchased from Lasco Security Home Security and Automation via their online store at Lazada. I’ve read lots of online-published articles and studies about how UV-C light can kill 99% of coronaviruses and it helped too that there are ... READ MORE

Looking for the Perfect Face Mask

08.12.2020 by Leah //

Like most of you here, I have bought numerous types of face masks to protect myself and others from #covid19.  Wearing of face mask is mandatory here in our city, and while I am very comfortable wearing the 3-ply surgical masks, they cannot be reused and have to be disposed of immediately after wearing. At the start of #ECQ lockdown here in Manila, the supply of these ... READ MORE

My Birthday Week in Japan

02.16.2020 by Leah //

I'm back, people! Please allow me to do a little detour from my UK travel diary (haven't started with Day 7 yet, but don't worry, matatapos na ang kwento ko dun hehe!) and write about our very recent trip to Japan - where I celebrated my 4_th birthday! That's right. I decided to celebrate my birthday abroad for a change. The idea came about after reading countless ... READ MORE

Ken Samudio’s Matthew and Melka

06.15.2018 by Leah //

Sometime last May, I went to a Matthew and Melka private trunk show and there I was able to see and try the much talked about Fleur de Lis floral earrings that literally started the earring buzz here in Manila. The brand Matthew and Melka was created by Ken Samudio, an accessories designer who is the first Filipino to be selected by Vogue Italia as one of the Vogue ... READ MORE

Review: Cath Kidston’s 25th Anniversary Clutch and Mini-Purse

04.08.2018 by Leah //

My favorite British brand, Cath Kidston, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year 2018, and to mark this milestone event, a limited collection of bags, purses, clothes, among others, was released under their '25th Birthday Collection' issue. The drool-worthy anniversary collection pieces are now available online, and this much I can tell you: all  items from the ... READ MORE

Late Post: Shopping in Tokyo

08.27.2017 by Leah //

My 5-part Tokyo travelogue is still getting the most number of visits and search hits in the blog (thank you!), and this made me realize that I left one more good stuff to share about that trip - the shopping and my shopping finds! First off, I didn't shop much.  I enjoyed the window shopping, though hehe!  In doing so, I was able to compare prices of the Uniqlo and Muji ... READ MORE

Lomonosov “Bridesmaid / Baskets” Pattern Teapot

07.09.2017 by Leah //

Just when I thought I have given my wallet a breather by not actively looking for teacups to buy, I saw a Lomonosov teapot being sold in a group selling site at Facebook. I immediately recognized the design as the "Bridesmaid" (or "Baskets") pattern that was first introduced in the '70s, and combines the following trademark designs of Lomonosov: the fishnet (but ...

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
