THE BRIGHT SPOT

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

Tagged with Love!

Sorry I have been filling up this blog with mostly shopping finds!  But they're all good stuff, anyway so I hope it makes everybody happy too, hehe! Let me just share with you these handmade gift tags I ordered from Tagged with Love (formerly 43lucy.com).  It took a while for the gift tags to arrive from the U.S. (something must be done with our local postal service, argh!) ...

Caleruega’s Retreat Center

04.03.2015 by Leah // 3 Comments

Today being Good Friday, I want to look back at our visit to Caleruega in Tagaytay last year. Caleruega is a compound that houses the popular wedding destination, the Transfiguration Chapel, and the Caleruega Retreat Center.  Not everyone may know this but the administrators of Caleruega offer retreat packages for schools, couples and families.  Perfect for this Lenten ...

The Foreveryday Ring

10.14.2014 by Leah // 9 Comments

I'm very happy to introduce to you The Bright Spot's first Holiday Jewelry Offering, which took some months of planning with my jeweler because I wanted to make sure that it's gonna be within everyone's budget: Yes, it's an eternity ring but is MORE than that! An eternity ring is perhaps the most romantic ring that a guy can give you.  It symbolizes never-ending love, ... READ MORE

Sometime last month, The Bright Spot received very special gifts all the way from . . . (drum roll, please) . . . California! It was a very thrilling experience for me, especially because it came from somebody I've known for a while and whom I really admire:  Ms. Marilenn of 43 Lucy Design Blog + Shop! Marilenn is a Filipina graphic designer, photographer, writer, crafter ... READ MORE

A Different Dining Room at Gourmet Farms

07.21.2013 by Leah // 1 Comment

Three (3) Sundays ago, AJ and I went to Silang, Cavite with my good friend and kumare, Chel and her mom, Tita Chit.   We were there on a "secret mission" (will tell you when it's a done deal hehe!) and Tita Chit and Chel invited us to have lunch at The Dining Room at Gourmet Farms. It was my first time to be there, and I was totally "enchanted" by the place.   I love the ... READ MORE

It's been almost 2 years since I got married and I still continue to receive inquiries about my wedding gown.     Yes, my simple yet superstar wedding gown! No heavy beads.  No heavy fabric. No lace.  No flowers.   I kept the design simple and yet it made lasting impression to our guests and my blog readers!   By doing away with all the drama, my gown was able to ... READ MORE

Von Lazaro’s Infinity Collection

06.05.2012 by Leah // Leave a Comment

Remember the infinity dresses that my bridesmaids wore to my wedding? I got lots of questions immediately after posting my feedback on these Lili / Marilenn Florendo Infinity Dresses and I still do, up to now!   Although based in Cebu, Mrs. Lili Florendo frequents Manila to meet up clients.  She specializes in infinity dresses, and I consider myself lucky to have found ...

We turned 1!

Today marks our 1st wedding anniversary. Can't believe it's been a year!  Time flies really fast when you're having a good time! We celebrated our special day by relaxing at Bellevue Hotel, where we also spent the night.  It was a much deserved staycation for us, too. Will post about our Bellevue experience soon, and we only have good words about their service and ... READ MORE

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
