BAILANDO (By Enrique Iglesias) Dance Workout

I wanted to break in a pair of high-heeled shoes last weekend and also to burn some calories because I gain weight fast every time I’m here in Manila. I searched YouTube and found Enrique Iglesias’ “Bailando” as the perfect dance song for Zumba and Salsa routines.

I can’t do the dance with a partner though because my husband loves teasing me and dances like a super energetic wriggling worm with too much flailing arms and so out of beat. lol Like seriously, I cannot focus because I am literally rolling (not dancing) on the floor laughing.

So yes, I’m going to give my husband a straitjacket (I had to correct the spelling, sorry lol 😃) next time we dance so he can learn to dance with grace, poise, and finesse.✌️

Seriously though, everything can be learned. What matters is that you’re enjoying what you’re doing. Check out the videos below for the different choreographies. Happy Friday, loves! ❤️💃


Always my favorite Latino singer. 😍

Simple Bailando couple dance.


Perfect for ladies who love twirling around. 😉

P.S. Don’t forget to search for the translation of the lyrics if the song is written in a foreign language. I think you know what I mean. 👇



TRES AMIGOS Boracay: A Mexican Delight

I have to apologize, yes. For this post is long overdue. But it came in timely as it is the start of summer now and beach getaways are on top of the list. 🙂

I was supposed to write this over the holidays. But well, the holiday season is just the busiest in our calendars – vacations, getaways, dining out with families and friends. But this article is not about the holiday getaway with my fiance and his family last December 2014 at Boracay Island in Aklan, Philippines. Allow me though to post some photos of our holiday getaway there:

This post will be a food review about one of our favorite type of cuisines – Mexican. We found one at the heart of Boracay inside D’ Mall exactly on our last day – Tres Amigos. Indeed, it was a nice way to cap off our island experience in Boracay.

My fiance ordered chimichanga while his brother and I ordered beef burrito and quesadilla.

Tres Amigos’ beef burrito is one of their best sellers. And I can tell why. It has that smooth blend of Mexican spices that are not too overpowering and mixes well with the mango salsa. Of course, the perfect aroma of Mexican spices never fail to tease my palate.

Beef Burrito

For the chimichanga, it is similar to our beef burritos except that it was fried. When I saw the crisp sides of the dish, my mouth just melted away I just went ahead and indulged myself over a good crispy, crunchy portion.

The quesadilla will surely melt your heart away. Every part of it was melted to perfect goodness and the smooth texture of the beef and cheese just complemented well with the overall texture of the pita bread.

I forgot to take a photo of the refreshing mango shake, the perfect all-natural fruit drink to pair with the tasty Mexican dishes we had.

So if you are headed towards Boracay this summer, you might want to try Tres Amigos if your appetite is craving for that Mexican delight and yes, at a very affordable price too. Bon appetit! 🙂
