Silantro Fil-Mex Cantina

I was never really a fan of Mexican food before, I don't exactly know why but it just doesn't make me go wow. However, my friend told me that we should try this new restaurant in Kapitolyo that serves Filipino-Mexican food. It's new and everyone's actually posting their #foodselfie on Instagram so I said, why not?  

I think we probably ordered too much but O M G. This restaurant is nothing short of amazing. It's definitely the beeeest mexican restaurant I've ever tried!!! The cheese...the meat...the fresh salsa and vegetables on the side.. WOW. Just wow. It was heaven!!! I really can't tell you how happily surprised I was when I had my first bite on their nachos! Aaaaahhh it was just so good!!!!! ❤️ 

Beef Nachos (P180)

It's so sulit! For only P180, you'll have the cheesiest, meatiest and super duper crunchy nachos chips! YUM!!! 

Lucha Tacos (Hard shell tacos) P95

I chose beef and lengua for my meat which only cost P85 (Medio). You can also have only 1 meat for your taco (Ligero, P65) or choose 3 meats for you to fully enjoy your taco madness! (Completo, P100). You can choose among pork, lamb, lengua, chicken, ox tail and beef.

Lucha Tacos (Soft shell tacos) P95

For this I had Beef and Chicken. The tacos were soft and kinda gives you a light feeling while munching on it. 

Quesadillas (P160)

My all-time favourite! This super cheesy quesadillas just literally melts in your mouth. The rich creamy flavour that will make you speechless. *drooool*  If you're a cheese lover like me, this dish will definitely be your next comfort food! 🙌🏼

Grilled Mahi-mahi (P210)

Fresh, perfectly cooked and feeling the tropics vibe. Those were the right words to describe this dish. If you want to eat light and still feel the Mexican vibe, try this!

Skewers

The beef was juicy and tender while the sauce has the perfect blend of Mexican spices that you won't get enough of. Plus, it comes with a creamy mashed potato.

10 poses that you can do at the beach

Summer's here!!!!!! And it only means one thing... it's the perfect time to go to the beach. Who wouldn't love the cool, fresh ambiance of the sea and the warm cozy steps that you make on the sand? *insert the sound of the waves here*

I am a certified beach lover and I don't know why I usually forget all my problems whenever I spent my day at the beach.
For this post I'll be showing you 10 poses that you can do at the beach just so you can start pumping up your Instagram feed goals!

1. Make use of the sea. The water can really make your feed look cozy and calm

2. Don't forget to use props!

3. Take an OOTD shot before dipping in

4. If you find it hard to look at the camera without actually laughing (im definitely guilty of that hehe) just look away and let them snap a photo of you

5. Silhouettes will never go out of style

6. Back shots are one of the easiest way that you can do that can instantly make your feed look artsy!

7. Embrace the heat of the sun

8. Shoot in different angles

9. Selfie!! (this was actually the time when no one's around to take a photo of me :()

10. Lastly, sometimes all you need is your beautiful face to ace that picture perfect photo! :)

Hot Air Balloon Festival

I know it's been months since The Hot Air Balloon Festival happened but I just got so busy with my life that I wasn't been able to edit my photos and write blogs :( BUUUUT as the old saying goes, it's better late than never right?? :)

So the 20th Hot Air Balloon Festival 2016 happened last February 10-14 in Clark Pampanga. This event happens every year and each year, they make it more extravagant than ever. We got there at around 7:30AM which means we're late for the 6:30AM show (aww huhu) The good thing was we we're able to see it from a distance!!! Thank you sunrise for adding colour to this beauty! 

Tip: If you want to have a picture this close to the balloon, make sure to catch it before it flies. The balloons don't really have a permanent place where they land so if you find one, you better ruuun and immediately strike a pose!! 

Aside from these cutiepatootie balloons, there's also a wide variety of food that you can choose from. 

Don't forget to have an Instagram worthy post before leaving this place!! 😋

Missed it? Don't worry cause Hot Air Balloon Festival is happening again on April 14-17 at the Pradera Verde, Prado Siongco, Lubao, Pampanga. 

Tickets available at SM Tickets priced at P280 for One-Day Pass.
