Ki-Hara

Check out this workout! It’s called Ki-Hara resistance training… Basically you are strapped down to a board while a trainer will stretch you out and you resist. It’s a true worout that works flexibility, strength and helps your core too. FYI…that was REAL pain for me…I’m terrible at stretching and I think the trainer was really trying to giv eme a proper workout! ha

I just spent an incredible week and a half with my sisters! Adrienne and Alison aka Ade and Bologna flew out from The Bay to come hang with their favorite “big” sister  in the MIA…actually, it was just Ade who planned to do this, but there was no way bologna was going to let us hang without her! lol

So the first night they made it to Miami we stopped by Club BED, then the next morning we hit South Beach to get some Vitamin D on their “pale” exteriors! It was nice to hang out and have my sisters with me…my two best buds! Bologna and I are really twins (mini-me) …I’m just a few years older and a few shades darker! ha

Alison had a laundry list of plans for us, like eating Prime 112, going to the MAC store and Paddle Surfing!

I did a story for Deco last year with Girard and he was happy to give us a lesson on the beach, they loved it!

Then, from Miami we set out to Raleigh, North Carolina to meet up with our baby brother Adam and Dad, for my cousin’s wedding…Viko lives in Australia, but his bride is from N.C….so the Aquino’s descended on Southern Pines!

It was great to see a good portion of my Dad’s family, all but 2 of his siblings made it..and most of my 31 first-cousins from that side of the family were there from all corners of the U.S. and abroad!

I think it was the best wedding they’d seen in those parts in a long time..lots of CELEBRATION and James Taylor songs! From Carolina we left our Dad and brother to hit the Bahamas! My sisters had never been, so a visit to Paradise Island and the Atlantis was a must, I mean how many chances will we be able to spend the time together and vacation, right?

We stayed at the super cool “Cove” and did a deep water interaction with dolphins..I sort of freaked out though when they wanted us to go under water…I’m no good with wearing a snorkel mask and holding my breath and swimming!!

The memories with my sisters are priceless…can’t wait til our next “episode!”

The Hangover

“What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas” …but sometimes it’s hard to remember exactly what happened in Sin City! For this special edition of On The Flipside, Aubrey Aquino sits down with Hangover star Bradley Cooper to talk about the film and what it was like to work with the former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Mike Tyson. Iron Mike makes an impressive cameo in the movie, and shows off his flipside with a rendition of In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins!

Fresh Kicks

My Nike “Air Max” iDs came in yesterday! I designed them myself and I’m very happy with how they came out! I had a choice between designing Dunks, Cortez or Air Max, and honestly, I picked these because the sole is thicker (higher) and I’m so used to heels…so I needed the extra height in my kicks too!

I even had my “signature” put on them…so you know they are MINE! I know Nike’s been doing this customizable iD thing for a while, but I believe the style I got is and/or was exclusive…  I know ya’ll like that silver metallic I put on there too, huh!?!? Thanks to The 305 for encouraging me to post pix! 🙂
