Planning to Retire Soon!

If you are planning to retire in the Philippines soon, I suggest you visit several excellent websites on pro's and cons of retiring in the Philippines. However if you want to retire in the provinces, where life is simple, standard of living cheaper, less traffic congestion and pollution, availability of fresh seafood and vegetables compared to the big cities, my island province is the place for you! If this is your first time in my site, welcome. Some of the photos and videos on this site, I do not own. However, I have no intention on the infringement of your copyrights.

Sway with Me- My Favorite Zumba Music Here at THD

Zumba is one of the activity that I love here at THD.  Sabrina Monahan our teacher vivacious personality and dancing skills, I will always remember.  Sometimes, I do not feel like it( aching knees and slight back ache), but forced myself because I like the music. Sway with Me is one of my Favorite Music with the Cha Cha beat. 

Sway with Me is my Favorite music during our Zumba and Happy Hour Events here at THD. Marsha and I can not help but dance the Cha Cha with the music even if my knees are aching that day. 


Here' s a little bit of history of this recording by Dean Martin.   This date in 1966 saw the release of 'The Best of Dean Martin', a compilation album of Dean Martin songs, released by Capitol Records (Oct 26, 1966)
NOTE: In lieu of a clip featuring Dean singing SWAY, I've colorized a dance scene to accompany the song - from the 1941 Hollywood musical comedy film 'You'll Never Get Rich' featuring FRED ASTAIRE & RITA HAYWORTH.
SWAY is about dancing, and being infatuated with your dance partner - Martin sings that when they sway together on the dance floor she is all he sees.
This song was written in 1953 as "Quien Sera" by the Mexican bandleader Pablo Beltran Ruiz. Norman Gimbel, who also wrote English lyrics for "The Girl From Ipanema," did the same for this song, which Martin Recorded.
Some of the popular singers who have recorded this include Bobby Rydell, Ben E. King, Michael Bublé and Cliff Richard. 
Martin's rendition was used on the TV shows House ("The Down Low" - 2010) and Masters of Sex ("Thank You For Coming" - 2013). It was also featured in the movies Small Time (2014), Sexy Beast (2000), Beautiful Creatures (2000), and Payback (1999).  

Here's a video of the Zumba with the Music Sway. Sabrina's Choreography is better than this one.    


Meanwhile here was my dessert at dinner last night- Panna Cotta with Berries
