Everything has been stripped down. Nothing left but the path I forge ahead and the angels on my back. #RebeccaAndMarcelo #RiaMae #Binaoros #RMB by @riamae121
Posting a quick Throwback Thursday cuz I'm still thinking about this bit from the last #DMC for Winter 2026. It's the chill vibe and smooth pocket that I need to tap into before life gets hectic for a little while. Also an appreciation moment for the dopeness that is #Kaytranada ✨ There's lots to meditate on with this past Full Moon and Holy Week, but there's always more perspective and growth from the introspection. Staying centered to my mantra of the year of the #flow. 🎼 Song: "You're the One" by Kaytranada feat.

People will ask where you were when the #Knicks won the #NBA Championship in 2026... This was my June 13, 2026. I decided to keep it local in Washington Heights and started by checking out thee neighborhood sports bar but I got there about an hour too late to get a cozy spot to post up and watch the game comfortably. And after watching almost all of Game 2 standing on the streets (in Fort Greene by Spike Lee's spot and Havana Outpost) I knew these bones didn't want to go through that again. So we landed at the jazz bar that had a live band booked, but quickly filled with folks obviously solely focused on the deciding Game 5. The euphoria and high vibrations that kept building up to the culmination of this historic win were so incredible. I still get goosebumps thinking about it. And it means so much as a born and bred New Yorker, following this team through the 90s and feeling so much heartbreak from always coming up short to an elusive win. So I shout out Ewing... I am SO glad he gets an honorary ring. I shout out my dad who I loved watching games with and was an ultimate Knicks fan. Today after the win I gave the Knicks tees a break and wore my dad's staff shirt from when he was coaching at Mindanao State University - a job that got him the visa to come to this country. These are the kind of moments where I feel the absence and I'm so keenly making sure I share these moments with him all the ways I can to make it still be a celebration together. πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™ #letsgoknicks #knicksinfive #newyorkornowhere by @riamae121

No regrets. #buttergirl πŸ’ - #family takeover at Patsy's for my aunt's birthday πŸ₯° - This one right here!!! My baybay. ☺️ - I was trying to take our out of towners on a NYC night of dancing.

But @kimberly.chung sent me some decently easy recipes so I guess I'll have to make them myself πŸ™„ #JellicleBall before it closed. One of Diana's top skills is this lady will make sure sh*t happens! Now let's just have a full on musical purely about ballroom😻😽πŸͺ­πŸ”Ÿ by @riamae121

Here are some snaps from my very intentional July beach getaway that I look forward to every year. It makes me tap into the more quiet pieces of myself, while still enjoying the lovely interactions that always follow me. The sand and the water always restore me and gives me the space to literally and figuratively let everything wash over me. And what a treat that the only decisions I need to make are, beach or pool first? and what does my foodie heart feel like eating? πŸ˜‰ Feeling grateful, loved and refreshed. πŸŒžπŸ–οΈπŸŒŠπŸšπŸŠπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ™πŸΌβœ¨πŸ«ΆπŸΌ #longbeach #beachgetaway #refresh #peace #RMB by @riamae121

When my cousin told me, "this is a year of celebrations" that really hit home cuz this family - in our individual walks and as a unit - has gone through some intense shakeups in the last few years. But we gather our strength and move forward where there's always new progress, new blessings, and new life. So this is an ode to US and the beautiful way we take the time to get together and maximize the good times. 1-10: From the Connecticut coalition, my cousin's son graduated high school and has such a bright future ahead. I had my blazer on trying to be all profesh, but little did I know she hired a whole DJ and intended for us to cut up a rug and partay! And indeed we did... All three generations of us! 😊πŸ₯°πŸ™πŸΌπŸŽ“ 11-20: Houston in the house!!! My fellow American bb came to celebrate her birthday with us for the first time in years and brought her little diva munchkin and my now old-enough-to-have-adult-bevs godson. We got her full itinerary in, including one-on-one happy hour time, two Broadway shows, Brooklyn Museum, an amazing Filipino/Spanish fusion dinner, and pool party potluck time hosted by our fabulous Manong. πŸŽ­πŸ–ΌοΈπŸ²πŸŠπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ #family #blessed #resilience #cousins #celebrate (REPOST FOR SOUND...

New caption feature!!! (FB feels) From Memorial Day weekend to right before the Summer Solstice 😎 Loved this mini dance fam gathering for our lil bro's house warming 🏠 I swear we can twirl something fierce... But we also are Aunties and Uncs trying to catch these babies' Tik Tok routines. Lol. We got it eventually... 🀣 Who remembers how wet and cold Memorial Day weekend was!!! Def no beach for the kickoff weekend. β˜” She keeps me more consistent with the RPDR fandom. We love our drag queens, honey! πŸͺ© I seldom drink a beer, but when I do, it's fab when it comes like this! 🍺 Love these stairs at Harlem's Studio Museum. Gives me the old Soho Prada vibes. πŸͺœ Loved the deep culture in the exhibits 🦚 #studiomuseuminharlem Memorial Day, for many, is not complete without Dance Africa 🌍 A little focaccia experimentation fun 🍞 Remembering when I was a parade festival girlie. (But seriously - where are the cultural dance companies these days!?!? C'mon Pinoys!) πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ I want some traditional influenced garb... Just gotta get the price and sizing right 😬 Clearly, my whole identity has been all things #Knickerbockers #knicksinfive πŸ§‘πŸ’™πŸ§‘πŸ’™ For the recovery meal after a late night of losing our minds after Game 5, we went to visit this old NYC institution before it closed. #cozysoupnburger Then checked out Rock Bar for good measure. #pridemonth πŸ” Our Connecticut boy has graduated high school and is off to amazing things!!! Full post to come soon!πŸŽ“ Gotta dance! Rob + Britney is always a time! This wasn't about getting it perfect, but still going in and pushing each other through πŸ’ͺ🏼 We're not stopping!!! Cooking up some DMC fun for the Summer ☯️ I'll say it again: this is the greatest city in the world!!! Summer vibes are already so lit! πŸ—½ by @riamae121
