Staycation: Cebu Parklane International Hotel

Take a look at these two cuties sleeping upstairs while the party downstairs was in full swing:

As soon as the little boys fell asleep, we left them with their nannies while we partied on downstairs:

Apparently, some partied a little too much...

Seth woke up early in the morning (while we were still nursing massive headaches). His nanny opened the drapes and as soon as he saw the view, all he could say was "WOW!"

We headed downstairs for a much needed breakfast.

Their breakfast buffet wasn't very impressive. The highlight was their chicken tocino and that's it. The service was impeccable, however so I'm not complaining.

Here's a peek at the hotel room:

Notice the room does not have a flat screen TV? That's because they're still slowly transitioning from the old ones to new ones.

It's almost time for us to check out, and we still we need to take a bath. Here's our little one checking if the temperature's just right. :D

Finally, we're ready to go. I'd like to thank the A's for letting us stay overnight for free.

See you next time! xx

Cream Cheese-Filled Cupcakes

Cupcakes are like solo cakes that you can eat anytime without guilt. It's just the right size for one person, looks totally awesome and you can go crazy with possibilities, such as placing cream cheese on top of a basic flavor - in this case, chocolate.

Take a look at all this deliciousness in front of your eyes:

Cream Cheese-Filled Cupcakes

Now tell me you aren't tempted.

Moist chocolate cupcakes made with the finest cocoa, topped with cream cheese and finally drizzled with chocolate ganache. I am in love. Oh, and these are ridiculously affordable too.

Omelettes or Pancakes?

Earlier this month, I posted this picture in Instagram with the caption "Omelette or pancake? Can't decide what it is."

After reading the recipe, tell me if these are pancakes or omelettes.

To make for one person, you need:
   1 medium ripe banana, mashed
   1 medium egg, beaten
   some chocolate chips

You can easily double the ingredients, just take note that 1 banana = 1 egg added to the mixture.

Mix everything. Do not add anything else.

The "batter" that you made has no flour so it's going to be runny. Cooking it any bigger than the one shown above will be a disaster specially when you try to flip it. Believe me, I tried. That's why there are only three pancakes in the picture.

In a non-stick skillet over low heat, pour 1/4 of the mixture. Wait for a few minutes, flip. Wait for a few minutes, transfer to a plate.

So, what do you think?
Easy enough?
It's really good too, albeit weird.
Try it, and let me know - pancakes? Omelettes?
