Fatterside in Boracay, Two Seasons

 

 

 

Two Seasons is Frances' favorite place in Boracay. She has many, many and too many memories here, and maybe not all good, so we stayed here to make new happy memories for her. :)

 

 

Walking in from the back entrance

 

 

There's a nice long and narrow koi pond along the hallway

 

 

 Our breakfast place every morning

 

 

The Bar

 

 

The Cabanas. We had amazing pizzas here.

 

 

I love the icy orangey welcome drink

 

 

We stayed in the Family Grand Suite with Verandah

 

 

The room is big enough to fit 8 people comfortably.
There are 2 queen beds and 1 king bed in the common room.

 

  

And another queen bed in a private room. Because The Fatterside Parentals read my blog,
I am not going to say who and who slept here :P

 

 

The bathroom

 

 

The shower can fit 8 people, but I would always retire to the room earlier than
everybody else so I could do my own thing in peace.

 

 

The other girls like to group-bathe. Eew.

 

 

Thank God there is only one toilet bowl or else they would have group-pooped, too!
*Faints* 

 

 

Our stash

  

 

Some nights we would take a dip in the pool. Check out my sister's matching hair and back.

 

 

I refuse to do the mustache pose

 

 

Every night we bonded over good music, silly games, food and drinks that took years and years
away from our lives. It was priceless. I needed this vacation.

 

 

Still, I REFUSE TO DO THE MUSTACHE POSE!!! TAMA NA!!!!!

Fatterside in Boracay, Day 4

 

Our last day was a bit hectic and stressful. 

We were supposed to leave the resort at noon to catch our 2:30pm flight to Manila.

The people who went on a jet ski trip didn't come back until 11:59:59.

 

 

These are the people. Remember their faces.

 

 

And because yesterday's "BoracaY" was so successful, the cousins insisted that we do "Fatterside" before leaving the island. 

UGH! 

 

By the way, this was what I had for breakfast

 

 

And this. I love soggy cereal.

 

 

And so, at 12:01:02, here we go again

 

 

"FAttersIde"

 

 

The Cast. Bow.

 

 

Then we rushed to the airport

 

 

Boracay Airport has improved so much since the last time I was there

 

 

The check-in areas are brighter and more spacious and even had LCD screens.
I just wish they would stop asking me to go on the scale and take record of my weight.
(Is there even a confidentiality policy over this???)

 

 

There were wifi zone signs everywhere but I couldn't seem to connect

 

 

Waiting to board

 

 

Dumplings, siomai, siopao, cuapao… Last hurrah!

 

 

Goodbye, Boracay! We're gonna go on a one-year diet and come back again!

 

 

Fatterside in Boracay, Day 3

 

Fatterside Breakfast Club

 

 

This morning I noticed I was starting to grow a triple chin (on my face and my tummy) from all the
pizzas and chips I had been eating, so I decided to limit breakfast to a smallish omelette,
one piece of longganisa, and one tiny piece of chicken adobo 

 

 

What people didn't know was that this smallish omelette packed all these ingredients:
little ham, little mushrooms, some red bell peppers, chopped onions and loads and loads of
(gasp!) processed cheese

 

 

Mangoes to balance the diet

 

 

I was so relieved I was wearing something over my bikini when Sophie of Beautynomics and her
friends approached me at the breakfast table. I would die a million deaths if she saw the million
folds on my stomach… and back, and arms, and thighs! Hi Sophie and friends! :)

 

  

After breakfast we went to the other side of the island for my favorite water activity

 

 

Flyfish!

 

 

The 4 chunkier cousins got on one fish. The 5 normal-sized ones got on the other. 
This is the chunkier group. That girl on the right… that's not me!!!

 

 

We asked the flyfish manong to drive very, very fast.
We are suckers for speed and adrenaline rush!

 

 

WHEEEE!!!!!!!

 

 

The skinnier ones hung on really tightly

 

 

They lost only a few people, and very few times

 

 

The chunkier group, on the other hand, spent more time in the water (and getting back up
on the fish - OMG, that took forever!) than on the flyfish itself

 

 

Archie and I. The last two standing.

 

 

And that's my brother. He almost died of fear.

  

 

Still full from gallons of saltwater consumption, we had a very light lunch at Ambassador Resort

 

 

Prawn and Lobster Bisque

 

 

Black Truffle Oil Mushroom Cappuccino

 

 

Cacciuco - a creamed mixture of prawns, fish and crab blended with tomato and brunoise
of vegetables. This was really delicious!

 

 

Black Truffle Oil Mushroom Risotto

 

 

Pinoyzza - fresh Filipino pandesal dough topped with cream cheese, marinated tuna,
shallots, salted egg, arugula

 

 

Four Cheese Pizza - blue cheese, brie, cheddar, mozzarella
Ambassador's pizzas were not bad, but I couldn't help comparing them to Two Seasons'
which were much, much better

 

 

Marble Cheesecake

 

 

Chocolate Ganache

 

 

Reminiscing about our flyfish adventures (and misadventures). YES, THAT HILARIOUS.

 

  

After lunch, I was once again forced by the younger cousins to perform an act of silliness.
They wanted me, jinlovestoeat, to form part of the letter "a" 

 

 

It took about 35 minutes to get everyone to agree, stand up, learn the letters, actually do the letters, and find a willing non-Fatterside to document our efforts.

 

 

BoracaY

 

I tell you, we were the free live entertainment of the whole Station One.

I retired to the cabanas (ate pizza) and left them to continue with their acts of extreme silliness.

 

Such as this

 

 

And this.

 

I thank God for digital cameras. If they didn't exist, my cousins would have finished one million three hundred sixty eight rolls of film.

 

 

Dinner was at Hawaiian Barbecue

 

 

Island Style Coco MacNut Shrimp - island shrimps coated in coconut and macadamia

 

 

Crispy Calamari Aioli

 

 

The Original Hawaiian Baby Back Ribs

 

 

Boracay's Own - galunggong fried hot spicy and crispy

 

 

Sun-Ripened Mango Chicken Barbecue

 

 

Red and white carbs

 

 

Fire is mesmerizing

 

 

No wonder people like to play with it

 

 

She (or He) danced with fire

 

 

I am afraid of fire. I danced the hula. (Sorry for the arm sag, oops!)

 

 

Made a quick stop to Jonah's for our daily dose of sugar

 

 

Again, these naughty mustache boys spiked our shakes

 

 

Snacked on mooncakes back in the hotel room

 

 

Didn't want our last night in Boracay to end
