Manila

Hello All,

Has anyone stayed at the Atrium Hotel at the corner of Taft and Sen. Gil Puyat avenues? Its listed on Asia Travel for p1500 and looks pretty good. I'll be in Manila for 3 days and I'm looking for nice hotel pretty close to the airport.

Also, where exactly is the LA Cafe? I've heard a lot about it but no clue as to it's location.

Thanks

[i] The "Buy & Sell" news paper has many "Escort" advertisement. This is a high end service and usually very expensive, ranging from the cheapest P8,000 to P15,000 per pop! :) These hot babes are from the A+ class such as models, flight attendants, college students, etc. Most with super body: good height, nice tits, excellent complexion & veryyy pretty! Too bad this category is beyond my reach. Sigh.

I wouldn't exactly call Gil Puyat "close to the Airport" - it's in Pasay and NAIA is in Paranque.
I don't offhand know _that_ hotel, but certainly within 20 blocks there's got to be literally a thousand hotels to choose from. As for a hotel much closer to the airport - that could be difficult if you expect to speak English a lot and see _any_ foreigners in the neighbourhood.

As for "where's LA Cafe"? Try the north-west Corner of L.A. Del Pilar and (I think) R.Salas (pretty sure it's a block down from Santa Monica Street. Del Pilar is one block up from the bay (not counting Roxas Blvd), between Roxas and Mabini. R. Salas is one block North of Pedro Gil. For the direction impaired - if Manila Bay is to your left then you're looking north. If you're more than three blocks up from the bay or further north than Padre Faura you've gone too far. On the other hand if you're in Pasay you're not even in the same baranguay, you're not even in same "city"!

Hope this helps.

My escape from the house for a business meeting in Makati yesterday fortunately left me a few hours of spare time late in the afternoon for a quick trip to G-Point in Ermita to meet an old friend. Set up my alibis with trusted local male friends once I realized I could squeeze a few hours. Cell phones are great that way, just make sure you have an arrangment with your female friends to *only* text you when you text them and tell them it's safe and for how long. If you have a filipina wife or steady girl then you know that she will have this habit of checking out your cell phone frequently - they're just protecting their investment in you. If you don't have a filipina, then unless you already know the girl well enough (which does NOT just mean the 3rd time you slept together after being introduced by someone you slept with before - I lost my original cell phone here that way!) ... then you don't even want her to know you *have* a cell phone yet. Careful who you trust, ha? Anyway, I digress, and you guys already know all that stuff, di ba?

While my friend was caught in traffic and I'm having my second *large* beer - not sure why the second beer showed up "on the house" but I wasn't complaining ... this absolutely cute 5'nothing girl walks in wearing an ice-cream cone and 3 friends (and some decent clothes) and casts the nicest smile directly at me. Of course the staff tell her to eat her ice cream outside. They're back in 10 minutes; it takes her about 5 minutes to work up the courage to walk over and say hi. She tells me she's in Manila now for 4days from her province, because her restaurant job back home for 80pesos/day isn't enough to buy milk for her baby - good reason! She struggles with English, so when I open up with enough Tagalog to converse she just totally melts.

I level with her that I really *am* waiting for a friend, so she asks nicely if it's ok to sit with me anyway, or will my friend get pissed? Walang problema! Long story short (there was a good hour of friendly talk and her warming up more), she is *so* cute and *so* nice (just a really nice regular girl hard up for pera) that eventually I take her hint and ask her if a few hours with her is ok before I have to be on my way home. Of course, *that's* when my "old" friend finally shows up, so I make introductions, catch up on things with her, ask her to make friends with my new friend to clue the new friend in on a few things to keep her out of trouble, which my old friend does with me contributing the odd hopefully helpful observation. Since my own clock is ticking, I check with my friend and she doesn't mind if I go out with the new girl, since my friend also has her "monthly friend" right now - which I know is true as her cycle unfortunately happens to match my wife's almost to the *hour*. The new little friend's 3 unlucky companions already left to go to LA Cafe in search of tourists who aren't quite as picky and have tons of money to burn, so my old friend does me a favour and takes the new girl down to the corner to wait for me cause we like doing the discrete thing.

(Hope by now you're not too confused by the various "friends!)

Quick jeep ride (which she insists on paying for) to Hotel Sogo on Mabini (which is down Del Pilar to one-block N of Querino then walk left one block to Mabini), 190 pesos for the room for 2 hours, and this teeny girl is the most wonderful combination of shy and all over me. I'm inclined to believe her that she hasn't had "it" since her boyfriend died 6 months ago. She said the one guy she met before me wasn't exactly satisfying when all they did was a bj. (You can figure out the next couple of hours.) I don't normally hand out money these days, but since she was obviously in need, she was very happy with the 500peso note I gave her. Too bad she can't afford a cell phone, but I do hope she stays in touch with my older friend now that they know each other so that I can see her again.

I really do need to find time for a beer at G-Point more often. :) I miss living in Malate.

I also have to shake my head about those people who pay 3000 pesos for pros already spoiled by japanese tourists! Really! Help a needy girl, there are many many thousands of them - with a few hundred pesos - instead of throwing maraming pera (tons of money) at some stuck up hard-pro! Infinite choices, ya know?

(I'll post "On the way home from Ermita" seperately - we really should have a seperate section for Cavite as kind of a 'burb of Manila.)

On the way home from Ermita ....

I stopped in at a locals bar on my way home (sorry I can't tell you exactly where cause I could get in deep sh*t - but if you know Cavite then you can understand "somewhere between Kabila and SM Las Pinas"). The exact location doesn't really matter because there are tons of these places with the little Christmas-tree lights and a few girls hanging around (but at least stick to the places that have a paid guard, ok?).

Decided I'd have "a beer" ... and shortly wound up invited over to a table, talking to a +real+ local whose Tagalog was mostly blowing me away and who'd had enough beers not to want to understand "dahan-dahan". He didn't invite me over to get a free beer (in fact he bought _me_ one later), but I knew that would happen. He just wanted to meet and talk to the new dude in the neighbourhood who's not quite as brown but close to the same age as him. Never toss caution, but *most* filipinos are really just honest friendly people; just watch out for the hardcore unemployed which was not the case - so ok, I guessed right and stayed lucky.

We talked about things and life and Phils and his wife and my wife and "babae" in general and I got some hints, just I only had 1/2 an hour and couldn't stay to really find out. Between the "scenery" and what I did catch of what he was trying to tell me despite the blaring karaoke, this place might be worth stopping in at again next time I'm passing by. If any of the girls are available then they're probably free or almost free way out here (depends on who you are and how you approach it, right?), not that it costs anyone who knows what they're doing much if anything in Ermita either. :) Since I know there's no such thing as "no available girls" if you play it right ...

I however wouldn't recommend these teenie bars full of non-English speaking locals in the boonies for the faint-of-heart tourist. Even some of my filipino friends are leary about going into them, but I think as long as you know your way around and enough Tagalog, buy one round of beers discretely for your table (don't play "big spender"!), keep your act together, and then you should be ok. Do avoid the place if the locals are too drunk - you don't want to get caught in the middle of some drunken brawl over someones lack of singing skills - they take these things pretty seriously and people have been known to get knifed or shot that way. Though I've walked into and quickly out of many places, my wife would give me total shit if she knew I *ever* stop in to check out such local venues, so don't underestimate that there is certainly some element of danger in little strange places, though still seems a whole lot safer than the equivalent back in North America!

BTW, I was there alone, but if you're half-way smarter than me you'd go with a bunch of filipino friends!

One of these years I might have an interesting observation to pass on, with a bit of luck and hopefully sufficient survival skills. Have to remember NOT to drink too much if that's what I'm doing, not to mention *watch* my beer to make sure I know what's in it. Not that anyone would actually want my parts for resale, but sometimes people do disappear and are later found missing a few parts.

If you're going "there" make sure you know how to +be+ the "good and decent transplanted filipino-wannabe". Do NOT go there as a "tourist"! Hah - and now I remember I was dressed for the business meeting I had earlier that day - right down to the shiny black biz shoes the wife insisted I wear - I really shouldn't have done any of that! I also probably shouldn't even post this, but I will, just read with appropriate caution; life is an adventure.

One last post before I crawl back into my cave in the "province" ...

There's someone who I won't name who owes this forum a "trip report" who in fact is a really nice guy who's since probably just gotten way too tied up with life or whatever.

It's about a year ago now that I noticed him here looking for advice. I offered what I could. He wrote back and eventually did come here in the fall of '02 on my recommendation with the info I passed to him. Alas, for whatever reason I lost touch with him after.

I remember giving enough advice to help him connect with a very nice little innocent virgin who cared for him and looked after him from the moment he showed up a the airport to the moment he left. She was in love. I hope they still are - I don't know.

I remember them coming over to our place when we had the Malate condo and the four of us having dinner twice in our place. I went nuts on the groceries and my wife (then gf) spent all day preparing.

I remember showing him around Malate; places to go, women to do.
I remember sharing quite a few beers and picking up a few tabs.
I remember laughing with him about the way-too-young girl who sat on my lap and said her name was "YumYum" who I sent over to sit on *his* lap, on the way out of LA Cafe as we left to go back to the bar where I had things all set up and ready for him for a time he'd remember.

I remember taking him around to help him find a suitable hotel room in Ermita for some private fun and then making sure that fun happened for him.

I remember introducing him to one of my *real* friends. I remember him telling me that he had a pretty +good+ time on the cheap with her friend when she promptly hooked him up with her. (Not to mention what I heard from my good filipina friend privately after - who incidentally asked me yesterday ---- what ever happened to **** !)

I remember giving what advice I could for him to try to get his filipina gf into his country.

He was kind enough to send me some of the pics he took of us all together, but what I +haven't+ seen is his trip report here, nor have I heard from him.

We met +in+ this forum. He promised he'd share what he learned and experienced here, here. Yet, wala! :(

The point is ... to those who benefit from us worn Tshirts in this Forum, please *do* give something back to the community, ok? Help the next guy, ok?
If you remember this, post. If you remember anything like this, courtesy of any other veteran, and suddenly feel guilty ....

You *can* have a part-time filipina gf! You can have a full-time one if you want to dedicate. You can have both if you can manage it. You can have many many many - oh, you'll run out of money and won't have enough of yourself to distribute! I know more than a few filipinas who would be happy to have you "contribute" to their welfare on an ongoing basis. Just don't expect them to be "exclusive" if you can't convince them that *you* are "exclusive" to them. You can do the "exclusive thing too", but it will require effort
(which can be well worth it!) Though then, juggling becomes a +whole+ lot more complex. Bottom line is: how much money do you have and how thin you can get away with spreading yourself? Gratuitous advice: don't spread youself too thin.

Don't mind if they're executives, flight attendants, sales girls, whatever ... just pick the right one, get it together with her, make sure she knows when you're coming and keep her happy when you're not in the Phils, and you WILL be happy starting when she picks you up at the airport. This is one place you can have just about anyone you want. I really doubt there's any easier place on the planet. Sometimes I wish I could clone myself, and I sure as hell don't think I'm any great catch but who am I to argue with a filipina's desire.

If you loose one, don't fret. It's fun having more tripping over you. Only problem is when there's no room for "more", 1/2 :)

Oh, I neglected to mention ... about your concept of "free sex" ... if you add it all up, nothing is free, anywhere! Think about that. Just that here life costs you a LOT less, and who you're with would be someone you could only dream of and drool over "back home", while more filipinas drool over you, ok? Damn hard place to live in sometimes!

To my fellow mongers,

Just arrived in Manila, currently working in Makati for a few weeks. Already been to the old stomping grounds. If any of you guys are in town and would like to share a few SMB, just drop me note here. I will check daily.

Cheers.

Hi,

Ilongo_boy or anybody else, I will be in Manila from 7/16-7/19 for biz, if anybody would be kind enough to show me around, drop me a line at gold123@email.com, I'm probably staying at the InterCon or Shangri-Edsa.

Mool

Ilongo,

I am in Makati for a week on business. I would to hang out. I don't know what SMB is, but if it is not to heavy for this rookie, I'm in.

its a sad day. After 5 years here Im leaving. Spent past five years having the greatest of times here. Started on my first day here in Burgos.. blow job in Hollywood I recall. Ended today with a trip to Skyline in Grand Boulevard.
In between then, had bjs from lady friends in Enterprise Center,in Bonifacio, in Ayala Alabang Street. Had full sex in Enterprise Center car park and hj in NorthPark driving range.Had hjs and bjs from bar girls in most of cinemas in Greenbelt and Megamall and a great blow in Metropolis near Festival mall.
Had two girls who were waitresses from a bar called suzy wong in las pinas, one from Asian Development bank, one from Asian institute of management, and on and on.
Met many friends thru yahoo icq and irc and shagged most of them. Was a regular at Anito in pasay and kamagong Inn in pasay on many afternoons, Century Park and sometimes Shangri La in Mandaluyonong.
Had three virgins, two manila and one in Cebu.
By my count had about thirty freinds who were all free and a few who got paid.
Had an engaged friend ( 21) from Cebu come visit me and would stay at a hotel in pasay road for three days at a time. Id go back and forth from my office to her... exhausting.
Done so many great and wild things.. funnily enough, I had my business office in a hotel here ,and would always laugh to see that hotels name mentioned by players. Id even see some bar girl friends leaving in the morning, but we all pretended never to recognise each other
Was active in wsg and manila tonight and always fabricating opportunities to play whislt maintaining a respectable family front.
Took many photos of my freinds in states of undress, beeen threatened by a few but generally well treated. Its been great and now Manilas loss is a Chinese cities gain. Already started out as I mean to go on.. with ten chinese ladies found from yahoo gracing my apartment.
So for the new guys.. go out and have fun. Treat the girls well.. whether you pay or not for sex... give them respect and they wil give you everything. Be careful of the aggressive ones, they can be trouble. But remember..for everyone that looks and smiles at you..she probably has sex on her mind..you have to find the key to unlock it. And contrary to many reports about girls not liking to blow here. i never found a girl who didnt blow. and some free friends were ok with anal.
I had three days when I did the double.. ie one girl in afternoon, one at night, but i find it harder to do this now.
Gogo bananas and foxys before were my best hunting but mascara was good when it was KC bar and had a private area. I left semen all over that room.
so..goodbye manila.. and guys.. have fun.This is a dirty polluted city with many looking to rip you off..so learn filipino so you wont look like a tourist..and go have a great time. I wil miss this place but will miss the women the most.

Forgive me for butting in, but SMB is the shortcut for San Miguel Beer :)

And if anyone wants to hang out, just lemme know.

lo peeps,

in october i'm traveling to the philippines, before flying onto thailand.

1/ is the scene in the philippines similar to thailand with freelancers, beer bar girls and finally gogo girls? i prefer beer bar girls or freelancers myself.

2/ what are the major night life areas in manila?

3/ can somone recommend some good hotels that are clean, air-conditioned, have cable tv, good security and doesn't charge if you have a guest for the night?

4/ when i land at the airport, what is the best way to get to a hotel, taxi, and if so, how much should it be?

5/ what are the going rates for ladies, short time/long time? i'm 30 years old (look 25), slim and fit i.e. no need to pay extra.

6/ i like my ladies buxom, not large or fat though i.e. i'd choose a girl with a great rack over a girl with a great arse. i have to hunt around in thailand to find a girl with a good rack; are the filipino girls a little more well endowed?

7/ what is puerto galera and sabang beach like? i've heard this is a good place for the girls. how long does it take to there too please?

i know there are a lot of questions here, but if anyone can answer any at all, it will be much appreciated.

regards

dazzer
