Day 2 Evening (Friday 3 March):
I jumped a taxi and headed back to the hotel. On the way back to the hotel, I really started to miss the time I had with the mature lady on day one.

Day 3 will follow soon.

Day 3 Morning Report (4 March Saturday): I got a good night's sleep and woke up Saturday morning feeling good, but was disappointed about the two sessions I had the day before (see day 2 report). Before I headed out for breakfast in the hotel, I decided to send a message to the mature lady I meet on day 1. I asked her if she wanted to meet for lunch and about a half hour later she agreed, she suggested we meet at MOA Starbucks at 12:30. I ate a light breakfast and prepared for my meeting. I got to MOA and she arrived right on time and she looked just as good as I remembered. We were looking for a place that served pasta and settled on Italiano's. While walking there I held her hand and she was making various affectionate jokes about us as a couple. This is why I like to see more mature women, they know how to hold a conversation and just relax (for the most part). I liked being with her because she is smart, articulate and confident. She carries herself with a lot of class and sophistication. We had a nice lunch and walked around the mall a little. That's when I remembered that she said she likes chocolate, so I told her we need to find a place to buy some. We found a stand that had various chocolate bars, she was joking with the sales lady that I was her ex-husband and I was trying get back together with her. LOL. I told her that I'm always looking for a future ex-wife. We walked back to my room and we didn't waist much time with small talk and next few hours was very passionate as we satisfied each other's needs and cravings several times over. She asked to take a short nap and I let her sleep for about a half hour. I told her earlier that I was going to meet my friends around 5 pm. I woke her up and she took a shower with the door open and kept joking about how I couldn't take my eyes off of her (she was right). As she parted, I have her some money so she can maybe get something for herself next weekend for her birthday.

P.S. I think I was falling for her, if you haven't figured that out by now.

Day 3 Evening Report will come soon.

I didn't have residency when I bought the bike. As Sam14 has said, you don't need much in the way of documentation to buy it. I don't even remember if I had to whole my passport.

GE.

I did not show any passport etc, if you have the cash someone will be happy to take it from you LOL.

Seriously I used bank transfer and all the dealer wanted to see was proof of funds prior to purchase of the car.

Thank you very much to you and other guys who answered my questions.

[GoodEnough]

But you have a residency right? I am just a visitor. I want to buy a motorcycle instead of renting one. I will than sell it. I noticed that the places rent the bikes are not too reliable and their prices are too high to keep the bike for a long time. Can you give me some more input please?

I've bought several vehicles here, including a motorcycle and all I needed was a driver's license and money. It's not at all difficult to purchase and legally register a vehicle. In theory, to drive a bike here requires a special license. In practice, no one seems to care.

GE.

If you have a bike, you need to renew your LTO licence once a year. There are not many controls, but sometimes 3 times a week, and than no controls for some months. They want to see a valid driver's licence and this LTO paper.

[Sam 14]

Costs about 5-6K a month to rent in the places that do it, like Dumaguete and Bantayan. But most places don't have rentals so you shouldn't count on being able to rent. It's not like Vietnam or Thailand where it's cheap and everywhere. You can buy a beater for 30K on OXL or Sulit but unless you find a foreigner seller it will probably be hammered and not safe or fun to ride. Also it may be a pain in the ass to get it legal at the LTO. You can easily buy something new like a Wave 125 or XRM Honda for about 50-62K and easily sell it for 35, maybe 40 when you leave. (I don't remember if I needed a licence to buy, I think just passport). It takes about a month to get the temp plate and technically it's not legal to ride until you get the plate. But everyone does it anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. No one cares about residency. Bring your valid M1 licence from your country and easily get a Phil licence at the LTO. You won't get flogged for not having a local licence but it's easy enough to get so why not. You can do it in 1 day and it's not expensive. I wouldn't want to visit an LTO in Manila, Cebu or Davao, I'd try to pick a city with an LTO that's not a madhouse. Or else obtain an International DL in your place.

Remember, the up side to owning is you have the freedom to go places and see stuff that you never would otherwise. Also you meet girls in places that are off the track. The downside is you got that anchor around your neck. So if you want to transfer to another island it can be a big hassle with the ferry issues and having to haul your stuff over land. So if for example you're just going to be in the Visayas, for less than 4 months, you may be better off to just rent.

I agree as long as you have the cash they will find a way to part you from it LOL.

I have bought cars and had no issues, the dealer tends to want cash and does not like you to finance it though.

Many friends have bought (and rented) bikes without being residents either.

[GoodEnough]

Do I need to be a legal resident to buy a motorcycle in Philippines? Did any of you buy a vehicle in Philippines?

Great reports LM and encouraging for me. I too had planned to post to CL and I'm happy that payed off for you. I also like that you post the good with the bad. That's the mongering life for sure. My own trip is now only about 3 weeks out so it's time to make some bookings.

A large part of successful mongering or hunting is "mind-set" or mental attitude. Sending out the right "vibe" is quite helpful in this regard. This is what I have come to call "sexual sonar pinging".

Sexually aware women, even non P4P, will pick up on your sexual sonar pinging, and will be attracted. Especially true in the Philippines, but also true to varying degrees in other countries. Of course, YMMV.

Up periscope!

Interesting note, the taxi driver said there is a brothel type house (not a KTV and not a bar) it just a house where you pick a girl and take her out with you. He said it's 3000 P and asked if I wanted to go there now. I said no but got his phone number, I was tired and I wasn't sure that I might get robbed or worse. Does anyone have any info about this?

Day 3 will follow soon.

Yes,

You have been invited to a cass as mentioned before.

These are shady little places in a little scary neighbourhoods, which usually act as fishbowls.

I went twice with a mate and the same driver both times.

YMMV, but I had a really great experience with one of the 2 girls, which exchanged phones and became a frequent visitor to my hotel room in following visits (after she stopped working in the casa).

I do remember both times the girls were relaxed, sat for drinks in our hotel / condo, acted very playful, and remained for morning session be fore leaving by 9 am give or take.

I have also heard of bad experiences from friends, so I guess the level of service is very unstable.

Enjoy,

Dave.

Day 2 Evening (Friday 3 March):.. As I'm trying to enter her I can tell it's hurting her but she's not complaining. I stop and ask her if she's okay and says yes and pulls me in (I don't think I'm that big just average I guess). I start get it in and I can tell by the look on her face that she's in pain. I stop and she says -it's okay, keep trying, I'm okay. At that point I just couldn't do it, it felt like I forcing myself on someone and her being only 19 it crept me out a little (I've been with plenty of working girls in Korea and Germany and it doesn't bother if they are bored or not into it, I've never had one that was in pain). So I stopped and said maybe just give me a BBBJ instead. She said, please, please just do it, I'm okay really. I said that's okay, a BJ will be good. She kept saying sorry and apologizing, I told her to stop saying sorry, it's not your fault. I think she wanted me to just do it because she thought I was going to complain to her boss and she would get into trouble. She gave a good BBBJ and then we cleaned up.
LM.

Same happened to me with a girl from EDSA. Well, almost the same. The girl got anxious cause I did not come. Hey, a guy only has so much juice. She was afraid I would complain to the mamasan. I told her not to worry, etc. Anyway, I think you handled it rather well. Another plus for the cause.

You got an invitation to a casa. The taxi driver gets a kickback and I am not OK with that type of sales. I went twice and once I partook. The girl had a stinky urinary track infection and was a runner. There are better alternatives.
