Makati

[Ghost D]

P Burgos Street located in the heart of Makati is a sorry sight today compared to pre-pandemic times, most of the girly bars are gone and those who have chosen to remain open are operating in a very different model to before. My favorite bar Rogues is no longer and I fear it may not return. However there are still some bars open, today I will talk about Lips, this was mentioned in a previous post so I will expand upon that and relate my own experience.

Lips is almost, but not really a girly bar, several of the waitress are attractive and some have clearly been dancers or hostesses in previous lives to Lips. In general while you might be able to bar fine a waitress, I don't see this occurring very often as the bar is generally trying to keep a low (ish) profile while riding out the pandemic. From time to time it does feel like a bit of life is happening there with it's dance heavy sound tracks / DJ in operation at all times and the energy of the bar staff, but there is no official dancing girls, so those who do end up dancing are customers, waitresses and sometimes freelancers depending on alcohol intake and party mode level. .

Sometimes some free lancers do venture into the bar and it was building up into "at least" somewhere you could go and most likely get a cute young thing to take home for the night, this happened before Christmas during the L2 Alert level, since going back to L3, the place gets raided by cops once a night to once every few days, who are mainly checking on overall numbers (30% occupancy levels during L3 Alert levels) and ensuring that everyone has a vaccine card of some sort, in fairness the staff do seem to be on their toes and keeping in line, so at least there is somewhere to go for a beer and little bit of atmosphere.

The business model is a combination of regular drinks, ladies drinks and bar fines, so for those who don't know this system the ladies drinks tend to cost around 300 pesos (compared to 150 for a regular beer, of this 300 the waitress gets 100 pesos while the bar keeps the remaining 200, this is why you keep getting asked to buy her (and her friend) a drink. This system is used across Asia and if you are not very careful you can run up an extensive bill in a short time, by being too nice a guy or just wanting to cut loose and party. An example of this is, the other night I wanted to just hang out in the bar and chat with some of the waitress, I was feeling generous so bought 3 of them some drinks, maybe 3 rounds, combined with my 3 beers and 1 whiskey by bill was close enough to 4000 pesos (roughly USD $77), which is a lot for a few drinks, but I knew the story as I have been there several times before, I enjoyed the night and got caught up on the latest on the street as they understood it.

The bar fines are not too bad, it is 3,500, but then the lady does expect 2-3 K in the morning, depending on what deal you strike up, sometimes I do see a mamasan in there, but not since L3 came into effect, that might change as businesses get a little braver and chase the money, I also go there infrequently.

I am unsure if there are some free lancers who can go in without incurring the bar fine system, I doubt it, but haven't verified it yet.

I see a few new places open or getting ready to open on the street, so will check them out and take some street photos to share for those interested.

Yes indeed, head to toe.

Beautiful bottom. Perfection.

Ya, Doc. Givin' me a stiffie.

And don't forget to clean BOTH of your 3-some gals. Before the sessions, between the sessions, and after the sessions. Its not easy, but I try to vax one of them in the first session and the other in the second session. Doctor Westy works *hard* for the health of his ladies. I regret that I have but one schwanztooka to give for the ISG cause.

Twice.

Good FR, thanks.

I mentioned cleaning before, but I forgot to mention before the importance of cleaning the ears. This twiglet understands. Daddy likes a clean everything. Long live the 'fresh filipina'.

...Quezon City KTVs are open. Pegasus which is OK, high end place, got to visit once. Heartbeats which I very much like is open. HB always has lots of pretty girls, nice stage show. Chill place. Pick a girl from the fishbowl or the stage. No one bugging you for drinks non-stop. If you've never ventured to Quezon Ave check it out. Classmates closed (good riddance) and renamed. Many other KTVs across from Heartbeats.

Thanks for the report. One of the problem I have with Quezon area is the drive from Makati. It takes an awful long time to get there. I tried Sundays. It was better but still quite a hike. I am wondering whether the solution is to get a hotel in that area. Never tried that.

Manila / Makati is almost 100% open now. Bars on Burgos are the slowest to open. I would estimate 40-50% of the bars have gone out of business. Tickles, which I liked very much, is gone. Ringside and all the ones between G String and Bourbon are demolished (Papillon etc).

Bourbon is completely renovated into a nice resto / bar to survive. A couple girl bars are open cautiously. Lipps is a new bar replacing the bar in the alley behind Bourbon (Russian sounding name formerly, I forget). Quite a few girls. OK, but not hopping. All dressed in t-shirts and jean shorts. I guess to pass as waitresses.

Also, as mentioned the nautically themed one up the street is open too. Didn't go in. Both probably paying lots of protection money.

I don't do massage places but Makati is like fishing with dynamite. SOooo many girls online looking for fun, WeChat, tinder pina etc. Lots of non bar girls, ie girls with jobs just after a little fun. Makati is a good place to be to sit out the lockdown!

It seems you haven't used WeChat for a while. The times with WeChat are over. Since the CCP started the Account confirmation thing for registering there are almost only Chinese there and you will not find hookers there anymore like in the old days!

COVID really has done a number on all of the regular places mongers would go to in the last two years. Heck, the Makati board used to be the busiest board on Philippines, but there have only been a handful of post the last few months. Has Makati died as a place for action?

Enjoy my cam-adventurous regular. She brought 'additional' talent one night. I had the new girl in the evening, and the next morning I woke with piss-wood and took the regular, seen here (in the days before pandemic, when it was easy to get two ladies into the unit). The new girl grabbed the camera and went to work documenting the session. Apology its dark and a bit fuzzy, the new gal was no camera expert. Before the morning joy I had opened the balcony door to air out last night's sex-smell remnants.

After my post yesterday I decided to do some searching and see what I could find. I found a place called La Bella Spa near Salcedo Park.

The entrance is through the parking lot lobby access. You have to sign in and show proof of vaccination with the guard in the foyer.

I walk up the stairs to the Mezzanine level and the spa is off to the left. I walked in and was greeted by the receptionist who presented a menu:

A) 1 girl for 75 min Lingham Massage Php1200.

B) 2 girl for 75 min Lingham Massage Php1800.

C) 1 girl body scrub + massage Php?

D) 2 girl body scrub + massage Php?

I only paid attention to the first two lines. I wasn't looking for anything too fancy, just wanted to test the waters here to see how it was.

I selected a girl named "Kisses" and was led back to the room. The rooms were 6 foot high hard partitions with curtains for the doors. Some privacy, but you could hear everything going on in the whole place. I was the only customer there, but could hear the girls talking and moving around. Nothing too distracting, but noticeable.

Kisses came in, and I stripped down. She was wearing a loose fitting silky robe, which stayed on the entire time, a face mask, and gestured for me to lay down on the table.

I'll save everyone the trouble of any further description. Just the highlights:

Her massage was sub par.

Her attention to anything else was minimal.

Her technique to get me off seemed to involve sighing and signaling to get this over.

The 75 minute massage was only 35 minutes.

For the place, I do not recommend the La Bella Spa.

Girl Looks: 7/10.

Massage: 2/10.

Extras: 3/10.

Cost Php1, 200 +300 tip.

I'd like to find someplace better. If any one has recommendations, please let me know.

I like massages. Love them, especially if there are extras. The few places I went to before (I did a report on 1764 last year) have closed, and some of the other places I've seen which have opened up just look scary. I'd like to head out and explore different massage places again.

Has anyone used or found a decent, clean massage place in Makati (not just the Burgos area) that gives happy endings or full service?

Normally I'd RTFF, but with the lack of posts recently, there isn't anything to find that would be current.

The last two bars on Burgos before you reach Kalayaan are now open. Last one (I think it's called Mariner's) fully fledged Gogo with plenty of pretty young girls to keep you occupied. I have never seen such a high bar fine rate on a night out, hoards of girls were leaving with groups out for a good time after a long time of such establishments not being open.

Bar next door is some sort of music place, but has dancers up on multiple stages. Hopefully these places are both legit and it's good signs for future, they were limiting entry to ensure fixed number of people allowed in bar only.

Roll on more openings please!

Its the holiday season gents. Hoping you can come soon as there seems to be good news on the horizon. Grab onto something small, warm, and mocha-colored. Something that can polish your knob. Something supple, and enjoy.

My good mood continues. Tiny cutie twiglet has more energy than I do, gets the better of me and rides it like she's in the Kentucky Derby.
