Other Areas

[Cbea20]

Sorry, off topic, but related to the last few posts...

It's not always possible to have a cell phone available on the first trip to the Philippines. I highly recommend buying one soon after arrival. I bought mine used and it has been a very good investment.

My next visit, I have to do some juggling of the ladies...if you know what I mean. How much does it cost to get a second sim card? I need to have two seperate numbers. One for the keeper, one for the others.

And lastly, never put all your eggs in one basket. That goes for women and it goes for friends you make here at ISG. People have last minute emergencies and can't always do what they say they will do. (yea, there should be apologies...in any event)

Now, this is the "other areas" thread. I'll pretty sure I'll be making a return visit to Alona Beach. I stayed at ISIS last time which was brand new back in Jan06. Has anyone stayed at Alona Kew? Any recommendations?

The second SIM chip costs the same as the first, about $6 and it comes with some minutes. I bought my second when practicing the art of the delayed departure, telling two GFs and a gaggle of pro's that I was leaving three days earlier than I really was, in order to have undisturbed fun with a professional ATF. I also took the opportunity, on the advice of others, to switch from Smart to Globe. (If the Philippines SIM chip is in the phone, and the phone is turned on, they can tell you are still in-country because your phone will ring.)

I won't be answering any more individual comments regarding my previous post except to say to Cbea why do you presume I had not had contact with Porty on the mobile phone I had on numerous occassions and that is why I was annoyed he did not turn up. To XMan I like your work but why do you presume I did not PM Porty about the matter. Jackson can confirm that I have made at least 26 PM's on this board so I do now how to use the PM function. The reason I said what I said and the medium I used to say it was because I never got any answer thru Mobile Phone, PM from the person concerned either thru ISG or thru Friendster (where I did send him a message). Yes, I agree, I don't post much of my experiences, thats true, but not everyone is as " out there" as you are, respect my privacy on that one. I pay my subsription to read the posts of fellow members (like you) and will comment when I feel like it, not just to make myself feel like a big man who shouts to the world his conquests and triumphs. I don't want to make enemies here, I was warning people to be careful about what they are told even by a fellow Aussie where we like to think that your mates come first. Regards to all. PM me if you wish but thats it for me on the subject.

That's what cell phones are for. To identify beforehand people who talk big on the 'net but don't come through in person.

I won't mention names, but a few posts before this, someone posts his direct criticism of another member. This person apparently doesn't know how to use the PM function. This person also mentions he has been to PI twice, yet he has a grand total of two posts. Maybe I suggest to this person that they attempt to contribute rather than attack.

Which reminds me of a PM I got a while back...guy was asking for specific information on a woman. He mentions that he goes to the Philippines two or three times a year. Same thing...grand total of two posts. Did he get the contact info...NOOOOOO.....

Guys, if you gain anything from ISG, then consider contributing. It doesn't have to be about women...hotel / restaurant reviews...airport hassles...whatever.

Porty,

You have no right to complain about your recent treatment after the way you left me in shitters ditch in April in Cebu. You might remember you had arranged to meet me at the airport and offered a couple of nights accomodation and company in mongering pursuits in my first visit to Cebu. Taking you at your word I didn't bother booking a hotel. Well needless to say you showed your true colours by not showing up and leaving me stranded. I managed OK and have been back in June 2006 and plan again in November 2006 but what a cowardly low life you are. You havent offered any explanation since that date and hide away till 6 months later when you come out from under your rock. All your friendly talk and promises were just that, Bullshit. I reckon you got your right whack. Porty Old Boy

Thanks for nothing you Ordinary Bloke

Poaching another mans lady at one time was an unpardoanable sin, there used to be an un written rule among expats in both Phils and Thailand . I mean with all the available pussy running around why try to snatch another one away from some other guy and cuase all the hard feeling/revenge etc.
I've noticed that younger mongers tend to be more into this, flirting or whatever with your GF/Wife, some of these guys don;t know the rules.

Regards

Thanks for the support SH , Totally agree with you . Even in australia we dont poach our mates girls. He made the mistake and i know he has learnt from it. I had got her into my church there and was on a church pinic at the beach, she never relised that i had people watching out for me. The worse thing was after i kicked her out she went to live in his appartment( he he he)
he was paying 16,000 peso a month and she told him i only paid 5,000 so he tried to move into the appartment next to me. I put a stop to that!!! i did speak to him 2 times cos he called me trying to get me to take her back!
thats when i told him his last name and where he lived there and his family lived here in australia that took me 2 days to get information. Lets just say he was a worried man ! If any other guys read this just remeber what goes around comes around, and what you think is a freebie often cost you twice as much as a bar fine.!!

Thanks for the info on Tagaytay, I will be ok as my filipino Brother of 4 years has new work there as a gm of the Taal Vista Hotel so i will be ok, Just wanted to have some of my own inside on this city.

I suppose i could always bring them down from manila !! (girls) but i dont know what the busses are like or any other transport as i will be traverling there by my brothers car !

Regards Porty.
PS
At least i won't have any problems of posting photo's of her now he he he.
that will teach her. I will down load them in the next week or too just wait ok lang!

I personally found Tagaytay nothing too special, although it is a pleasant break from Manila's heat, traffic and pollution. It warrants a daytrip I suppose. For mountain scenery, the Halsema Highway North from Baguio through the Cordillera is much more impressive.

I've been to Tagaytay twice, liked it, VERY freindly atmosphere, dont forget the horsenback riding. As far as mongering goes I imagine you can meet a lot of local girls, was there with a lady both times got lots of inviting looks etc. The upscale/rich Manila crowd tends to come down on the weekends and many actors/actresses/politicians have summer homes here. What I did notice is a number of resturaunt/videoke/dance combination type places. These were nicer more laid back affairs than the buckets of blood one often finds in the cities.

just came back from mindanao, passed through cdo and stayed overnight
and decided to get out and look around vis a vis the mongering situation.

i found that the main disco "excite" just got a facelift and new management
who have dubbed the place " the pulse" monday night at 10 pm to 11 it was
almost deserted, live band pretty decent, 2 for 1 drink special. probably livelier on a weekend.

next door club mojo was rocking out, a younger trashier crowd. lots of young girls gave yours truly the hot eye, all looked ****.

llmado used to be a lively place for freelancers, dull as ditch carp at 1 am, live band, a few drunk filipinos at the front table. a few un attached females
either frightened off by my fearsome appearance or were with the band.

walked around the streets a bit near the outdoor market and "ali-ali" area in the main part of town which is roped off at night to pedestrian stroll. a few girls all giggly and friendly and a little troupe of transvestites who followed me around a bit, went back to the room and decided cable tv was more interesting.

Made it over here for a couple of days last week. I had to choose between here and Dumaguete, and I went with Iloilo since I hadn't been here before. Would it have been better to go to Dumaguete? Probably, and I really missed the good times that I would have had there plus the diving. But still it's good to venture out of one's comfort zone and explore new territory.

In Iloilo I had a supplier of talent, a fortyish lady whom I've known for 3 years now. ISGers visiting Iloilo can PM me for contact details. She has lots of acquaintances of the sweet and innocent variety, just the type I like to work on. She introduced me to about 7 girls in 2 days, only one of which came through in a bedroom kind of way. But that was enough.

The one that did come through was an illuminating look at Filipina juggling of the truth. At first she was claiming to be the "I ain't never been kissed or touched variety." Then after one beer she admitted she had one boyfriend in high school. After another beer she divulged the dreadful secret that she had been married for a while. I decided not to let her have another beer lest I find out she had been swinging from a pole in Angeles a couple of days before. Anyway, she had enough beer for my less than honorable purposes.

Iloilo has pretty decent nightlife. It isn't in the league of Cebu or Davao of course. But it is sort of tied for 4th largest city with Bacolod (another place I need to get to). So it's gotta have something. Probably the best place is a collection of bars called Smallville. A couple of them are al fresco-like with live bands. One of them is called Pier 16, with a large model ship out front. Smallville is on a street just off the highway coming in from the airport. Near here is a disco called MO2. It's enclosed and has a DJ spinning out the usual POP music sort of hits. These are all the places I had time for in 2 days but I think there are more.

I stayed at Sarabia Manor, paying something like 2600 a night. It's in a rambling sort of compound. There's a decent pool and a gym that you have to pay for. Also on the grounds is an internet cafe and an English language school that caters to Koreans. You may be able to chat up Korean girls that are sitting in the outdoor coffee shop.

Big Fun posted positive comments about Amanpulo (along with photos of his stunning lady).

Thought I would second the vote. I have visited Amanpulo several times. It is pricey but, IMHO, one of the best beach resorts to relax on in all the PI. SCUBA diving is just so so but available.

Beach is even better than Borocay.
