I was on a white sand beach (alona) with a dark haired maiden. We were sitting down to a late breakfast after a long night of lovemaking. Everything was perfect until....the fatass waitress pushed a button....

Boomalaka, boomalaka, bish...bom....bah

DD, you should watch more tv when you are in the Philippines. And stop dissing surfer...it's getting old.

Hey Joking, nice to see you back. And what is that boomalaka stuff that you sometimes end your posts with? Funny stuff, although at one time I thought maybe it was a secret code that only Dragon Slayer understood LOL

As to my preocuppation with marriage, its because of the deal I used to have. For seven years I had a nice wife and family life, as well as frequent monger trips. I had my cake and ate it, as they say. An old monger told me that one of the side benefits of being a married monger was that if you banged enough hookers on a trip, that when you came home, your wife was like a new piece of ass, and the sex would be great. You know, he was right!

Eventually, the wife pulled the plug on all this stuff and although everything is amicable and financially I 'lived to fight another day', I do always think about getting that cake back. In the Phils, its quite doable you know....to bring back a hot 23yo. But marriage gets boring in the end and you're right, I might not be so Dashing.

As always, I have to thank the great minds of the Board, Joking foremost among them, for a timely heads up.

Now we better get back to business before Surfer or someone else wants to know what all this has to do with 'Travel Plans & Announcements' :)

Humbly yours,

Dashing Don

I'll be in Manila next week for ten days and will gladly meet up with anyone for a beer.

As usual, I've been corresponding with a lot of girls on FH and have promised to call them all. Its all part of the exciting buildup. The reality: I head for EDSA every night to barfine and only call a few FH girls, which I meet in the lobby of the hotel or for dinner in Greenbelt. I'm just too lazy/drained to pursue it after that although I've had a few exhausting day-long expeditions to Lake Taal. Only on one occasion did I get lucky and spent a few days banging an FH girl, but when I got back to New York, she would call me constantly with sad stories about her Chinese boss that was witholding her salary and other stuff. She didn't directly ask for money but it was enough for me to feel uncomfortable and stop taking her calls.

I haven't been in the PI since July, when I went to meet an 18yo virgin from FH in the wilds of Mindanao; Butuan to be precise. Since then, I've swung through several South American countries. I have to say that the hooker experience in PI or Thailand is much, much, more satisfying than anything in S America. So I'm glad to be coming back.

On the July trip, before going, I was seriously considering bringing the girl back to the US. There was a flurry of info on the Board about how, in the event of the inevitable divorce, I would end up penniless; basically a ward of the state. Well, this time, I had a consultation with New York's and perhaps the United States' foremost divorce attorney: Raoul Felder, Esq. In a nutshell, it isn't so. If the prenup is done fairly, free of duress, and with full disclosure, it will hold up. However, there are many twists and turns in the road and thats where it pays to have a top attorney. For ex, she must choose her own attorney; dont have her sign the prenup too close to the wedding day; and she better not be pregnant while signing it. Otherwise
duress can be construed if she decides to try and break the prenup at a later date. One of the most salient points of the consult was his advice that 'the court doesn't protect someone from making a bad bargain'.

Its been eight months and I'm ready to bury myself deep, deep, in the those golden caves.

Edsa Entertainment Complex near the corner of Edsa and Roxas Blvd across from the Copacabana and Heritage Hotels. Walking distance to the massive mall of asia. Send me a pm if you want a wingman, as I will be in Luzon March 15-25.

I'm travelling to Manila in late March and am looking for hotel and mongering suggestions. I've RTFF and come up with Burgess St as a good mongering place (please add more), but I didn't see any lodging recommendations. I'm looking for girl friendly, etc.

I've mongered down in Bario Baretto (near Olongapo City) before and found several nice places to stay...and with BFs at 1200 pesos for 24hrs, I may go back there as well.

Anyone around in AC in first week of May who may want to do some barhopping?

I am not worried about not finding my way but is always more fun to party with a couple of the guys and it would be nice to put a face to some of the names on the board.

Later

I'll be coming to Manila in mid-April for the first time. I've had mixed results when I mention I'm going to my mongering friends. Some chastise me for not going to someplace more fun, and others think it will be great.

Recently, on a Sunday afternoon in Singapore, I saw a huge amount of Filipino maids outside a shopping center. It was their only day off of the week, and they were all chatting with friends, and eating. I saw some real lovelies there, so hopefully I find some of the same in the Manila area.

One can find that Phenon all over Asia where Filipina maids have only sunday for their Day off. Having worked in Singapore previously and Mongered in HK and KL city, I had some "luck" doing just that. One can usually locate them en masse at the public parks near a CATHOLIC church. great place to pick 'em up (HINT, if you are shopping some times the best bargains can be had among these ladies who lay out a blanket with their wares displayed, cheaper than the local's especially HK).

However. SUNDAY is FAMILY day in Manila and the rest of the PI, so the situation is different, might find 'em at the Mall later on though.

Hi JC: Those people say you should go somewhere "more fun" have likely never been, as the PI is one of the "most fun" destinations anywhere IMHO. People, especially the girls, are friendlier than most anywhere else.

David33 is SUPPOSED to be arriving in Cebu on the 21st from Lima (I plan to meet him after spending a week with the GF who will be taking a SCUBA course in Negros) and you are certainly invited to come join us. IMHO going to the PI and ONLY seeing Manila and Angeles is a big mistake (but MANY mongers make exactly that mistake).

SH: I also hope to be able to buy you a few San Miguels (or Red Horse for that matter LOL!). If you don't drink liquor we can make it Calamansi juice.

Holy Week ends April 8th this year and is to avoided IMHO. Bookings are very tight as so many locals are traveling, and lineups are quite sparse in my experience. Lots of girls at the malls hoever.

See my PM, also are you still interested in going to Tandag? If so I will have to try to get in touch with our "safari guide"

Thanks for the invite. Yes, David often seems to change his plans, but hopefully he'll make his Asian circuit this time. I don't know anything about Cebu, but am going to read through all the posts on the ISG in the next 8 weeks before I go.

I'm only in country for a dozen days, so one side trip would probably work out. I always love good suggestions from experienced mongers. I was in Indonesia earlier this week, and the recommendations of guys like JAD and Menteng were just great!

I've done many of the hot Asian mongering countries, and am sure I'll find something fun to do in The Philippines

[Jaimito Cartero]

WOW! Do you expect the minions to bow upon your arrival?

No, usually they run screaming. :)

Hey everyone,

Can anyone provide more information like approximate dates when the high season begins and ends? Maybe it would be a good idea if those of us from outside the P.I. knew something about a location there that we could say we are living in. I know that the locals consider anybody, whether it be a returning local or a foreigner, to have lots of extra spending cash on arrival from another country. If they thought we were all living there, maybe they wouldn't expect us to cough up as much either! ;)

Thanks in advance!

Just a few things, if you are looking for honeys, either in a bar or freelancers, whatever, it doesn;t matter what the season is, some of the :"Stars" come and go around the holidays but beleive me, these bar owners never take a break from earning money so there is always a task force of poon on hand to service the crowd.

ALWAYS remember that this is a CATHOLIC country and traditional Christian holidays can be a deciding factor in your travel/visiting plans. From the first part of December until mid January the world kind of shuts down and expect slower than usual Govt services IE visa extensions and the like from the disinterested staff. Air carriers may be a bit stressed for seating and the transportation system available to the average filipino (Like buses and intercoastal ferries) are usually crowded.

Now you got Easter vacation coming up, same, same, however, you need to know that soon after that is Graduation time for students. That means summer vacation until Mid June, After Filipino Independance day. i suppose if they is a "High season" That time from April to June can be considered it. Look at your resort areas especially Boracay, this is when their rates are the highest and they tell me it is the most crowded. Rates start getting back to normal end of June which is when I usually visit/travel. Just my own observation, it seems to me there are MORE FOREIGNERS here End of January to March, at least Cebu/Mindanao anyway.

"Summer" also means that a lot of college age sweeties are going back home from the big city or are bored hanging around and may be looking for some action.Also keep in mind that when they go back to school tuition is due and they start thinking of naughty ways to earn extra away from Mom and Dad back in jungle land. Also remember that just before the Holidays people are trying to earn more. ASIDE: I was Xmas shopping for Mrs Spamhogs present around Dec 15th in a crowded Cebu Mall and was approached THREE times by freelancers who wanted to squeeze my weasel if I played Santa early.

Do some research on Philsnews.com in the city you are planning to visit, are they having a trade show? Summit meeting, election, convention? That means hotel space is gonna be scarce.

Last thought, Typhoon season is at its peak October/Nov, expect floods and usual disasters, flights canceled etc. The central Visayas up to Manila is hit the worst.
