Thanks for the info. I may have an opportunity to use it soon. However, in the past I had problems booking online with Cebu Pacific. I would get all the way to the end of the reservation process, then it would tell me that my credit card was rejected. Never had this happen with PAL (same card). Did you need to call your bank and have them approve transactions from Cebu Pacific, or did you use some other magic?

I have noticed that Cebu pacific bookings with a Visa Card go through just fine. I have never been able to complete the transaction using a MC. Cheers

Never had issues with Cpac but always with PAL. LOL.

The only issue is booking multiplre tickets with different dates on same booking, did this once and really screwed me up, but a quick call and then was OK.

Depends what card. I use HSBC no issues on CPac but PAL big problems. Also CPac I can buy for Cebu favourite and she does need to produce a copy of the card when she cards in.

Maybe it is the bank so call and ask but I prefer CPac. Even though last time it was 30 mins delay and even the p; ilot was unsure which gate for a while. Fortunately he found the right aircraft

Just to add some more information as I use Cebu Pacific all the time...

Irony Monger,

I have had this several times, as I guess many here have also.

What I do is to tell the damsel that I will buy her ticket, then email it to her.

You can not do this with PAL, but I think you can with Cebu Pacific. Maybe others.

Then see what she says.

It guarantees that you are paying no more than the real fare price; also makes sure that she cannot cash in the ticket - only you can. It also holds her to her promise.

Good luck,

IM,

Just to add some more information as I use Cebu Pacific all the time.

You can but CPac tickets online with your credit card. Book in her name using your email address. Then send her the ticket and tell her to print it off. She can use it and if she does not she cannot cash it

Only issue is that now CPac will not refund you but keep this in an account for 90 days. But at least she can't cash the ticket

PAL on the other hand will insist that the person with the ticket produces a the credit card that was used to pay for the ticket. If that person is the same as the ticket holder very simple but if that person is not the same person then the girl needs a copy of your credit card to show at check in. A real pain (well it used to be until I switched to CPac)

Or. Wait until you arrive and if time permits go and pay for the ticket yourself using a credit card at PAL's office and then she can be sent the Loactor (ticket reference number) and can board without the need for the credit card copy. Sounds complicated. Well for an old bugger like it is and sometimes you want the girl there the same day

Hence I use CPac (and it is generally cheaper) and I am happy but I know some who prefer PAL. And don't think sausage and mash is cuisine.

Thanks GE and Gangles (sounds like two parts of a barbershop quartet!).

This particular girl has lost her place in line, and there are plenty waiting to take her place. Funny, if she had quoted an honest price I might have actually been sympathetic.

[GoodEnough]

The reason that so many girls think that guys will fall for the nonsense is that some of them do. Either they're blindly trusting, stupid or too struck with "love" to doubt the dubious motivations of their cyber loves for life. It's sad but true. PT Barnum knew what he was talking about.

I've been chatting with this 24 yo beauty on DIA for several months now. Seemed very sweet, never asked for $$, sent quite a few pics (non nude). Always very pleasant, with a hint of naughty. Anyway, I got some time off in early Dec and a lot of frequent flier miles to burn, so I decided to plan I PI trip.

I wanted to finally meet this girl, so I let her know I was flying out, and arranged to be in Makati at a time that she would be there. Booked my flight, made hotel reservations, etc. All was fine.

Suddenly she has a "family emergency". She needs to fly back to her province right away. She said she would still like to see me, but it would cost her PHP 6000 for the round trip ticket from her province to Manila to meet me. WTF?!

A quick check of both Philippine Air and Cebu Pacific shows that the real cost is under PHP 2k. So she is either a) expecting me to fly her first class, b) asking me to pay for her and someone else (freeloading relative or pinoy BF), or c) will actually be staying in Manila the whole time and just wants me to send her PHP 6k to see if I am a sucker (it's probably c).

Anyway, I write back saying that she should be with her family in this "time of need", and to not bother flying up. Maybe I'll catch her next time. I then pour myself a drink, log onto DIA, and in under 2 hours I have the numbers of 4 other girls between the ages of 20 and 26 in Manila willing to meet me. Plenty of fish in this sea. Why these girls think we will fall for such obvious lies is beyond me.

Guys,

I dined three times at Carpaccio's for lunch and twice for dinner. Magnificent! The new GM ffor all their Restaurants in Makati is from France. He s at with myself, my infant daughter and her beautiful mother. Nice guy. I love this Restaurant. I dined at a couple other places but the horrible storms and flooding kept me from Fort Banifacio and the many fine dining places there.

I think I was snubbed by two om my Pals from ISG, both of them making sorry excuses to pass on my invitations for a Champagne Evening, lunch with us at Carpaccio and dinner. Reason for this? Not sure! My not so winning personality or perhaps my infant daughter "getting in the way".

Had a wonderful time and it was great to be with Devinia, my now 4 month old baby. She IS adorable and has a smile Politicians wished they had.

Thanks GE,

I'm not familiar with that hotel so will definately try it out on my next trip in December.

I'll be in Makati in December too, and will certainly try both Ci Cou and Carpaccio once I get sick of pancit.

In other words I'll be dining there immediately.

[GoodEnough]

Bolly Boy, if you're into French food and don't mind the cost, try Ci Cou the next time you're in Makati. It's in the Hotel Celeste in the ground floor.

Thanks for the Carpaccio recommendation DS, I went twice during my visit last week and am very impressed. A little off the beaten track, but well worth the time to find it!

The Risotto was truley excellent, and I loved the wall of vintage Barrolo's (wonder how much all that lot is worth!)

Unfortunately, on 2 visits to my previosu top slot (Je Suis Gourmand) I was less than than happy and Carpaccio now has my top slot vote!

It makes staying in Manila bearable. My favorite restaurant in Makati is Ziggurat. Specializes in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisine, but also has some Mediterranean cuisine. Serves about 25 different Indian curry dishes, and has about ten varieties of rice to serve, Ethopian injera bread to sop up your leftover curry sauce, plus mango lassi to drink. Has a bunch of kebab dishes to try, but I never partook. It's located on a side street off Makati Avenue, between the City Garden Hotel and the Burgos St/Makati Ave intersection.

Guys,

In my free time since coming home I have been playing around on the internet and chatting. I met this one Filipina who is absolutely gorgeous and has big, lovely tits and a fantastic body. Lives outside Manila and I spoke to her over the telephone a few times.

After the first couple of phone calls I mentioned a little about sex. Then, this morning, I awoke early and decided to call her. She was getting ready for bed and happy to hear from me. I got into a little bit more about meeting her in Makati next Trip and how I wanted to kiss and suck her huge, lovely boobs. This resulted in her replying, "honey when we are together you can do to me whatever you want". I made a few comments about sucking her boobs and sticking trousersaurus rex inside her lovebox and she replied, "how big is your dick, honey". I told her honestly that he was not too big, I mean compared to a bull's dick he is quite small. But still I told her and she replied, "oh honey, so big, I never had one like that (hear this one occasionally)".

Ended up getting her so excited that she began masturbating over the phone and screaming outloud as she came, saying outloud, "oh honey,ohhh ohhhhh I'm cumming, I'm cumming. I want your huge dick inside me, fucking me now, ohhhhhhhhhhhh"! Hope she lives alone as she will have a bit of explaining to do in the morning if she does not. Have to tell family members she had this wildly erotic dream after the pancit and rice from the night before (other women in the family will be devouring tons of pancit and rice afterwards).

All this from a young woman, mid 20s, educated and working in a professional field. And we never met yet! Have to check my work schedule and flights soon as I am starting to be like a "Giant Pogostick" as my dick is now constantly the size of some third world countries.

After the recent "episode" on the Cebu Board I am suspending all photo attachments indefinitely. Just have a very bad feeling after Mr Creepy came into my Forum. So none of her photos that she sent me will be included at this time.
