You're right about the good times being addictive. However, I've seen many come crashing to earth when they come to an end.

Btw guys, for those that can not afford a big lay out you can buy life insurance for your girls water buffalos from me. Premium is a little higher because of the high mortality rate of the water buffalos.

How funny is this. A hooker I know has just scored a 10-day holiday to UAE and Egypt with a rich monger. On business class! She's also a student at LUP.
She still wants to fuck me though for 2,500 PHP and said she will meet me at NAIA on my next trip. I won't be taking her business class, that's for sure. Maybe a meal at the Filling Station.

AC Bargirl. In 2014 Needed money for an annual registration, risked 3 k to send to her. Next visit she met me at airport and stayed a few days. Still get priority service at her bar.
Province girl university debt. Paid off her final charge due to the governor not actually delivering the scholarship money. Ongoing companion for my annual island visit.
Repeat visit from a Ac massage girl, paid her upfront at Walking St, agreeing to see each other in ten minutes at my room. She was ever seen again. Lost P1 k.
The only hard and fast rule is don't send to strangers. And just be aware even a repeat performer will turn at any moment.

Article today from "The Australian" newspaper, which is conservative in its views.
EXCLUSIVE.
DAVID MURRAY.
NATIONAL CRIME CORRESPONDENT.
12:00 AM January 2, 2019.
Australians have become the "No 1 target" of investment scams run by a web of foreign nationals operating from The Philippines, a private investigator has warned.
IFW Global executive chairman Ken Gamble, who has exposed a series of "boiler room" schemes in Australia and abroad, said The Philippines was the new "scam capital of the world". He is seeking a meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte to hand over dossiers on more than 150 Americans, Canadians, Britons and Australians using the country as a base for fraudulent share investment schemes that begin with cold calls.
Fraud figures cited by Australian authorities underestimated the scale of the problem because of a reluctance of victims to report *financial crimes, he said.
"Thousands of Australians are being called and a lot of them are converted into clients," Mr Gamble said. "There would be hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of unreported fraud. ".
Mr Gamble is investigating Manila scams on behalf of defrauded Australians who in some instances have lost their life savings. The scams typically involve companies purporting to be reputable financial advisory firms with exclusive access to discounted wholesale shares. The firms are legitimate, but the shares are not.
"(In one case) they were targeting just Aussies and they completely Australianised the scam, which is the first time I've ever seen this," he said.
"Your average, honest everyday Aussie is falling for it. They're getting these high-pressure cold calls that say, 'You can invest your money. This is much better interest than the banks'.
"They're just selling the dream, basically. They're slowly sucking dry all these families that are *retired, have got their super. ".
Australians reported losing $340 million to scams in 2017, a 13 per cent increase on the *previous year, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission's latest Targeting Scams report says. More than 200,000 scams were reported to the ACCC and other government agencies that year.
Mr Gamble previously pursued Gold Coast conman Peter Foster over a multi-million-dollar sports betting scam. His firm has an *office in Manila and he was involved in police raids last year on three separate boiler-room operations run by foreign nationals.
"They're all interconnected, they're all assisting each other with leads," he said. "It's a big family. They all know each other, they socialise together, they drink together. They all help each other, they all warn each other. ".
Philippines scammers had "come to the realisation that Aussie cops are never going to go after them", Mr Gamble said.
"Australia is the No 1 target country. They've got call centres ringing people all over Australia on a daily basis. ".
Investors are passed through a chain of more senior members of the syndicate. "After they've lost everything, the recovery room scammers start. They'll call up and say the company has been shut down, there's been a tax audit or in some cases they purport to be investigating the fraud.
"They say, 'We've got a class action against this firm, your name is on it and you've got to pay so much money to join'. ".
