If you communicate with regular middle class and up Filipinas, you may see a much different picture. Very feminist, activist are all around. Many of the province girls are not articulated to understand the concepts, however as they move up in the class, everything changes.

Few foreigner guys manage to understand what is so different about Filipino women. Or women from other ASEAN countries.

The big difference is that the feminist movement never got into Asia. The women here are real women.

For guys from Western countries, your women are feminists. The feminist perspective on men is that they are a toxic necessity.

The male person is one who the woman marries, has two kids, then divorces and cleans him out of his assets.

That is the entire function of the males of the species.

But in Asia, men and women are equal.

That is what makes them so different.

Right on, G. Are you still in Subic, sir? If so, hope we can do some brews when I am there in October.

LM,

Life is a series of missed opportunities. We only go around once, brass ring, and so on. But, you are very talented, and it sounds like you are doing better than most. Kudos.

Have come to realize that "A bad day fishing (in the Phils) is better than a good day working (anywhere else)."

Smiles,

I just reread my post and wow, there was a lot of typos. I was using a tablet at work and the auto correct took over a little to much. OM, somehow I think I'll find a way to come back to see my Stella.

Thanks for the kind words. Also, to the new adventures, do your homework and don't be shy about what you want when talking to the girl or manager.

Watching from a far for now.

Lunchmeat,

You are getting a picture about Pinays. I have found them to be very sweet and caring. I have noticed that when they are with me in the mall or grocery store, they will always insist on caring the bag, even if it is very heavy and hot outside. I am old but not frail so that isn't the reason why they carry the bags. They just feel like it is their duty to.

One time I had a beauty 8. 5 with me that I had been with at least 4-5 times. This was our first time out to the mall and I bought her something small and light weight. As we exited the store she hands me the bag to carry, I am like WTF as this was the first time this has every happen to me in pinay land. So about 100 meters later I decided to test her, I handed the bag to her and bent down to tie my shoes then got up and resumed walking with her. About 3 meters later she hands the bag back to me to carry. LOL. At that moment I decided she was never going to go beyond our sex tryst, which she was great at!

*** Since I've been back home, I still chat with her and I would like to go back and see her someday, but the likelihood of that happening is very slim to none. I was lucky to have been able to go the PI this time. My wife let me go to the PI as a onetime trip with the guys as a retirement gift. My GF here thinks I was on business trip in Hawaii (she would be more upset about me going to the PI than my wife).

I couldn't understand before how guys fall so hard for PI girls, but now I'm starting to get it. IMHO, I think one of the things that helps them get their hooks into you so fast, is it the fact that so many of them speak good English, more so than that in other Asian countries. I think that if my GF here Korea (5 years now) could speak better English, I might be tempted to take things to the next level and run away with her.

Well that sums up my trip and had a very nice time there. Maybe someday I'll be back. I will look at the PI forum form time to time just to reminisce.

I came, I saw and I mongered.

Day 3 Evening Report (4 March Saturday): Once my lovely Craigslist (CL) girl departed, had my first drink of the day and waited to meet up with my other friends. Our plan was to go to LA Café and get something to eat, drink and maybe someone to take home. Only one of my friends was going to LA Café, as the other one want to gamble (waste of time and money if you ask me). The two of us got an Uber taxi and it worked out just great. We arrived and it was different than what I pictured it would be (but what place doesn't look different than what you imagined when it's your first time in the PI). We got a seat at the bar and ordered some food and drinks. Our waitress was a short, plump sassy girl with a lot energy (cute in her own way). She quickly got us a table off to the side of the bar and we eat and drank. The place was packed with FL girls and we had to shoo a few of them way before my friend saw one he liked. She hung out at the table with us and she introduced us to a newbie girl and they were just hanging there. The new girl was not attractive at all, but my friend bought his cute girl a drink, so I but the new girl one too. When the new girl finished her dink, I ask he if she could go somewhere else and her friend said that she was with her. That's when I had to explain to them and my friend that I'm not in interested in her and if she keeps standing at our table, a lot of the other girls will not try to catch our attention. She got the point and she left and my friend was getting very cozy with the one he had. She was cute and had a lot of energy. My friend told his girl that he wanted to have her overnight, but he wanted to sample the goods. She said sure, and they went to a ST hotel nearby. I wasn't feeling it there and I sent a message to my CL girl and asked if she wanted to come back to meet me at the hotel and stay the night. She said it will take about an hour and a half and she will be there at around 11 pm. She arrived at about 11 pm and we talked and spent the night together. My biggest regret was that I drank a little too much because I think I could've enjoyed myself / each other better had I not. The next day we said our good byes and got ready to go to the airport. Since I've been back home, I still chat with her and I would like to go back and see her someday, but the likelihood of that happening is very slim to none. I was lucky to have been able to go the PI this time. My wife let me go to the PI as a onetime trip with the guys as a retirement gift from the Army. My GF here thinks I was on business trip in Hawaii (she would be more upset about me going to the PI than my wife).

Thanks all for the help.

*** While walking there I held her hand and she was making various affectionate jokes about us as a couple. I liked being with her because she is smart, articulate and confident. *** she was joking with the sales lady that I was her ex-husband and I was trying get back together with her. LOL. I told her that I'm always looking for a future ex-wife. We walked back to my room and next few hours was very passionate as we satisfied each other's needs and cravings several times over. She asked to take a short nap and I let her sleep for about a half hour. I woke her up and she took a shower with the door open and kept joking about how I couldn't take my eyes off of her (she was right).

P.S. I think I was falling for her, if you haven't figured that out by now.

Day 3 Morning Report (4 March Saturday): I got a good night's sleep and woke up Saturday morning feeling good, but was disappointed about the two sessions I had the day before (see day 2 report). Before I headed out for breakfast in the hotel, I decided to send a message to the mature lady I meet on day 1. I asked her if she wanted to meet for lunch and about a half hour later she agreed, she suggested we meet at MOA Starbucks at 12:30. I ate a light breakfast and prepared for my meeting. I got to MOA and she arrived right on time and she looked just as good as I remembered. We were looking for a place that served pasta and settled on Italiano's. While walking there I held her hand and she was making various affectionate jokes about us as a couple. This is why I like to see more mature women, they know how to hold a conversation and just relax (for the most part). I liked being with her because she is smart, articulate and confident. She carries herself with a lot of class and sophistication. We had a nice lunch and walked around the mall a little. That's when I remembered that she said she likes chocolate, so I told her we need to find a place to buy some. We found a stand that had various chocolate bars, she was joking with the sales lady that I was her ex-husband and I was trying get back together with her. LOL. I told her that I'm always looking for a future ex-wife. We walked back to my room and we didn't waist much time with small talk and next few hours was very passionate as we satisfied each other's needs and cravings several times over. She asked to take a short nap and I let her sleep for about a half hour. I told her earlier that I was going to meet my friends around 5 pm. I woke her up and she took a shower with the door open and kept joking about how I couldn't take my eyes off of her (she was right). As she parted, I have her some money so she can maybe get something for herself next weekend for her birthday.

P.S. I think I was falling for her, if you haven't figured that out by now.

Day 3 Evening Report will come soon.

Nice report. Can't wait for the next one!

Day 2 Evening (Friday 3 March):
I jumped a taxi and headed back to the hotel. On the way back to the hotel, I really started to miss the time I had with the mature lady on day one.

Day 3 will follow soon.

Later,

I didn't have residency when I bought the bike. As Sam14 has said, you don't need much in the way of documentation to buy it. I don't even remember if I had to whole my passport.

GE.

I did not show any passport etc, if you have the cash someone will be happy to take it from you LOL.

Seriously I used bank transfer and all the dealer wanted to see was proof of funds prior to purchase of the car.

Thank you very much to you and other guys who answered my questions.

[GoodEnough]

But you have a residency right? I am just a visitor. I want to buy a motorcycle instead of renting one. I will than sell it. I noticed that the places rent the bikes are not too reliable and their prices are too high to keep the bike for a long time. Can you give me some more input please?

I've bought several vehicles here, including a motorcycle and all I needed was a driver's license and money. It's not at all difficult to purchase and legally register a vehicle. In theory, to drive a bike here requires a special license. In practice, no one seems to care.

GE.

If you have a bike, you need to renew your LTO licence once a year. There are not many controls, but sometimes 3 times a week, and than no controls for some months. They want to see a valid driver's licence and this LTO paper.

[Sam 14]

Costs about 5-6K a month to rent in the places that do it, like Dumaguete and Bantayan. But most places don't have rentals so you shouldn't count on being able to rent. It's not like Vietnam or Thailand where it's cheap and everywhere. You can buy a beater for 30K on OXL or Sulit but unless you find a foreigner seller it will probably be hammered and not safe or fun to ride. Also it may be a pain in the ass to get it legal at the LTO. You can easily buy something new like a Wave 125 or XRM Honda for about 50-62K and easily sell it for 35, maybe 40 when you leave. (I don't remember if I needed a licence to buy, I think just passport). It takes about a month to get the temp plate and technically it's not legal to ride until you get the plate. But everyone does it anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. No one cares about residency. Bring your valid M1 licence from your country and easily get a Phil licence at the LTO. You won't get flogged for not having a local licence but it's easy enough to get so why not. You can do it in 1 day and it's not expensive. I wouldn't want to visit an LTO in Manila, Cebu or Davao, I'd try to pick a city with an LTO that's not a madhouse. Or else obtain an International DL in your place.

Remember, the up side to owning is you have the freedom to go places and see stuff that you never would otherwise. Also you meet girls in places that are off the track. The downside is you got that anchor around your neck. So if you want to transfer to another island it can be a big hassle with the ferry issues and having to haul your stuff over land. So if for example you're just going to be in the Visayas, for less than 4 months, you may be better off to just rent.
