Forgot to add. They celebrate annual anniversaries, months-aversary, and weeks-aversary. "Westy me and my boyfriend is having a 13-weeks-aversary this week". Thirteen weeks together? "Yes". I see. Does your boyfie know about this? "Yes of course". Just checking.
Interesting video on pinay phone use in relationships, from YT vlogger Irish, AKA "Smart Girl Philippines". Topic: The thing that will break up your relationship with your filipina.

Warning, Irish is a bit more crass than Filipina Pea.
2:30 "And her little f*cking phone is the thing that will destroy your relationship". The phone will not only be her lifeline to everything else, it will be used by her family and others to wring money out you, and for her to flirt with other fellas (probably Goferring).
5:00 She will use her phone to make you a prisoner to your phone. She will constantly msg you asking for you to take and send selfies (proving to her that you are where you say you are) and to do other tasks that force your current attention to her, while she is elsewhere. She will not reply to your messages instantly, but she will get upset if you do the same when she sends you a message, even if you're at work.
6:10 She will want to carry on long conversations with you when you are apart (and you are busy), and she will want to converse via phone chat / msg.
7:05 Her phone is not your friend.
7:15 Establish ground rules for phone use while together: 1) No phone use in the bedroom. 2) No phones while eating. 3) No conversations over chat (conversations only in person, or on vid chat). 4) No unsent messages.
7:35 Establish that you want a relationship with her, not her phone.
8:45 She doesn't get to check your phone. You don't get to check her phone.
While everything above makes sense from a western perspective, the advice given by this pinay goes directly to the heart of filipino culture. Pinoy seem to have a cell phone glued (or sewn into) their hand. They sleep with it, I've effed girls here who held it in her hand at the time. They live on FB and games. Most of my mates (and myself) have one or other pinay in his life here who might never be broken from the habits the author claims. No phone while eating? No phone in bed? If you break a pinay from these habits, is she still pinay?
Fine members of the board: any recommendations on fun places to be for New Year's Eve in the Phils (or SEA in general). Doesn't necessarily have to be hobby related, although that's a plus for sure. I like large street festivals, open air parties, and the like (like Rio Brazil). Also need some plausible deniability why I'm there, so AC is kinda ruled out. I've been once to this fair land of plenty (Manila, Cebu City, AC) and also looking to hit a nice beach for a few days before or after (may Boracay or Palawan), but I also see recent positive posts on Sabang / PG. Thanks for any tips in advance, and always up for a meetup with beers on me.

This kind of practice I have seen in Manila and Cebu, is it caused for poverty only? I doubt it.
Happy hunting.
Gents of the board: any recommendations for where to spend New Year's Eve in the Philippines (or SEA in general)? Looking for somewhere with a lively open-air atmosphere, like a street or beach party (Rio was great). I plan to hit one of the beach resorts before / after, so any suggestions there are welcome too. I'm guessing there'd be many options in Manila for NYE, and I'm reading good things about Sabang Beach / Puerto Galera for beach time (with good hobby options as well). Wondering whether creek out to Boracay or Palawan is worth the effort. I have about 10 days available for this trip. Many thanks in advance.

[/QUOTE]Hey, that's slanderous. I have full respect for guys locked in mom's basement, sending girls money every week, paying her rent and replacing the phones that die on a regular basis, without even meeting her. I think building her a house before he even arrives is an excellent way of ensuring her devotion, loyalty and chastity.
Pinas would never fukk around behind his back while he and 10 other simps think that she is at home watching telenovelas.
There are no opportunities for an enterprising guy to become a side dick for pennies on the dollar while Daddies are funding her lifestyle. Personally, I've never been interrupted midcoitus and been told to be quiet while she takes a call. I've never gone on holiday and thought it amusing when languages changes throughout the day as various regions wake up and come online. Nope, never happened.
Enjoy. G.

I'm a PI fanboi but this is one area where it can't compete. Go to Thailand.

As G mentioned, I'd probably stick to Thailand.
Boracay might be great but it can be hit and miss. Sabang will probably see you alone as all the Koreans will have swept up the talent in advance.
Having said that, NYE in any place is usually a time for celebration and anything might happen.
Oh, and Sabang doesn't really have a beach these days.

Does anybody else have this issue lately? In the past 2 weeks while on the ISG website, my antivirus constantly pops up and blocks something related to "malvertising".

Didn't happen today.
As the clock has just ticked over to midnight in Australia, I'd like to wish you all a great Christmas.
(Sorry, we don't have the politically correct terminology here regarding 'Happy Holidays' . We're not a religious country really. Christmas is all about friends, family and having a good time).
Anyway, a big thanks to all those who have offered others valuable advice over the past year. It really is appreciated.
We all have different desires, intentions and objectives. But we're all on the same page.
On a lighter note, I'd like to congratulate you all for being compassionate and helping out those less fortunate than yourselves over the past year.
All those bar fines, lady drinks, tips and other cash we've all dealt out, has helped to pay for a family feast, helped some poor kid that's not your responsibility, pay their electricity bill, get their nails manicured, keep Korean business owners turning a profit and the list goes on.
Without your financial help and support, these girls would be a lot worse off.
You're all champions for assisting a very worthy charity. I hope, like me, you enjoyed the ride _ Phil.

I'm more than happy to do my part.
All.
Merry Christmas.
I had to take a TB test recently and my blood test came positive. Had to follow up with chest Xray and other tests. Looks like I may be having LTBI. No symptoms but latent. Getting some more tests done. As I was discussing with my doc, he mentioned that Phils has the high incident rates of TB in the world. Just all of you mongers out there, please take care and get your tests done!
