Travel Announcements Only (No questions or comments please)

Its nice to see you back, rewriting my personal history as usual. My god, I'd love to be in court listening to your summations. Imaginative stuff I'm sure.

But its X I'm worried about. You see I'll be in Manila at the same time as he and we both frequent EDSA (usually Firehouse and Cotton) and this means that the pickings will be slim for him. I'll be with a friend, a big Californian and will be easy to spot. Well-dressed, smiling, spending lots of cash and surrounded by the girls. X, (flip-flops, cargo pants, last week's t-shirt, three-day-old beard) probably won't stand a chance. Poor guy will end up watching Flip television all day...this is what I'm afraid of; a ruined vacation. I can just see the joint communique from you both: 'Manila ruined by Gringos!'

Yo X, I thinks I got the solution for ya. There was a guy here a while back, Hilton Cowbyoy, a failed poet, who used to cruise the byways in an SUV with a mattress in the back. That might be an idea. You could rent one near the airport I'm sure. The price would suit you too. Try them vegetable markets way outside Metro. Thats where the action be at. Wanna keep everyone happy is all.

Holla,

I wish I knew how to contact Cowboy and tell him that the PI threads are again safe for those who contribute (since Guinness and Prov were banned, all is well).

"Poor guy will end up watching Flip television all day." to which I have two comments:

(1) second only to your obsession with me (now redirected at Xman I guess) is your proclivity for using racial slurs (you will recall our very first interaction was my response to your derogatory comment about all the "poor blacks" in Cartagena). In addition to Chinese, Puerto Ricans, Eskimos and Blacks, we can now add Filipinos to the ethnicities you have insulted on this board with racial epiteths.

(2) from reading his reports, Xman appears to be an adventurous type that likes to get off the beaten path and, accordingly, ALMOST SURELY spends less time watching the TV than you do with your multi channel cable package at the Mandarin Oriental in Makati.

Surfer, your posts are riddled with inaccuracies as usual.

Last time I checked, Guinness was a Senior Member in good standing with an unimpeachable posting history. Your hostility towards Guinness, who has contributed early and often, is unfathomable. Could it have anything to him calling attention to that picture of yourself, that YOU posted, that showed your very small penis? And the worldwide speculation that ensued? At this point, I'd like to ask Guinness to repost that pic so that the readership can see the source of Surfer's angst.

Yo X, I know your'e out there. Stop hiding behind Surfer's skirts. Be a man. Step up.

Don

With a big guy? Hmmm. You're starting to sound like that guy on the Davao thread.

As for your imaginative description of me, it's pretty close, but I never wear flip flops. As for shirts I generally go for the polo knock offs that I bought in Thailand a few years back.

The SUV...I almost spit my coffee all over the computer when I read that. Thanks for the morning chuckle.

while he was not technically banned like the third member of the triumvirate of shame PROV, he was put on some form of restriction whereby all his posts are reviewed by Jackson BEFORE being posted. Since then, he has stopped posting as he ONLY EVER posted to flame and start flame wars between third parties.

Since that glorious day, the discussion has returned to women (rather than "topping" and penises, the two topics most near and dear to you and Gayness).
Until you posted in this thread that is, and resumed getting the thread off on tangents like your failed marriage and your paraphrasing the comments of a divorce attorney in New York. Scintillating as YOU may find those subjects, I doubt ANYONE pays $20 to Jackson to read your advice on dating and marriage (two subjects you failed at miserably!)

Since you are a creature of habit, perhaps I should aleret Ace Gallant to your impending visit so he can speak with his "agent" who works at your preferred Hotel to snap a few pictures of you returning to your suite with as bakla in tow LOL!

I'm feelin the heat, no doubt about it. The unholy alliance of Xman and Surfer have me in their sights. Can Ace Gallant and the Chinese computer hackers be far behind? Any minute now, some of my old enemies will pop up to take a potshot, of that I'm sure. What to do......?

Ok, Surf. I need your help in choosing a hotel. Lets put the fisticuffs aside. This will prove whether you are the contributor to the board that you say you are. I'm not interested in the Mandarin because there's no lobby to speak of. I need a place thats close to the action, but not the Bayview because thats full of japanese mongers and anyway, I banged the controller from that place. Must have a nice pool and a decent gym and the rate shouldn't be more than $400 a night. Also, there must be at least one nice restaurant on site so that I can interview the FH girls. They'll be stacked like the flight patterns over JFK, so there has to be a nice public area, you know what I mean.

Depending on your vast knowledge and experience, Surf,

Thanks,

Don

I whish we could keep this thread for travel plans and announcement. I would guess some guys here know very well what I am thinking of.

Hope these links can be useful

[QUOTE=Dashing Don]Surfer still hasn't assisted a monger in need of a place to stay in Manila next week, despite a very public plea by me. It took a while to figure out, but finally the penny dropped: Surfer is in mourning for his old friend, Ace Gallant.

Many of Surfer's 'reports' in the past, have referred glowingly to Ace Gallant. In fact, Surfer used to urge Ace Gallant to hunt me down, as Ace Gallant was known as the one who got Stanley Ho fired from his job in Singapore, for some cyber infraction, and reportedly had millions of dollars at his discretion with which to hunt down mongers that he disagreed with. There was no mention of whether Stanley Ho had a family to support and whether by getting Stanley fired, his family suffered. No, Surf's posts show him to be firmly in Ace Gallant's camp. My infraction was that I suggested that Ace Gallant start a rickshaw business on Burgos Street in Makati City. For that, I was marked for death. Surfer totally concurred.

Ace Gallant received a 30-day suspension for threatening to kill a fellow poster with a M-800, whatever that is. Me? I'm nostalgic for the old days, when a monger got banned for being obnoxious, like Junior and On The Go. Things were more innocent then. Just think. If you're a Serial Antagonist, you're banished for life, but, if you threaten to end a fellow poster's life in some horrible manner: you get 30 days.

Surf, we got a new justice system. Guess what? If you dont help me with the hotel, I'm gonna punish you so bad you'll wish you never crossed me. First, you're gonna wash Xman's four-month supply of unwashed socks; after that, you'll wash Dragon Slayer's empty wine glasses--rumored to number in the thousands; and finally, maybe, you'll become a contributing member of this Board, instead of being a member who never met a flame war he didn't like.

Uh oh; I'm sorry X. Is this becoming old? I'm just trying to have a Conversation. Lets communicate.[/QUOTE]Dashing Don I can tell you that recently I have requested assistance with Davao Hotel information and both Surfer and XMan were very helpful, ver helpful indeed, maybe its time to give them a break and talk more about girls Women and the beautiful creatures that they are. He He Regards Vidda

Hi all

I have been reading the forum when I could for the past few weeks knowing I am headed to Pi.

Any suggestions for me and my family (young) to stay in Manilla, I am looking for a good hotel with a good pool, less than 90 us a day?

I am planning to see some WWII stuff for a couple fo days before we head offf to another island, any suggestions on what to see?

If the hotel was near to the fun areas that would be a bonus as the family needs a great deal more sleep than I.

Also are there good dentists like in BKK in Manilla or Cebu? I need some work done and would appreciatte any help.

Happy Mongering, hope to see you in the trenches.

You probably need a taxi to get anywhere, other than the park next door, but this is a nice place with a decent size pool. I think it's the same owner as the Amazonia club. If you go back about a year you can find some pictures I posted.

Help plz :)

I am coming to Manila for 1 Month in October,

If I fly to Cebu 1/2 way thru my vacation would that be classed as leaving the country before my 21 days expire?

Or will I still need a Visa?

No. You need to get that visa extension because you are still in the Phils. But you can do it in Cebu City as well as in Manila.
