Makati Musings: Days 2-19: Becoming very "friendly" with the nurses.
So, New years eve was a bit of a letdown in that the girl bars were mostly devoid of girls. I poped my head in to a couple (Fyre, Neon) and no girls. Fyre had a percussion band outside playing I think and I thought pretty decent. O'Reily I went into and stayed there since I thought the waitresses were bar girls by mistake, but they had free food after Midnight at least. Finally I went into Maison and they had about six-eight girls there of most body types, most sleeping. One girl was still standing, although swaying, and enfolded me in her loving arms as I walked in. This was M, a sweet little drunk spinner who I took for the night. She had taken by her account 10 tequila's over the evening and was quite sleepy but willing. We had a little sex before bed but she kept falling asleep but made up for it in several sessions in the morning before she left after noon. I paid her 4 k which we agreed upon and another 500 for above average performance.
Jan 2nd got my sim card (HINT: GET IT AT THE AIRPORT! They know what they are doing there!) at Globe in Glorrietta mall. I walked the 1. 5 km there, and probably walked another 1 inside. This turned out be a mistake since a couple of days after, I had a week of bad leg pain for over exercising my fat ass. In any case, thought I had my phone sorted but I was concerned I did not have a 4 g or 5 g connection, but I was assured that within two days all would work. Well, it didn't. Turns out my old Samsung Note8 was still locked by Verizon, even through it was supposed to not be. I tried switching to my Google pixel 3 but no dice there either.
Now, over the weekend, I met Mr G from England and Joe from down under at Cubano's and where we were drinking began talking to Angeline, a massage woman nicely dressed if not elegant in her early 40's. She offered to show us around the local bar scenes so we did. Secret door would not let in Joe because he was wearing a soccer kit with wife beater shirt (and early too) so instead we spent some time at Buccaneers Rum & Kitchen which had a nice vibe. It was packed to the brim, and I had some convos with nice attractive locals but nothing sexual oriented. Joe the Aussie was drinking a lot (Is there any other type?) and could not be found when we left for Octopus. It was packed too, good music and lights. We ended up sharing a table with a couple of cool local dudes and we just chilled out there for awhile. Just as we were leaving a cutie grabbed my arm in a very caressing way and smiled as we passed by. I did not pursue to see where that would go as I was tired and didn't want to spend any more that night, as well as having made arrangements with Angeline to stay with me that night. Alas, Angeline would prove to be a disappointment. Body was great for a 43 year old but too many restrictions and not much vibe. I was also, starting to cough.
I spent the rest of the weekend mostly sleeping, in part because of some old pain pills for my legs I had caused me to be sleepy and a cold which was waxing and waning. On Monday I did try Ginger Spa, on Makati Ave. Not much indication that anything off menu was available until the end when I accepted a HJ which failed to do the deed. 2 k I think total for body massage and HJ. Tuesday too sick to get my phone working but I did spend an hour with my US telecom, Verizon and they assured me my phone was unlocked but my Globe Sim still not working. Wednesday went back to Glorietta Mal Globe and got my sim sorted on my pixel phone. Had a wait of about 2. 5 hours. During that wait I began to feel real woozy and nauseous (I was eying a near by planter as something to vomit into) with heavy sweating even through I was sitting down and in a AC draft. I almost asked the guard for assistance but I stuck it out and the symptoms began to subside. Indeed, I began to feel better and even a little energy coming back. My fever had broken and I was glad I was finally over my cold, or so I thought at the time. I went to eat some noodles at shop next door and went back to sleep. Early in the AM I was restless and pulled a massage girl by the 7-11 in the Virra 1 building Mara Lou. She is another, nicely dressed 40 ish woman with still sexy body and claims to be a licensed MT. She gave me a nice real massage and much needed relief HJ.
I did nothing Thursday but Friday checked out Wellmana massage. They locked the doors so they have unlock to let you in which I find annoying. Prices were real high just for a basic massage so I left, ate at Handlebar bar and tried Bodytune massage which despite it's bright clean outside, was dark and dingy inside. I got real mediocre massage (600?) and the girl wanted 4 k for a HJ and she was not attractive at all. Very insistence and kept pushing, purposely misunderstanding like sending in an old lady with a condom to give me a BJ liked I asked for it. Eventually they offered me a more attractive woman but I was leaving. I think they prey on newcomers an care little for repeat business. Wanting a massage and relief, I called up Mara Lou for an even better massage and HJ. I do like my massages and HJ's I admit. I like my dick in skilled hands and enjoy the slow build up to my ejaculations'. Saturday I spend the evening at a social event for foreigners and locals at the rooftop Firefly grill. It was nice but I was starting to get a fever so afterwards went back to my condo and bed. Before doing so I did check out Masions and desite not feel so well, almost pulled a cute blondish spinner Clare from Cebu who was new there but I did not. Instead I went my condo and I stayed there in bed mostly with a waxing and waning fever until Thursday late AM when I finally dragged my ass off to a walk in clinic.
They checked my oxygen levels and sent me to the ER at Makati Medical Center. There they found my BP was dangerously low along with oxygen. I had double pneumonia and it had reached my bloodstream and I was in the beginning stages of septic shock. My organs were beginning to be affected, bowels, kidneys, heart, etc. Including my brain. My landlady said I left the condo unlocked and AC on which I NEVER do. After spending most of that day in ER they moved me to ICU for a couple of days and then a regular room finally. At one point I had 8 different IV drips into me and many shots and pills. It was helpful that I had my medications (BP lowering) with me. They think that since I was taking HCTZ (a diuretic medication) and drinking a lot of water that also put things out of whack with me.
Now, when I left for the clinic I suspected might put me in the Hospital so I have a little day bag that I packed with things I might need and I had a moment of clarity and took my sleeping mask which was a godsend in the bright lights when trying to sleep. I became real friendly with the nurses (sadly, mostly male) especially when having loose bowel control and diarrhea combined with coughing makes for a mess but fortunately, they had a lot of diapers and they insisted on cleaning up first couple of times before I was mobile enough to at least take over. I was fortunate my condo landlady was able to get my laptop and a few things from my condo and a few luxuries like coke's and brownies and brought them to me. She stayed for awhile chatting and I must admit, I find her attractive (short and slim) and might pursue her for a more serious relationship. She had been married to and older Aussie who died and left her a widow. We will see, probably nothing will come of it but I am able to retire and relocate should I wish. I can give up mongering if I need too as long a I have an active sex life with someone I am compatible with.
That brings us up to today, when I hopefully will be getting out. My Oxygen levels are still a little low and I have some lingering congestion along with a cough but no fever for awhile so my body is just taking it's time recovering. I think it's been well over a week since I last ejaculated so I am anxious to take care of my long suffering blue balls. I have invited my landlady for supper tonight or breakfast tomorrow am as a way of thanking her. Note, I did pay her 4 k to drive into Makati and get my things, clean the condo, and other errands. She can't drive to Makati on Wednesday or Thursday because of the license plate number restrictions but we will see. She is going bring an oxygen concentrator which the doc here indicated I am going to need to have before they let me out of here. I don't expect for her to relive my blue balls but who knows. I may be older and fat but I am tall, white, and I have a decent game and steady income. I will probably try my FB contacts and see what I can pull with Burgos bars as a backup for tonight.
