What do you tell the wife?
[QUOTE=Steve Nash;1561692].[/QUOTE]My hat is off to you guys that can pull this off. I never could so I just have a brown sugar come over and visit me 3 or 4X a month here in the USA and save up for my trips abroad. American women just aren't worth putting up with anyways. Once you are used to the sweet, sexy twenty-somethings it is difficult to pound these overweight bitchy motor mouths we have here. As for the dozens of beautiful Filipinas (occasionally Thais, Viets, Cambos, Indos and some Latinas) I see abroad I just tell them I am looking at property on different islands which is true. Plus being in academia I am blessed to attend conferences in those areas once a year or even teach a condensed course there. Maybe find a conference related to your job that you can go to. Happy horndogging!
Manila. Cool Place, Very Cool Trip.
Just back from my brief, but memorable cherry visit to Manila and would like to share a few thoughts in passing. Unfortunately it wasn't much of a tour of duty, as I only spent a few days and will consider this tour, more of a scouting and reconnaissancetrip. However brief, it was definitely, very enjoyable and a lot of fun.
[B]Airport:[/B] Arrived midday at Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and passed through customs quite easily and quickly. No hold-ups, huge crowds or long line-ups to speak of, so all went well and I emerge on the other side of customs inspection / check, with bags in tow, after less then 30 minutes. After hearing the horror stories about NAIA (being on of the worst airports in the world) , I thought this wasn't too bad at all, what's all the fuss about. As I found out later from the taxi driver, it just so happens I arrived on the day of a holiday, so perhaps I got lucky at NAIA.
[B]Changing Money:[/B] Decided to exchange a few hundred US$ dollars at the airport (about 44. 20) to get started, but later learned I could have definitely gotten a better deal (about 45. 0) from some of the many money exchange places, dotted throughout the downtown landscape. So next time, I'll probably only exchange about US$50, and use the downtown money exchangers, for larger sums to get the best deal.
Also noted it was a little annoying that the ATMs only dispensed P10, 000 (US$260) , which of course leads to those annoying bank fees, int'l bank ATM fees and exchange rate transaction costs. Yes, I realize that when using the ATMs, you're also paying for convenience, but I am just trying to minimize these costs as much as possible. At times it seemed like I was at the ATMs every day, like clockwork. Although, having P10, 000 seems like a lot of money, initially. It sure can disappear quickly. Not complaining though, as I had a great time spending it.
Does anyone know of an ATM that dispenses more than the daily allotment of P10, 000? If not, then I guess the next best thing is just to bring more US$ dollars, to avoid as many ATM withdrawals and in turn, the bank fees.
[B]Taxi Cabs at NAIA:[/B] Most of the quotes for fares from the airport were between P700-500. So I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the ISG members whom tipped me to the idea of taking a taxi from departures level. Great tip, saved me a few pesos and goes to show it pays to RTFF. So I caught an inbound white taxi dropping of a passenger on the departure on-ramp and it worked liked a charm. Just tried to remember (3) things; one (1) asked for the meter, two (2) check to see if they cleared the previous passenger's old fare and three (3) make sure the meter it's not running fast (if it's a daytime pickup. If any one these conditions are not met, then grab another taxi.
While, heading to my hotel from the airport, traffic was fairly light and tolerable. According to the driver, road traffic (on this holiday afternoon) was nothing compared to regular days. But I definitely thought otherwise. Cost of taxi was P160, but after listening to the cab driver's sob / family stories (albeit they were somewhat entertaining) , I tipped him another P100. This seem to be somewhat of a preoccupation with taxi drivers, as well as the constant nagging for a tip. I heard a myriad of sob stories to the point of exhaustion, while on my stay, especially from those cab drivers in Manila. Perhaps a Pinoy pastime with tourists? Much like Brazilians ('jeitinho') , who revel in the game of being able to 'take-a-gringo' for as little or much money as possible. LOL!
[B]LA Cafe at 2pm:[/B] I was so excited, I didn't even bother unpacking after arriving. Checked-in, shower quickly and headed straight for LA Cafe (formally MBC). Over the next couple of days and nights spent in Manila, LA Cafe was by far my favourite club / bar. This great little bar provides a nice balance between beer bar, night club (live band) , pool table games, grill / restaurant and sexy Pinoy girls. The only thing missing is a nice go-go-bar area with rooms to match. But really, all things considered, it covers most of the basics any dude could want, all in one place. 24HRS a day. Not too mention at reasonable price!
It was about 2pm, in the afternoon, when I arrived at LA Cafe (on this holiday day) and the line-up of girls wasn't great, but over the next hour or so, things greatly picked up. Spotted a cute dark skinned, sweet sexy spinner, named Sarah. And after a good initial interview, I knew she'd be my first Pinoy. After spending a couple more hours chatting, playing pool and grabbing a bit to eat, we headed back to the hotel. We had agreed on P1500 for short time (2hrs) , but since she turned out to be even more fun, we agreed upon an additional P1000 for longtime, until about 10 am the next day. We bought some ice, booze, and several snacks at the local 7-11 and had a great little party in back at the hotel. (That reminds me, if I never see another 7-11, it'll be too soon).
We sessioned a couple of times before she went home for a change of clothes, came back and we then headed to ZZYZX Disco (pronounced Zee-six and is located within walking distance from the Rothmans Hotel off Adriatico St. At the traffic circle). Although it was a fun, but exhausting fun-filled night out on the town, I mange to session with this sexy Pinoy one more time, before she left that morning.
For the couple days I spent in Manila, this was to be place I frequented the most. I found what I was looking for in LA Cafe, which was basically to have a good time, session with several sexy girls, eat, drink and be merry, without too much running around, looking for P4P in the Manila traffic. Even while hobbying in AC, this was to be my modus operandi (MO). Didn't have too many expectations, other then getting laid by sexy Pinoys at least once a-day (can't believe I'm writing once-a-day, must be getting old, LOL).
The line-up of girls in LA Cafe didn't disappoint. Even though it had more than it's fair share of fuglies, there was definitively more than enough variety of hot, sexy girls to satisfy my every taste and devilish wimps, AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. Albeit, not enough real time to sample and checkout all the girls, so subsequent trips are a MUST.
[B]LA Cafe at 8. 00 AM:[/B] Coming back from an early morning trek (8am) from the Makati area, I remembered reading an ISG report, about an early morning walk, some orange juice (OJ) and somehow ending up at LA Cafe. Anyway while taking a taxi back from Makati, this story popped into my head. So I figured 'why not? ', and directed to taxi driver to take me to LA Cafe instead, so I could get some of my own early morning OJ.
Unfortunately, there's just no getting around the Manila traffic. As at 8am, the downtown traffic was just horrific and annoyingly slow. Anyway not to worry, my traffic blues soon turned into Pinoy OJ smiles. As I walked though the doors at LA Cafe, I was pleasantly surprised at a fair number (about 15) girls, still milling about. Needless to say, out of the lineup of girls still there. 2 or 3 were very doable. Five (5) min. Later, found a hot light skinned Pinoy by the name of Letica. She was a bit of a pro, but had a terrific pretty little ass, that was very inviting in spandex. So after a round of San Miguel Light, a quick interview, an agreed upon P1500 (ST) , it was back to the hotel. She gave pretty good performance in the 1. 5 hrs and left me with a wonderful early morning OJ smile. Awesome, especially after a fruitless hard night's work, in Makati (see below).
[B]ZZYZX Club (Malate / Ermita) :[/B] I had a great time here with my first time Pinoy GFE, Sarah. It's located at the just off Adriatico St. (by the Remedios Circle) and just around the corner from V Hotel (formally the Rainbow Hotel) , which I stayed at. Note, due to the thin walls at V-Hotel, one could even hear the heavy bass playing from the club. ZZYZX has fairly decent music, playing mostly techno with some hip-hop. Looked liked it had some FLs, but couldn't have been too certain, as most of the girls were in groups and therefore possibly just out hanging out, having fun. Since I was with a date, I didn't look to hard. Drinks were reasonable P100 for San Migel Light (I think). Free entrance fee that night (Monday). Closes like 5 or 6am (I think). Very friendly and courteous staff, that went out of their way to my me feel very comfortable.
[B]Salsa St. FL / SW (across the road f / LA Cafe) :[/B] While heading to LA Cafe (from the Silver Oaks Hotel) , on Salsa St, there was a nice lineup of cute young girls, hanging out in one of those make-shift street food dining areas. So one time while walking down Salsa, this shrimpy looking mamasan with little to no teeth was pimping these girls with her broken English. It was all quite funny actually. But I notice a couple of really very doable and nice young girls, that I was thinking of taking. Mamasan was asking P3000 (ST. 1hr) , for the real cutie 19yr old, because she was a "new girl". She then offered P2500 (ST. 1hr) , but my very brief interaction (or interview) with the girl, left me feeling like she might be a starfish and I was kinda looking for a LT session. Mamasan keep pressing the girl (I guess she wanted her commission, badly) , but the girl didn't seem interested.
So your luck of finding SWs on Salsa St. Will vary, as I encountered a number of them at various times on my way to LA Cafe. Also the quality will vary, but definitely some cute girls can be found, as I did on one occasion. However, it should be noted (much like AC) , that after hours at night the LBs and TVs tend to take over the Malabini St. And Salsa St corner area.
[B]DCZAR KTV:[/B] After some much need rest, I woke up around 2:30 am and for some strange reason decide to walk around to check things out, maybe get a bite to eat. Well before you know it I get propositioned by a tout selling a tour to a number KTVs and / or will naturally provide whatever it is that suits my fancy. Normally I ignore these guys, but with nothing else really better do at 2am, I decide to indulge in the conversation some more and hear him out.
Next thing I know, we're taking a P80 taxi ride to DCZAR KTV, with the promise of nude dancers, hot girls and a good time. From what I've read KTVs, do not offer nudity, so I thought that perhaps I would be reporting on a new location with something different to offer verses the other KTVs around the Adriatico St. Area (which were all within walking distance of my hotel). This was to be my first KTV and I had my doubts whether this type of adult entertainment, would be something I'd like, due to the number of reports I've previously read about KTVs. But I'm open to new things, and thought I'd give it a try.
From Malate / Ermite, DCZAR KTV, is about a 5-10 min. Drive away, at night. It is a large size KTV, with a reception area, lounge area, huge stage, large roomy theater style seating and upwards of 10 or more private cabins. In addition to what I thought was a poor attempt at burlesque style decor, the bad carpeting, smelly mildew odor and uncomfortable large layout, immediately turned me off as I entered the joint and felt it was all just a little cheesy.
IMHO, the floor show was terrible. It's almost like they were trying to present this kind of dance recital, with partial nudity. Which again, IMHO, came off looking pathetic, lame and cheesy. Not sure if the full-Monty was ever achieved, as I left maybe 10 minutes after arriving. Frankly is was that type of show where the girls, were more interesting with their clothes on. The line-up of girls from what I remember weren't anything special. And due to poor lighting, it was difficult to see the girls.
The only good thing I can say, was that all costs / prices were explained to me upfront, before entering and any and all questions were answered by management. There was no attempt to deceive me or dupe me into paying costs unknown. So I knew what I was heading into. For my quick 10 minute stay, my total cost was about P1, 000.
• KTV entrance fee is P500. Plus you must purchase at least 1-drink minimum (I paid P150 for water, I think)
• Plus Taxes of 10% Industry Tax, + plus 12% VAT, is applied on top of your final bill. (22% Tax is mandatory)
• So once you step foot inside and sit down, the minimum you'll pay is about P800)
• P800 / hr for private KTV cabin with girl. (Didn't session with any girls, so I am unaware of what type of behavior or activities are acceptable with the girls)
• Taxi P100 (tip incl.) , tout P50 (since I figured he would also get a commission from the KTV)
Personally, I found DCZAR KTV, to be just lame! It was a complete rip-off and waste of money. But I had my suspicions about KTVs and more or less knew what I was getting into. However, I just wanted to see for myself (ie, scratch the itch so to speak). So time well spent. I knew KTV's wasn't going to be my thing (given most of what I've read here on ISG) , although this club was probably not the best example of what could be an enjoyable experience, given the right circumstances. At some point I will definitely try KTVs again, but presently in no rush to do so.
[B]Apartment / Casa Girls at 4am: [/B]After my uneventful visit to DCZAR KTV, I decide to take another side trip to a casa / apartment (or cathouse / brothel). It was about 3:30am in the morning, so I'm not sure if the selection of girls was reflective of the time of day, but the girls were mediocre at best. The taxi driver took me to a casa located at the corner of Edison St. And Faraday St. (Makati). We went into a small compound type place, with small steel warehouse nondescript type doors. One of the security / doormen escorted us into small living room area that seemed to double as a waiting area. As I entered, there were a few girls lounging around, half awake and moments later a few more sauntered in, to form a line-up (about 8 in total) , so that I could take a good look at them all.
Papasan / handler quoted me P4000 for takeout from 4 am until about 8am (could have been 8am the next day, but I don't think it was). I declined the offer and didn't see anything worth negotiating a lower price for. Not to mention the price of P4000, for 4 hours seemed absurd. Especially considering the girls at LA Cafe were a lot nicer (IMHO) , cheaper and willing to sit with you and establish a rapport, while you interviewed them. The seating area in the casa made it difficult to hold any kind of private interview with the girls, which I prefer to do given the chance.
I've read that you can truly find some beauties at these places and apparently Makati is littered with them and a few can be found in Ermita. I know those who really like 'casa girls', like them, because unlike LA Cafe or the go-go bars, you can cut through the BS and whichever girl you pick, will indeed go home with you for the entire evening and night. You basically have until the morning to be with them, in which ever way you deem appropriate. So if you're heading out for a night on the town, catching a show or just shacking-up back at your hotel for the night, it's totally up to you. I can see the appeal and will in all likelihood give it a try again.
Next time, I'll really need to do more exploring, before making a final decision on 'casa girls'. Also it seems, I'll need to get there before 7pm, before the Koreans and Japanese scoop up the best of the bunch. So maybe 4am isn't exactly a good time for acquiring a nice sexy casa girls and I should confine my hunting to the daytime. For the moment all I can report is, that the 4am selection was far from good and IMHO not even worth the taxi drive out there.
[B]Makati Area Go-Gos and Streetwalkers at 4am:[/B] 4am to 7am in the morning, is perhaps not the best time to checkout this area either, but there was sufficient action to entertain oneself. Many go-go bars, clubs and restaurants were still open for business, with a fair number of patrons. Walked around and noticed, a small number of SW, hustlers and touts selling their wares. Not sure the reason behind it, but many of the SWs would initially offer to give you 'a massage' and then when pushed on the subject of providing FS, would ever so gingerly discuss FS options. Almost as if they thought I was a LE agent. Anyway most of the SWs in this area, were below average (at 4am) and quoted between P500 for a short time massage to P1500 for FS.
Although I never felt threaten or unsafe walking around Makati between the hours of 4am and 7am, take note that the area seems to be overrun primarily by TV\LBs, until about 7-8am when the working stiffs are heading back to work. The whole situation is kind of hilarious actually and ultimately reminds me of one of favourite songs,"The Freaks Come Out at Night" by Whodini.
Visited several of the go-go bars, that were still open and took a quick look around, but didn't stay more than 5 min. At any particular establishment. I wasn't really in the mood to stay and hunt in the go-go bars at this time, so I can't really report on much of anything, except to say, I did think the girls were slightly better looking than those at LA Cafe, but had more of a snooty attitude. Not enough time to fully tell, so l'll leave it on my 'to-do bucket list' for next time.
Also perhaps for next time, I'll try staying a hotel, out this way for a couple of days, to really suss out the area. The Makati area, looks like a worthwhile endeavor and full of P4P action and seems like a good place to meander for a few days. Bumped into a fair number of tourists (even at 4am) , so it can be too bad.
[B]Time Disco / Club (Makati) : [/B]Stumbled on this club about 4am in the morning, while checking out the Makati area and walking around, strolling down Makati Ave (I think). Outside the club, I noticed several tourists (guys and gals) taking a smoke and chatting in what appeared to be an Aussie accent. Note even at 4am, I still had to pay a P300 entrance fee, but at least it did include 1-drink. Drink / beer prices are reasonable and a San Miguel was P150. Pretty sure there are freelancers (FL) semi-pro action, as was evident with one really nice big breasted Pinoy teasing, flirting and rubbing up against several of the Aussie of guys. Most of the girls seemed to dress slightly better than those in LA Cafe, but not necessarily that much prettier, IMHO.
Saw quite a few ladyboys (LB) and one of them came up to me unsolicited and whispers P7000 in my ear and then, just like a snake slithers off back into the crowd, from whence he / she came. Wow that was very weird! Anyways not sure what to make of it, so I just ignore it for the most part. But I was definitely on my guard at that point and my 'gaydar' set on high. Despite the LBs, there were more than a few nice girls there for a Tuesday night and more seem to stream-in even later toward 5am. My guess was that this club perhaps gets a number of the girls from the Makati go-gos (and LBs) , after their shifts are over.
Didn't know what type of club it was or what to expect, but it turned out to be a good time spent. On the way out the doorman confirmed it was a straight / gay bar. Overall good music (mostly techno and trance) , OK club, with a decent balanced-mix of tourists, locals, straight people and gays.
[B]Getting from Manila to Angeles City (AC) :[/B]
• From Manila Airport (NAIA). There is a way by bus from NAIA, but wouldn't recommend this option, as it is a bit of hassle and doesn't really save you that much on time or money. If you want the "no hassles" route, simply catch a taxi dropping of passengers upstairs on the departures level. Taxi fare to Victory Liner. Pasay Bus Depot should be no more than P200. Note: There are also other bus lines that go to AC, like Philippine Rabbit, Five Star, Dagupan and have their own bus depots in the Pasay. So let the taxi driver know which specific bus depot your going to, if you have a preference.
• From Malate / Ermita. I choose to take a taxi (P150) from my hotel in Ermita to Victory Liner bus depot in Pasay ([url]www.victoryliner.com[/url]). The trip by taxi was about a 20 minutes, at roughly 10:30am, to avoid rush hour type traffic.
• Victory Liner Bus Depot. At Victory Bus Terminal, there maybe 2 types of bus fares; a non-stop express and a regular fare, for between P120-150 [US$3-4]. Take the Victory Line bus w / air con, to Dau. The buses to Dau (Angeles City) leaves on the hour and sometimes each 1/2 hour. The Victory Line, Dau bus depot, is the final / last stop and is actually located 1. 5 km North of AC and the Fields Ave entrance just off the MNR (MacArthur) Highway. From the Dau (Mabalacat) bus depot / terminal, you can take a trike (P100) directly to your hotel or jeepney (P8-15) to the San Fernado / Maingate Jeepney Terminal. The taxi option is about P2-300. If you take the jeepney option (to San Fernado / Maingate Jeepney Terminal) , you'll have to walk, take another trike (P50-100) or jeepney (P10) to your hotel. Best to use this option until you become familiar with AC.
• Online Reviews of Rabbit Buses. Philippine Rabbit have air con buses to Angeles City (in Pampanga Province) , that leave every 30 min, cost P90-120 and the trip takes about 90 min. In AC the bus terminates at their bus station on Henson St, which is located (3. 2 km. 5 min by car) due south of the Fields Ave / MNR (MacArthur) Highway entrance. [Not yet sure about trikes / jeepneys and cost from this location] Note: Online on Facebook previous patrons of the bus line service, really pan the bus line and sound-off about the smell and the dilapidated prehistoric condition of the buses. As one guy puts it,". Coffins on wheels.". Also pan'd here: [url]http://tourism-philippines.com/philppine-rabbit-bus-lines/.[/url] So not very good reviews with Philippine Rabbit, so best stick with Victory Liner, where possible.
Note: In hindsight, it may have been better to simply take the bus from Swagmans (Manila) to AC, as I'm told they'll drop you at or close to your hotel. I was travelling light, so all the transfers from taxi, to bus, to trike (and jeepney, to bus, to taxi) , did bother me too much. But I imagine, if you're travelling with large or cumbersome baggages, then a taxi (P2500-3000) or the Swagman bus (P600) options, may best suit or needs.
[B]Getting Back to Manila from Angeles City (AC) :[/B]
• On the trip back, simply take your preferred method to transportation to Dau Bus Depot / Terminal and catch whatever bus (P140) is going to Pasay, Manila. You may have a bus line preference, but it's OK to catch any bus going back to Pasay, Manila, as they all take you to Pasay. On the way back (I forget which line I took but) , the bus driver was letting passengers off at various places, like Mataki and Guadalupe. I got off somewhere in Pasay but it was not at the final stop, so I'm not exactly sure where the final bus stop is located. Once in the Pasay area, just ask the driver to let you off at the nearest stop and then take a taxi to the airport or your hotel in Malate / Ermita.
[B]Carriedo Station Area: [/B] On a Thursday evening about 6pm, I decided to checkout the Carriedo area SWs. Despite it being rush hour, passenger traffic on the LRT (P12) wasn't too bad at all and was quite tolerable. To get to Carriedo Station, I walked (about 15-20 min) from my hotel up Gil Pedro and Taft Ave. I took the northbound LRT train (at Gil Pedro Station) and got off 3 stops later at Carriedo. Once on the ground, I became disoriented somewhat and ended up walking through the market place on Carreido St. Which turned out to be a nice surprise and a welcome break from the norm.
The market place on Carriedo St. Runs from Rizal Ave to the Quiapo Church, located at the end of the street. I found this to be a very interesting place filled with, street vendors, clothing stores, restaurants and budget shopping malls selling a wide range of goods and services. Also located, albeit in an overall congested area, are two prominent department stores, the Isetann Department Store and a SM Clearance Store. So after about 2hrs walking around and checking things out, I bought a nice fake battery operated Seiko watch for P150 ($3. 40) , a pair of Havana flip flops P130 ($2. 90) and some other assorted trinkets. Walked down towards Quiapo Church and watched some of the worshipers selling their Christian wares, praying in church and paying their respects. Somewhat of a very spiritual area and certainly more than enough religious paraphernalia for the most pious among us. Definitely a nice to place visit if you're religiously inclined.
Doubled back up Carriedo St. To Rizal Ave and proceeded north to Recto Ave. Throughout the walk all the way up to Recto Ave, more street vendors laced the sidewalks, this time mostly selling electronic goods and gears of every kind. From the latest smart phones, laptops, Blackberries, Samsung Galaxy devices, gaming consoles to brand watches. To be honest I couldn't tell what was real and what was a clone knock-off / fake. Most vendors were as charming as ever and of course claimed their product to be the 'real deal'. Seems to be a good area for buying electronic devices cheaply, if you care to take the risk on the quality of the product, be it clone, fake or real.
It was around 9:30-10:00pm now and while walking up Rizal Ave to Recto Ave, I noticed only a few SWs. There were about 12, so not as many as I thought would be working. Once again it would seem, I've come late to the party and perhaps the daytime action is much better. Anyway, several really desperate looking SWs did proposition me and I declined their persistent taunts and walked on. Also saw, a number of low-end beer bars and go-go bars (some with headline strippers) , dotted throughout the area and seem interesting, but I did not venture in. Many of the girls standing in the doorway or sitting just inside these low-bars, seemed a little better and might be worth the effort, especially with a very very inexpensive Sogo hotel nearby.
The Sogo Hotel on Rizal, what a bargain! What's not to like? Just loved the promotions and deals for their rooms with food packages. For less than $10. Tell me where on earth are you going to get a better deal than this? Got the quick 2 min. Tour from the bellhop and looked into a couple of rooms. As far as short time hotel rooms go, they are a pretty nice. Can't speak to the quality of the food, but it looked OK. What a bargain, I thought it was hilarious.
- Premium P408, DeLux P488, Executive P508 (10-12hrs room, incl. Two orders of Cheese Burgers with Fries and 8oz Coke). Monday to Thursday.
- Premium P424, DeLux P496, Executive P548 (10-12hrs room, incl. Two orders of Cheese Burgers with Fries and 8oz Coke). Friday to Sunday.
The Carreido area was a very nice surprise and I enjoyed the cheap shopping, interaction with the locals and diversity of things to see and do in the area. At no time at all, did I feel threatened, unsafe or in any danger (except for the SW taunts, LOL!). Sorry I couldn't report more on the actual SW scene, as it was getting late, once I actually started checking out Rizal Ave. Since it was my first time to the area, I didn't want to overstay my welcome, as the area has been reported as being somewhat dangerous. Well on the bright side, that leaves more for me to investigate the next time I'm in town.
[B]Manila Conclusion[/B]
For the few days I spend in Manila, I had a tremendous amount of fun, with very little sleep. Apart from the very heavy traffic, taxi drivers telling you their sob stories and the over-the-top begging at times, I had a great memorable relaxing time. The few girls, I encountered and sessioned with, were a lot of fun and performed with high marks. They were energetic, fun loving and liked to party. Typically I'm not a big drinker, but while on this holiday, I did have a little too much when entertaining with a couple sexy Pinoys. Having a drink or two, turned out to be a good thing and proved to be a nice ice breaker, when attempting to loosen things up. A well placed cocktail here, an ice cold beer there, certainly helped to ease the mood and open up avenues of the conversation and invitation. So hangovers aside, it was all for a good cause and a great time. With a good satisfying novice tour under my belt, I can't wait to come back, as it would seem, I have a lot more exploring ahead of me and I lot more to experience in the Philippines.
