1. Always lock up your wallet, I pad, I phone, passport in the safe deposit box.

2. Walk around with local money only plus maybe a $100 dollar bill in case you need more money.

3. Never trust anybody. Even if you have been with a girl repeatedly.

4. Girls take every advantage if you are careless. They know police will not chase anybody unless you are bodily harmed.

[/QUOTE]5. Never, EVER get too drunk.

These applies to every country even in my home country USA. Of course laws are strict there.

Only one time I was robbed of 3000 pesos by a nurse. Me and her spend at least a week together whenever I come here..[/QUOTE]All good advice for sure. I am not prone to the same mistake twice so I think I have learned from this experience. The only saving grace is that it will be nearly impossible to use that IPAD since it is password protected and most people do not have the knowledge to crack.

Thanks for the great advice.

So after my bad experience I was almost tempted to just spend my time here when I was not working, jerking off. At least my right hand will not steal from me. I gave that option up since I have caught my right hand cheating on me before. I met another woman from FC last night. She was part Chinese and something else and was very tall at 5'10'. She had great tits and was thin which is the way I like them. She told me there would no sex but she would love to meet me for dinner. So of course after a nice dinner and several drinks, no I did not get drunk, I took her back to my monger hotel room where we proceeded to do the nasty. When I say nasty I mean she was rimming me and taking shots of my manly goodness to her face and loving it. She left this morning and it only cost me about 3000 pesos, which is what we spent an dinner and drinks.

I must say I am getting many hits off of FC and will be setting up more dates after today. I am here for 3 weeks so I plan on getting laid every other day.

I have not yet been to LA Cafe and other monger havens but will try to make it over there early next week.

Hi friends,

I will be in Manila on 24th December. I have few girls in hand via PinaLove. I had a good success via La Cafe in my last two visits. Although La Cafe will be open on 24th Dec, will there be many girls? As Ph being Christian country, many girls will stay home and any advise is welcome.

One time my own iPad would not turn on and I took it to a repair shop in the mall. He hooked it up to a PC and told me to come back in 30 minutes. Also that apps and memory would be deleted. He didn't need my pass code. 30 minutes later and cost of P900 my iPad was ready to go.

True to her word my 19 year old showed up after work. Excellent sex 4 times. Her virginal pussy is so tight. Besides she is a sweetheart in behavior and showing affection. Only thing is does not like public being together. I can understand that. She is a regular girl not used to being with everybody. She was introduced to me by another girl and this one likes me a lot. She said last time she had sex is 5 months ago with me. She said as long as I come twice a year she is happy with. She is waiting for a factory job in Taiwan. I told her I will come there if she is working here. Since she works lots of overtime hours I was not sure if she can meet me. So I had a 26 year old from Samoa lock who looked good in her profile pic to be with me. I had to break her heart by giving some lame excuse.

So long till next time in Philippines.

Like anything in life if you are smart need to learn how to live in a Mongerer world.

As a first time visitor, I thought I would share some of my impressions of Manila. I came here directly from the USA, the beginning of a 10 week trip thru SEA. I choose this city first, because I thought not a lot of sightseeing type stuff to do, and was; t sure how my body would feel w / the time change, so OK to just lay around relax for few days and not feel like I was wasting time.

I stayed at the City Garden Grand hotel, which is in Makati, adjacent to P. Burgos st. The hotel itself was fine, occasionally they would ask to register my guest, sometimes we would just walk in as a couple. As far as location, knowing now what I know, I would have chosen a hotel much closer to greenbelt mall area. The reason being that while I found the Burgos scene interesting, I much preferred to be in Greenbelt area, as I spent much more time there.

My first night I arrive at midnight flight and don't go out until 1:30 AM. Just wander around. Many ladyboys. Enjoy a few drinks at one of the bars, enjoy the company of a lovely girl, but don't want to pay that barfine / and her fee as I'm very tired. So finally pick up a very tiny street girl and call it a night. Eventually have to kick her out at 9 in morning.

The next day I wander around little, nap some more, and eventually head out for dinner, figure I would go to Greenbelt mall look around and find place. So I eventually get myself a table, enjoy dine er and chat with a few girls. To eat. Now when I first researched Manila, in non-mongering way, they keep saying how going to the mall is a big thing, in the states I hate malls. But the city is so chaotic, crowded, polluted and hot that the malls were actually welcome relief.

I wander about and stumble upon Havana Cafe, and say, yes, I remember reading about this place. I watch for a bit from afar and realize that yes, there are definitely some working girls there. More to come.

So I eventually meet someone who I had great chemistry with and after several drinks away we go. We would meet up again on another evening and it was even better. I will leave out the gory details, but I will say that all the girls I met were very pleasant, allowed multiple times, activities were very horny / good actresses. All would stay for as long as you want in Am, and had to be asked to leave. I had several girls from Havana cafe, and, for me, it was my favorite place because of the interaction. But that is just me.

I would go to Burgos st in the afternoon. I wound up at "twisters" I believe is the name, very interesting. Have 3-5 mostly naked girls all taking turns kissing you, you kissing there breasts, all while getting a hand job. And yes, you could finish. Interesting memories. I did go once to Cowboys at night, it was right after I had a nice dinner, I was very tired and had no intention of taking anyone, but wanted to see the place for myself. Wound up talking / drinking with a stunning girl. She was wearing what I called a receptionist dress, not the dancer or waitress attire. I assumed she was there just for the drinking / fondling. But she said no, she could and wanted to go to hotel. Not sure if it was true or attempt to make me stay drink, but I was exhausted and left after 2 beers.

So I went on the social website Badoo a few weeks prior to my trip, wound up talking w / lots of girls, some obviously working, some looking for real relationships. Many potential opportunities, but also a bit of work. Eventually I only met up with one, a housekeeper / child care provider who could only meet on day Sunday. I agree and we meet at 10:00 AM, Wanted to sight-see etc, she was game, I did realize that she was looking for Relationship" and was honest about only being here short time. We see a bunch of stuff, have a great day and eventually some fun. I really enjoyed her but how much can you really believe from any working / or non-working g girl?

Anyways, these women are incredibly beautiful, friendly and passionate. They were great. The city itself is just too crowded, chaotic and polluted.

Right now I am in Palawan island. Incredibly beautiful if you are interested in non mongering activities. I will go to Angeles city in a few days and see what that is all about. Thanks for all the info prior to my trip.

Haven't been there in a few years as I stick tomdatimgstes whatever LAC: groovy nice yesterday afternoon. One stunner at sight, she prepped Koreans but left with me. Felt proud. I am picky of the 9's?

I am early 40 ies trained, gold champ and I don't care much for big age different (in another work I say straight what I mean. I hate it. Estonian girls are fabulous. Eastern euro is close call why dive to phils?? GFE GFE GFE.

It seems that you got good service from this small repair shop and it turned out OK for you as far as you know.

However, there is a clear understanding among all my friends that whenever you leave anything with these small repair shops you should stay there and watch and wait for him to complete the work, especially if you have a genuine iPad bought from a reputable manufacturer.

It is very easy for these guys to switch out your "genuine and valid" parts for some cheap imported part and then they can up-sell the genuine article to someone else.

I know of this happening.

30 minutes is not long for you to wait for him to complete the job, but it's plenty of time for him to do the switch and you will not know until the second-rate part fails, usually after you have returned home.

I find these small operators excellent and very knowledgeable about their work as they are all a bit "nerdy".

I have had great repair work done by them, but I always stay there and watch them like a hawk and ask them to explain to me what they are doing. I know it seems sad to have to presume everyone is a "crook" but these guys are very enterprising and will do anything to make a small profit, especially if they think you are just a tourist and passing through.

[QUOTE=Sammon;1949935]This guy trusted this girl because she gave him a head in the movie theater. [/QUOTE]Chalk it up to an overpriced BJ and hope for better value next time. We've all overpaid at one time or another.

My iPad is still working great after a year or so. I have used this shop many times before and after this.

Can't speak personally of this specific scam ever happening to me, as I do most of my own tech work, but my LT girl here absolutely refuses to leave any of her gadgets (tablet, cellphone etc) at a repair place for pick-up. At first I was a bit annoyed by this, but apparently it is the common practice of repair people here to substitute any possible part for a lesser part before returning the item as "fixed. " Same girl gave me a story of how the dude that was fixing her washing machine regaled her with his adventures in accumulating lost jewelry from clogged washing machine filters. In explanation of why she fired him. From a western perspective, it seems bizarrely improbable; but the idea of building a reputation is, as far I have observed, almost totally absent here. Any minor short-term opportunity usually trumps valid business practices / common sense / repeat business. I heartily second all of RK's advice for exactly the reasons he describes.

In an off-topic anecdotal semi-relevant example: I stopped by a local sari-sari the other day on the way home to a grab a beer, and was charged 9 p for a bottle deposit. The standard bottle deposit here is 2 p. Do I care about 7 p? No. The interesting facet is simply that the vendor would rather overcharge me for a ridiculously small gain, once, than have my repeat business. And I buy a lot of beer. The assumption that you are a tourist is a factor, but it's also reflective of a total lack of future thinking, relationship building, and what would be considered a normal amount of simple personal honesty; vs. "give me money po. ".

In contrast, the one vendor I buy basically all of my excessive amount of beer from, now, is the one guy in the neighborhood who would sell it to me during election week, when alcohol sales were apparently banned. He has my loyalty, because fuck those twits that didn't want to make a sale to a frequent customer because of an ostensible and unenforced temporary prohibition. Perhaps unsurprisingly, he is the most successful retailer in the neighborhood. Not because he is willing to sell beer under a ban, but because he has enough command of logic that "I promise not to vote," loyalty to a long-term customer, and complete a lack of relevant law enforcement, appealed to him logically. Incidentally, I don't believe he was selling any alcohol to Filipinos during that period, but he was able to comprehend that a farcical and meaningless ordinance might be better ignored in some circumstances. Also perhaps unsurprisingly, he has lived abroada common trait among those of this country who demonstrate actual reasoning skills.

Which would bring me to the amazing fear that almost all Filipinos have of any kind of authority, no matter how retarded; and my missing Thailand (long live the King) where the laws may be more puritanical, but no one in the general populace gives a flying fuck about them. Love that place. I digress.

Anyway, wandered vastly off topic, but for sure: Do not leave your electronics at a repair shop unattended, nor yet allow home appliance repairs without watching them in close surveillance mode. I know it sounds misanthropic and ant****ially untrusting, but that's the way it is, and no one will bat an eye at your "paranoia," because petty theft is recognized as a de facto parameter here. In other words, a level of service-person scrutiny, that would be considered insulting in western cultures, is accepted as normal, so don't be afraid to protect yourself as no one will resent it, it's not only expected but if you don't you're potentially defining yourself as a soft target. Irritating lessons learned.

Also, keep your hands on your valuables, particularly in crowds.

'nuff rant. Peace out, brothers.
