Davao

Guys,

GoodEnough is not a Barney Rubble type at all. He is very affable and easy to talk with and does enjoy meeting people.

I got my so called "dress code" from my Father, a lifelong Fed now deceased, who told me, "appearance is everything". I later learned that a person makes a decision on you based solely on your appearance within seven seconds of meeting you. Of course, if you are a genuinely friendly guy who does not like to dress up, your likable personality takes over and creates a "new" image of you with other people. A very wealthy friend of mine in my city dresses very casual in spite of my upscale appearance. But he is a very likable guy so no one, including myself cares.

For the Marco Polo in Davao dressing up helps and may account for part of the reason they offered me the upstairs private Club at a discount and why they arranged a deep discount for me at the Marco Polo, cebu and the Marco Polo Causeway bay, Hong Kong. Or perhaps it was my winning personality. I doubt it.

I get a lot of compliments on my appearance in Davao and elsewhere. I am also told (once they get up the courage) that I do not look like a very approachable man. When chasing the ladies I try to lose my serious outer image. The rest of the time I don't really consider it.

Getting back to Davao Pussy, I did not see the Ladies of the Night hanging out on the doorstep next to the Karaoke Place just down the street from Casa Leticia on J camus St. I went by twice looking for this group of 4-8 young pros but they were gone. I am wondering if they have relocated to the area directly across from Casa Leticia now that the construction there appears to be complete.

At Ground Zero the dirth of women is passed. I went by here several times and found that from 5:00Pm to 10:Pm this place if teeming with hot, young ladies sitting at tables. Nurses and college co-eds and ladies getting off from work at the Mall on Illustre St account for a large amount of them. There are still semi-pros fucking for tuition and food money. But after 10:00PM I noticed mostly young filipinos hanging out here. I think my posting on this Place (well maybe) has resulted in its success. Two waiters now peruse the outside tables and the six or so tables inside. Music from giant speakers blares out. I like the Place and still drop by although I no longer need the services of the semi pros here. I like the colorful ambiance of the Place and checking all the gorgeous, young women here.

I definitely appears that you do not hold Barney Rubble in the same high regard that I do.

Have a look at the cartoon again one day. Barney is always the loyal level headed approachable one. He's the one who's reliable and is there to help Fred out when he gets himself into yet another batch of hot poo. He never seems to get in trouble himself.

As for looks, well, comparing someone to a cartoon for looks is ridiculous. But if it makes you feel any better, Barney had the hotter wife by a long way. Grrr. Betty. Woof woof![QUOTE=Dragon Slayer]At Ground Zero the dirth of women is passed.
[/QUOTE]Just quickly, I keep seeing reference to Ground Zero in Davao... is it the name of a pub/club, or code for something?

Guys,

Early this morning I was on the internet chatting with Barney Rubble, excuse me, GoodEnough. The subjects of the Kid (my nephew with NYPD) and Brad (of Davao Fame) came up. Barney, excuse me again, GE thinks Brad is "Gone with the Wind". Family illness and Mom's near stroke over worrying about her "baby boy" will keep him home. Why is it both GE and I do not care for this guy now? Simple, he is ungrateful and insensitive to anyone's needs but himself. Narcissism is fine for characters in horror movies. Does not do much in real life.

I told GE to invite Brad to GE's farewell party. Yes, I had both my Cherryl and her beautiful cousin, Leone accompanying me but I felt we could control Brad's primal urges. Here he has GE to thank for finding his place to live in Davao, showing him around town, informing him on the nightlife and keeping Mom from "dying of worry over baby Brad". GE even took him out to dinner and had him over his house. Brad could not be bothered to reciprocate. He could not even bother to attend GE's farewell party.

"GE I am awwwfully sorry but I had a very late night last night. My golly gee but she was something of a woman for me, let me tell you this. I am so awwfully tired now, oh my and my little fella (his dick)is in a bad way. I just have to stay in and take my beauty rest". This is how GE reiterated the conversation to me. I replied, "it wouldn't kill the "big stud" to come by for an hour, thankyou for everything and wish you well". I doubt if his little thingy would suffer further although, after seeing Cherryl, Leone and GE's beautiful friend from Australia (beauty of a white woman if ever there was one), it might grow to its full length of 2 inches and stay like that for the remainder of the evening.

I spoke to the Kid for over two hours last night. Got off the horrible topic of Dad's Estate, my fat sisters, nutcase nephew (not the Kid but Samari Bob) and onto the topic of Davao and Davao Pussy. The Kid told me he is "beginning" to realize that the Rose situation is hopeless. Like Lalaine in Davao, Rose in Davao has a "Cyber Bob" in Maryland with whom she had had a torrid internet romance for FOUR FUCKING YEARS. No, of course he has never visited the Philippines. But she still has "serious feelings" for him ( I get serious feelings every time I see a nude asian girl on the internet.

The Kid has decided (after two fucking years but no fucking) to seek out new pussy. I mentioned Jen's beautiful girlfriend, 23, who used to sing in a Manila upscale nightclub with Jen. She is now living in a remote area and raising goats and pigs (most beautiful pig farmer I have ever seen). She came by one night when Jen, the Kid and I were staying in this seaport town nearby in a rooftop suite. Unfortunately, the Kid became ill and could not meet her.

Jen spoke to her about the Kid and described him. Jen likes him and this gorgeous lady is now interested. Of course, the Kid will most likely fuck it up. But at least he got a chance. Better than listening to Rose in Davao pining over Cyber Tom in Md who is either married or as GE (Barney) claims, living a fantasy life on the internet.

In any event the Kid says he will return in January and station himself in Davao City. It should be fun and I hope some of you get to meet him.

[QUOTE=GoodEnough]... but too embarrassed by this walking slum ...[/QUOTE]I just busted a gut reading that phrase. Classic. Those poor female slumlords.

Blunderer,

Ground Zero is the Name I gave to the convenience store located at the corners of J Camus & Illustre Sts in the heart of downtown Davao City February 2004. It is unique as convenience stores go in that it has about fifteen tables outside with umbrellas and another six or so tables inside. It is a bistro style Cafe / Convenience Store. Its location across from the Hospital and close to three Colleges, including Mateneo University, makes it a hangout for young people age 16-30. Beers can be purchased inside or from one of the two waiters, and consumed at one of the indoor or outdoor tables. Loud music blares from giant speakers and beers cost about P28/btl.

You can eat here (has a bakery with fresh cakes/pies) and consume three beers easily for P150 ($ 3.33). Back in July/August 2004 GoodEnough and I hungout here 3-4 nights per week. This has changes as GE now has his wife and I have managed to meet Jen, Cherryl, Jobeth, Rema and a few other ladies. But back in 2004 we picked up semi-pros and regular girls who would hangout here. It used to close at 02:00AM but demand now has it open 24/7.

Maurice O'Flanagan hated the Place as it is just down the street from O'Flanagan's Pub and took a lot of business away from his Bar. Ground Zero had young women and O'Flanagan's had old expats.

Dragon Slayer

Ah yes, the Slayer and I had some great adventures at this place, which as the added advantage of being around the corner from the "stoop girls" to which DS referred in one of his earlier posts. It's also about a block from a major bus stop which is also a street girl hangout.

You need to be careful though about when you go. The Slayer's info on this is much more current than mine and anyone contemplating a visit to the fabled location should check his earlier post for optimal visiting schedules. The young nursing students and other fresh-cheeked women are only likely to be found at certain times. Later in the night, the bottom feeders take over and the sweet young things are displaced by the lady boys and other Damon Runyan-type characters.

GE

GE,

I lmao at your description of guys at the airport. Yeah I've seen those too. You'd think people traveling would dress up atleast a bit, it doesn't need to be fancy but yea the teeshirts raggy shorts dirty running shoes or torn up sandals are good for a laugh. I'm not a fancy dresser its usually what I call bush pants flying or bush shorts around town there. The type with all the button down pockets so that I can "try" not to get my pockets picked plus its sure handy for carrying everything. A teeshirt around shopping Davao is fairly normal but its not traveling attire. BTW I resemble the remark on white socks as thats all I buy LOL. You'd think those guys too could step into a cr and shave off the 4 days growth.

I know the stray dog thing too with guys in Davao. More then once I had guys come up to talk which is fine and I welcome it. But when they ask me where to find a girl I just shake my head at it. Damn its Davao be nice talk to a girl, have a cup of coffee, eat a lunch, go clothes shopping, they will find you. I guess like you GE I'm just an average looking guy and its also obvious from how I walk that I have a few medical problems. Last time a guy asked me about girls and I told him what to do my wife walked up and after the intro told her hes looking for a nice girl. LOL. After we walked I asked my wife. DAMN do I like have pimp printed on my forehead? She laughed as she knows I get asked that. Even with my obvious problems if I couldn't pickup a girl there within 24hours of trying I'd give up and fly home. The guys that really fry my ass tho are the ones there on a religious holiday or religious meeting that proceed to tell me all about that and then never has it failed they ask where to find a girl. I'm totally non religious, I take the wife to church when I'm there and my son and I walk around outside waiting. I'm sure the concrete would burn with me inside.

GE I'm sure you have seen me post on other message boards I use a different nick on those with a number. Perhaps next time I get over how about a coffee at euro cafe or a lunch there. I have a huge failing for those euro burgers. Many things to do here in the states so no idea when my next trip over will be.

Goose

Goose, it's nice to know that someone out there knows what I was talking about. Thanks for responding. I'm not familiar with the Euro Cafe here, but maybe I know it by another name.

I had lunch today at Swiss Deli, where I often eat with DS when he's here and where I often have lunch since it's close to my office. The place was so jammed that there were no seats upstairs and we had to eat in the new wine cellar/wine bar, which is actually quite attractive. Of course, I had to browse the wine racks, and then I found a 2003 Borolo and the lunch thus wound up costing me $50 more than I had bargained for, but I was glad to find the wine. While eating there, I was told of a new Spanish restaurant that's just opened on Lanang, across the street from Swiss Deli, as well as a new Vietnamese place in the same general location. Think I will check out the Spanish place tomorrow and if it's any good I will report back. I know this is not strictly speaking on topic, but what the hell.

Guys,

Monday brings General Elections of a sort in the Philippines. My Daughter's mother has asked me to contribute to her uncle's campaign for Barangay Captain, a job that pays P1600/Mo ($ 35.50). If I sent him any money he would be far better off to pocket it as a bribe.

Jade (you saw her big tits) is running for City Council. She has been pestering me for campaign contirbutions while showing her huge rack. What am I some Political Boss in the Philippines now? With a rack like hers all she has to do is tell guys for 20 pesos they can see it. For 50 pesos they can touch her tits. For 100 pesos they can kiss each tit. 200 pesos and they get to suck a tit. 500 pesos and she tit fucks them. 800 pesos and she tit fucks them and gives them a blowjob. For 1,200 peos she will blow and fuck them. Girl will get all kinds of campaign contributions. I imagine a few guys on this Board would be willing to contribute.

Two years ago I fucked a councilwoman in the Mindanao who was visiting her Family in Davao City. Enough political fucking for this Slayer.

Dragon Slayer

Ah, yes DS, but the point is not how much the job pays in salary, it's the access it gives you to all sorts of government funds that you can steal, and to jobs that you can provide for every unqualified relative in your family. That's why they're so hotly contested and, in the finest electoral tradition of the country, why so many people are killed around this time. Of course the president has declared a national holiday on Monday for the election, and coupled with the national holidays on Thursday and Friday of next week for All Souls Day that makes next week a two day work week. In a country with an economy that depends on outside funding to sustain itself, no one seems to calculate or care about the cost of the national holidays that seem to be declared each time the president wakes up in a good mood.

GE

Ds, I like parody, and you're the best.

Goose[/QUOTE]Sure, I know the place. I just forgot the name, but believe me there are better places to eat. In fact, there's a new Vietnamese restaurant on Lanang Road across the road from Swiss Deli. We're probably going there tomorrow night.

GoodEnough,

That is exactly what I asked my daughter's mother, "he must be planning on lots of bribes and kickbacks". As to Jade, She can fuck her way into the job. I am sure that is how the beautiful, huge titted Councilwoman I had 2 years ago earned her position. She gave a great blowjob and swallowed all.

Just a week ago Jade said she was broke. I had missed meeting her this last Trip (could not fit her into the starting lineup; did not need my "Closer"). So I sent her $ 50. Ink is not dry on her receipt and she wants a campaign contribution. I do not mind paying for my pussy in "one way or another" but overpaying is not good.

there's a new area that's been only recently developed. it's a small shopping center/courtyard on the small street directly across from swiss deli on jp laurel. if you turn left on laurel just as you're in front of the door of swiss deli, and go up about half a block you will see it on your left. the place is laid out along a square, with one and two story buildings on three sides, much like the venue. in the middle is a courtyard set with cheap white plastic tables and chairs of the type you see in similar places all over the place here.

there are several new restaurants located on the square, including a branch of tsuru, the japanese place next to the casa leticia, as well as hanoi, the vietnamese place with another branch also next to casa leticia. the good news is the new spanish place called hola espana. it's got a wine list of at least 150 bottles of french, italian, chilean, australian and spanish wines, ranging in price from php500 to php27,000 for baron philippe de rothschild bourgogne. it's also go a temperature-controlled, walk-in wine cellar. we had a nice bottle of st. emillion bordeaux for about $30 and it was excellent. served in actual bordeaux glasses, properly chilled, and well presented. the place also had a deli counter with french, italian and spanish cheeses, olive oils, mustards and other condiments. it's got an extensive menu with five or six different paellas and lots of other dishes.

we're going back there to eat tonight because last night we did the vietnamese place which was okay but quite ordinary. this is definitely davao's new wine emporium of choice, and it also sells dom perignon, moet et chandon and probably other champagnes. i also saw a vintage bottle of borolo for about php6,200. the place is owned by the same cebu-based family that owns the chain of l'huillier pawn shops found all over the country. i was told that the family is half spanish and half french which probably accounts for the excellent selection of wines. all wines are also available by the glass, and it's the first time in davao that i've seen a chateauneuf du pape.

for those interested more in pussy availability than wine and food, there were lots of women rep001tered around the courtyard listening to the live (and not very good) band, and when we left at about 11:30, the courtyard was packed. however, the ds hardly needs additional pussy venues, and i'm writing this because of the enormous (by davao standards) wine selection.

we went from this place over to hennys, (de bonte koe) which was basically closed, but henny was still there and we had a couple of drinks with him. chicos, which is in front of henny's on the street side was jumping as was someplace else, which was packed and again, there were several tables of 5-6 women who were obviously non-pros but nonetheless amenable, i'm sure, to a little romance.

leaving henny's, we drove up rizal st. past bar 183, and as usual, it was jammed, with people spilling over into the street. same for the auto mall on bajada, which was so packed that cars were lined up three deep looking for places to park.

this is a three day week end here, followed by a two-day work week, so the city it likely to be jumping for quite a while longer.
