Manila

Is there any action in BF Resort Las Pinas?

I will be staying there for a month and would like something local.

[QUOTE=FreebieFan]Off topic I know. But I'm seeking help. I have a phone and if I go to another country and its on roaming. Well if I get a call but can't answer it in time the caller gets a message as in Phils. " subscriber can't be reached " etc.

Well I'm planning a trip but don't want someone to know where I am. How can I handle this. (no not taking the phone is not an option.)

Any techies out there can help. All I can think to do is pretend phone is broken and not take it to said country, tho I realy need it with me.[/QUOTE]G'day FF, We'd love to help but need to request clarification of your question.

- You're a foreigner going TO Phils
- You're an expat going FROM Phils

Which is it?

Your question seems to be how do I avoid the country specific "subscriber can't be reached" message of where you are at the time?

The simple answer is turn your cp _OFF_ when not making/receiving calls.
Even when making/receiving calls its quite likely callers may see your caller ID different to usual & quickly conclude you are not where you say you are.

Low tech solution : Lie, say your normal cp is broken & being repaired (or stolen) for how ever many days is convenient. Turn your cp off & Just go 'off the air'.

You can start your cover story now by complaining a lot every day about your cp not working correctly & mention you may need to put it in for repair... Careful with this, I once did this & a GF bought me a new cp as a 'surprise'. It was very hard to have a 'problem' with my cp after that hehe :)

If you give honey ko different number to use while you're away, you still have the problem of strange subscriber messages on unanswered calls.

Hi tech solution : Buy a 3G cell phone & get a skype account. You can create a skype ID that appears to be a cell phone number (anything you like). Honey ko may be suspicious because caller id may still be a lttle weird but she can't prove it. (Caveat : in some countries, eg China etc, even this will not hide your true location)

Best solution is both the Low tech & Hi tech combined.

* its probably better to post this question in the 'Help & Advice' thread.

I am not sure what you can do about your problem, when I travel to Philippines I am only there for 1 or 2 weeks at a time. Instead of getting a local SIM card I just use international roaming on my home SIM card. I can only guess that the message they recieve is the same message they would recieve if I was at home.

I take it you mean BF Resort subdivision, unless their is a hotel of this name (which I doubt). So you are staying with friends/relatives in a private residence?

If so the short answer is no, their is no P4P action in this place, as it is a residential area. There are undoubtedly bars and restaurants in the subdiv that may and may not have waitresses up to earning a few bucks overtime but this is at best, hit and miss. Out the main gate you are on Alabang-Zapote Road (otherwise known as Real Street) which does have several korean style KTV joints but personally I have never tried them. Best suggestion is to grab a taxi and head to EDSA/Malate/Ermita (about 20-30 minutes by Coastal tollway, depending on time of day), where you will have an embarassment of riches awaiting you.

Hope this helps.

Thanks to Amavida and Bob for replies.

Actually I have a trip to country A...legitimate.. but during the trip am going to country B to see Ms C.

Wife knows Im in country A but not country B . And even if phone is off she will still get a message similar to the one on Phil phones.. ( subscriber cant be reached etc). Its a real giveaway as to where you are.

Think the best answer is to tell not to call under any circumstances because now I just have to fiind the reason why.

[QUOTE=D Etat]I am black and they tell me they don't like this or that.They are like car salemen they tell you what you want to hear. :)[/QUOTE]Just reading through old posts.

D Etat is precisely correct , precisely. To believe otherwise is being naive.

Why not agree to call her at a certain times saying the time differences etc, then you can call, tell her you are very busy etc and then she will not call, or SMS her at times say hi etc say busy and you will call soon...

Or lose the phone

Thanks WR (and great reports. Better than the Daily Mail! ). Anyways appreciate the suggestion to tell her what time I'm calling but some wives just always call at the weirdest moments. Lost count of the number of times that my phone stays silent all day and then the moment I'm in Anito or Sogo or hotels in other countries. There will be an sms or a call. (that for obvious reasons become a missed call.)

But the worst is the early morning " Hi how are you call. ". You can't ignore it as its the time you said you would be getting up, your bleary eyed, breath like a dead frog from previous nights drinking, girl in the bed who you are desperately telling to KEEP QUIET. And your pretending that all is well in the world. The curse of phones!

[QUOTE=FreebieFan]Actually I have a trip to country A...legitimate.. but during the trip am going to country B to see Ms C.

Wife knows Im in country A but not country B ...........[/QUOTE]

Whilst you are in Country A:

Invent a "legitimate Business" reason to have to travel to Country B and tell her some story......

Arrive in Country A, switch off Fone, call her from Hotel and say "for some reason roaming does not work" continue calling from Hotel regularly etc etc.

Go to Country B, do not switch on Fone so it does not register "in country" the get a local Sim instead, give number to those who need to contact you.
Do not call wife.........

Leave the phone switched off in Country A whilst you travel to Country B.

Tell Wife you lost the Phone, go to Country B, get Sim Card etc etc.

Upon returning to Country A, call Wife and tell her the the Hotel Staff found and returned the Phone...

Alternatively instead of "Losing the Phone', how about "Losing the Wife" ;)
or "Watch a few more 007 Movies for more ideas"

Cheers, F/Fifty

Idea 1 : Dump your wife and live free !
Idea 2 : Tell your wife that it's over, but that you will stay with her for the sake of the kids and have your separate life ... and live free !
Both options are hard in the beginning, but make life much happier after ... You are free from lies and constraints.

When meeting girls from DIA, are the chances better with older (30+) or younger girls?

Thanks,

[QUOTE=JoseMarti]When meeting girls from DIA, are the chances better with older (30+) or younger girls?
Thanks,
-JM[/QUOTE]To be honest its about the same overall. if they are on DIA they are 'fishing' as my asawa call's it. Most girls are modest & unassuming. They spend a lot of time on line & in short order have to put up with creeps & wankers. If you say you're gonna be in City 'X' between dates 'Y' & 'Z' you will get a lot of bites. Just sort through them & pick the ones that appeal to you & take some time to chat to them. If you use a little common sense you will have plenty of applicants to 'interview' when you get there. ;)

Steven Spielberg could not have written this shit. Gather around mongers and mongetts this had to be one of the most fucked up nights of my life and I have had some bad ones. I will share as a warning to others the Philippines is what it is.

Took a ride from a neighbor from my exclusive subdivision to the Greenbelt then switched to a taxis as I didn’t want the guy to know I was going to a go go especially when my ole lady is coveted like hell. Any way told the taxi I wanted to go to EDSA.

The taxi driver said EDSA is boring he knows a good place. He claimed the girls were totally nude. I said fuck it what can I lose (first fuck up). I should have known better after the experiences in Thailand. Arrived and the place was dump as expected. (Named BLUE PACIFIC STAY THE FUCK AWAY)Went in and yeah I was main attraction even the manager came to say hello yeeeeeeeeeh. :( I was hassled to buy drinks left and right. Asked for tips which they asked but did not receive.

The manager showed their line up of girls and before I could pick he had selected two for me I said what the hell and had a drink with them. We laughed it up and talked about the same ole topics where you from what you doing in PI and sex. After looking at her frame I said I guess I will take a dip in her.

I told the manager I will take one of the girls to the VIP room. She was sexy nineteen year old. Wide eyed but hardened as bamboo. We got to the VIP room and it was little room with a couch no lock on the door or anything just a little privacy. We fucked uneventful as hell and terribly uncomfortable. Wham bam thank you mam and at this rate I didn’t want seconds I had had enough of this taco stand.

I got the bill and if I didn’t earn what I earn I probably would have had a fucking seizure. I just the paid the tab and hit the fucking door. (Lesson Learned) Oh no kiddies my night was not over yet. Hoped in another taxi and told the guy I wanted to go Pegasus and see a good friend of mine he told me Pegasus was closing and far. I said fuck it take me to EDSA I wanted to see what the hype was about.
Gentlemen I know I am beating an old drum or “fucking a pregnant lady” but EDSA is nice. The people are cool its inexpensive not pressured to buy drinks and what ever you want is available it is your best bet in Manila. Don’t waste your time at the other joints. I saw a little cutie and she wanted me badly as soon as I walked In Firehouse I could see her whispering to her home girl pointing to me. I asked mamasan to send her to my side. We chatted and she told me she liked me and wanted to go home and asked me what hotel I was staying. I never wanted a hotel so bad in my life.

She said bar is closing I don’t want you to pay bar fine wait on me outside. I said aright thinking of where to go for the night knowing I have to get my ass home to my lady. I waited outside and she showed up smiled at me and walked away. I said what the fuck is up and her home girl grabbed her and yelled something to her in a harsh tone which I am sure in neighborhood of you know he has to pay bar fine. After that she said please come see me tomorrow.

I had enough of manila for one night and headed home. The ride back home was uneventful as I thought about the fucked up hours that had just passed by my eyes. We got to my village and the taxi driver couldn’t find my pad. Too me all this shit looked the same it was night and usually my ole lady is doing the looking and talking but I thought the village is small shouldn’t be that hard to find. (Another Fuck Up).

The taxi drive got frustrated and I was too. I paid the guy and told him I would walk. He let me out by the village guards who gave directions and told me to take a trike I am so pissed at this time I just said I would walk. (Last Fuck Up) My village is safe so I wasn’t worried about getting mugged or anything like that so I just walked an walked and looked for my street I usually turnoff.

So far nothing yet. While walking saw one dog on the corner I thought to myself just one mangy as dog not a problem and proceeded forward. As I got closer and closer towards the dog to my dismay there was an army of them. They proceeded to show me who was king. Good fucking thing I am an avid weight lifter and can run 5 miles in my sleep. I ran like hell and the dogs couldn’t keep up. At the end of run dropped my 500 dollar cell phone. Not broke but not pretty anymore either.

WHAT A FUCKING NIGHT. Hailed a trike who took me to my house with the littlest directions like it was his own.
All I Can Say Is WOW

Not to laugh at what could have been a disaster with those dogs especially if one of them had bitten you but from one runner to another that was funny. :D I was visualizing you running while reading your report and you had to been moving to outrun those dogs. However, I’m glad you made it home safely, cell phone and all. Thanks for the story though, sometimes these bad situations are as much a welcome read as the good situations and kudos to you for sharing it. I Hope your next event is more productive for you.
