hi,
this is a continuation of my diary, written in march/april this year when i was in philippines. the first parts of it can be found in the manila and angeles sections of this website.
day 9: cebu
i had an early start next day. i picked up my laundry from the hotel (very steep price) and then swiftly packed. i left sabang at 9am and arrived at the airport in manila early afternoon, via a combination of jeepney, trike, ferry, bus and taxi.
the flight to cebu took just one hour. at the airport in mactan i jumped in to a taxi and told the driver "eddies hotel", chosen from this site because it is in the heart of the bar action. the hotel is now called beverley boutique and although it is aiming to be more upmarket, it is still girl-friendly. my room had air-con, cable tv and cost 1400 pesos per night which included a continental breakfast and a flirtatious 40 year old receptionist.
although it had been a long day of travel, i felt surprisingly full of energy. maybe it was the thought of all of those sweet cebu girls i have read about in thommo's epic diaries?
my first chore was to get some money out at a nearby cash-point. like all atm’s i encountered in the philippines, the maximum withdrawal was 10,000 pesos. i had dinner at a small steakhouse and then headed back to my hotel to get ready for the night ahead.
as i walked back, i was approached by two freelancers along gen maxilom avenue, opposite mango square. one of them was very obviously a ladyboy but the other was a pretty young girl, with a teasing low-cut top showing off a nice pair of tits. although street-walkers represent more of a security risk than other (traceable) girls, i like the sleaziness of picking them up, the speed of the procurement process and the bargain-basement prices. get lucky and there are gems to be found. one of the most memorable bangkok babes i have ever been with was picked up from a street corner in nana. on this occasion though, i decided to decline her advances. given the fact that i had only just declared myself fit after my recent injury, i thought i would be pushing my luck taking more than one girl on my first night in cebu.
my plan for the night was to explore the gogo bars on gen maxilom avenue. so far i had visited gogos in manila (commercial and expensive), angeles (plentiful and exciting) and sabang (small but surprisingly good). i was eager to see how cebu's gogos would compare. i threw on some smart clothes and walked the short distance past iglesia ni cristo church, to the t-junction at the top of the road. opposite the junction are six gogo bars. from left to right is viking, bg's bar, viking next door, erik the red, hot rod and sisters, while on the other of the road is papillon, love city, dimples and pussycat. ten bars to visit in three nights - the things i do in the name of research... :)
i decided to go to erik the red first. it had a sophisticated feel with lots of red sofas and the music was at a volume where you could actually hear yourself think. on the down side, it was 8.30pm when i arrived and i was the only customer. that's not necessarily a problem when visiting gogo bars (choice of girls etc) but it felt like the place was waiting to get started. there were only two girls dancing and most were sat on the couches, chatting to each other. a pretty girl joined me with a nice smile, nice body and nice personality (appropriately, her name was nice). when it was her turn to dance she let her hair down and had masses of long curly hair and was a sexy mover.
two korean men walked in and, completely ignoring how gogo bars normally work, asked the mamasan to line all of the girls up in front of them. they don't mess about those koreans! it gave me a chance to see the girls and immediately i spotted two great lookers. one was a cutie wearing a red bra, while the other was a stunning blonde. wow. there were 15 girls and the standard was excellent.
i hadn't shaved for a few days so nice stroked my stubble and said "you're gwapo". i told her that if she paid me 1000 pesos, she could take me for short-time. she laughed but sadly didn't take me up on my offer. my san miguel light cost just 60 pesos and nice's lady-drink 150. all in all, a great introduction to cebu's gogo scene.
next i went to hot rod, which seemed the liveliest on this side of the road. it had a great layout with a square stage surrounded by lots of sofas. the girls weren't as pretty as the previous bar but there were more to select from. before i'd taken a sip from my san miguel (p60), three girls sat with me and a waitress asked whether i would like to buy each of them a lady-drink. smiling, i told her that i only buy one lady-drink per drink i have... so who would be the lucky girl? all three girls seemed good fun but there was a stand-out choice, sat alongside me to my left, staring at me with big dark eyes.
her name was ann, one of the cutest girls i have ever seen in a gogo bar. i guessed she was 18 but she was in fact 20 years old. as well as having a fresh-faced appeal, she was wearing a revealing top that showed off large boobs. innocence and a killer body - perfect! her lady-drink arrived and cost a ridiculous 300 pesos because apparently i had agreed to an expensive brand of tequila. in fairness to the waitress, at least she offered to take it back and replace it with a regular tequila (which of course i refused because i didn't want ann to think i was a cheapskate).
ann hugged up to me and told me that it was her first night. 'yeah, yeah, i've heard that one before' i thought. whether it was true or not, i was smitten by this girl. she was so sweet and innocent. even though the night was still young, i didn't want to let her slip through my fingers, so asked her about the bar-fine. the fact that she didn't know how much confirmed that it was indeed her first night. a mamasan told me it was 1700 pesos but annoyingly on top of that you must pay for a minimum of four ladies drinks (p600). since i had already bought ann a tequila for p300, it meant i had to pay an additional 300 pesos as well as the 1700 pesos 'bar-fine'. i don't like being stung for extras, i think it shows a short-time mentality from the bar. nevertheless, pay i did, how could i possibly resist?
i could barely contain my excitement as ann disappeared off to get changed. it would also be my first action since my accident in angeles. i crossed my fingers that everything would go to plan.
it took just two minutes to walk from hot rod back to my hotel and the security guard gave me knowing smile as he opened the door. when i bar-fine a girl early, i don't mind taking my time, so we cuddled on my bed and watched cable tv for an hour. when we started kissing she told me that she was shy because i was her first ever customer. i believed her this time. after lots more kissing, our clothes lay discarded at the foot of the bed and we were naked. she had the most perfect tits i have ever got my hands on - they were big but not massive, soft but not droopy and her nipples just begged to be sucked. by now i decided that i couldn't wait any longer, so reached for a condom from my bedside table. then she dropped a bombshell - she told me that she was a virgin.
at first my heart sank. i thought maybe she was a ‘cherry girl’ who had taken me right to the brink before telling me that her pussy was a 'no-go zone'. but that wasn't the case at all - she only told me because she wanted to please me and was nervous. i told her that there was nothing to be nervous about and we could take it as slowly as she liked. she was such a sweet girl, i really wanted to make her first experience a memorable one. after some more kissing, she lay back and with a little effort, i eased myself in to her. her pussy was tight and she gasped each time i pushed a little deeper. it felt great and she seemed to enjoy it too, smothering me with kisses.
i flipped her over, so she was on top, as i wanted a view of those wonderful tits of hers. however, she couldn't lower herself on to me (inexperience), so i had to go on top again, penetrate her, then hold her hips close to mine as we rolled over. she rode me like inexperienced girls do, but it felt fantastic having my face pressed in to those gorgeous tits of hers, sucking her nipples. when she leaned upright, what a view! she caught me smiling and asked innocently "what? am i doing it wrong?". i assured her that she was doing just fine and she gave me a big smile. you've got to love girls like this.
from past experience, when a girl tells you in a club that she is new, you can probably take it with a pinch of salt. it's often just a ploy to make the girl seem more appealing. however, i was pretty sure that i had just liberated this sweet girl from her virginity. and best of all, she seemed to love it. i was her knight in shining armour and she was my fair maiden. sir lancelot was riding again!
we fell asleep hugged up to each other and i reflected that my trip was back up-and-running in spectacular fashion.
day 10: cebu
what a lovely girl to wake up to. i made sure i took her phone number before she left and gave her a well deserved 500 pesos tip. i had a feeling i would be seeing ann again.
my main task for the day was to book a flight back to manila for a few days time. that would give me two more nights in cebu, ample time to check out some more gogo bars, as well as a few other things i had planned.
for lunch, i walked ten minutes from my hotel to robinsons mall. i wasn't impressed with its namesake in manila in terms of picking up girls but this place had a different atmosphere. downstairs is a large food-court surrounded by lots of small canteen-style restaurants. as i was choosing my food, i saw an old guy wearing a t-shirt with 'i make cute babies' written across it, not even trying to disguise the fact that he was on the prowl. i bought a ham and cheese slice and a cinnamon roll from bob the baker (for just p25) and then sat down at a table in the middle. this place has real pickup potential. there were plenty of lookers, a lot of whom caught my eye whenever i glanced in their direction.
sat nearby were two girls wearing blue uniforms, presumably on their lunch-break from one of the stores upstairs. just as i was thinking how pretty the one facing me was, the old man with the 'cute babies' t-shirt approached her and whispered something in to her ear. she shook her head and then, after he had made a swift exit, spent the next five minutes blushing and laughing awkwardly with her friend. she was really embarrassed to be hit upon, not surprising considering she was surrounded by people she works with every day.
guys, please show the girls the respect that they deserve. use 'mr cute babies' as a benchmark for how not to do it. if you do see a girl you like, be discrete. apart from anything else, you stand a much better chance of success. thommo's approach is perfect. talk to them (if possible somewhere quieter, away from prying eyes), charm them and then discretely hand them your cell-phone tag. clumsily confronting girls as if they are prostitutes (like 'mr cute babies') is tactless, disrespectful and unlikely to yield results.
mindful of the fact that i had spent a lot of time on this trip visiting gogo bars, my plan for the evening was something very different. i got taxi to down-town cebu, firstly to have a wander around gaisano mall. it's a typical large asian shopping mall with plenty of pretty shop attendants. although the food-court was quiet when i visited, i got lots of cute smiles as i walked around the stores. i reckon there is a very good possibility of picking up girls here, especially given its location. it's not hard to imagine some of the girls working here (down-town) wanting to supplement their income by spreading their legs from time-to-time.
but my main reason for being down-town was to visit jonquera, what thommo describes as 'sleaze heaven'. if you don't get a taxi directly there, it can be a little tricky to find. locate the intersection between jakosalem and del rosario streets and the entrance to jonquera is 100 yards south, just after a small mj art sign shop on the right. you will get pimps approaching you asking "girls?", looking for their small cut. i walked past them and in to the narrow road, intending to survey the scene for a while.
it's just about as down-trodden as you can get, pretty much a slum with thousands of people living illegally in a small space. i was the only non-filipino but never once felt threatened. the narrow road led down to the famous basketball court, which was very busy and seemed to be a meeting point for residents, especially the young. these days the 'action area' for girls is just inside the entrance to the narrow road (near where the pimps congregate). i bought a beer and sat on a plastic stool as the sun started to set. i got chatting to a surprisingly well-spoken local who explained that customers used to be driven down this narrow street in a taxi to select a girl, but these days the customers wait at the entrance and the girls rush out to meet them.
i sat for nearly an hour and then finally at about 8 o'clock, a customer arrived. a mamasan clapped her hands and about ten girls magically appeared from the surrounding houses and stood in front of the young korean man. there were three quite attractive young(ish) girls but he didn't like what he saw and left. the man next to me told me that they charge 1200 pesos for short time, although i'm pretty sure that the real price is less than that (not for the first time i was mistaken for a beginner - hardly surprising given the amount of questions i was asking).
jonquera is an exciting place with a sleazy atmosphere and some of the girls are definitely worth a peek. one of them, who looked a little older than the rest, had a sensational hourglass figure. she lived on the top floor of a building opposite and i could see her applying makeup in her bedroom mirror from my stool on the street below. apparently as the evening progresses, there are more customers and presumably therefore more girls. but the time was 8pm, so i decided to finish my beer and head back to gen maxilom avenue.
after a much-needed shower and change of clothes, i walked the short distance to viking. the club itself is down a set of stairs and has a small stage, flanked by two six-foot tall viking statues. only a few girls were dancing but there were plenty on the sidelines, as seemed to the trend in cebu. the time was 9.30pm and there were plenty of customers. although i didn’t spot any girls 8/10 or above, four girls surrounded me on my couch who i had a lot of fun with.
one of them took a real shine to me and asked for a kiss, so i obliged, on the lips since she asked nicely. as a result the other three girls decided that they also wanted a kiss. haha. of course i didn't let them down. the cutest one told me that there is a guy who she really likes, who she dances for every night, but he always ignores her. just as i was starting to feel sorry for her, she pointed at one of the viking statues and fell about laughing at her own joke. i bought her a lady-drink (p150) for making me laugh.
next door is bg's bikini bar which gets a good write-up on this site. it was smaller than the other bars but the talent was exceptional with some real hotties. there was no pressure for lady-drinks and i was allowed to select a girl in my own time. this is how gogo bars should be run. a slutty looking porn-star-wannabe with big fake boobs and lots of tattoos was dancing on stage while a babe nearby had hair down to her hips and the longest tongue i have ever seen (she kept pulling it to her friend). both girls would surely be tigers in the bedroom.
i opted to buy a lady-drink (p150) for a cute girl who was sweetly smiling at me from a couch nearby. her name was mae from mandaue and she had cute dimples whenever she smiled (which was a lot). oh and guess what, it was her 'first night'! haha. i was tempted to bar-fine her but it was only 11pm and i wanted to check out a few of the other bars first. a definite possibility for later though.
i walked in to viking next door and heard "hello!" shouted at me. it was nice, the pretty girl i bought a drink for in erik the red the night before. what was she doing in this bar? i ordered us both a drink before i scanned around and realised that this was erik the red! bizarrely, the doors for both erik the red and viking next door lead in to the same venue. nice's pretty sister joined us and i noticed that ‘miss red knickers’ was there too, talking to another customer. the blonde girl wasn't though, probably already bar-fined. if there are any gogo girls reading this, here's a tip: dye your hair blonde, the koreans and japs love it!
the other side of hot rod is sisters, which is the smallest of the bars on this side of the road. there were about 20 girls but the talent was some way behind the other bars. on top of that, five girls swarmed around my table, vying for my attention. i like to relax when i'm in a bar, but it felt like a job interview answering all of the questions that they fired at me. a foxy little girl with a top-heavy figure caught my eye but instead i decided to buy a drink for the shyest looking girl, the one who i thought could most do with a confidence boost.
it was midnight by the time i left sisters and time for me to make my choice of which girl to take. there was a big temptation to bar-fine ann from hot rod again but i decided against it for three reasons. firstly, i had her mobile number so could meet her during the day for a fraction of the cost; secondly she was the type of sweet girl i could easily fall for and one of my golden rules of sex tours is never to get too close; and thirdly i was put off by the additional p600 that hot rod charge on top of the bar-fine (sometimes it backfires when you rip your customers off!). i decided that it was either between mae from bg's, or nice and 'miss red knickers' from erik the red.
i decided to go back to bg's bikini bar. mae seemed really pleased to see me so i knew that i had made a good choice. without buying a drink for either myself or her, i paid the p1700 bar-fine (no additional costs like hot rod) and we went back to my hotel. the security guard gave me another knowing grin as he opened the door for us. he struck me as a bit of a rascal.
mae was another really sweet girl. she cuddled up to me and we watched a movie. she told me that she lived in a flat in the down-town area and shared a very basic, very small room with another girl. it's no wonder the girls love to watch movies and spread themselves out in comparatively large, luxurious hotel rooms!
she was a really inexperienced kisser, admitting at one point "i'm not sure what to do". surely not two virgins in the space of two nights? she had smallish, pert tits and loved having her large nipples sucked and being kissed on the neck. she gave me a really nice, gentle, girlfriend experience, riding me by the light of the tv until i couldn't hold out any longer in her tight pussy.
another night, another lovely girl. cebu was definitely living up to expectations.
