[QUOTE=Denkicash; 1116034]Cheers guys for the further tips
Feels a bit as if DIA could lead to a situation where I end up spending an inordinate amount of time once I get to Cebu doing SMS / texting (which I hate). [/QUOTE]You are right. I have been spending complete afternoons in my room texting and phoning my DIA girl.
Very tiring and little effect with much effort
Great Reports, Mort. Any pix of those spinners? We have the same taste. No pix allowed from the cuties I hit in November.

Ps. Clear you mailbox!
[QUOTE=Westcoast1;1116057]The taxi driver doesn't want to go to Mactan because its a long trip for him. Its worth it for him to run the meter over. But, he does not have a fare to return, so its not worth it. Offer him p80 over the meter when you get into the taxi. Most will take it. He's not being an asshole, he just can't make a profit for only the trip over as he must drive back.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I'm fully aware of potential for empty return trip. I usually offered 100-200p extra which is double the fare, even then a few guys wouldn't consider it. This is going to Hilton. I have had similar experiences in the past going to and from P. Bay. Just not worth the hassle to stay at those places. Most times I have to negotiate fixed price and even then it is a real pain. I recommend stay on Cebu island whenever someone asks.
[QUOTE=Rob Raxcal;1116185]. But if anyone has any contacts they would like to share that would be awesome. I tend to go for the small girls between 18 and late 20's. Any girl who does anal would be great. Have only tried that once so would like to give it another go. Or any suggestions on finding girls who are into that. Thanks and enjoy the reports. Look for mine in a week or two.[/QUOTE]You're expecting a lot for guys to share contacts with someone they have never met.
I have a circle of friends and we tend to share names / contacts now and again because we know each other.
History shows that some guys do not always treat contacts in the appropriate way, and then the original guy ends up in the shit.
I am not saying that about you Rob but you need to understand where some of us are coming from.
I suggest you meet a few members in Cebu early, get to know each other better and then they might be more prepared to share contacts.
[QUOTE=Rob Raxcal;1116185]I am heading to Cebu on Saturday. I would prefer to meet some girls outside of go go bars so I will try Alaya (sp?) Mall etc. But if anyone has any contacts they would like to share that would be awesome. I tend to go for the small girls between 18 and late 20's. Any girl who does anal would be great.

Thank you for your comments about my recent posts and thanks to the guys that PM'd me. It is not easy finding time to write comprehensive reports like these, especially when you are actually here in Cebu as I am. I much prefer to give my accounts when they are still fresh, or should I say vivid in my memory. I am really glad my field reports are appreciated, it makes the time and effort worthwhile.
As regards photos, I do take them when permitted. I rarely take out girls from bars and I guess it is much easier to negotiate photos with these kinds of women. My girls will occasionally allow photos but not full explicit frontals (which is a shame) but I guess they are worried about the photos ending up on the internet. You can see from one of my posts week the problems I had with one girl after photographing her in the bedroom. She wasn't even showing anything of interest, just sat on the bed with a towel wrapped round her, but it was enough to freak her out.

[/QUOTE]Enjoyed reading your reports. Keep up the good work.
My handheld computer just arrived- It has an HSDPA SIM slot which will accept a standard SIM. It's an international- (triband) unit. It runs Windows XP tablet edition.
I want to use it in Cebu for texting & data access. I have used unlocked triband cellphones in the Philippines for voice calls & texting (SMS) with no problem. I also use a Smartbro USB dongle to connect my laptop to the internet. No problem. It contains a different SIM. It connects over local cellphone service towers, via Smartbro supplied software.
What software may help me connect my computer in the Philippines?
PS- I put my USA AT&T SIM in my computer but the supplied Novatel software didn't find it.
Has anyone done anything like this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I arrive in Cebu next week for a month or so- I hope to visit several of my favorite bars after I recover from jetlag. I'll try to pay up my dues for this board before I leave so I can send & receive PM's.
Regards to all- Don

Its their job to drop the flag and take me where I want to go for the price on the meter. Its not my concern if he drops me off, and burn rubber at 100mi hr to get back to where he pick me up in a empty taxi. If he don't want to go back empty, then don't. Ride around like most do and a customer will hail them down sooner or later. Its called WORKING! Problem solved!

But I thought the Philippines had a telephone number you could call to report actions like this. If the driver upsets you that much, get his name and taxi number, and call the number to report him. If enough calls are made about this type of action, maybe the drivers will change their attitudes.

Problem solved![/QUOTE]If they were getting paid by the hour or a salary maybe what you say makes sense, but they're not paid that way. They pay for the taxis for a 24 hour stint and have to pay for whatever fuel they use. Everything outside of that is their take for the 24 hours. So if you ask for a taxi to take you out to a place where the financials don't make sense, why should he do it for just the meter? You guys can say what you want based on your gut or what you think is good business for them, but if you don't understand their situation then it may be pretty hard for you to deal with taxis as such over there. Staying out in Mactan for whatever reasons comes with transportation issues. If you are having problems getting taxis to take you back there, it's probably for good reason. You probably have to bump up some extra pesos to make it worth their while. They're going to most likely struggle to find a customer going back so they may have to drive a long ways to catch a fare and pay for their fuel costs, when they could have stayed in the city and catch more fares. On top of this whole issue, is they work their 24 hour shift and then basically have to take the next day off. We'd probably all have a better understanding if we were in their shoes, but we're not. Basically they're running they're own business. They can choose to take a customer or not just as much as you can choose to not use their services.
This is my second trip to Cebu this year. I came in the spring for 6 weeks, and I am back again for 8 weeks. I've been here for a couple of weeks already. Previously I spent my time fucking my beautiful 18 year old gf and then working my DIA contacts for other sexual encounters. I had a blast and tho I screwed plenty of girls, I had alot of no-shows (to be expected) from my DIA contact list.
To combat this, I took the time and effort to stay in better communication with my "closed" prospects before comming. So this time around I have an even bigger "book" and they are much more solid. Funny thing is that for the past few weeks, I've been content to fuck my regular girlfriend. She was a virgin when I met her, and now she's the best lay I've ever had and it keeps getting better and better.
This week, however, I've decided I can't let all this pussy around me go to waste and I decided to try out some other venues, like to Go Gos and Casas, besides contacting and meeting my "book" girls. Some roadblocks, however. On my last trip, every time I got into a taxi alone, the drivers would pester me constantly to take me to a casa. This time none did. While watching some porn, my gf revealed to me that she wanted to have a pretty girl eat her pussy. Well, I'm a gentleman, and I wouldn't want to deny her such an experience.
I thought the a casa would be the perfect thing and she agreed, so I put us in a taxi and asked the driver to take us to a casa. He sadly informed me they have all been pretty much shut down in the past few months becasue of a crack down by the mayor. Hopefully, this is only temporary.
Maybe I can find a suitable girl for her at one of the Go Go's. We'll see. I'll report back when I have more to report.
Cheers all
Have to agree with you 100 % good post!
Many drivers don't own the cabs they are driving so margins become thin.
Generally speaking, Cebu cabbies are fair and trustworthy compared to their counterparts in Manila.
The only problems I have noticed is some like to keep their meters off on runs from the airport.

Malaysia has Asia's worst taxis (compared to Taipei and Shanghai, Asia's best and most honest ). The govt knew there were thousands of complaints about people being forced to haggle and beg for rides. So the Malaysian govt, in its wisdom had a brainwave. It put signs on the side of all taxis that said in multiple languages " no haggling ". Problem solved.
So there I was in Penang getting into a "no haggling taxi" and duly asked the driver to turn on his meter, he said "no" the fare is " up to you " I thought it said no haggling I replied.
He said," I put that on the side of my side of my taxi because the govt told me to" I still haggle. LOL. And there you have it. Reasons why in some countries these guys are laws unto themselves and in other countries they follow the law.

[/QUOTE]Tend to agree Mattrick, Cebu taxis are fair even when I am being very lazy and get a 50 pesos fare they are great and polite. Airport is another thing but even get that in the UK at times. Manila. Another planet but we should should not moan too much as what is a / 50100 pesos to us? To them means a lot more so be a tad generous IMHO
