Philippines Diary: Manila
here is the latest part of my diary (back in manila after a stays in puerto galera and cebu). please note, this was written in april this year so although some things will be a little out of date (i.e la cafe closing) it might still prove to be of use, especially to a newcomer to the 'scene' as i was at the time.
incidentally, right at the start of day 12 i talk about a scam someone tried on me. it was only when i got back from the trip that i read about that exact same scam on this very forum. it just goes to prove the value of rtff!
day 12: manila
marilyn left at about 9 o'clock, too early for a second pop. i dozed in bed until 10.30 and then packed. i had really enjoyed cebu but the time to return to manila had come. i wanted to make up for lost time and get some more girls under my belt, so to speak. cebu had been a big success. i had been with three great girls including ann, surely a candidate for 'girl of the tour'.
i flew back to manila with cebu pacific and by two in the afternoon was unpacking my suitcase at amazonia once again. this time i had room 104, larger than room 101 and with a better tv, but for the same price (p1650). i was glad to be back.
during the afternoon, i went for a walk when a familiar face started walking alongside me. it was the security guard from amazonia, who told me he had just finished work. we chatted as we walked and he suggested we stop for a beer somewhere. since he seemed an interesting character and i was gasping for a drink due to the heat, i thought 'why not?'. he took me to a small bar called red rooster and i bought us each a bottle of beer.
he told me that university students come to the bar and then it dawned on me that his intentions were obviously to try and pimp one out to me. of course i didn't have a problem with that. true enough, he waved over a reasonably attractive girl who sat on my knee. she told me that her name was gloria, she was 19 years old and she would like to travel around philippines with me (obviously not a full-time student!). i bought her a drink and we chatted for a while before i decided it was time to leave. although the girl was sexy, she gave out signals that she wanted a boyfriend rather than a quick fuck.
when i went to pay the bill though, i had a nasty surprise. in addition to the drinks, there was 1500 pesos added for 'lady company'. i didn't intend paying the extra money, so told the waitress that there had been some confusion. "i did not ask for lady" i said with a smile on my face, "i will pay for drinks, no lady". sensing he might lose his cut, the security guard from amazonia pointed to gloria and said "you pay for girl". he obviously felt guilty because he couldn't even look me in the eye. i pulled out 300 pesos from my pocket and gave it to the waitress. it was enough to pay for the drinks with a generous tip thrown in for good measure. "i pay for drinks, no girl. keep the change" i said, before heading for the exit. i made sure i handed gloria a few pesos on my way out too.
i had a similar scam tried on me in thailand once before. usually it involves several big security guards, so you have no choice but to pay. in this instance though, i felt pretty safe because the only security guard was from amazonia (and he knew that he would get in to trouble if i was to tell the manager of amazonia about his little scam). if ever anything like this happens to you, the key is to maintain your composure and smile as much as possible. if i had started shouting and acting confrontational, the situation would certainly have escalated.
originally my plan for the night was to meet up with a girl from the website date in asia, who i had been in regular contact with. her name was cat and we had been exchanging emails for some time before i arrived in philippines. i had chatted with her on webcam too and she was a foxy looking girl with big boobs and huge blowjob lips. in my text messages i had left her in no doubt what my intentions were, so was disappointed when she texted early in the evening asking whether her friend could come along too. i told her that i only wanted to see her on her own. half an hour later she texted back, suggesting that we could meet the night after instead, which i reluctantly agreed to.
i considered my options for the night. although manila has other freelance venues to visit, i was eager to return to la cafe. i arrived at 9pm and it was the busiest i had seen it, with barely room to move downstairs. so many girls. the large majority on this bottom floor are 7/10 or (much) less but there are honeys to be found, hidden amongst the hordes. upstairs was crowded too, so i got a seat in the eating area and ordered food. it was tasty though overpriced, and the live band were excellent again.
as i finished my food, a familiar face came over. it was lina, who i went with on the second night of this trip. i remembered her great smile, long curly hair and curvaceous body. i bought her a drink and we chatted. after a while she took the cherry out of her glass and made me bite it off the stalk. then she showed me her party-trick by putting the cherry-stalk in her mouth and tying a knot in it just by using her tongue. just as i was marveling at what a skilful tongue she must have, i remembered the amazing blowjob she gave me when i saw her last. although my plan for the night had been to pick up a new girl, thoughts of that blowjob had made my mind up for me.
we agreed on 1500 for long-time but it proved to be a disappointing experience. we were naked and kissing passionately, my cock hard and ready for action, when she casually told me "no boom-boom tonight, my pussy hurts". i silently cursed her for not telling me that in la cafe.
all was not lost though. it was her blowjob skills that stole the show last time, so she kissed her way down to my cock and once again sucked, nibbled and licked away, like a kid with an ice lolly. this girl had skills, no doubt about it. i came in her mouth and she swallowed, before asking "why didn't you tell me?". i thought that was quite ironic given what she had neglected to tell me earlier.
day 13: manila
as lina lay in bed sleeping, i texted stella, the pretty girl i met in la cafe a week previously. i got straight to the point, telling her i'd give her 2000 pesos for two hours. she texted back almost straight away and we agreed to meet at the french baker at robinsons at 4pm.
shortly after lina woke up, she phoned her friend to see where she was (freelancers always seem to do this). they chatted for a while in tagalog before lina told her friend that she was with a 'gwapo' english man. her friend replied that she too was meeting a 'gwapo' english man later that day and, well, maybe you can work the rest out? coincidentally, lina's friend was stella, the girl i had just arranged to meet up with while lay in bed next to lina! it's a small world (in la cafe anyway).
for some reason, lina gave me a hard time about it. i think she was upset because i was being a 'butterfly'. i have never understood why bar-girls get jealous when their customers go with other girls. i know a lot of them are after a foreign boyfriend but when you consider the number of men that girls like lina must go with, it seems a strange reaction.
i decided to meet up with stella anyway, for a few reasons. firstly, when we met a week ago, i liked the way how she sat with me for an hour in la cafe, even when she knew i couldn't go with her due to my injury. i thought that was the sign of a nice girl who wasn't too money-orientated. mainly though, i found myself looking forward to seeing her again as she was such a sweet girl. the complication of her being lina's friend might have meant that i couldn't get 'inter-stella' so to speak, but i had agreed to a date and decided to honour it.
we met outside french baker at 4pm and stella was looking good, although she was smaller than i remembered. we got some lunch at kfc (her choice, not mine) and the conversation inevitably turned to lina. it turned out they had only been friends for five days (lina had painted a picture that they were lifelong buddies)! even i had known stella for longer than lina and, thinking about it, we had agreed to this 'date' before the two girls had even met! in light of this, i decided that i could go with stella with a clear conscience.
back in my room and she was a really good kisser, a big turn on for me. our clothes soon fell to the floor and although she had small tits, her large nipples were begging to be sucked. what then followed was the most energetic sex i have ever had. we tried every position i could think of and because she was so petite, it made it easy to try things i had never tried before. i carried her to the couch where she rode me, before lifting her up and fucking her while i was standing up, her legs wrapped around me. best of all, she had a really tight pussy and used her hips like no other girl i have been with, expertly bringing me to a great climax. that's what i call a 'stella performance'!
in the evening, my plan was to meet cat, the date in asia hottie. this time it was a goer and we arranged to meet at starbucks near the main entrance of robinson's at 8pm. so desperate was i to meet her, i made it clear via text that i would give her 2000 pesos if she stayed with me all night, with the potential of a 500 peso tip "if i had a good time" (i always like to jokingly dangle a carrot to ensure good performance). i arrived at starbucks at 8pm but she didn't arrive until 9.10pm, over an hour late due to traffic. you'd think that a lifelong resident of manila might have predicted traffic!
when i saw her, my heart sank as she didn't look anywhere near as sexy in person as she had on webcam. i’m not sure why, she just didn't. i felt like making an excuse but i had agreed to pay her for long time and i'm always as good as my word when it comes to the girls. since i was going to pay her, i may as well fuck her too.
we went back to my hotel and kissed on the bed before i took her bra off. on her photos her boobs looked large but when her bra was removed, they were almost non-existent. what an advert for padded bras! things weren't going well. she was a good french kisser though (big tongue) and gave me a truly great blowjob, using those big pouty lips of hers with great effect. the sex was okay and every now and then, as she rolled her head back sexily and closed her eyes, i caught glimpses of the girl i had fantasised about back at home.
as i fucked her doggy-style, i inserted my thumb in to her ass, and she groaned softly. "you like?" i asked and when she nodded, i slid my cock out of her pussy and teased her asshole with it. no complaints. she gasped as i slowly eased it in to her ass and said "slowly, slowly!" as i began to fuck her, deeper with each stroke. it felt tight and she eventually took the whole length.
i didn't feel like sharing a bed that night, so sent her on her way with 2500 pesos in her purse, which she was delighted with. i realise that i paid over-the-odds for a date in asia chick, but this girl looked so special on webcam, i just had to meet her. although our encounter had started unpromisingly, at least it had delivered my first anal experience of the trip and another excellent blowjob.
day 14: manila
i was pleased that things were happening. yesterday i had woken up with lina, had a great session with stella and then rounded off the day by fucking a girl from date in asia up the ass. what would be on the menu tonight?
the afternoon was spent carrying out a few chores, including getting some new t-shirts from robinson's. feeling thirsty afterwards, i went to la cafe for a beer. it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon and only the bottom floor was open. although it was quieter and the quality of girls was fairly low, sat next to me at the bar was a gorgeous specimen, aged 22 with a perfect face and curvy body. unfortunately though, she was too distracted by her phone (a regular customer probably) which was a shame because i was set to make her an offer.
i walked around the bar and found a great 'spider and fly' spot (to use one of thommo's favourite phrases) next to the ladies rest-room. i pretended to watch people playing pool but was in prime position to watch the girls go in and out of the rest-room. almost all girls 'freshen up' or check/apply their make-up when they first arrive, so it's definitely a good place to establish eye contact.
that evening i decided to give some of the other freelance spots in ermita a try. firstly, i went to amazonia again. it's got a great layout and again the band was excellent. yet for the second time there were few girls and hardly any customers. the price for a san miguel light was p135 (25 pesos more expensive than la cafe) but surely there must be another reason why this promising bar was so lifeless? the management need to get a drinks promotion going to get the girls pouring in and the guys would follow.
a five minute walk from amazonia/la cafe, and not far from robinsons, is g-point. i arrived at 11.30pm as a girl band were playing. you have to hand it to the flips, they have some good bands. i sat on a stool next to the small dance floor, which proved to be an excellent place to perv on girls dancing. the girls were generally older than those at la cafe and there were far fewer, but there were some cute ones and they seemed less 'pro'. a guy in his seventies was having the time of his life dancing with a group of three young girls, one of whom had a sensational body squeezed in to a sexy tight outfit. supposedly the food is good at g-point so it is definitely worth a visit.
on the corner opposite la cafe is la annexe. the layout is similar to the bottom floor of la cafe with a circular bar, lots of stools and screens showing live sport. it was very quiet when i arrived at midnight. there were hardly any girls and the place felt sleepy. two girls, neither of which i found attractive, came up to me and began asking the usual questions. just as i was about to make my excuses and leave, a rather brash texan sat next to them and asked me whether i would mind if he bought them both a drink. "be my guest" i said.
la cafe is undoubtedly top-dog in manila (or the world?) when it comes to freelancers, but the nature of these freelance joints is that you might strike lucky in any of them. for example, both times i had visited amazonia bar, there were few girls, and yet i had seen some really attractive ones entering when walking to/from my hotel room upstairs. i recommend popping in to these bars for a quick beer and maybe you'll discover a gem. bear in mind that la cafe, la annexe and amazonia are within a stone-throw of each other, while g-point is an easy five minute walk away. try them all, you never know where you might strike lucky :)
it was past midnight so i decided to go back to la cafe. i sat down on a stool near the stairs and thought how much i loved the place as sexy girls filed past, smiling in my direction. then who should approach but stella, looking delightful as ever. as i was chatting with her, lina came up to us and said hello and at that exact same moment, big-boobed jessica (my first girl of the trip) walked past. three girls who i had shagged, all within a one meter radius. like i said, you've got to love this place!
stella and lina went upstairs so i decided to act quickly and procure the services of another girl. i made eye contact with a sophisticated looking babe sat nearby, so invited her over. she was one of the girls i had previously seen in the korean section upstairs, waiting subserviently on the sidelines. within two minutes we had agreed on a price of 2000 pesos for ‘short time’ and were walking back to my hotel. that's what i call acting fast.
her name was alicia and although she was 28 years old, she looked younger, with pale skin and perfect silky-smooth long hair. she was a pretty girl but kissed with her mouth closed, a real turn-off for me, and proved to be a 'starfish' when fucking, just lying there. whenever this happens, i like to fuck the girl harder and longer by way of punishment, to make the girl enjoy it despite themselves! :p
although it was a disappointing session compared to others i'd had in philippines, sometimes you have to put things in to perspective. 2000 pesos is the equivalent of about thirty quid back in england and i wouldn't even be able to afford the ugliest street-walking crack-***** for that kind of money! alicia was pretty as a picture and had a sexy body. fucking her was certainly better than an early night.
not long after we finished, she asked whether she could leave. ordinarily i might have insisted she stay longer but i was fed up of hearing her talking about her american marine 'boyfriend', so let her go.
day 15: manila
when i woke up, i decided that perhaps the time had come to leave manila. seeing stella, lina and jessica in such close proximity the night before in la cafe had made me think that i needed a new hunting ground. i decided i would spend one more night in manila so that i could visit makati, then head to angeles next day.
i spent most of the afternoon at the internet cafe near la cafe, which itself could be a good pick-up place. lots of girls visit, including sexy ones in nice dresses, probably taking a break from the smoke of la cafe.
i got a metercab to makati, the business district. skyscrapers towered overhead and there seemed to be 5-star hotels on every corner. it was cleaner, less chaotic and the poverty and beggars of ermita seemed a world away. the taxi driver dropped me off in front of renaissance hotel (which is also called new world hotel) and then using the excellent directions from this website, i walked to phoenix massage, round the back. i'm a big fan of massage parlours and was eager to find out how it would compare to the many i had visited in thailand. from past experiences, nataree in bangkok is the 'creme de la creme' of massage parlours, but i would have settled for something along the lines of sayuri in chiang mai or even cristins in phuket. these kind of places have some exceptionally pretty girls in their fishbowls. feeling excited, i found roman suites (phoenix is upstairs) but there was a 'closed' sign on the door. a security guard told me that they were due to re-open again the week after.
unfortunately i hadn't made a note of alternative massage parlours in the vicinity. i had hoped to fuck a girl in phoenix and then explore the greenbelt 3 freelance scene nearby, but that masterplan had fallen at the first hurdle.
so, a little earlier than expected, i walked in to greenbelt, a large upmarket mall. there were some extremely pretty girls but certainly not pay-for-play. near entrance 3 is a large garden area, an oasis in the concrete jungle, surrounded by restaurants and bars. i heard that cafe havana is a great place to meet upmarket freelancers, so bought a beer (p103) and sat on one of the many tables outside. i stayed there from 7.30pm to 8.30pm but didn't pick up on any sexy freelance vibes at all. there were no girls trying to catch my eye, instead there were lots of couples having dinner and children running around in the small park opposite. two security guards lingered around for the entire duration of my stay - maybe security have flushed the freelancers away from this classy corner of manila? on the plus side though, cafe havana employ some very pretty waitresses.
next door, starbucks also gets mentions on the internet as a potential freelance venue but it was the same story there - lots of couples and families. there was one unaccompanied filipino lady, who smiled at me as i walked past, but on this evidence i think you can rule out greenbelt 3 as a place for freelance action. perhaps i had chosen the wrong night or was there too early?
fair to say that my night wasn't going as planned. the massage parlour was closed and there weren't any freelancers at cafe havana. to ensure that my trip to makati wasn't entirely wasted, i decided to go to the gogo bars on p. burgos st. i didn't have high hopes as i had heard that they are very expensive, which stands to reason given their location in the business district. but i was curious to visit, especially since they are rumoured to employ some of the prettiest girls in manila.
it took me 20 minutes to walk there, although given the humidity i regretted not getting a taxi. there was lots of flashing neon and persistent hawkers trying to sell me viagra. i didn't like the atmosphere of the place. it reminded me of patpong in bangkok, the perfect place to get ripped off.
someone told me that papillon is a 'must-see' but i have to disagree. it was very small and had a poor layout which meant i couldn't see all of the dancers. worst of all though, just after i had sat down i was joined by three gro's, all in their thirties. the one to my left, heavily made-up and bulging out of her tight outfit, kept trying to put her hand down my trousers, while a waitress went through the usual charade of trying to make me buy lady-drinks for each of my unwanted companions. it was a shame, they were blocking the view of a few nice looking younger girls who were dancing. i finished my drink quickly and the waitress suggested that i should tip each of the girls before i left. it was an annoying place with far too much pressure for drinks/tips, geared to rip off newbies. no thanks.
on the corner, flamingo was much better. it was far larger with a circular stage on which 15 girls were dancing (and one was sat on a rocking horse). the quality of girls was probably on par with edsa, although i was joined by mariella, a gorgeous girl in a red lacy top with large dangly gold earrings that made her look like a bollywood actress. she has an expensive hair-style and maybe the prettiest smile i had seen on this trip. my san miguel cost p150 and her tiny glass of red wine was p300 (what was it, a 1934 vintage?). not only was mariella a beautiful girl, she was sexy too. she lap-danced for me and then sat astride me, her small-but-perfectly-formed tits inches from my face. my dick voted 'yes'.
tentatively i asked her how much it would cost to bar-fine her, bracing myself because p.burgos gogos are renowned for being expensive. she told me that the bar-fine was a massive 2200 pesos and it would cost a further 2500 pesos for short-time. ouch. it was far more than i was willing to pay. to put it into context, i had taken a gorgeous girl from a gogo in angeles for about a quarter of that price and that was for long-time! even so, i was tempted, purely because this girl was such a star. thankfully though, i saw sense. if she had been a freelancer in la cafe, i wouldn't have hesitated but the bar-fine was ridiculous.
i decided not to waste any more time in makati. judging by the two bars i had visited, the p.burgos st gogo scene was far too commercial and expensive - definitely one to leave to businessmen happy to pay over-the-odds. but not just that, apart from mariella, the girls weren't really that special. of course there were some cuties to be seen, but certainly no more than edsa or the bars in angeles.
i decided to head back to la cafe where i hoped to hastily negotiate terms with one of the young cuties on the bottom floor. unfortunately though, it didn't go to plan as i felt ill on the 15 minute taxi-ride back. with my stomach doing somersaults, i went back to my hotel room for an early night. it had been a night in which everything had gone wrong. the massage parlour was closed, cafe havana had no freelancers and the p burgos st gogo bars were a let-down. then to top it all off, i felt ill on the way back so ended the night without a girl.
tomorrow i would definitely be heading to angeles, i needed a change of scene.
