Manila

[QUOTE=Skip Kost; 1144608]I have taken to carrying a small scented candle (set in a little glass container. 3-4 inches long. 2 inches in diameter, with lid) in my luggage. I'm more likely to be the offender, so it's a gesture toward civility and respect for my partner. Takes maybe two or three minutes of burning the candle to make things right. If matches are also carried, they must be in checked baggage, but matches or disposable lighters are easily gotten in Philippine convenience stores. The lighters must be thrown away before travel since they can't be carried in either carry-on or checked luggage.

Too namby-pamby? Not for somebody like me who showers with the woman before and after the deed, goes down on her until she, hopefully, cums, and whispers sweet nothings in her ear while I'm buried deep inside her.[/QUOTE]I prefer to spray anti perspirant in the high smell. Works a treat. But I think its whatever works, then do.

[QUOTE=Skip Kost;1144606]Seems to me the issue is not who buys but how you can possibly make sure she takes them as prescribed. Missed birth control pills actually can create a greater likelihood of susceptibility to pregnancy.[/QUOTE]Yep, buying the pills is actually the easy part. Your pinay SO will be most happy to forget or "forget" to take them. Unless you can monitor this, you might want to try depo injections instead. Or just do like the DHL guy. . .

Pinays always tell me they don't like putting those chemicals in their body for fear of losing their ability to breed in the future. If you are counting on her to take her pills be prepared to hear,"Honey ko, I forget take my pills and now I fregnant. You not mad me?"

Just strike a match in the bathroom (or 2 for strong odors). I have been using this process for more than 20 years, and my wife and 2 kids (in my previous life) all followed the same process. The flare from the sulphur / phosphorus somehow obliterates the smell very quickly. Spraying deodorant just masks the smell but the match seems to actually remove it.

My historian friend tells me that in the very early days (1200. 1800s) they used some chemically-based lanterns along the walls to mask the odor of the sewers running under the castles.

I have boxes of matches in each bathroom now. It really works.

[/QUOTE]My father swore by the match (es) trick, and it seemed to work. The candle adds ambience, always in short supply in the phils. I think the candle works not so much from replacing the bad smell but from actually drawing in and burning off gasses in the air. The sulphur in the matches may work similarly. Essentially a chemical reaction.

Most urban areas in the Phils could use a large scale application of the medieval sewer gas remedy.

my second day report.

after having tried burgos i wanted to check out the infamous edsa complex.

figured it would be easy peasy to find it. got into a taxi and said take me to the edsa complex please. driver had no clue what i was talking about. i said, edsa complex with a lot of bars and girls. still no clue. tried to be creative and thought i remembered from this forum that there was a shangri-la near the bars. so i told driver to go to shangri-la edsa.

long story short, shangri-la is edsa is nowhere near the edsa complex. i got off and walked around several blocks before i realized and got into a new taxi. luckily this one did know about edsa complex. if others need a landmark, ask for hotel copacabana, it is just across the street from edsa.

finally arrived at the complex at around 00. 30. walked inside and saw quite a lot of girls standing at the doors to the different bars. was hungry so ordered some food from the cafe in the middle of the complex, thought it would be a good way to check out the action. turned out it was not. nothing really happening in the hall, just girls trying to get guys into their bars. not much customers there though. when i finished my meal i went for a quick tour, peeked into all the bars and had a beer in casino and cotton club, the two that looked the best from the outside. all bars seemed to have the same setup. some girls gro's (?) at the door getting the guys inside, and then girls in bikini on stage, you can pick one, buy a ladies drink and discuss taking her back for barfine and girl tip. ladies drink was from 197-300php. barfines around 1500-2500, girl tip nego i think.

it was very dead there. so dead that it was half boring. not much fun when you are the only customer. girls were nice to talk to though, and imho prettier than at burgos. but all is subjective of course. at casino, there are two set of bikini girls, white bikinis and black bikinis. the black are much prettier than white.

asked one of the girls if it is always this quiet on thursdays or if i arrived too late or what the problem was. she said that it is more lively in weekends, but also, many of the customers are japanese and after the disasters in japan the business had slowed down a lot.

place closed at 3am, they do keep open until 4am if there are more customers.

i was quite tired, partly due to the long walk i had around shangri-la and had to get up early next day, so ended up not taking anyone back home, but think i will come back there next time. 15 minutes taxi ride from shangri-la, about 10-15 minutes from burgos. i kinda liked it more than burgos, maybe just because you can cover 6-8 bars in one spot.

Shangri La is not the landmark closest to EDSA. It is Heritage Hotel. You need to mention to the Driver it is opposite side of the road from Heritage.

Long time ago when there was no divider you could walk across from Heritage. I have stayed at Heritage many times.

Some girls tried to convince me to get a taxi. I managed to convince them to just cross the road.

[QUOTE=Sammon;1145057]Perfect dream girl with nice assets.[/QUOTE]Where is she now?

[QUOTE=Sammon;1145067]Some girls tried to convince me to get a taxi. I managed to convince them to just cross the road.[/QUOTE]That sounds just about right for pinay mentality. Even if broke, when you find a punter, take a taxi.

[QUOTE=Sammon;1145067]Shangri La is not the landmark closest to EDSA. It is Heritage Hotel. You need to mention to the Driver it is opposite side of the road from Heritage..[/QUOTE]Some people taught me to say EDSA Complex Firehouse and most drivers know that, but otherwise Heritage is fine also.

[QUOTE=Devils 1; 1142236]When I went to AF1 I was standing there staring at all of the beautiful women. One of the attendants came up and started asking me what I was looking for? I replied, I wasnt sure because there were so many incredible women. He started giving me an opinion of each ones special assets. When he said number 87 has great tits and gives an incredible BBBJ, I knew I was in lust.

You can also have the attendant ask different girls to stand up and turn around so you can see their body better. [/QUOTE]Having been a while away from the Philippines, I was wondering where exactly is this Air Force One. I heard there is a lots of massage parlours. Is this far from Heritage Hotel that I will be staying at, in my next visit to Manila. Now I am checking some details for my Menu on this coming trip.

By the way, Is LA cafe still aorund? What is the present rate for ST, LT.

Cheers,

[quote=red kilt;1144963]the flare from the sulphur / phosphorus somehow obliterates the smell very quickly. spraying deodorant just masks the smell but the match seems to actually remove it.[/quote]a quick internet search reveales the following:

quote.

when a match is struck, it produces sulfur dioxide, a "very pungent substance, to which the smell receptors are extremely sensitive." madsci explains,"you can smell a minute amount of sulfur dioxide, but when you have done so, you will not smell anything else for a while." so, the match doesn't really get rid of the odor. it just covers it up. this seems the most likely explanation, but madsci presents a few other possibilities, including "oxidation of smelly substances in the flame" and "absorption of smelly substances onto the smoke."

the tv show "mythbusters" covered this topic and concluded that matches mask the methyl mercaptan found in flatulence and [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord113][CodeWord113][/url]. so, a match may not eliminate odors, but it will push them to the background. most of the time, that's good enough.
