Manila

Just book a one month stay at the Knightsbridge Residences in Century City Makati. Its a clean modern big studio with a slamming view and balcony. I got it for 650 dollars (20 dollars a night) which seems like a good price.

Has anyone stayed at this place before? I am having some doubts about whether or not I made the right choice.

1) It doesn't have a real bed. Uses a folded out futon / sofa bed. Supposedly it is on the firmer side and not that bad. I asked someone who stayed in an identical unit and none of the reviews complained about the bed / comfort. Nonetheless, I still have my doubts. I am thinking about buying a double sized memory foam / latex topper and putting it on the sofa bed. Can I pick a decent one up for around 100 dollars? If so where?

2) There is a lot of construction going on around and on the apartment complex. Seems it will be noisy.

3) Due to the construction, the pool is only open starting at 5 pm on week days. I think I heard it will last until August / September which is around the time I am going.

4) Area is probably a little too upscale for my tastes.

There is Century City Mall and A Venue mall within a short walking distance. Seems it will take about 25 minutes to walk to Greenbelt / Ayala. Burgos St. Is a few blocks over. Although I will not be taking any girls from there, but might be fun to go walk around before or after a night out and see what happens.

I am hoping there is another entrance to this place. I feel uncomfortable walking into and past the lobby every night around 2-4 am with a different girl esp if its girls at the front desk.

Fuck, 3 more months of work until heaven.

[QUOTE=WickedRoger;1722672]She is a promo girl Westie but Globe will love the added attention and PR am sure LOL.

And she looks familiar to one I have seen in Cebu (plenty Globe promos there at the weekend) and on Facebook.

So I would suggest that the photo is taken down.

Another from South America? If so what is it about that region, something in the water makes them post those pics on a sex forum?[/QUOTE]Probably the same girl, she is from Cebu if I am not mistaken. The mod's can take down the photo. Although, if left up I doubt she or anyone she knows will see it.

[/QUOTE]You should repost in the Manila Hotels thread. Probably not a good idea to pay for one month hotel stay sight unseen! What might be adequate for one person, might not be for you.

Sitting in a filthy coffee shop in Terminal 3, the least bad of all the terminals. The flight announcement boards aren't working (and haven't for at least 3 weeks), the people movers are (as usual) not working, and I've got to take a bus to my plane that will, inevitably, depart late. Flights are arriving late, gate changes occur frequently, the air con is barely working and there are more passengers than seats. This reminds me of nothing so much as some of the worst airports in Africa. What a hole!

GE.

I went into Time around 1 am but we were the only ones inside. Doorman said come back about 3-4 am when it'll be busier. That's way too late for me. I prefer to be in bed by then with a girl.

[QUOTE=PGTour;1718235]Is this a good spot to find talent?[/QUOTE]I visited this club on a Saturday night early May I think around 1 am. From what I saw, you get girls going in there from Café Havana who haven't yet found their customer for the night yet. I paid 500 p entrance and you can order 1 drink with that too. Girls get to go inside for free. It wasn't very busy for a Sat night which surprised me. 1 girl quoted 200 usd for sex but wouldn't stay the night because she wanted to see the Floyd / Manny boxing match in the morning. Of course I refused that ridiculous offer. She wasn't worth that anyway. Later after an hour I saw her walking out with some other guy.

Hotels cost way too much especially for someone staying 1-2 months. I read the reviews and seen the pictures and know about the building.

Should be good to go.

Are you talking about Bronx?

I have a 10 hour Layover in Manila, would appreciate any advise on quick action possibilities. Don't want to stray too far away from airport to leave some relaxing time as I have a flight & a meeting ahead.

Much appreciate any pointers / advice.

Cheers. ZFM.

It seems like this was just answered a few pages back. Go to Star Fleet in Paranaque if you want to stay near airport. Otherwise go to Malate and LA Cafe. Geez.

This is a girl friendly 5 star hotel and they check girls ID before she goes up. Then walk 300 m down the road to LA Cafe and you will pick up a girl within 3 minutes flat. The rate for ST with a freelancer should be around 2 - 2. 5 K. Then take her to the room and fuck her brains out before kicking her out. You can relax at this beautiful hotel, go for a swim and have a nice meal before taking the cab back to NAIA.

If your budget is limited, Pasay City has a number of short time stay hotels at around PHP 1000 for 6 hours. LA Cafe is then a short cab ride away. Pasay to NAIA is not far.

Thanks the cups & ED for your comments.

Diamond hotel / LA caffe combo sounds good, a 10 hour layover now looks nice, I have been fussing over the itinerary. .

Will update on how it goes.

Cheers. ZFM.

Can't beat the place for the area it's in. There are less expensive options close to LA, but Diamond is at the top of the heap.

We landed on time in Manila at 6. 30 pm. Luggage took some time as 3 flights had landed at the same time causing too much crowd near the belt. I scouted for a Smart Sim card which I would be using extensively over the next 8 days but couldn't find one. We had landed at Terminal 2. Globe was available and in retrospect I should have picked that carrier.

Taxi wait time was an hour before we were on way to Century Park Hotel (CPH) in Ocampo Street. We had booked 3 nights there. The hotel was pretty good, a tad expensive but worth it. Thought behind this was that we could head out to MBC, P Burgos Street and EDSA on each one of the nights conveniently. There was a signboard at the reception which said that all guests had to leave by 10 pm. This got me slightly worried as it was 9. 30 pm by the time we had checked in but it never impacted us on any of the nights. Luckily CPH has a second entrance from the Harrison Plaza side and majority of the cabbies drop you there. Easier to access for them I guess. Works well for me. This way I avoid the reception desk completely.

We hit LA Cafe at approx. 11 pm. Enroute I got myself a Smart Sim from a 7/11 with Always On 499 peso 30 day 1. 5 GB internet plan. There was decent talent inside as we walked in. The waitress vacated two girls from their seats near the bar and seated us. We finished a SML scouting for potential night partners not letting HI's and Hello's from the mature ones distract us. We decided to check the bar upstairs. Entrance was 100 pesos. Big mistake. Not many girls there, finished a SML listening to few rock songs played on our request by the live band. Place was occupied by Korean and Japanese men and they had some pretty girls accompanying them. We came back downstairs and got another SML. Eyeing around one girl got my gaze and I smiled at her. She was by my side in seconds and I got a drink for her. Her name was Miles. Cris in the meantime had identified his girl. We closed on 3000 pesos for LT. We decided to move out of the place as it was 2 am but we wanted to party a bit more. I asked Miles if she could take us to a good disco around. We hailed a cab and went to Club ZZXYZ. Whatever. Cab fare henceforth for short journeys was 100 pesos flat and the girls stayed quiet like Thai girls letting their brethren fleece us. The club was a Korean joint with some really pretty girls hanging around. EDM got us in the mood. We got ourselves a table with seating that cost us 1500 Pesos (redeemable with drinks and finger food up to that value and would need to pay more if we exceeded). I liked this model unlike Insomnia in Pattaya where you get a table only if you avail bottle service. We shook our booty for some time with the girls and were back to CPH. This is when I found out about the alternate entrance which bypasses the reception and takes us straight to the lift through an escalator. The girl's ID is checked and noted in the register at the entrance and a call is made to us the morning when the girl is leaving.

I went to bed with Miles by 4 am. We showered by turn. Miles was around 4' 10" had good be sized breast but had scar marks all over her belly. Single mother. It was too late now and I had to get a pop. Session with her included BBBJ and DFK, started in miss and finished in doggy. Slept after that. Was woken up by her bathroom visit in the afternoon, had another session with her. We wanted to check Robinson's mall and also get the 4 G plan activated at the SMART store there. Let her go with 200 peso tip as I couldn't take her for breakfast. We had overslept.

Overall experience 6. 5/10.
