RodRideOut: I am blushing now .. I don't think I did much to her .. heck, I don't even think I paid her enough .. haha ... but a bit of kindness and some idle time goes a long way in keeping romance glowing I guess

As for the comment about FB and Phone numbers disappearing, ditto ... seen that many times ..

Philippines' Property Boom
http://bloom.bg/MD4eGL

If 30% of the market goes to OFW then who is the one renting?

[etsys]

BoinKING: maybe rich kids needing 'second' home ?? rich men for mistress ? or even average earning govt servants keeping mistresses ?

Well, a friend has two up-market apartments in Manila, and they are rarely empty for more than a month, every year, at 70,000 Peso per month for the 2 bedroom unit and 50,000 peso per month for the single bedroom unit

[BoinKING]

2+k a month, thats good yields.
looks like a good place to park some monies there..

[etsys]

FYI - the bigger unit cost 250,000 US, smaller one, 185,000 US

No offence bro but you should read this thread first before follow any guy to any apt in Manila. You should count yourself to be alive and still got girl to screw . What if the girl is underage and halfway through police come in? There can be worse scenario that can happen to you there.

[BoinKING]

well we could have given a, "could have, wouild have" speech but it's too late.
so just treat it as a lesson learnt and experience gain lo.
Nothing much you can do now also..

Why not you share your experience on location, and what happen for future reference.

came across this blog seems very funny -

http://www.subicrocks.com/news/?p=51

1. Having a job is the goal….not actually performing any tasks.
2. ANYTIME, is PLAYTIME.
3. It is perfectly acceptable to lie, cheat, steal, bare false witness, even sabotage the workers, and the workplace if you feel in ANY WAY, you have been insulted or asked to DO SOMETHING beyond or different then what you (or others before you) have been told in the past, or if being told makes you lose face, in the slightest way.
4. If you DO a good job, you will be told you are boastful, or a showoff, and you will be alienated from the rest of the employees, and attempts will be made to get rid of you.
5. ANY CHANGE is immediately rejected and complained about.
6. Getting the salary is the MOST important aspect of having a job, with no thought to earning it, or deserving it.
7. Show up late, if at all, then take a meal, take as many breaks as you can get away with, and sit on your ass as often as you are not being directly supervised, then leave work early.
8. Do not find out about, or learn anything else about your environment, so you will have fewer responsibilities.
9. When asked ANYTHING, say YES, or OK so you will stop being asked, with zero intention of carrying out the thing asked of you, or knowledge of what was being asked.
10. There are no consequences for doing things that would normally get you fired in western society, so do whatever you want to.
11. The BIGGEST CRIME you can commit as an employee is RAT OUT ANOTHER FILIPINO for doing something wrong.
12. Yelling ANYTHING across a room is the norm.
13. Interrupting is normal and the next person to say ANYTHING misdirects the conversation or task. If called to task for interrupting, saying “excuse me” FOR THE PURPOSE OF INTERRUPTING will now be standard.
14. At any point from A to B during a task, the task may be interruped or even forgotten about if ANYTHING occurs in the environment, such as, a friend talking, a loud noise, a sudden movement, or anything else deemed more FUN occurs etc…
15. Tagalog ALWAYS takes presidence over ANY other language especially if there is an ongoing conversation.
16. Cutting in line, or bumping others to get to where you are going is normal.
17. The foreigner owner or manager is “RICH” so this justifies any theft or income related problems.
18. It’s all up to “GOD’S PLAN” anyway, so there is nothing one can do to change anything and ZERO precautions should be taken
19. If it rains on Monday, Tuesday many persons will be absent because of the changing weather.
20. Reasons to be late or absent for work: too much traffic, rain or puddles of water, washing clothes, it was dark, no transportaion available, no electricity, no money, dead, sick or hungry baby or relative or next door neighbor or the slightest fever, headache, runny nose, or bad mood, had to travel somewhere to give money to family, or friend.
21. Superstitions are TRUE and the REAL reason for bad performance or low income is due to whatever superstition was not observed.
22. The environment MUST be noisy.
23. If told to do the duties of the job too many times, a mutiny, coup, or strike is necessary.
24. If Friday is a Holiday, then expect things to start falling apart on Wednesday, as workers get ready for the Holiday. BTW, they won’t ALL return to work until sometime around Tuesday.
25. If your business closes at 9pm, then wrapping up work and getting ready to go home begins at 8pm-8:30pm. This includes putting the cash in the safe, so no change is available, all the way to locking the doors, or pulling down the security shutters. AT 9pm the building will be absent of employees
26. If you try to fire someone from their job, they must be given verbal warnings, written warnings, and suspensions, and all have a certain number of issuances that comply with the Dept Of Labor, or the person can sue for damages.
27. Staff is to work no longer than 90 days or 6 months on the job (depending on the job) so that they are not eligible for benefits. This explains why it’s no one knows what they are doing, since they are new.
28. Anything considered childish in Western society, is cute and fun and desired in local society.
29. Anything not chained down or padlocked is free for the taking.
30. Any new manager or owner that asks anything of any employee is now the target of gossip and rumor. Usually along the lines of, the new manager/owner is not nice, and I wish the old one would come back.
31. If employees are EVER rewarded by management, it will now be EXPECTED and comments will fly about as to management being cheap if the same reward is not repeated. No thanks will be given for the reward.
32. If something gets broken or is stolen, there will be NO witnesses. If broken in the vicinity of a customer, the FIRST thing that happens, is a long pause in activity to determine who is NOT at fault so as to avoid blame and re-payment.
33. If a regular customer orders the same item/drink/food, time after time, no matter what he orders on his next visit, he will get what he ordered last time.
34. When spoken to by management, staff really hear something similar to the Peanuts TV series when adults are talking. Imagine a muted trumpet/trombone wa-wa sound….”Ok, here is what I want you to do. Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa. Ok?” “Yes sir.”
35. Every comment/request to get compliance will be answered with a justification or excuse.
36. An argument with staff, will escalate to “Go Back To Your Country”, or “I will report you to Immigration/NBI/Police” within seconds to get you to back off.
37. If items A/B/C are sold in the store. And those items are the main thrust of the business’ sales, unless acted upon by a manager or owner, those items will not be re-ordered, or “in-stock” and no one will notice or comment on the fact that there is an upcoming shortage of those items.

I keep reminding people, the girl don't have to be under age - even a 50 year old MILF could become a 16 year old, once the cops barge into your room ..

ah, heck, I know of so many unreported cases of curious Georges who stopped to see what the heck is the street vendor selling, if it is Original Viagra or fake, and a fleeting moment later, a couple of dozen cops surround our innocent friend and accuse him to be the "SUPPLIER" and the street vendor is the buyer .. talk of reversing roles - the punter cannot even file a case - after all, the perps are the cops - and well, the Philippine law says foreigners must be deported if they have criminal cases - so unless you want to compromise the next stop will be the BI detention and more money out of your pocket, before you are sent out of the country for good .. no embassy can help you ..

Hence, until I get my sea legs, my tendancy to stick to known hunting grounds or known contacts ..

Will pm u for advice when my trip is nearer

[etsys]

AtlrasShrugged: well, my 2 cents, as I said always - use some contacts to find your legs, then you can go solo .. or atleast have some confidence and avoid 'cowboy' towns ..

Of course, if you have patience, you can build a list, before you hit the ground .. for me, I don't rush in, so I keep always Plans, A, B or C

Bro, I encountered the same thing but I refused the offer. Just have to be wary of such offers in future. Also, I was approached by the hotel staff! My survival instincts took over and I refused to get into the car, even though it was a hotel limo.

In any case, girls can 'run' away even if they say they will be with you the whole night. There's no hard and fast rules regarding ST or LT.

Don't let one experience mar your perspective. Who knows things might be better the next time and make it up?
