Yes Pdoggg: HASSLE! I am increasingly feeling that some mongering actions that used for me to be a thrill are becoming more and more of a "hassle". It's not that I stopped enjoying sex or the pursuit thereof, just that I have become older and more learned and now tend to anticipate the ensuing hassles before they even happen. For example: I have become really proficient at sweeping 40-50 yo non-prosti pinay women straight into bed within an hour or 2 of us first meeting. But then they all want to latch on to me, some say they fell in love with me, and it becomes a HASSLE to disconnect from them without being hurtfully blunt which is not my style. So, as I write these words, I lie in bed alone for the night because Mowgli having sneaked out last night to be with me cannot risk doing it 2 nights in a row. In the past, I would relish the opportunity to pick someone else absent my default partner. But today I just stayed in. Not out of consideration to Mowgli who I am very fond of. It is because of the HASSLE of meeting someone new. Grooming myself, cruising, drinking, negotiating, putting a condom, tipping or not ... it all feels like a Hassle tonight... I am afraid TRing is starting also to feel more like a Hassle in lieu of the fun creative outlet that motivated me in the past. That's all I have to say today... R

PG's interest in taxi scams sparked my own and I googled "NAIA yellow taxi scam" and there are a lot of internet records of it. By law Manila taxi meters are set and sealed at standard fare but apparently the yellow airport taxis are routinely rigged allowing drivers to switch to faster distance metering. Moreover they try to subtract the duplicate piece of paper record the dispatcher gave the passenger (I actually allowed it this time). It's all the more brazen since these are official airport taxis. Come to think of it, I have probably been overcharged before only not so much as this guy was trying to. In the end the trip (after he reset the meter to regular fare) was 300 pesos (same as a regular white taxi). I may in my last trip have paid double that and thought it was a legitimate premium charge for the airport taxis. This guy just was too greedy and it would have cost 4-5 times more. Next time I will know to convey upfront before I even step into the car that I am not falling for rigged meters ... or I take a Grab. As to the pics, I may post some later on especially when I go outside Manila. But the only ladyboy I have been with so far is Mowgli who I am too fond of to expose in a mongers Board. Read on: Mowgli is from a good family and yesterday was Mother's Day and she wanted to celebrate with the family. She had indicated she might come visit me in the afternoon but did not. What she did was join me around midnight after everyone in her household of like 20 relatives was asleep and she sneaked out. We had a nice romantic night together sleeping naked in each others arms but neither of us seemed eager for fuck sex. In the morning I tried to wake her up with a blowjob and was at it for 10 minutes but she was more interested in sleep. I think we are at an awkward lovers-but-non-relationship point whereby we have some feelings for each other but know it will probably not last. I will be in Manila 2 more days and hope to spend another night with Mowgli.

Sorry, I'm drifting off-topic (for the taxi meter), but I had used a taxi meter for almost one year in the USA. We had only few controls : start or reset the meter, start the "time on" function (or "time off") then add extras that would be displayed. Initially, our taxi company had a single rate (day and night) for all rides, but for rides over 10 miles, the meter would automatically add a 20% surcharge for each mile beyond the 10th mile. The main advantage of driving at night was that we could drive faster without encountering traffic, which meant that the meter would accumulate more quickly. We were also advised by the company that we could start the meter (time on) if a customer made us wait for more than 3 minutes, which wouldn't really increase our earnings but motivates customers not to make us wait before starting . Another way to make more money was to provide rides for customers who needed to cash their paychecks at the end of the month since we would wait for them without burning gas. However, it was important to note that we had no othercontrol over the meter and could not make it turn faster than the advertised rates. I still wonder how Pinoy drivers do and how they can change their meter. Regarding Vietnam, I seldom used taxi since they had a bad reputation when I had been there for my first time. I must admit though I had always been satisfied when I used taxi in VN, in HN or Saigon, white taxi or grab cars. BTW, I seldom use taxis. Without bragging, I got used to bus traffic in both cities so I was able to ride across each city for less than a dollar and even less than 2 quarters. I would like to ask you one more question : how much did you pay for your flight from Europe ? How much in advance did you book your flight ? I also wish we could see a few pics. We needn't see painted body but a ladyboy's pic with a nice dress and her face is always pleasant.

It seems at the beginning of our mongering careers it's fun to go out on the new partner hunt. On any given trip we may have found multiple partners that rocked our world in bed so much that we wanted encore performances. But new partners often bring irritation, one small example being the girl who asked Rom to pay her and said she will be back later. So for many of us the hunt is work and we seek known quantities with the objective being a hassle free experience rather than a peak sexual experience.

Yes PG. That's G-Point on Padre Faura, Ermita. After the LA Cafe with many dozens of women around the clock, it's the only other bar in Ermita where you can find freelancers every night but nowadays there are never more than a dozen if that, and they are all OLDER. Much OLDER. It is a fun place to hang out with live music, pool and a lot of craft beers you cant find in other bars. For lunch they have a buffet for 299 pesos which is a good deal. Yes this is a TR from a trip I am currently taking. In general, taxi meters have settings that allow changing fares per distance depending on circumstances (like night fares higher than day fares). Sometimes the drivers can reset the meter themselves, sometimes they cant. In your beloved Viet Nam they encase the meters in sealed plexyglass boxes and even so one tried to cheat me. Here in Manila general taxis don't seem to be able to do that (the one scamming me was an official airport taxi) but what is happening more and more with street taxis is that they refuse to take the passenger unless he agrees to pay above meter. That's just the way it is and it's getting worse every trip. There is no Uber or Bolt. There is Grab but their fares can be higher than the metered fares, which is perhaps why the taxi drivers try to charge more. Zeppie thanks for the tips. I planned to reveal the optician name and location but only once I get my new glasses and am satisfied. The deal I am getting almost sounds too good to be true. As to this TR general style, I had planned for it to be a different, more truncated one than I usually write. More like a quick collection of thoughts like I drafted in the OP and have since degenerated into longer spiels. What you and other BMs like is a classic blow-by-blow TR ('a la snoopdawg) which has never been my style... What used to be my style was TRs with pics, lots of pics, and so far I have posted none even though I have them... I am just trying to contribute to the Board's multilogue with some live from the field content. This is the kind of minimalist posting I envisaged the TR to be, and that understandibly raises more questions than it informs BMs: I find myself caught in that grey area when a monger becomes so fond of a sissy that he holds back on pursuing more of them and yet knows he eventually will. Yesterday I blew my first chance to nail the puking GG hottie and instead I took Mowgli on a respectable afternoon date to a theater premiere attended by Manila's cultural elite, one of whom got me front row tickets. Mowgli was in awe sitting next to a well-known (to her!) TV actor. The play was in Makati so afterwards we went to Burgos for an early dinner at the Filling Station which is an American Pop themed restaurant popular with Manila kids. Mowgli is a sweetie and it was her who insisted to come back with me to the room rather than me dropping her off at home where she had to be at 19:00. More kissing and oral sex. Then after she left I was too tired and got an hour sleep and when I woke up it was only like 21:00 but I did not have it in me to go out hunting for other partners. It's not that I am in love with Mowgli to the point of surrendering to monogamy. it's that I am old and with too much shit on my mind. I just stayed in bed alone wondering what the fuck I am doing with my life.
