randiuno Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Ok... I have lost my mind...I need to find another job...or a real job...or something to keep me from returning to S.E. Asia so often. My family and friend have given up on me... Returning to Cebu and Malapascua on May 8. Probably won't have much of a mongerers trip report since I'm foolishly returning to spend long time with one of my prior traveling companions... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hefe Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Thanks for keeping us informed of your travels, the info you share doesn't have to be about mongering necessarily, certainly the relationship with a transpinay, as opposed to a Thai ladyboy, is a refreshing change & interesting to follow if you want to post that here. Maybe it will lead to disappointment but it sure will be an interesting ride! I'm corresponding with a few transpinays now, but unable to return soon due to circumstances but hopefully before the end of the year I would like to go back & meet up with a couple of girls. They can be real fun, but you have to keep your antennae up. BTW she's pretty hot, I don't blame you for catching the fever! :crazysmile: Good luck!

pdogg Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 returning to spend long time with one of my prior traveling companions... As Hefe says it'll be an interesting ride! Gotta go with what feel right to ya and she obviously feels right. She sure looks right! :p And if in the future your heart or your little head leads you elsewhere, you'll still have lots of mongering opportunities. Enjoy every minute Randi! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randiuno Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 @Hefe and @Pdogg...thanks for the encouragement...of course once I decided to go back and see one girl, my head began telling me that I need to change plans and go for a wild sexcapade with 10 different girls...however, I know after one or two days of mongering, I will get nostalgic for romance. So yes...I will relate the strolls on the beach as the sun sets, candlelight dinners, and snorkeling adventures for the group for those interested in something other than reports of slipping the hot sausage into the warm bun. Count down...less than 30 days to Cebu! Randi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibound Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 just popped in to say you are showing *true* commitment. i just arrived first trip to Cebu and though i'm way too old for TR's i can report that the ladyboys are coming out of the woodwork here. the squirrel told me about this thing called online dating. ever hear of it? my first try was for this holiday and... if you want to meet a million ladies without going to a single bar, just sign up (free, just do free, no need for upgrade on any of it) at pinalove.com and dateinasia.com and you will be the most popular thing on the planet--or it will at least feel that way. and while you're at ayala mall (cebu city's #1 meet-and-greet place) waiting for your 'blind date' (photos and profile only prior to meeting)--and your date will *always* be 15-45 minutes late. always.-- so,while you wait... just stroll about and look at who you see and if you see a cutie just see if you catch her eye and smile. nothing lewd or graphic. just a friendly smile. IF she smiles back, follow that up with the famous silent sign language of holding up your cell phone and shaking your head like 'i don't know how these things work but the lady who talked to me on it, just can't be found....wonder what i should do for lunch instead...' no shit. i'm old and average and i currently feel like a demi-god. though i'm sure it'll pass...it hasn't yet. btw, i heard there are beaches somewhere on Cebu. apparently it is an island. and i hear the weather is hot when you're not indoors. i can not attest to either of those really. so little time, so many....well, anyway, good luck with that one sterling beauty in May. one more thing: the girls do *not* all speak good english. just not true. sorry all you mongers who told me i'd be thrilled at the conversations i could have regarding physics and the meaning of life. just not going to happen. so far 50% speak english well enough for a fluid conversation. 40% less than that. 10% very good english--and those are the girls who work the call centers that you reach when you call from your homes in the english-speaking western world. so, better than thailand--or should i say, better english than thailand, absolutely true. but don't get your hopes too high. just be happy with an understandable, fit, tall, lean, dark, appreciative, femmeboy-type ladyboy--haven't seen many tits anywhere here yet (but that might be my own pre-chosen interactions at work there)--and although one of my dates pointed out a few good-looking "professional escorts" sitting at a table outside a restaurant one evening in Ayala Mall--i have yet to go with a ladyboy who wanted (or at least asked me for) anything more than the free dinner and taxi fare home after -- usually as much "after" as i desired. so, Cebu gets a thumbs up from this guy as a first-choice for visa-runs from Thailand. but it will *not* replace Thailand for me. no way. not yet anyway... :crazysmile: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the report from a Thai veteran to validate what I observed and experienced in Cebu. Glad you are having a great time. Hope you are treating the girls with respect. The thing I sensed from the filipino transpinay, is that they just wanted to be treated like "real girls", meaning they want a guy to be with them in public, take them on a date for nice meal, and hold their hand....apparently, the filipino men will not do that...so you are literally making their fantasy come true when you "take them for a nice meal...." It seems that is worth more to them than the tip you might give them at the end...but I would recommend giving them at least a tip of at least 1000 pesos for deluxe cab fare...it is still a hard life for them... Cheers and peace out. Randi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they accomodating for you bringing ladyboys in and out of the hotel. I stayed at Diplomat before which was ok. Was wondering if you had another recommendation. I'm thinking I might just go crazy as a mongerer after all for a few days. Also, how did you approach the girls. Did you say you just wanted fun for the afternoon or night? I would be interested in your "game rap". Randi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibound Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 So far i've stayed at the new Quest Hotel -- directly across from the west entrance to Ayala, but across a ridiculously busy street -- which will be great once the fucking paint dries! it stunk so bad i had to move out, but while there i got not even a second glance as i met a ladyboy in the lobby and walked her up to my room. in fact, although they had told me in a prior email exchange that i would need to register my 'guest' at the desk -- for my safety and theirs and to which i readily agreed -- on the actual night-of-the-visit, no one in the lobby even looked our way, so we just took the elevator up. and again the next night, same deal. i then switched to the Harolds Hotel, about 3 blocks away, but still a short walk to Ayala--actually one of the GG's told me it was a "long walk" as she sweated a bit by the 3rd block, so next time i took a taxi which was about 3 minutes and cost me 60php incl tip (i.e, $1.50usd). at Harolds, same deal. they told me i had paid for '2 persons in the room' and they couldn't care less who that 2nd person was. or if i changed who that 2nd person was twice a day--which i have done a couple times already. i have not yet gone for a 3some, so haven't had to face any 'joiner fee' in that regard, although it would appear the girls here are more than ready for a 3some--in fact several of the girls i have met thru the internet sites asked if they could bring along a friend to our first meeting. i presumed this was more to get their friend a good free lunch than anything else, but turns out, in two cases the girls volunteered to *both* come to my room. and neither time did either girl want any money. unfortunately their friends were never sufficiently cute to go for it--not when i had another possibility lined up for a first-meet only 2 hrs after the meet i was on. yeah, like an assembly line here. and the hottest was the GG i just walked up to when the LB from online was "lost" for an hour. she was tiny and lovely and leaning over the railing with her cell phone in hand. i caught her eye and just smiled like a polite person would do. she smiled back. i did not go straight over but instead approached tangentially and took a position about 20' down the railing and futzed with my own phone, allowing my frustration to be visible. i then glanced over and when she glanced back and returned my smile a second time i said something extremely clever like 'it's hard to make dates over the phone'. or maybe i said 'i'm hard to date alone' or maybe it was 'goddamn you are so fucking beautiful why are you standing here alone?'. whatever i said was irrelevant. i approached quietly, smiling, ready to bow and disappear at the slightest frown, but no frown was forthcoming. she found me extremely entertaining. i said my luncheon date had stood me up and perhaps she would keep me company. she said no and i said okay. i then moved a few feet away, continued to fail to reach my would-be date and as i turned to go i said again 'i guess i eat alone--unless you let me buy you lunch?' and this time she looked around, seemed to assure herself she was safe and said 'ok'. and so i took her to lunch. over the course of lunch i gradually asked her if she had a boyfriend. if she liked foreign men. if she'd ever dated a foreign man. if she would consider dating me. when might she consider that. was she busy after lunch. would she like to see my hotel. and then she said 'what can you give me? and i knew i was in. and she -- the GG i picked up at the mall -- was the *only* date i hired/paid. we agreed upon the vast sum of 1000php for the hour ($25usd) as for giving a generous luxury taxi tip after, not a bad idea. i've gone the route so far of extravagant meals and lots of minibar and actual taxi money--but not over-the-top. maybe if i get to a 2nd date i'll consider that. oh one note! change some cash before you come. at the airport it was actually a 30% markup -- traded me baht for peso at 1 for 1. and even at the hotel the markup was 10-15%. finally got to an ATM but there the 200php "fee" adds a sizeable amount when only withdrawing enough for a week or two in a country. so, maybe go to a bank where you are and get 10,000 php (roughly $250usd)--and that may well be all you will need as i've found i can live on my AmX card at most restaurants--even Starbucks--and the less money i change, the more money i save. so the cash is really just for the ladies and the taxis. at 1000 pesos each--if you pay anything at all...well, you do the math... then enjoy. now off to meet another LB beauty from dateinasia--and no more TR's dammit. it's so easy here, anybody can do it. just have to decide if i need to pull my ass out of cebu city during my 2-week stay or save manila for next time. might not even get to moalboal--though somebody's notes have left me tempted... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hefe Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Well I know these things change all the time & this may not be current, but the HSBC ATM across from the Marriot by Ayala mall had the same fees as other atms but allowed you to get 40k pesos at one withdrawal, more than any other that I knew of when I was there. The malls are definitely the daytime places to pick up in the PI, but you are correct about the limitations on English usage particularly with the more provincial girls, I forgot that some don't speak any at all. And some of the better speakers of English seem to have different meanings for words than we do since conversations sometimes got nowhere for no apparent reason.

thaibound Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 here's an example of how easily misunderstood we can be that's happening right now as i multi-task: i am having an IM chat with a hot LB and she has asked me if she came to visit: "you would help me for the fare?" i said "Sure, what is the fare?" and she replied: : "Fare--for the plane." and so it goes. :crazysmile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
