(June 5th – June 7th) I’ve clumped all these days into one post because I honestly don’t remember which event came first, second, etc.
I hooked up two board members on June 5th – The_Geez from AC2 and Nabi_asia from CH. Both were a lot of fun to party with and both could not have been any further apart when it came to girl interactions.
Nabi_asia was a nice, unassuming guy. Sort of quiet and was totally into the Girlfriend-Experience (GFE). The_Geez, on the other hand, was on a mission – racking up some numbers!
I was going to conclude my report by giving my opinion on the various bars we partied in.
Gecko’s: You can tell from my earlier post that it ranked up there as one of my favorite bars. This place is sort or AC’s version of Cheers to me – “where everyone knows your name”. The girl’s were always a lot of fun and kept the customers happy. They have a very short dancer there. She’s probably a few inches taller than what we would consider a midget. Nabi_asia, The_Geez, and I stopped in every night. Plenty of free drinks to go around and never had any pressure to buy Lady Drinks or refills.
Bunny Ranch: I couldn’t wait to get out of this place. The girls were ugly and none were smiling. The only semi-cute ones were hanging around a table with a Korean customer. He was just sitting there – quiet as a mouse. None of the 6 girls around him made any effort to entertain him. The layout of the bar was nice. There was plenty of room at the stage, as well, as tables and booths along the back. The only positive to this visit was I saw an old friend that I had not seen in ages. He was the papasan at Gecko’s just before Angelo bought the bar. When he left there he managed Kitten Club for awhile. When Kelly fired him from Kitten Club he dropped off the face of the earth.
Brown Sugar: Decent lineup but nothing to write home about. The staff was very friendly and daddy Peter was the ultimate ambassador to fun. He’s one of the only managers I know that, when he offers to buy the table a round, he also includes the girls. Most bars seem to think that the girls don’t count – no matter where they came from. About the only thing that annoys me about this bar is their bakla CR attendants. I swear one of these days one of those boys is going to want to wipe my ass after taking a crap.
Champagne Bar: One of the most consistent bars in town. I’ve been a regular here since 2001 and the fun-meter is always peaking. The waitresses aren’t as pushy with the drinks but that may because they know I will always buy a few Lady Drinks. This bar was the last place my girl worked and many of her friends, including many when she worked at Y-Bar, still dance or waitress here. I get a kick out of seeing the look on my girl’s face when she’s there. She gets hugged at least a zillion times, especially when the girls change dancers and parade through the bar - each one stops and grabs her for a hug as they pass by her. Daddy Tony is a nice guy and seems to know every girl in town. My girlfriend and I must have come in there with at least 6 different girls and he made it his quest to figure out their names or what bar they worked in.
Dirty Duck: We stop by a few times during happy hour. They still have the best selection of girls that early in the afternoon. Never stayed here for more than one drink but, if the weather is really hot, this is a good place to start. The Air-conditioning is awesome and the beers are very cold.
Nero's Forum: Is it me or did the talent fall off a bit here? The place wasn't as fun as it used to be. The waitresses are still too pushy and hog the customers as soon as they walk into the place. There were some nice girls dancing but they just didn't seem to be enjoying themselves IMO. There were very few customers in the place. I came in one night with four girls and also was buying drinks for two waitresses. I never saw the manager. It's not that I'm a Cheap Charlie but when a guy shows up with that many girls, and is also buying drinks for his employees, he should at least make an effort to stop buy and say hello. Maybe I'm getting old and crabby.
(June 8th). The drive back to NAIA was very quick. We made it in 90 minutes. There was zero traffic on the toll road and in Manila. I said goodbye to my girl and checked in. I flew coach to Taipei but upgraded to Business Class from Taipei to LAX. I slept most of the way. The flight landed ahead of schedule and in no time I was on my way back home. I hit the pillow at 1:00am on June 9th and woke up at 6:00am for work…
Well, that’s it. A short trip but fun nonetheless. My next trip is in 22 – 31 August. I hope to see other members there. I always stay at the Orchid so leave your username and a contact method on the marker board by the poolside bar.
