Day Nine
Today would turn out to be a productive information gathering day, but not a very productive sex day. I woke up late and was still pretty tired. I got dressed and walked down the side street from the Heritage that runs parallel to Roxas Boulevard. There is a Burger King, McDonald’s and some Kenny Rogers chicken place located down that road. There are also several ATM’s to withdraw money from. I grabbed something to eat, grabbed some money and then headed over to New Magellan Massage.
A buddy of mine had written instructions for me to find the place, but he wrote it was east of Taft on the south side of Sen. Gil Puyat (Buendia Ave). The corner of Taft and Senator Gil Puyat is quite busy and bustling. There is also a big metro rail station there as well. I started walking east and could not find New Magellan. I continued walking east until I started feeling a little uncomfortable with the area, so I flagged down a taxi and went to Topaz Massage instead.
Topaz Massage is located on Yakal Street on the corer of Talisay in Makati. They are open 24 hrs and I was quoted prices of 1500 for a regular room and 2000 for a room with a Jacuzzi. The selection around 4 or 5 in the afternoon was large, but there was not one woman in the aquarium that I was even slightly attractive to. The building was incredibly hot and uncomfortable and the woman behind the glass – the cashier – did not seem friendly at all. I did not do a session there and did not return for the remainder of the trip.
So then I headed over Makati and the famous P. Burgos Street. I was dropped off right on the corner of Kalayaan and P. Burgos Street and the first bar that I noticed was Cuddles.

Now as you read this keep in mind that I did very little research beyond some skimming of the Manila guides and reports and what friends have told me. I had a little idea of what I was walking into, but not a good grasp on it.
I walked in around 6pm and there were about three ladies dancing on the stage. This bar was pretty small and narrow and the stage probably only accommodates about 5-6 dancers total. The mamasan comes over and plops herself down next to me and demands that I order her a drink. I tell her no way.
Then after about five minutes of sitting alone I was attacked by four ladies. Somehow, and I don’t remember how, they convinced me to take them all back to a private glass enclosed dark booth directly behind me and buy them all a round of drinks at 300 pesos each. So I did that and that is where some heavy petting, tit sucking, dick massaging and kissing took place.
The mileage was decent, but near as good as what someone could get in AC for a third of the price. The frolicking was decent and fun, bit still quite expensive compared to AC, but not quite as expensive as say buying ladies drinks in Nogales.
There was one lady in particular I took a liking to. Her name was Dori and she was 22. She was very, very skinny and did not have a large chest at all. She wanted me to take her, but I politely explained that I was not going to pay her 3000 peso barfine and then pay her on top of that. She immediately, but discreetly wrote her cell phone number on a napkin for me and told me to call her either tonight at 4am when she got off work or tomorrow in the daytime.
Sweet! My first Makati lady and she was already willing to part with the barfine to spend some time with me. I told her I would probably call her later tonight to hookup. I gave her a hug and kiss goodbye and then headed over to Foxy’s.
I should also note that Cuddles had incredibly high drink pressure. There was a gay guy who claimed to be a supervisor or manager and the dude was so annoying. He was constantly coming back into the private booth like every two minutes asking about more drinks for the ladies. Then he promised me a free shot and I had to “remind” him several times before he brought it. The whole atmosphere at Cuddles was annoying and I don’t recommend the bar at all. The talent was decent and I got out of the place with a phone number, but I still would bypass this bar.
Foxy’s is right down the street from Cuddles (walk east) on Kalayaan.

The place was rather roomy inside. The lounge is open from noon to 8pm. The bar is open from 8pm to 4am seven days a week. There were about 20 ladies on stage, but none that I was really wanted to have sex with. They had a 1900 peso barfine there and you can get a blowjob upstairs in a private booth for the cost of 5 lady drinks at 300 pesos each.
There was still high drink pressure from the waitresses there, but not nearly as bad as it was at Cuddles. I did eventually find a nice lady there and brought her over for a drink. I chatted with her for a while and she wanted to go with me as well. I again explained I did not want to pay the barfine and she gave me her cell phone number as well for a possible late evening or daytime romp. I hung out with her for a little while longer and then headed over to Billboard.

The place is located directly across from Oxford Suites. It is hands down, the coolest bar in the Philippines with the most beautiful dancers, the best music, the best looking GRO’s, the best DJ’s and one of the best atmospheres of any bar/club I have ever been inside.
The décor inside is done up quite nicely. As you walk in there is narrow bar along the right with stools and seats to the left. Once you get to the back of the bar you find a large main stage with gasoline storage barrels below it. This stage is where choreographed dancing routines by beautiful, professional dancers take place. They have several sets of dancers that come out in groups of four of five. Some were called Billboard Dancers, Go Girls, and Fly Girls. There were probably more, but the Billboard dancers were my absolute favorites.
Below that main stage in a semi circle is a sunken dance floor where the GRO’s and customers can dance. Surrounding the outside of that semi-circle dance floor is about 6 or 7 small tables with vinyl couches behind them. The tables line the outside of the semi-circle sunken dance floor.
The coolest thing the GRO’s do with these tables is get up on them and dance. The area on the table is quite small, but it is so cool to watch. So you have four professional dancers on the main stage doing a choreographed routine. Then you have 7 hot GRO’s on the tables in a semi-circle shaking their asses back towards the main stage. It was awesome to watch.
The DJ’s were located on a platform directly above the main stage. Directly opposite of the main stage and DJ platform was the front end of a 57 Chevy that had a license plate on it that said “57 Chevy.” There were also stoplights and old style gasoline pumps decorating the bar and they had license plates from all around the world. Two that I remember were California and Rio de Janeiro. Off to the east or on left side of the stage if you are walking in from P. Burgos was an enclosed and segregated smoking room.
The GRO’s at Billboard were absolutely incredible and absolutely stunning in appearance. The first lady I met was Nicki. I was so close to taking her despite the 3000 peso barfine and the 3000 pesos she wanted on top of that. I tried my “I don’t want to pay the barfine” trick and then she suddenly had menstruation. Ah well, you can’t win them all.
Later on in the evening I met another hot young lady. This lady was 19 and a virgin, but I still bought her a couple of drinks and hung out with her. I wanted this chick so badly as well. She had an incredible body and I thought possessed a beautiful face. Here are a couple of pics of her. I wish I could have fucked her….

I love that place. There was high drink pressure to continue purchasing drinks once I had started drinking with a lady, but other than that the place was just awesome. Highly recommend! I finished up with my 19 year old virgin and then headed to Bottoms.

This place was recommended from the board, but I was not impressed with either the talent or drink pressure. A fat and older mamasan, who had a very pretty face for an older lady, came over and plopped herself down next to me and wanted a drink shortly after I entered.
I fought off the mamasan and was enjoying the show a bit. The atmosphere there was ok, but nothing that impressed me too much. I eventually found a girl and made out with her in the smoking room for a while, but I decided to head over to Bar Bandido, which was across the street, instead of staying any longer. Bottoms was another typical 3000 peso barfine, 300 peso lady drink place.

This bar was sunken a bit and is underground. Well, you head down some stairs to enter the bar. Bar Bandido was pretty cool and I agreed with the other posters that have recommended it. The ladies there are also really, really cool. The barfine at Bar Bandido is 1900 pesos and the lady drinks are 300.
I met a lady there named Cherry, who was 19. She was a really cool chick. She was friendly and outgoing, spoke great English and had a really good attitude overall. There was another lady there I met, who was kind of older and unattractive, but somehow talked me into a playing a game of Connect 4 with her for a lady drink. I, of course, lost and had to buy her a drink. I also bought Cherry a drink and hung out with her a bit.
I almost barfined her, but for some reason I didn’t, which was probably a mistake. It was getting closer to 4am now so I headed back to Cuddles to say hi to Dori, but I was getting tired so I quickly left. The plan was to head to back to the Heritage and take a short nap. Then I would call Dori so I could meet her and bring her back to my hotel. I set the alarm for 4am and the next thing I knew it was around 10 in the morning. All that work and I didn’t get to fuck one single time!
Some initial thoughts on Makati.
If you don’t have deep pockets and cannot easily say no, then Makati bars are not for you. It is so much work in the Makati bars to constantly fend off drink pressure from everyone that wants to separate you from your money as quickly as possible. If you have trouble telling people no, then do NOT go to Makati. If you are rich and don’t mind spending a lot of money on drinks that won’t get you any closer to sex, then don’t worry about it.
It is hard to just sit back and relax in the Makati bars. You are constantly being bugged for drinks and constantly being nagged about one thing or another. That is why Bar Bandido and Billboard and to a lesser extent Foxy’s were a nice change from the high pressure places like Cuddles and Bottoms.
The diddling mileage in the Makati bars is not nearly as good as the diddling mileage in the AC bars. The AC bars are also so much more laid back and relaxed. Going to Makati after coming from AC was quite an adjustment and change. The flip side of that, of course, if that the ladies in the Makati bars were SO much better looking than the ladies in the AC bars.
I was able to get phone numbers from the ladies about 60-75 percent of the time. I would continue to use this to my advantage for the rest of the trip and would recommend asking for numbers and see where it gets you.

Once again you are making me regret not making the Manila run I had planned. I cannot believe you did not barfine Cherry. WTF were you thinking ?? Was Dori that hot or was it the extra 3,000 pisos ?? I guess after AC prices 6,000 pisos for LT is a huge jump upwards. In the big picture however it is still only $107, but pricey even by Thailand standards.
I just talked myself out of Manila-- Why pay more for pooying who do not come up to Thailand standards ???
Perhaps you can tell I'm slightly wasted as I type this free flowing post . Still a great report. I guess you got your money's worth in chapters to come via cell phone contact-- look forward to next thrilling chapter !!

I will check out Billboards again tonight. These bars rotate constantly as far as how hot the girls are. A place that has excellent talent on a consistent basis IMHO is the Enchanted Room in Pappillon and Flamingo. Manila has been sliding a bit on my last few trips, especially EDSA which is a shell of what it once was and rarely busy.

Xenono, It sounds a lot like Patpong in los.Interesting.
By Merlin on Monday, April 19, 2004 - 06:53 pm: Edit |
Xen, I hit up all the bars you did and agree with you your observations. As Blazers noted, the talent changes b/c when I was there about a year ago, Cuddles had some cuties. As you may know, I had the most fun at Bandidos and loved just hanging out with those girls.
I actually thought Makati was a bit less pressure than some of the EDSA complex go-gos. Those girls are damned pushy and rude. The girls are prettier at EDSA but I couldn't relax there.

Xen,
Great club low-down. I usually spend a night or two in Manila on any trip to PI and have found too much pressure also. I prefer EDSA over Makati, but it's high pressure everywhere and drinks add up very quickly. I don't mind buy a gal a drink and socializing, but I'm usally swamped by 6-12 of them at a time and never seem to be able to shake them. Any tips on handling drink pressure would be useful (besides telling them to f-off!)
By Xenono on Tuesday, April 20, 2004 - 05:04 am: Edit |
I did not find the drink pressure very high in EDSA, but I agree with Blazers. The talent was kind of lacking there, although Space Girls had a lot of hotties my first night there.
I have a lot more clubs on P. Burgos to review in later chapters.
DM,
Actually, I do have some tips about being swamped by 6-12 ladies as soon as you enter. This only happened at some of the clubs though. I don't want to spoil my later chapters, so all I will say is "stay tuned!"
Billcink,
Interesting comment about Patpong. I never really spent too much time in Patpong during my trips to Thailand.
KM,
I just never got around to calling Dori. I fell asleep. I prolly should have BF'ed Cherry though. The BF at Bandido was only 1900. I agree that is a cool bar to kick back and hang out with the ladies.

DM ----
The way I handle a gaggle of pooying swarming for lady drinks in Patpong should work fine here also.
If I have already bought one girl a drink and suddenly 10 others appear I tell girl # 1 that if she wants any more drinks or any chance of barfine- she better make her " friends " dissapear.
If I have just walked in and there are 10 girls all over me, I call over the mamasan - buy HER a drink-- and tell her I will leave soon if the swarm does not clear. Gets instant action either way and you look like a " strong Hansum Man " not a jerk !!!! Never had it fail.

I was surprised that you never tried the massage at Heritage. They charge around 750 pesos for the formal massage, but when you get the girl to your room or in the private rooms in the basement, anything goes. The fees can be as low as 500 pesos to as high as $100 U.S. if your that stupid to pay.
