It’s been nearly a year of Sundays since I last offered a trip report. Back in the days of the JR and Redsnake boards, I posted under the handle of Bumpy, lived in San Diego, and attempted to tell entertaining stories of my experiences in TJ. To make the long story of my absence short: idealistic sensitive monger (ISM) meets beautiful angel fallen into difficult circumstances, they fall in love and overcome tremendous obstacles to build life together, they move to New York where the angel spread her wings and becomes strong beautiful woman, and then the loving couple moves to Singapore because the ISM has good job opportunity. Here the story takes the unexpected twist, the ISM realizes he isn’t content with his conventional white picket fence lifestyle and craves the hedonistic lifestyle of his past. Now the Angel is firmly on her way to a career in the creative artists industry, the ISM is ready to dive into deep end of the cesspool, and the now ex-couple are simply close family.

Ready to dive into full blown monger mode, I needed a suitable setting for my re-debutante ball. Lucky for me I received an e-mail from my very old buddy Porker, asking me if I wanted to make the short trip up to the Philippines and enjoy some debauchery. This sounded like a perfect way to get my sea-legs back and I made all the arrangements for my first all out mongering trip in about five years. While I have had some extra marital activities here in Singapore and on business trips to places like Sao Paulo, Hong Kong, Amsterdam and etc., I was completely anxious and giddy about having five days with the sole focus was whoring, drinking, partying, male bonding, and whoring. The executive summary: I had a fucking great time, AC is fucking bargain, and I highly recommend visiting.

Unlike the corporate world, I think the readers here actually want to know the details. I will try to deliver on the details but there are things I need you to forgive me for upfront.
First, I am way behind on the technology curve and have no digital camera. So I will unlikely have any pictures to offer. However, I did have a few running partners who did manage to capture some of the goods on film. Perhaps they will be moved to offer up some photos to this report. Second, I am very rusty at monger reporting so I didn’t keep any journal or write down any details. So things will be sketchy in parts, names may not be recalled, and the sequences of events may be out of order. Third, since this is my first report in a long time I am going to treat it as a early spring training exhibition and just look to improve in subsequent efforts. And no need to worry I have already bought a digital camera and have a pipeline of things to report. So as bugs says “On with the show this is it……”

I never got the chance to read your older reports, but I can tell that you are an artist and a scholar. I look forward to an enriching reading experience.
