I’m all checked in, I shit, shower and shave then cross the street to the Greenbelt Mall and get me a sim and some load for my phone. I have read that greenbelt can be a target rich environment if you have game but it looked like a mall to me.

Off to LA Café

No game required here. It is the afternoon and the fare is pretty plain. I smile and demur to a dozen overtures. One comes up and introduces herself. 32 or something but pleasant. I tell her upfront I will not be closing any deals so she starts up some investment marketing. I like her enough to start flirting and things warm up. LA Café is NOT a gogo so I wonder what folks thought of the two overgrown teenagers in the corner. I use the groping to slip her about 250 piso and she is very pleased. She was a very good kisser too. I knew that I was not pulling the trigger and she did too but we had fun for about 45 minutes. I then left and checked out Amazonia and Butterfly Bar. A lot of hustle for expensive lady drinks. Manila is very expensive for product that is no better than AC.

I then grab a cab to EDSA. OK, now we are looking at some better product. I don’t remember the bars but they seem pretty fungible. I settle into the first one. It’s early and I’m the first customer but it seems like I’m ignored by all the real hotties. One actually smiles at me so I buy her a drink. FUCK they're expensive. Almost 300 pisos. Well if you want to play… I spend a bunch of time trying to see if we actually are clicking. It takes me about 45 minutes to think she’s a keeper. Bar fine is 1000 pisos. Then comes the delicate part. Her “gift”. OK, I decide that I’m NOT caving and paying just anything and from other boards 1K – 1.5K is what “in the know” types pay. As I thought would happen, awkwardness ensued. I’m not sure but I think that the time I put in caused her to want to go with me. I was NOT budging from 1.5K. I was firm but NEVER suggesting that she was not worth 3K. She kept asking why and I would only reply that “it was important to me”. She agonized over it for an hour. I think she really wanted to go but was stuck before she finally decided that I was serious and she could not discount. Next bar. As soon as I stepped out door girls attached themselves and forcibly dragged me into the next bar. One was a spinner with a KILLER body but only a cute face. Kind of loopy personality. I spent another 45 minutes deciding if I wanted to pull the trigger. I did. There was a pause at my price but it was short. I was thinking she would try and pull a runner but she stayed till 4 AM (6 hours) and just texted me now to see me in an hour before work. Boom boom was good good. I will endeavor that she does not turn into another Tequila Girl (see my last report). I do want to meet up with some girls from FillipinaHeart.com. I have some lined up for cebu.

So begins Day 2
