58kg is a behemoth for that height.

Be very careful when taking a mortgage. Percentage rates are calculated the Filipino way, and you are likely to pay double the rate you think you are getting.

Yeah, I feared so. Just gonna check her out when arriving in Manila and before heading to Davao. Probably she's just colossal tits. Yeah, guess that's it. Most certainly, yeah... Damnit.

I've walked into stores and had the sales girl just shake her head "no sir".

youre telling me clothes i buy here wont be XS/S and i might actually fit into a medium !? Im a big boy now!

So ive just realised i have done absolute fkk all here apart from eat and be hungover. Is there anything actually worth visiting in Manila/Makati? Def think im going to move on from here soon and somewhere more beachy. Do many people do road/boat trips through phils or do they just fly everywhere? thinking somthing maybe Manila -> boracay -> tacloban -> Cebu -> Bohol -> whereever -> Davao. feeels bit cheating to fly everywhere and miss out on all the stuff inbetween these places (i have no idea if there is anything inbetween these places worth visiting, but prob is) and i imagine this might get all pricey with **** internet most of these places?

Maybe i should buy lonely planet book

I suggest to take a ferry ; much emjoyable, imo, and even a cargo boat is not horrible. But to get a break from Manila, why don't you try just going to Mindoro? It is only about 3-4h away from Manila (I recommend a bus over the taxi to get to Batangas pier) and White Beach is surprisingly nice for so close to Manila... (Sabang is dirty, but pact with working girls, if that is your thing...). By doing so, you will get a feel if you prefer the land and sea slow transportation over flying...

I prefer to take the ferries over flying (time permitting) and then renting a motorbike to explore the island in question. And I would include Siquijor in my list of places to see, if you like laid back beach towns...

The Asian Poker Tour jus annouced that they will open by the end of february their own poker room in Manila: http://somuchpoker.com/asian-poker-t...r-room-manila/

Pokerstars did the same last december: it seems that the live poker is more and more interesting

Hi there.
I'm new to this thread, so sorry if these questions has been asked 1000 times before.

I'm currently living in Thailand, but considering moving to The Philippines.
90 dollars for 12 months tourist visa is +EV.

I want to live by the beach somewhere on Cebu Island.
Quiet enough so I can have a jog on the beach between my sessions.

Moalboal, Cebu looks like my kind of place.
Any poker players living there already?
Any better suggestions?

How is the internet?
Seems to be kind of slow, but is it stable enough?

Does 888 poker work from The Philippines?

I've been to moalboal, its nice. Pretty quiet.

I can only comment on the internet in the hotel, which was pretty slow, but that doesn't tell you anything.

Beach isn't great, its more "coast" than beach. Its a scuba location if you are interested.

Suggest you travel around a few places and try it out before setting your heart on one specific location
