Wala na rin masyadong high-level chicks dito. May iilang Koreans and Chinese, pero konti lang. Expensive too at predatory ang environment sa dami ng peddlers. Not sure why you would go here when Bali or Koh Samui is cheaper or almost the same price with better food and hotels, unless siguro hindi ka maka abroad talaga.

I feel like Manila is cheap, as long you as you do not try to live like an effin expat or a seaman. 14K can already get you a decent condo unit good for 2 people as long as you avoid Makati, BGC or Ortigas. Electricity is probably 2-3K. Food, how much can you eat anyway? Just buy at a clean carinderia or cook your own. Avoid grab and takeouts. Entertainment is almost free these days courtesy of the internet, unlike before.

Easy Money
chessboxin replied to Switlass's topic in Money, Finance, Investments, Crypto, Stocks, Banking, Business, Loans
Mabilis lang naman yan maubos pag pumasok sa sa sugal or magtry ka mag maintain ng babae. Visit MPs as much as you want. Iwas lang na mangbahay ng babae at magbigay ng monthly allowance. Pag may binahay ka na, kahit busy ka sa work at wala ka sa mood umiyot naglalabas ka pa rin ng pera hehe -
Mahirap maghanap ng escorts sa Europe, unlike sa Asia na may districts talaga meant for them at accessible pa. I always get blue balls especially if the trip is around 2 weeks kaya umiiwas na rin ako.

Medyo mababa FV/BV sa spas dito imho and its expensive. Probably better than spas here if you're into thin chinitas but not what many of us are expecting. Yung mga vietnamese na nakikita niyo sa tiktok, mostly nasa KTV sila. Hindi na ako nagtry, feel ko kailangan mo ng local pag gusto mo ng KTV. Vietnam, unlike other east asian countries, can get really scammy.

Why Do Beautiful Women Fall For Ugly Men?
chessboxin replied to munchkins and donuts's topic in Matters of the heart
There are more pretty Filipinas than handsome Filipinos. Also, there are a lot of gay men in the Philippines. Usually sila pa yung gwapo, may pinagaralan at may pera. The ratio of straight men to straight women these days is probably 60:40. -
U Know You've Put Ur Money To Waste When..
chessboxin replied to misbyutiful's topic in Culture and Living
Hindsight is always 20-20. When you're short on cash you see all the things you wasted money on. 1. KTV na hindi ka naman nakapag gimmik 2. Spa na pumatol ka sa budol prices imbis na umuwi na lang 3. Mga pinautang mo na hindi ka na binayaran 4. Mga local at foreign trip na di mo naenjoy -
I miss going on honest-to-goodness dates, the simple and cheap kind you went to when you were in college. Movie, arcade, karaoke, burger king. When you go higher on the economic ladder, parang hindi na pwede ang ganyang dates kasi iba expectations. Kailangan antonios sa tagaytay, boracay or concert. Pag ganyan date mo sasabihan ka pang stingy

Nangungutang sa ibang tao para may pangluho. Sa ibang bansa, nangungutang din sila pang luho pero at least sa credit card nila chncharge. Dito, mangungutang talaga ng tig 500 sa lahat ng kakilala. Crowdsourcing amp. Tapos since medyo maliit kada tao walang balak bayaran hoping na makalimutan na lang
-
Pag right in the middle of a tourist area yung spa, wala yan. Pag may white tourists din na guests wala rin. Yung mga FS usually nasa mga hindi tourist areas kaya maghahanap ka talaga.
-
Wala na masyadong mga Chinese kasi nawala na pogo at bagsak economy nila ngayon. Mostly Koreans these days kaya si Psy kinuha nilang endorser.
-
Kahit may pera ka, yung oras madalas ang mahirap. Pag busy kasi sa work tapos nag abroad ka for a week, hindi ka rin masyado makapag relax abroad. Hindi maiwasan na may nagmmessage. This year, not so good ang schedule. Konti lang long weekends.
-
Overrun by peddlers. Alok ng alok lalo na sa Station 2 area. Hindi ka papayagang manahimik maglakad sa beach. Also, may reasonable accommodation naman pero overpriced ang 5 star hotels. Presyong Europe.

Just because you're abroad doesn't mean that you should let your guard down. Like in the Philippines, avoid street walkers, and peddlers offering girls. Sa Japan nga, they drug you and practically imprison you in a Kabukicho bar, paano pa sa Vietnam? There's no need to engage that much risk just to have sex. As long as it's not a legit spa for foreigners and women, almost all spas in Vietnam offer "boom-boom". Walang hiya-hiya doon. Kahit hindi cubicle type ang kwarto, maraming thera game sa ATW kahit sa CR niyo pa gawin. You will know it when you see it. Most of us here know naman what a legit spa and a spakol looks like. They're scattered all around HCM and Hanoi, you just have to go around a bit. It's not cheap though. Halos kaparehas presyo dito.

Bihira na ang ganyan ngayon. Kung sino ang lalakeng may pera, sila pa ang wais sa pagpili ng asawa. Usually kapwa nilang mayaman ang napapangasawa nila. Hanggang gf or jowa lang yung mga babaeng they find attractive pero hindi "same pedigree" sa kanila.
-
House and lot is only good if you're living in an upscale environment. Pag dinadaanan ng mga tambay, sakit siya sa ulo. Maraming masamang elemento sa Pinas. Ang mga adik pag nangailangan ng pera ang unang iniisip nyan sino pwedeng nakawan.

I miss chilling at my own condo. I am always reminded why I moved out before. Buong araw talaga magulo at maingay sa bahay kasi ang dami namin. Kung medyo umayos ulit income ko, kukuha ulit ako ng condo.

Living Abroad Vs Living In The Philippines?
chessboxin replied to Joey_Jeremiah's topic in Culture and Living
Most Filipinos just look at the gross salary without factoring in the cost of living. Employment is no different from running a business. If you're able to sell an item for 100,000 but the cost is 95,000, you're worse off than someone selling an item for 10,000 but the cost is 3,000. If it's just money, yung net savings mo sa abroad, kaya mo rin maipon dito kasi mura ang cost of living dito. Ang problema lang talaga dito, your lifestyle eventually hits a ceiling because of poor infrastructure. Someone earning 100K a month here lives a lifestyle not so far off from someone earning 2M a month. Parehong stuck sa traffic, parehong napapara ng traffic enforcer, sa parehong resto lang din kayo kumakain. At walang variety ng chicks dito. 99% of the time you're with Pinays. So kung gusto mo makatry ng ibang lahi or ayaw mo sa culture ng pinoy, wala kang choice. -
Pansin ko, ayaw ng pinoy na sila ang naghihintay. Kaya lagi sila late

Its the same crowd and the same food you get in metro manila, but with sand. Thats just my personal opinion though. I love Boracay but at some point the price becomes unreasonable.
-
Walang sense na ang airfare papuntang Boracay. Around 13 to 14K per person. Samantalang 12K lang papuntang Taiwan.
-
JTV. Kailangan once a week either Saturday or Sunday night. Unfortunately wala kasi ako kasama madalas lumabas, kaya that's the most socializing I get on weekends. Doon na rin ako nagddinner. It's expensive. Maybe 6-7K per visit. But I realized it's a cost I'm willing to undertake kaysa sa nababaliw sa bahay whole weekend.

Songdo is a university-business district. Better head to Incheon. The anmabangs are usually beside police stations and government offices. You wouldn't miss them. You need to be able to speak some Korean though.

Feeling Rich, Looking Rich And Claiming To Be Rich
chessboxin replied to augustmoon's topic in Culture and Living
Any legitimately rich people would know that there's zero benefit from bragging that you're rich because: 1. Uutangan ka lang; 2. You will attract the wrong type of women, the gold diggers and 3. If you lose your wealth by some unfortunate circumstances, people have something to say. But it's also not good to be frugal. Always live a dignified life kasi may mukha din wife and kids mo. My entire childhood, my parents were extremely frugal even though we're financially comfortable. I think girls thought I was poor kaya hindi ako sinagot ng lahat ng niligawan ko when I was still studying. -
Sa totoo lang our hobby was more fun around 2-3 decades ago. It was way cheaper back then and the FV/BV was far higher than the average right now. To tell you how cheap it was, I was a college student on allowance and I was even able to regularly go every 2 weeks. Now I'm working and it even takes me a while to save up for a visit. Kaya hindi ko pinagsisihan yung nagastos ko throughout the decades, kasi hindi na ulit babalik yung ganyang rates na tipong twice a week pwede ka pumunta.
