I'll not do it this year. I'll ask everyone to meet me at Makati.

well, as a rule, generally, I learn the hard way - rooms with kitchen tend to have 'intruders' as most people who take rooms with kitchen do really cook and spill food, and if not clean properly - roach and what not ..

Well during my trip last week, i took almost 1 hour to get from my hotel in Pearl Manila (Ermita) to Star City, near to MOA.

And that was like 7pm in the evening. Traffic was really a killer.

But on the next night when we headed to Cafe Havana @ Green Belt 3 (around 9pm?) from my hotel it took us less than 20 mins to reach there...strange isnt it haha.

Well thats the traffic in manila i guess.

My suffering was even worse - it was a bloody freaking sunday, and the whole traffic was chock-a-block because of some Filipino Narcotics Association Procession .. and my escort was making joke of it saying it is Philippine Drug Addicts celebration day .. damn ..

As if there is not enough reason to have a procession .. and block the roads ..

Once I was struck in traffic heading south (this was during one of those long weekend) along SLEX due to fiesta in one of the town located just after the expressway. Long weekend is bad enough, + fiesta? The queue started just after the exit at the coke plant.

If you wait till the ferry commences what's left for you will be the lesser units and at a higher price. The club membership alone has gone up by 30% since launch. Do you expect the price to remain when the ferry service commences? When I reserve a unit I had a hard time negotiating with them over the payment scheme. They were hard because they knew their project is selling well.

Sorry Bro I meant it better to wait for the ferry to commence before enjoying the facilities.

In any case there are a total of 13 coves to develop, so long way to go but then again not all coves may be developed the same way.

Membership as I understand is no longer available unless one purchase a condo from SM. Yup the membership is now about 500k compared with 300K when launch.

Then again, filipinos are so smart in business that when the tides are on their way, they will boost the price sky - high, as US based filipinos can afford (or they say .. ) and when I tried to negotiate at one time, a girl said 'you are a cheapskate charlie' .. lo and behold - now she is all lovey dovey over me .. as the US market has gone to dogs and the Fil-Am investment has slowed down .. if it picks up - sky is the limit for their pricing ..

cheers

That is exactly the problem with Pinoy, everyone that come back from abroad behaved like they have made it for life and hence all local pinoys view all foreigners are loaded with truck loads of money.

As for SM, I think they are the richest group in phils, their supermarket and malls are just another cash printing machine just like their bank. Doubt they will drop price.

Interesting. Cheap too.

etsys · #**780** 31-12-2010, 11:58 AM

but then most of the 'pure massage' chicks are a far cry from the word 'cute' and while resisting all offers to 'upgrade' their service, the times they gave in, it was very lowest quality ..

Then again, I am not a fan of MP and such ..
