I mentioned yesterday that there has been a whole lotta shakin’ going on lately here in the Philippines. Another earthquake yesterday, and this time it was close enough that I felt it.
Otherwise, it was just another day in the life.
We moved our Sunday routines to Saturday this week.
With my Hideaway duty done, I got on with the rest of my evening.
Honestly, I’m wondering how much longer John’s will be around. Last night, there wasn’t even a waitress to serve us. The kitchen staff brought our drinks and took our order, then headed back to the kitchen to prepare our food.
After eating, we made our weekly visit to Red Bar.
Then it was on to Jumpin’ Jacks for our nightcap.
And then we called it a night and triked on home. It may not seem like much, but this is enough for now, and I appreciate what I have. I know I’ll miss these days when they are gone.
Onward in the June 2014 LTG archives, and it was nice to remember a delicacy from my Korea days: the tasty egg-a-burger. I do believe I’ll have Swan try her hand at making one of these for me.
Nine years ago, I was experiencing my first visit to Pattaya. Here’s some of what I saw there:
In today’s YouTube video, Smart Girl Philippines shares the meaning of some dating terms here in the PI. I’d heard of some of them, with LBFM being one of the first I encountered.
Laugh if you want:
Now it is time to get moving on with the rest of my Sunday, including attending an RSL (Returned Services League, the Australian equivalent of the VFW) charity event. There’s a big money raffle taking place, so I’ll let you know tomorrow if I strike it rich.
Joy is absolutely revolting. I cannot believe you paid money to put your willy in that thing!
re: earthquakes, volcanoes
Stay safe. The PI is in the Ring of Fire, right? So this kind of event isn’t unique.
Honestly, I’m wondering how much longer John’s will be around.
I’ve been waiting for this news for a while. How long can such a place last without its original owner’s force of personality? John was a true foodie. His ideas of quality were molded by his love of, knowledge of, and respect for food. After his death, the only people who could really carry on his tradition would have to be fellow foodies, not whoever is running his joint right now. So this was only a matter of time.
I hate to sound cold, but—gone by this time next year?
re: Joy
I wasn’t going to say she looks revolting, but she does look a little preggers. Is she? She seems to be a few months along. That’s a pretty distinct bump. Who’s the lucky father? I realize this isn’t the kind of question you can ask a woman directly, and in a small town, if you did ask around, word of your snooping would eventually get back to Joy, so I have no idea what you can do to find out the truth without causing the womenfolk to chase after your balls with hedge clippers.
Ask the AI god: “subtle ways to find out if a Filipina is pregnant.”
Or ask Swan what she thinks is up. Women have that sixth sense.
But man, was I in for a surprise! There wasn’t a pussy in the place.
I assume that’s someone with a little “something extra.” Or did they go snippy-snip with the hedge clippers, leaving only the chromosomes?
Hope the charity event went well.
Kevin, yes, the PI is located in the Ring of Fire. I just want to avoid falling into it like Johnny Cash did.
I’ve been surprised that John’s has maintained the overall food quality so far. But service, not so much. I used to enjoy sitting upstairs in the open-air “bar” area, but without a waitress stationed there, it was a pain to get properly taken care of. So, now we dine on the main level, but they can’t seem to keep a waitress employed there either. The fact that food items are “out of stock” appears to be another indicator that things are not going well. I think another year of business is optimistic.
Well, Joy has been putting on the weight, but I hadn’t really paid any attention to her belly. She already has two kids, but I don’t know if she has a boyfriend. I honestly don’t care either way.
Yes, that was a ladyboy encounter in Pattaya. I don’t know if she had been snipped or not; the subject didn’t *ahem* come up. Anyway, I recall her being very warm and friendly, and she gave me advice on what to look out for as a newbie in Pattaya. “Let’s get something straight between us.” Um, no thank you!
Didn’t win a damn thing last night, but the money I spent is for a good cause.
Kiss, I never paid Joy for sex. As far as I know, she doesn’t do barfines. She has put on some weight over the years, I’ll grant you that.
