MasterCard Moments

There are some things money can’t buy. Sure, you can think of “precious” memories, “loving” moments, even “embarrassing” anecdotes to name a few. More important for me, though, are those little details in life that, no matter what you do, you will never get back; things you wish you could have just paid some money to hang on to, or even keep forever. Those memories, those moments, those anecdotes you wish you could put in a small box and lock up for God knows how long.

But before you even bring out the kleenex, or start playing the soundtrack of “Beaches,” or both, this is NOT that kind of post.

Club Membership to an “exclusive” club – PhP 3,000++ per month
Personal Trainer – PhP 9000++ per 10 sessions
Peace inside the locker room from howling homosexuals with no voices – priceless.

One would think one is safe from the noise and bustle of the outside world of the men’s locker room inside the zen and quiet confines of the sauna. Wrong. And as you begin to think of porn scenes and queens parading in nothing but their towels and AussieBums, think again. At least, in fantasy (or in the other clubs, heck maybe even in this one), these things exist. But when you expect nothing but to get really sweaty inside the sauna, and get a) a call center faggot with a tr
