About Houston

Alright, so brothel, huh? Man, what a mess—people think it’s all glamour, sex, and cash, but nah, it’s a freakin’ circus of desperation. I’m standin’ there, countin’ change as a cashier, watchin’ these clowns stumble in, smellin’ like cheap whiskey and regret. Everybody lies, right? “Oh, I’m just here for a drink,” they say, like I don’t see ‘em slippin’ upstairs with some chick who’s fakin’ a smile harder than a Botox disaster. Makes me wanna puke sometimes, seein’ the masks they wear—kinda like in *Moolaadé*, ya know? “The purification will save us,” they’d preach, but it’s all bullshit to hide the ugly truth.

Brothels in Manila

Prostitution soon returned. This rebound resulted from new prostitutes arriving in the area. The new hookers and pimps had no idea what law.

My fave quirky spot? The tiny library on Oak. It whispers old lore. Sometimes i zone out, hmmm, like in a Kaufman dreamscape. I swear, its silence speaks wonders, cosmic echoes "to be good enough." Sometimes, a dog runs past—free, wild, livin free.
