28		<b>7 APRIL 2007: Melai's here!</b> - It gives me great pleasure and joy to let you know that Melai and myself have, at long last, been reunited again after 1 year, 1 month and 25 days apart.... yeheyyyy! She arrived safe and sound after an uneventful flight from the Philippines. I'm looking forwards to being tied up with Melly for some while to come..... Unfortunately I won't be able to update TTT for a couple more weeks (sorry) because we've got to wait for cable installation: then we'll push out an extra-special update for everybody to enjoy!! Until then, I hope that you all have a happy & safe Easter....

104		<p>
105		Less than one month to go now before Melai arrives Down-Under. She's already booked her plane tickets and we'll be together again just before Easter or "Holy week" as it's known in the Philippines. It's been too long - we will have been 1 year apart next Monday - and our relationship has been suffering for it. There's nothing like being together to cure most ills though...
106		<p>
107		Melai has also assured me that she is going to be much stricter regarding my bondage (and rainwear) 'discipline' than last time. Last year was a learning experience for her, she says. Now that she understands the visceral attaction of bondage (she loves being bound and gagged too), she's looking forward to drawing on her newfound experience... Melai says that once she's finished tying me up, I will stay bound until such a time she decides to release me. She will also bind me when and wherever she feels like it, she says.
108		<p>
109		Melly also reckons that if I like wearing plastic raincoats so much, she's going to oblige me - by requiring that I wear my raincoat every time we go out unless its obviously hot and/or sunny... Do you reckon that I can't wait or what?

Dresses, cutesy <i>short</i> shorts, lingerie, catsuits, the list goes on (today we round off our lingerie collection before looking at shiny shorts, skirts and pants!)
120		<p>
121		In short, there's something for everyone in this plastic fantastic fashion and bondage parade which'll leave you weak-kneed and gasping for breath. If not, there's probably something wrong with you - that or you're from the good state of Utah... ! -g-

126		It's with great pleasure that we introduce Gord from the amazing <b><a href="gallery/house-of-gord-01.htm">House of Gord</a></b>, the home of forniphila (human furniture) and ultra-bondage which combines high-technology, good old fashioned fiendish ingenuity to create the most achingly tight, inescapable bondages that i've ever seen. If you adore rubber and/or seriously stringent bondage, you'll probably love what they've got on offer.
127		<p>
128		There's also a bonus gallery featuring a typical - jaw-dropping - set from Gord as well... I can't help wishing that it was Melai and myself being bound together like this...

167		A) Free tickets to the Super Bowl (or another similar great sporting event such as the World Cup football, the FA Cup at Wembley etc) for your partner/friend and yourself OR;<p>
168		<IMG SRC="images/superbowl02.jpg" WIDTH="143" HEIGHT="100" ALT="" align="left"></A>
169		B) a hot dinner date with a famous "name" bondage model such as Lorelei, Stacey Burke et al (feel free to name the model of your choice) <i>including</i> a free bondage session with her afterwards along with photos of your work.

171		<FONT FACE="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif" SIZE="3"><i>The kicker is that you've gotta choose between the Super Bowl (or the sporting equivalent in your country) or the bondage because they are both scheduled for the same time - which would you pick?</i></font>

203		Only one month to go now - before we're together again... 35 days or 840 hours to go!
204		<p>
205		At the moment we're both experiencing mixed emotions about Melai's move here - excitement certainly, mingled with more than a little nervousness because it's such a big step for both of us. It's not going to be like last time when we basically swanned around Victoria and NSW. We'll be living together - and more importantly we'll be working as well (that's not to say we won't play just as hard either...). In short, welcome to real life.

208		We've also decided to postpone marrying until late September in order to allow Melai more time to settle down and adjust to life Down-Under before making that big commitment. I'm already busy preparing for her arrival, including shopping for our new home - and one of my major purchases is a good bed - specifically a timber bed (see left). There's no prizes for guessing why I wanted this particular design.... /\_/\
209		<p>
210		I have yet to buy a mattress for our new bed - a bondage freak I may be, masochist not :-) But considering the alarming prices that they charge for good quality mattresses though, the slats are becoming an increasingly attractive option.

273		<center><h2>21 February 2007 - It's all good news...</h2></center>
274		<p>
275		Regular readers will remember how I lost up to half of my hearing in less than three weeks last year (May 2006) after contracting labyrinthitis - a particularly nasty inner ear disease - along with losing my ability to discriminate between sounds (causing "thickness" and distortion). It really knocked me around - not so much physically as mentally because I was terribly, terribly depressed for months afterwards.
276		<p>
277		Finally though there is light in sight near the end of a very long, dark tunnel; the Cochlear Implant Clinic has approved my application for a cochlear implant (CI) and I am now officially on the waiting list! The doctors are unanimous about my prognosis for a successful outcome: they think that there is an excellent chance of my hearing being restored to the same - if not even better - levels that I enjoyed before my illness. I'll have to wait anywhere from six months to a year but I can live with that (it is free, after all)
278		<p>
279		To say that I'm happy about this news doesn't describe the depth of my feelings: if this works out, it will change my life in ways I'd never dared imagine. It will not restore my hearing levels to those that "hearing" people enjoy but it will be a vast improvement on what I'm enduring now.
280		<p>
281		Melai and I have also been busy planning and organising everything for her return and we've settled on a date: 5 April 2007, just before Easter! We really can't wait... As I said above, it's all good news!

334		<p>
335		Yes, Melai finally received her visa!
336		<p>
337		I cannot say enough how happy - and relieved - I feel for this. It's been a horrible and deeply stressful few months, wondering, always wondering if Melly would receive her visa. The Embassy hasn't got a great track record of delivering happy outcomes - but they actually said yes after waiting only 4 1/2 months (including the Christmas holiday break) - unbelievable! I was actually fearing the worst when Melai told me that her sister just texted her to say that a Fedexed letter had arrived in Kibungsod (her home town) last Saturday night after which I had to endure a fairly nerve-wracking two hour wait while she caught the bus home before reading everything... and of course the answer was yes! :-)
338		<p>
339		At long last the nightmare is over & we can really look forwards to seeing each other again & the future! The other good thing about all this is that we no longer have to endure the uncertainty - that's been one of the worst aspects of being apart for so long but now we can begin planning and organising everything for her return Down Under :-) Oh, and I also just can't wait for that time Melai decides it's necessary to tie and gag me (any time she feels like it, she says) or make me wear my plastic raincoat outside in public even if it's not remotely looking like rain! Melai takes great delight in telling me that she is going to be strict regarding my bondage "discipline"... I have a feeling that I'm bound for some interesting times indeed...

377		<center><h2>31 January 2007 - Sometimes you've gotta be firm & say no to pussy...</h2></center>
378		<p>
379		Nope, it's ain't what you think! I just rescued an Australian budgerigar from certain death a few minutes ago from one of the neighbour's cats while I was out walking Gizmo. I actually saw the attack take place on the opposite side of the road and that's when I realised what it'd caught. Budgies are not native around Melbourne so it was probably someone's pet that somehow escaped (I had this happen to me once and again it was another opportunistic cat which pounced before I had a chance to entice it back inside - so turning the tables on puss was particularly sweet!) The cat dashed back across the road before stopping within some shrubbery near their front door. Then it released the bird and that's when I realised it was still alive - so I confiscated it from moggie before taking it home. It's currently sharing a cage with my other budgie who is eyeing it very suspiciously. It's obviously injured - it's bleeding from a nasty puncture wound in the chest - (and in shock) so whether it lasts the night is touch and go. I'll take it to the vet first thing tomorrow morning if it's still alive and see what they say.
380		<p>
381		More good news: Everything is apparently going well (touch wood) with Melai's visa application. Her case officer actually rang Melai last week and she asked her to tell me that they require proof of my single-ness; i.e that I've never married, which I had no problem supplying via fax. They're obviously working on Melly's application and showing an interest in everything. Here's
382		hoping it comes through soon...

437		<center><h2>24 January 2007 - Amazing stories from the sea</h2></center>
438		<p>
439		A couple of great stories from the sea really captured my imagination this week: the first took place in Aussie waters. A Great White tried to eat an abalone diver yesterday morning and in fact it actually swallowed him - headfirst... Should've been end of the story then and there. One doesn't usually survive such close encounters with buzzsaws with fins. Incredibly he had one arm left free and he poked his toothy friend in the eye and it spat him out... how lucky is that?
440		<p>
441		The other nautical tale of derring-do and imaginative opportunism proves what an ass the law can be (except possibly for those intimately involved). Pommy (British) law says: "<i>Under the Merchant Shipping Act, people are legally able to salvage goods washed up on the beach so long as they notify the official Receiver of Wreck, an employee of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency</i>" and this is what happened: A huge container ship (the MSC Napoli) got into difficulties during the recent wild Europe storms and had to be beached off the English coastline - where 200 containers were washed ashore. Incredibly the opportunistic locals were allowed to rummage through everything, with many individuals helping themselves to $30,000 BMW motorbikes among other things - all perfectly legal... Cute huh? and with that we'll continue with more prosaic issues such as bound and gagged cuties....

493		I just realised that Melai's arrival is only three or so months away. Sometimes time's got a nasty habit of creeping up on you - especially when I'm supposed to be losing weight so that she won't be greeted by a most un-manly physique on the great day when we'll see each other again... yes, I'm well overweight - and somewhat unfit!
494		<p>
495		I've stuffed around for too long - admittedly my chicken pox knocked me around a bit last year but that's not really an excuse... so as of this week (last Monday to be precise), I ditched all the Coke, beer & other fatty foods sigh - have you got any idea how hard it is updating TTT without a cold one or two to keep me going? - before returning to the gym... It's already paying off: I've lost almost a kilo since beginning and that really helps with the ol' motivation bit. Apart from the physical and health benefits involved, there's others but we won't go into those here! This is a family site! And with that in mind, I'll post my weight weekly with each update so you can all see how I'm going... how's that for motivation too?

557		<p>
558		Melai (my fiancee) knows how to get up my dander - yesterday she gleefully reported how it's been raining for a week in Mindanao and that she'd worn her plastic raincoat to school... aaargh! We still havn't received any rain since late last year - other parts of Victoria - yes: but not where I live and it's kinda frustrating to say the least. How I long to slip my rainwear on and... The good new is that they are tipping an end to our awful draught (some country towns have received just 1/4 of their normal rainfall last year) in late March - just before her arrival Down Under... that's good news or what? We're really looking forwards to resuming our rainwear - and bondage games together...
559		<p>
560		2007 seems to be a year for milestones - today we post our all-male (rainwear) pictorial spread. For those wondering: why? TTT is all about bondage and rainwear. We believe that being allowed to express yourself sexually is very important and that's why we're more than happy to provide space for guys wishing to send us bondage and/or rainwear images of themseves. Remember that we like being bound and/or raincoated as well!

618		Sorry for our late update - too much ham, turkey, pudding - and beer finally caught up with your friendly webmaster... Anyway, I'd like to wish everybody a very happy New Year and we sincerely hope that 2007 will be a year when your hopes and dreams are fulfilled - along with good health and prosperity for everybody here. We normally steer clear of anything political - there's nothing that divides people more than this vexatious subject - but I will say that if I have one wish, it would be for global peace - along with an associated reduction in military spending and a much greater emphasis on meaningful aid and trade programs which would do more to foster good relations between countries than any amount of guns, tanks or bombs!
619		<p>
620		On happier subjects, 2007 will also be a special year for Melai and myself with her arrival Down Under once she receives her fiancee visa - and our marriage in May (yes, we WILL be posting some of our wedding shots here!). Melai has also earnestly promised me that she will strictly enforce our bondage contract once she's here... - can you feel me shaking in my boots?
621		<p>
622		Today also marks a major milestone for TTT with our first 'amateur' bondage and rainwear pictorial galleries from several of our contributors - and we would like to say thank you very much for sharing your wonderful work with us! It's "real" people, ordinary folks like us, who do so much to illustrate what a loving - and fun - form of sexual expression that bondage and/or rainwear can be.
623		<p>
624		<center><h3>NEW Issues/Question of the Month - <a href="questions/replies.htm">On Top or Bottom?</a></h3></center>
625		<p>
626		Or, let's put it another way, do you like being tied up more than doing the tying? Or vice versa? We want to know...
627		<p>
628		<b>1. whether you prefer being tied up.</b><br>
629		a) Those who want to be tied up ONLY.<br>
630		b) Those who like being tied up more but don't mind doing some tying up (i.e switch).
631		<p>
632		<b>2. or, whether you like to tie others.</b><br>
633		a) Those who like to tie others ONLY.<br>
634		b) Those who like to tie others but don't mind being tied up (i.e switch).
635		<p>
636		There's no right or wrong answer to this question but we would love to hear your responses in order to understand better how we act (and think). As usual, please explain the reason/s behind your choice when you write!

641		It's with great pleasure that we present our first truly "amateur" gallery for publication in Tied and True Tales. O & D are real bondage enthusiasts from Norway, who also share the same passion for rubber, rainwear - and ropes - that we do. Happily married for a couple of years now, it's no coincidence that these are the magic ingredients keeping the passion alive in their marriage! Visit their excellent <b><a href="gallery/norway01.htm">Bondage in Norway</a></b> gallery and please let us know what you think of their work! They have promised to post more images following the completion of house renovations.

644		Straitjackets have a long history, dating well back in time somewhere around the seventeenth or eighteenth century when they were originally used as a method of control and discipline in lunatic asylums - since these dark ages, straitjackets have emerged out of the closet, appearing in many professional magic or escapology shows as well as unofficial busker street performances.
645		Unsurprisingly, straitjackets have also found their way onto the bondage and BDSM scene - they're as popular for their inescapability in addition to serving as a long-term means of restraint and we have no reservations about proving how

652		It's again with great pleasure that we present our first "amateur" rainwear gallery for inclusion in Tied and True Takes. "K" & and his lovely wife, "I" are genuine rainwear enthusiasts from the United States - who also shares the same passion for plastic, vinyl and PVC rainwear that Melai and myself do. In fact, that's partly how we met because "I" is also from the Philippines as well. It's a safe bet to assume that no matter how cold and wet the weather is, it will never quench the fires of their passion..... and you can learn how in their <b><a href="gallery/kei01.htm">Plastic from the Philippines</a></b> gallery! "Salamat" (Thank you) also for contributing and we're looking forwards to seeing more of your work here as well!

656		<p>
657		Of course being Brits, they probably need all that rainwear to keep dry - lucky devils! - while we bake beneath a burning sun Down Under... (see, being a Pom ain't all bad news... - cricket-wise sorry, I just couldn't resist that)

680		<p>
681		That's the kind of Christmas carol I enjoy listening to... (wicked grin) Hopefully it's a sound that we'll be hearing plenty of next Christmas once Melai is here... and it might not necessarily be her producing all those funny noises... We were chatting the other day (using Yahoo IM) and Melai promised me that she intends to enforce the bondage contract that we drew up next year...
682		<p>
683		I reckon that every day's going to be like Christmas next year! Seriously, I would like to wish everybody here a wonderful, safe and very merry Christmas - be of good cheer and - as Melai is forever reminding me - always think positive! There's always <i>next</i> year!! For us, we've got heaps to look forwards to - not least being together again, my cochlear implant, building up my business and so on...
684		<p>
685		The big news this week is that we've just completed overhauling our somewhat dated Story Page which we've re-named the <b><a href="stories.htm">Ligotage Library</a></b> - appropriate, don't you think? - including for the first time, direct link to Brian sand's page, Perilous Designs and a new damsel-in-distress section.

736		<center><h2>11 December 2006 - A kinky Christmas lament...</h2></center>
737		<p>
738		We'll kick off this week's update with a great Christmas joke that I just received from a friend... (thanks, Rohana!) <i>What do you get your favorite bondager for Christmas? Doesn't matter, since all they are interested in is the packaging. Ho ho ho</i>.
739		<p>
740		And it's on just that subject, I couldn't help thinking about the annual frustration that I experience every year when my friends & relatives ask me what I want for Christmas... My sister asked me, "mason, what would you like me to buy you for Christmas?"
741		<p>
742		How I wanted to point her in the direction of Amazon.com and say, "Oh, but I really want this great book all about how to tie up your partner for sex! ... - or a yummy plastic raincoat from PVC-U-Like!" but I can hardly say anything of the sort because my family and relatives are fairly conservative to say the least... Of course I could ask for money but it's so much nicer actually unwrapping something really nice on the big day instead of opening envelopes or boring store vouchers!

812		This special bondage - and rainwear update is about as close as I'm going to get to wearing my raincoat(s) in the foreseeable future - because it just ain't precipitating Down Under - can you just hear my sigh, folks? They're saying that this is the worst draught in well over a century - even the majestic Murray (river) has all but dried up - and that's <i>bad</i>, folks. We've had less than half our usual November rainfall - in fact, it's been stubbornly dry all spring, traditionally our wettest time of year (we recorded our 2nd lowest rainfall in 150 years only last October).
813		<p>
814		Of course I could always wear rainwear around home - which I regularly do - but it's not the same as being protected by shiny, smooth plastic (or heavy-duty PVC) from head to toe whilst enjoying a really wet day...

At this point I'd like to say thank you very much to J.W. for designing the heading on top of "The Rainy Days Gallery" - Please let me know what you think about the changes and if they work for you - particularly ease of viewing and loading on your computers.

824		I can't believe that Christmas is almost here - if only Melai was here... sigh For those of you lucky enough to share Christmas, always treasure the precious time that you've got together - and what better way to tell your special someone how much you love her (remember this is not a gift guide for the in-laws!) than a special gift from the <b><a href="http://www.bdsmtoybox.com/AffiliateWiz/aw.aspx?B=28&A=607&Task=Click" Target="_Blank">BDSM Toybox</a></b>

827		<p>
828		By the way, I loved their leather straitjacket-armbinder combo jacket - I WANT one.... red or black? or blue? Pink for Melai? (her favourite colour) I can't decide... Maybe I'll take three or so.

832		<b><a href="gallery/schoolgirl01.htm">Schoolgirls in detention</a></b> - Visit the exclusive School of Ligotage where students receive thorough instruction which goes way beyond the three 'R's' that we learnt years ago! Here, there's only one punishment for miscreants... but guess what? (you'll never believe this) <i>some students actually misbehave on purpose</i>...
833		<p>
834		<b><a href="gallery/asianpanties2.html">Panties and Crotchropes</a></b> (Asian) - What is it about woman's underwear that makes them such a potent symbol of her essential feminity?

837		<p>
838		It's been a long time between drinks and so it's with great pleasure that we post not one, but four galleries - featuring what else but rainwear... but be warned - You are not allowed to view this gallery until you have put your plastic, PVC or rubber raincoat (or mackintosh) on - and don't forget to tie the hood tight! Now go put your raincoat on, then you can sit down and enjoy this, and other galleries!
839		<p>
840		<b><a href="gallery/hoods01.htm">Raincoats - Hoods</a></b> - There's only one more sexy sight than a pretty girl wearing her raincoat - and that's seeing everything properly done up and the hood (or sou'wester) tightly secured in place so that it will not shift or loosen, regardless how bad the weather is...
841		<p>
842		<b><a href="gallery/heavy-rainwear.htm">HeavyRainwear Goes Green</a></b> - South Africa is not a country that people normally associate with rainwear - but PR and 'HeavyRainwear' (also well known for the sterling work that they put into their Rainwear Forum and Yahoo group) have done a sterling job of dispelling this fallacy with their dedication to demonstrating what a loving - and sexy form of sexual expression that rainwear can be!
843		<p>
844		<b><a href="gallery/australian-rubber-raincoats.htm">Aussie Rubber Raincoats</a></b> - Most people associate classic rubber rainwear with Great Britain, Europe - few are aware that Australia also has a proud tradition of rainwear manufacturing � in the fifties, sixties and early seventies, companies such as <i>Dunlop, Hardie</i> and <i>Bramac</i> � actually manufactured rubber lined and/or rubber reversible raincoats for men, women and children.
845		<p>
846		<b><a href="gallery/vintage-british-rainwear.htm">Vintage British Rainwear</a></b> - a nostalgic look at old photos and avertisements featuring rubber, gaberdine and plastic macs from the fifties and sixties - a golden era when rainwear was an accepted, essential element of everybody's wardrobe.

863		<p>
864		I refer, of course, to Melai - I just hope that this is the first - and <i>last</i> Christmas that we'll spend apart from each other. I won't be visiting her this Christmas because everything's got to go towards funding her visa and travel costs as well as moving expenses next year - a good four-poster bed (perfect for bondage) tops our list of expenses... ;-) seriously, does anybody know where I can find one?
865		<p>
866		<center><h3>big changes are afoot...</h3></center>
867		<p>
868		If you're wondering - why such a small update? - I'm in the process of splitting the bondage and rainwear galleries into two which requires wholescale changes to navigation as well as writing the HTML for each page - but I think you'll like the new format which will be easier to navigate, allow greater scope for posting more galleries as well as updating the tired look of the old page. Please check back every couple of days because I'm not sure how much longer it will take.

896		<p>
897		Let us all be thankful for what we are about to receive - more bondage from Priscilla and The Mase at Tied and True Tales...
898		<p>
899		Sometimes, it's so easy to think negatively (I've been guilty of this sin more than once) but there's nothing like the power of thinking positive - and hope to help you keep going... I've been finding it harder than ever coping without Melai (not least because of my recent hearing problems) - sometimes I also really wonder if the b...d bureaucrats will approve her application to live Down Under... I just <i>hate</i> being so far apart for so long!
900		<p>
901		On the other hand, everybody - even my local MP's office are all saying the same thing; that Melai WILL eventually receive permission to make the big trip Down Under - most likely around March 2007. It won't be forever :-) Although we are apart for now, the biggest thing is that we've got each other, we still love each other as much, if not more than the day we first met - and we'll be married less than one year from now - and that's worth waiting for... So really, I do have a lot to be thankful for (even if our turkeys havn't)

1053		<p>
1054		Hubba, hubba! we <i>finally</i> received some rain last Friday - even if it wasn't much more than relatively light showers. But it was just heavy enough - lasted long enough to make going outside for a rainy day walk worthwhile... (that's the best thing about being self-employed - I can goof off when I feel like it!) You have no idea how much pleasure I received from wearing my shiny yellow raincoat... now if only Melai was here...
1055		<p>
1056		She just completed her visa application interview a couple of hours ago - apparently it went well, but they've hit both of us with more requirements... sigh Melai reckons they are not particularly onerous but it's going to mean a lot more running around so she's <i>not</i> very happy - talk about red tape! We have 49 days to comply - or else...

1101		<center><h2>16 October 2006 - The draught continues...</h2></center>
1102		<p>
1103		<b>In this update: Part Three of Mummification gallery and more stories</b>
1104		<p>
1105		Australia is in the iron grip of the worst draught for many, many years; we've hardly had any rain for a month (I can't remember the last time I wore my rainwear! - other than indoors), and our dams are plumbing record low levels across Victoria - between enduring record temperatures for October and dealing with hundreds of bushfires - none major, so far... They're saying it could be the worst fire season since Ash Wednesday 1983 - all in all, not great news if you're a rainwear freak like yours truly - I can hear my raincoats rusting away silently in my wardrobe...
1106		<p>
1107		Otherwise, it's all good news - I've actually (more or less) managed to stick it out at the gym and I've lost 1 kilo since this time last week and it really helps with the old motivation... once you've made these gains, it's much easier to keep going. I'm still way overweight (I hardly fit into my latex rubber suit now, can you imagine that?) I've (mostly) managed to stay off the junk food although I do reward myself with a trip to my fave Vietnamese eatery every Friday... - I'm addicted to their excellent spring rolls and chilli beef... who says I need to live like a monk?
1108		<p>
1109		Melai's visa application is progressing smoothly so far (touch wood) - she received an e-mail form letter from them today which says she's been assigned a case number and officer plus advice regarding do's and don'ts (such as pestering them for progress reports!) and so on. They also said that "the average processing time for a prospective marriage visa is currently between 4-6 months from date of lodgement of the application..." - we're suddenly very hopeful that she MIGHT be here in time for Christmas!
1110		<p>
1111		- and we'll wind up the news with this fascinating <a href="http://strawberry.gallery.sytes.org/">strawberry gallery</a> link (don't look if you're on a diet) - it reminded me of the heavenly days that Melai and I used to spend picking strawberries at the Sunny Ridge Strawberry farm - before munching our way through everything topped off with gallons of icecream... I'd better get slim before her return, right?

1114		<center><h3>Our Christmas shopping list</h3></center>
1115		<p>
1116		Here's hoping that they allow Melai to return Down-Under in time for Christmas... because I've got some very <i>special</i> gifts picked out for her from the <a href="http://www.bdsmtoybox.com/AffiliateWiz/aw.aspx?B=28&A=607&Task=Click" Target="_Blank">BDSM Toybox</a> already... and I ain't talking about socks, gourmet jams or candles! Melly picked this rubber bra and gloves out herself - I just can't wait to see her wearing this.... (she also liked the soft, stuffed rubber ball gag as well) Autumn says she'll keep it until we're ready to order... By the way, you might just want to check out the <a href="http://www.bdsmtoybox.com/AffiliateWiz/aw.aspx?B=28&A=607&Task=Click" Target="_Blank">BDSM Toybox's</a> <b>fantastic new look and layout</b> - it really is quite stunning. it's also much more user-friendly and easy to use.

1155		<center><h2>09 October 2006 - Melai's visa application lodged at last</h2></center>
1156		<p>
1157		<b>In this update: Part Two of Mummification gallery and more stories</b>
1158		<p>
1159		I'm still finding life difficult to deal with - hence my lack of updates lately, and for that I do apologise. My sudden hearing loss (after contracting labyrinthitis) has really affected my interest, motivation � and confidence in myself. It's why I've hardly spent any time on TTT or my small wall map/travel accessories business lately. I've managed to make small gains such as returning to the gym last week and I'm also eating considerably less junk food (I'm still having trouble battling my addiction to Coke though) but sometimes everything simply seems like an up-hill battle. I have to wait until December before I can even be assessed for my cochlear implant. I've been writing about everything in my <a href="http://bound-and-gagged.blogspot.com/">Bound Blogger</a> blog, which really helps - sometimes it can be so good just setting down how I really feel on paper.
1160		<p>
1161		However, it's not all bad news: We've finally lodged Melai's fiancee visa application with the Australian Embassy in Manila - at long last... The word is that processing everything should require approximately six months which means that we can (hopefully) expect to see each other again early next year. She's also travelling to Manila in two weeks time for an interview with the powers-that-be - so we're keeping our fingers crossed that it goes well. So far though, everything is on track and that's something I'm really thankful for.

	94		<b><u>10 JULY 2007</u>:</b> - Aplogies for my recent absence: It's been a busy couple of weeks what with work and Melai's 22nd birthday last Saturday! I'm happy to say though that her birthday was one to remember with dinner at one of our fave Vietnamese nosheries before retiring to a friend's house for an evening of singing (karaoke) and dancing... We'll resume normal service soon - promise! It's also been particularly cold and wet lately (it's winter Down-Under): anybody got a couple of around-the-world air tickets we could use? Don't laugh! I'm serious! g ;-) Tahiti or Hawaii appeals... (or the Philippines... Melai has been kinda homesick lately - can't say I blame her considering the weatheer that we've had...)

	100		<b><u>02 JULY 2007</u>:</b> - Melai's birthday is only five days away now: we're going out for dinner this Saturday at one of our favourite Vietnamese restaurants, so it's going to be a busy week - but don't worry, I'm never too busy to update TTT, unless I'm otherwise tied up... Melai has this special glint in her eye which tells me that mischief is on the way!

	108		<b><u>01 JULY 2007</u>:</b> - Apologies for my absence: I've been tied up in more ways than one lately... g In between, we've just added a couple of goldfish to our family - which we've christened "Jaws" and "Wiggles" - can you guess who named each? I found a (small) glass tank in a Salvo's store for next to nothing - but if I'd known how much the fish and essential acessories (filters, fake weed, rocks, food, water purifying tablets etc) were going to cost me, I probably might have thought twice before going ahead... But the look on Melai's face when she walked inside and discovering our piscatorial companions made the expense worth it! I'm however, not allowed to clean or prepare any fish on the kitchen bench (facing the living room) anymore out of deference to their sensibilities... Anyway, here's a few links to kick off July.

	118		<b><u>25 JUNE 2007</u>:</b> - Melai managed to extract retribution last night. I spent a very long hour and a half in a rather tight - and quite inescapable - hogtie. I definitely wasn't going anywhere after being tied up! I did enjoy a relaxing evening though while she watched Filipino movies on Youtube before deciding to call it a night. That's when my situation became decidedly dicey. Melai said that I had to stay bound until tomorrow morning but I protested so loudly that she eventually gave up and untied me... phew I don't know if Melai was serious or teasing me, but I have a sneaking feeling that one day she might actually carry out her threat! Anyway, here's a couple more nice limericks from Rhymer for you to enjoy.

	126		<b><u>24 JUNE 2007</u>:</b> - Melai got careless last night and I escaped - easily (albeit from a fairly simple bondage; just hands and feet only) much to her frustration and annoyance (and mine too). Perhaps lying in wait for her behind the door, grunting through my gag to lure her inside, then grabbing her from behind didn't help. However, she's promised to rectify the situation tonight - with interest. I'm going to be tied up straight after dinner; it will be tight (hogtied and ball-gagged) and I can also forget about release until bedtime. I've never escaped from one of her hogties, so it could be a long evening.

	150		<b>18 JUNE 2007:</b> - There's nothing worse than reality striking fantasy head-on as I discovered last weekend. I bought a great pair of PVC-lined nylon coated chest waders complete with attached rubber boots from the Salvos but they were really a little too small for me. How small, I would find out in a fairly embarrassing manner: I had to really push my feet inside each boot: but what goes inside doesn't always come out... It took Melai something like 10-15 minutes of concerted effort, a lot of huffing & puffing, and more than a few curses before she finally managed to help pry them off my feet. I've been banned from trying them on ever again...

	183		<p>
	184		At long last I'm - we're - back... Please accept my apologies for my long absence - In response to everybody who wrote asking where I've gone: yes, I�m still very much alive and kicking although it�s been an extraordinarily difficult couple of months since Melai�s arrival Down-Under. I never expected it to be easy but everything�s been much harder for us than I thought it would be. She has been extremely lonely & isolated � it hasn�t been easy for her being separated from her family, relatives & friends) as well as coping with boredom, cultural issues, different food, our much colder climate as well as trying to find some kind of job.
	185		<p>
	186		We live in an exceptionally quiet neighbourhood (lots of old people around us) and we hardly know anyone which doesn�t help. It�s a community in name only. In the Philippines, everybody but everybody knows each other and are always popping around to say hello! There�s no such thing as privacy but you�re never lonely either� And that�s the rub.
	187		<p>
	188		The good news is that she�s feeling much happier now since we�ve finally decided on a plan of action regarding her job-seeking: because she has no qualifications (and she�s having heaps of trouble getting her nursing college to release her results to date because she hasn�t completed the course!! That�s Philippine bureaucracy for you!, finding anything worthwhile was turning out to be really hard and it was quite upsetting for her. Melai really wants to work and get out of the house at the same time. Anyway (to cut a long story short) she�s decided to study for her �Certificate in Aged Care�, which will qualify her to work in a nursing home and she began 2 weeks ago now. Melly is really much more optimistic & happy about everything at the moment now that we�re finally getting somewhere, she�s got a positive plan of action as well as having something to do and meeting new people, so I�m hopeful that we�ve turned the corner emotionally and relationship wise.

	190		I was also forced to buy a new computer because my old one basically slowed down to the point of a crawl so I�m still adjusting to everything and that�s another reason I have not updated TTT for ages sigh Unsurprisingly, everything cost much more than I expected - Melai's visa expenses, moving costs and our new computer equipment so we're deeply in hock to the bank at the moment... we would really appreciate your help in helping defray our expenses as well as keep TTT going!

	194		Anyway now that I�m back, I will continue updating TTT � but on a daily basis so that you�ll always see something new here whether it�s stories, articles, humour, pictures (well, of COURSE) and much more� I will try to post all contributions as quickly as possible; just send them to my e-mail address above. This will be the last update in this format - I will still announce new update and the relevant links here but the "new" look update page will save me heaps of time.
	195		<p>
	196		Just a small update for today but stay tuned because I'll attempt to add new content on a daily basis starting today. Picture galleries will
	197		usually be posted every Wednesday (starting next week), because I'm usually tied up over the weekend... hahahah!! (Melai wants to bind me overnight next weekend: I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow)

	243		Less than one month to go now before Melai arrives Down-Under. She's already booked her plane tickets and we'll be together again just before Easter or "Holy week" as it's known in the Philippines. It's been too long - we will have been 1 year apart next Monday - and our relationship has been suffering for it. There's nothing like being together to cure most ills though...
	244		<p>
	245		Melai has also assured me that she is going to be much stricter regarding my bondage (and rainwear) 'discipline' than last time. Last year was a learning experience for her, she says. Now that she understands the visceral attaction of bondage (she loves being bound and gagged too), she's looking forward to drawing on her newfound experience... Melai says that once she's finished tying me up, I will stay bound until such a time she decides to release me. She will also bind me when and wherever she feels like it, she says.
	246		<p>
	247		Melly also reckons that if I like wearing plastic raincoats so much, she's going to oblige me - by requiring that I wear my raincoat every time we go out unless its obviously hot and/or sunny... Do you reckon that I can't wait or what?

	317		At the moment we're both experiencing mixed emotions about Melai's move here - excitement certainly, mingled with more than a little nervousness because it's such a big step for both of us. It's not going to be like last time when we basically swanned around Victoria and NSW. We'll be living together - and more importantly we'll be working as well (that's not to say we won't play just as hard either...). In short, welcome to real life.

	320		We've also decided to postpone marrying until late September in order to allow Melai more time to settle down and adjust to life Down-Under before making that big commitment. I'm already busy preparing for her arrival, including shopping for our new home - and one of my major purchases is a good bed - specifically a timber bed (see left). There's no prizes for guessing why I wanted this particular design.... /\_/\ <p>
	321		I have yet to buy a mattress for our new bed - a bondage freak I may be, masochist not :-) But considering the alarming prices that they charge for good quality mattresses though, the slats are becoming an increasingly attractive option.

	384		<center><h2>21 February 2007 - It's all good news...</h2></center>
	385		<p>
	386		Regular readers will remember how I lost up to half of my hearing in less than three weeks last year (May 2006) after contracting labyrinthitis - a particularly nasty inner ear disease - along with losing my ability to discriminate between sounds (causing "thickness" and distortion). It really knocked me around - not so much physically as mentally because I was terribly, terribly depressed for months afterwards.
	387		<p>
	388		Finally though there is light in sight near the end of a very long, dark tunnel; the Cochlear Implant Clinic has approved my application for a cochlear implant (CI) and I am now officially on the waiting list! The doctors are unanimous about my prognosis for a successful outcome: they think that there is an excellent chance of my hearing being restored to the same - if not even better - levels that I enjoyed before my illness. I'll have to wait anywhere from six months to a year but I can live with that (it is free, after all)
	389		<p>
	390		To say that I'm happy about this news doesn't describe the depth of my feelings: if this works out, it will change my life in ways I'd never dared imagine. It will not restore my hearing levels to those that "hearing" people enjoy but it will be a vast improvement on what I'm enduring now.
	391		<p>
	392		Melai and I have also been busy planning and organising everything for her return and we've settled on a date: 5 April 2007, just before Easter! We really can't wait... As I said above, it's all good news!

	445		<p>
	446		Yes, Melai finally received her visa!
	447		<p>
	448		I cannot say enough how happy - and relieved - I feel for this. It's been a horrible and deeply stressful few months, wondering, always wondering if Melly would receive her visa. The Embassy hasn't got a great track record of delivering happy outcomes - but they actually said yes after waiting only 4 1/2 months (including the Christmas holiday break) - unbelievable! I was actually fearing the worst when Melai told me that her sister just texted her to say that a Fedexed letter had arrived in Kibungsod (her home town) last Saturday night after which I had to endure a fairly nerve-wracking two hour wait while she caught the bus home before reading everything... and of course the answer was yes! :-)
	449		<p>
	450		At long last the nightmare is over & we can really look forwards to seeing each other again & the future! The other good thing about all this is that we no longer have to endure the uncertainty - that's been one of the worst aspects of being apart for so long but now we can begin planning and organising everything for her return Down Under :-) Oh, and I also just can't wait for that time Melai decides it's necessary to tie and gag me (any time she feels like it, she says) or make me wear my plastic raincoat outside in public even if it's not remotely looking like rain! Melai takes great delight in telling me that she is going to be strict regarding my bondage "discipline"... I have a feeling that I'm bound for some interesting times indeed...

	488		<center><h2>31 January 2007 - Sometimes you've gotta be firm & say no to pussy...</h2></center>
	489		<p>
	490		Nope, it's ain't what you think! I just rescued an Australian budgerigar from certain death a few minutes ago from one of the neighbour's cats while I was out walking Gizmo. I actually saw the attack take place on the opposite side of the road and that's when I realised what it'd caught. Budgies are not native around Melbourne so it was probably someone's pet that somehow escaped (I had this happen to me once and again it was another opportunistic cat which pounced before I had a chance to entice it back inside - so turning the tables on puss was particularly sweet!) The cat dashed back across the road before stopping within some shrubbery near their front door. Then it released the bird and that's when I realised it was still alive - so I confiscated it from moggie before taking it home. It's currently sharing a cage with my other budgie who is eyeing it very suspiciously. It's obviously injured - it's bleeding from a nasty puncture wound in the chest - (and in shock) so whether it lasts the night is touch and go. I'll take it to the vet first thing tomorrow morning if it's still alive and see what they say.
	491		<p>
	492		More good news: Everything is apparently going well (touch wood) with Melai's visa application. Her case officer actually rang Melai last week and she asked her to tell me that they require proof of my single-ness; i.e that I've never married, which I had no problem supplying via fax. They're obviously working on Melly's application and showing an interest in everything. Here's

	548		<center><h2>24 January 2007 - Amazing stories from the sea</h2></center>
	549		<p>
	550		A couple of great stories from the sea really captured my imagination this week: the first took place in Aussie waters. A Great White tried to eat an abalone diver yesterday morning and in fact it actually swallowed him - headfirst... Should've been end of the story then and there. One doesn't usually survive such close encounters with buzzsaws with fins. Incredibly he had one arm left free and he poked his toothy friend in the eye and it spat him out... how lucky is that?
	551		<p>
	552		The other nautical tale of derring-do and imaginative opportunism proves what an ass the law can be (except possibly for those intimately involved). Pommy (British) law says: "<i>Under the Merchant Shipping Act, people are legally able to salvage goods washed up on the beach so long as they notify the official Receiver of Wreck, an employee of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency</i>" and this is what happened: A huge container ship (the MSC Napoli) got into difficulties during the recent wild Europe storms and had to be beached off the English coastline - where 200 containers were washed ashore. Incredibly the opportunistic locals were allowed to rummage through everything, with many individuals helping themselves to $30,000 BMW motorbikes among other things - all perfectly legal... Cute huh? and with that we'll continue with more prosaic issues such as bound and gagged cuties....

	606		I've stuffed around for too long - admittedly my chicken pox knocked me around a bit last year but that's not really an excuse... so as of this week (last Monday to be precise), I ditched all the Coke, beer & other fatty foods sigh - have you got any idea how hard it is updating TTT without a cold one or two to keep me going? - before returning to the gym... It's already paying off: I've lost almost a kilo since beginning and that really helps with the ol' motivation bit. Apart from the physical and health benefits involved, there's others but we won't go into those here! This is a family site! And with that in mind, I'll post my weight weekly with each update so you can all see how I'm going... how's that for motivation too?

	629		It's with great pleasure that we present our latest pictorial bondage gallery <b><a href="gallery/pole-tied01.htm">Pole Position - pole tied!</a></b> gallery... The pole-tie is probably one of the most popular bondage positions (exceeded only by hogties and chairs) that many bondage aficionados enjoy. It looks great, it's easy to tie - and perhaps most importantly of all, once bound, she's going... nowhere.
	630		<p>
	631		Did you know that this humble tie actually offers an amazing variety of tying possibilities to virtually any suitable object in almost every position you can think of? It also creates any number of role-playing possibilities ranging from traditional DID, Cowboys and Indians to super-spy about to be shot at the stake... Therefore we decided to present some of the more imaginative ideas that I've seen here...

	668		<p>
	669		Melai (my fiancee) knows how to get up my dander - yesterday she gleefully reported how it's been raining for a week in Mindanao and that she'd worn her plastic raincoat to school... aaargh! We still havn't received any rain since late last year - other parts of Victoria - yes: but not where I live and it's kinda frustrating to say the least. How I long to slip my rainwear on and... The good new is that they are tipping an end to our awful draught (some country towns have received just 1/4 of their normal rainfall last year) in late March - just before her arrival Down Under... that's good news or what? We're really looking forwards to resuming our rainwear - and bondage games together...
	670		<p>
	671		2007 seems to be a year for milestones - today we post our all-male (rainwear) pictorial spread. For those wondering: why? TTT is all about bondage and rainwear. We believe that being allowed to express yourself sexually is very important and that's why we're more than happy to provide space for guys wishing to send us bondage and/or rainwear images of themseves. Remember that we like being bound and/or raincoated as well!

	728		<p>
	729		Sorry for our late update - too much ham, turkey, pudding - and beer finally caught up with your friendly webmaster... Anyway, I'd like to wish everybody a very happy New Year and we sincerely hope that 2007 will be a year when your hopes and dreams are fulfilled - along with good health and prosperity for everybody here. We normally steer clear of anything political - there's nothing that divides people more than this vexatious subject - but I will say that if I have one wish, it would be for global peace - along with an associated reduction in military spending and a much greater emphasis on meaningful aid and trade programs which would do more to foster good relations between countries than any amount of guns, tanks or bombs!
	730		<p>
	731		On happier subjects, 2007 will also be a special year for Melai and myself with her arrival Down Under once she receives her fiancee visa - and our marriage in May (yes, we WILL be posting some of our wedding shots here!). Melai has also earnestly promised me that she will strictly enforce our bondage contract once she's here... - can you feel me shaking in my boots?
	732		<p>
	733		Today also marks a major milestone for TTT with our first 'amateur' bondage and rainwear pictorial galleries from several of our contributors - and we would like to say thank you very much for sharing your wonderful work with us! It's "real" people, ordinary folks like us, who do so much to illustrate what a loving - and fun - form of sexual expression that bondage and/or rainwear can be.

	755		Straitjackets have a long history, dating well back in time somewhere around the seventeenth or eighteenth century when they were originally used as a method of control and discipline in lunatic asylums - since these dark ages, straitjackets have emerged out of the closet, appearing in many professional magic or escapology shows as well as unofficial busker street performances.
	756		Unsurprisingly, straitjackets have also found their way onto the bondage and BDSM scene - they're as popular for their inescapability in addition to serving as a long-term means of restraint and we have no reservations about proving how
