Exactly a year ago today, I transferred from an apartment to a condominium unit. It is still in Quezon City, but it is closer to my workplace. The move effectively cuts my taxi rides by 95% and my commute time by one hour and 20 minutes. Given the horrible traffic jam (and the increasing heat) in Metro Manila, the latter more than justifies the move. As I celebrate this milestone, let me share some photos of the place:
Two of the doors of the residents’ lounge area lead to the pools outside. There is a 2-foot deep pool for children. With the accelerating heat of summer, this pool is never empty.
Beside the kiddie pool is the five-foot deep pool for adults. It is perfect for relaxing night swims, when no one else uses it.
With this view, waiting for elevators to reach my floor is a little less boring. My unit is just a few meters from here.
It has more sitting areas than the residents’ lounge and has shelves filled with books and empty counters waiting to be filled with drinks.
Here is to day 366 and beyond! 🙂
