I finally found the condominium with a perfect location. It’s in posh area of McKinley Hill in The Fort Global City. It’s very accessible from all vital roads in Metropolis. It’s direct access to the Makati business district through McKinley road by passing through Forbes Park. Direct access to Ortigas and Airport through C5 road and Edsa.
When people think of buying pamper gifts for themselves, they usually go to the mall to check out cellphones, clothes, iPods or Make-ups. But not me, I went out and bought myself a condo unit. Not bad for 24 years old lass. It’s just that I view home ownership as a part of being a responsible adulthood.
Although, I still have my 2 existing bedrooms in my mom’s 2 houses in QC and Jero’s parents had given us a penthouse unit in Sole Mare (besides Mall of Asia.) I still want to pursue my dream of owning one. “iba kasi yung sense of fulfillment pag naisip kong sakin yun or pundar ko talaga yun” and I want to start buying home stuff in different countries then I’ll put it there.
I’m planning to stay at my condo whenever I feel like having my “Me Moments/ independence” or Every time may tantrums ako and I just want to be alone! Hehehe! Kidding aside, I just couldn’t resist the thought of wanting it, because it offers location of advantage, ease and convenience. The unit that I purchased is in front of Venetian Mall with Gondola ride in the impressive man-made Grand Canal. Parking will not be a problem.
It’s supposed to be zero down payment but I preferred to pay P500,000 downpayment to make the monthly mortgage low and the turnover lump sum on June 2012 will be less. I was about to get the unit on the 6th floor but then I’ve realized there isn’t much view on 6th floor so I chose 15th floor. The price of floor difference between 6th -15th floor is 175,000 pesos!
After 9 hours flight, when we reached our hotel yesterday (June 18′ 2009) where Qatar Airways crew stays. I began to write the details in my personal checks, but because I’m tired and sleepy. Some of the checks are just wasted because of date/year mistakes or my signature becomes Estretita instead of Estrellita! Hehe!

Very nice Star! You know how to take good care of your hard earned money by investing in a condo unit. I will also buy one for me when time comes.

Hi Star! I learned a lot from your post and I do realize that too…I’ve been splurging a lot with so many unecessary things and if I had been as practical as you I would have bought my own condo. Great post dear, you inspired me and I’m pretty sure continue to inspire other people as well. Great investment

McKinley Hill is a nice place. Quiet, peaceful … great for “serenity now” moments.
I like passing through that area when coming from C5 going to the Villamor area or airport. I used to take C5 til the end, then the service road…. then I transferred my route to The Fort (Market Market exit) then going through the base leading out to Villamor. Now, my scenic and favorite lovely route is via McKinley Hill exit from C5 leading to the base and out to Villamor.
Plus I’m excited to visit the Venetian mall when it opens.
You’re with Qatar Airways ? May be you know my cousin Bob (Darren) who is a pilot on that same route and airline.

It’s great that you’ve invested in a condo unit. It can give you passive income in the years to come. For those who are interested in owning a condo at pre-selling prices, just visit the La Verti Residences website. You can own a condo for as low as P350 a day!

You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with
your blog.
