Premium 1BR family friendly condo with full balcony views in BGC

For many years, I worked as a busy Corporate Executive in one of the top multi-national companies. Work took me to many places. But, one fine day while living abroad on an expatriation assignment, I realized how time can be so fleeting that in my busy life, I completely missed spring time & just about everything else more essential in life. There must be a better way to live.

I shuttle to Los Angeles to visit our family almost every year. Had an amazing Sisters trip to New York recently. Been in & out in Seoul working for almost 10 years (almost half Korean by heart but still learning the language). Had a blast working in Bangkok for 2 years. Worked also took me to Egypt, China, Indonesia, Malaysia & Singapore. Traveled with girlfriends to Taiwan (Turkey, Vietnam is next on the list). Enjoyed visiting my brother who lives in London, while taking a side trip to Scotland. Explored & had adventures in Paris, Poland, Australia & Mongolia with my husband.

Traveling opened my mind and inspired my heart. As a traveler, it brought me joy to discover culture and the everyday life of people— not just the touristy part. More importantly, it made me learn how to be present in the moment and learned more ways how to live a life well lived.

It is with this thought that I lovingly curated my home so that I may share what I learned to visitors coming to the Philippines.

In traveling or vacationing, time is super important and traffic in Manila can be a challenge. 



The condo apartment is conveniently located in between International / Domestic airports and the Philippine’s premier entertainment & financial districts > BGC (Bonifacio Global City) and Makati. Everything is just close by. 



The apartment is also located in Venice Luxury Residences. It is one of the premier residences in the Philippines. It is a modern apartment complex that gives you great amenities (Pool, Spa, Gym, Tennis Court, Basket ball court). Its great to walk or jog around the complex. Its tranquil, you almost forget you are in a busy metropolis. 



The Venice Grand Mall is also just a walk around the corner. It offers amazing dining, shopping & entertainment experiences. 



You’ll also find nearby convenience stores, pharmacy, water station, laundrymat, money exchange to suite your needs. 



Grab is our UBER in Manila. But you’ll have the Circuit Bus station nearby too that takes you around key locations in Manila.

I welcome you to MADE2LIVE— the provincial. While in the Philippines, I want you to be able to go home to a place that allows you to enjoy, recharge and wake up to a great start at a slower pace. Our home depicts the quiet & healing provincial life where time also stands still. At the same time, learn our Filipino culture during your stay.

Like any Filipino provincial home, you are welcomed by a Carabao & Rooster. You’ll find these art works in the hall. The Carabao is designed representing the different Filipino fabrics. The Rooster - Do you know what is funny ? It has 3 legs! Filipinos no matter the situation finds humor in everything that we do. It also represents my 3 kids whom I lovingly dedicate our homes to.

The living room is modern & provincial at the same time. Our home is also sustainably made. The Topacio Broas Sofa - was inspired from Filipino Lady Fingers called Broas, composed of hardwood frame & insulated with high density foam upholstered in man-made leather. Check what’s underneath our Matikas ottoman, made in Guagua Pampanga with recycled materials such as a PET coke bottle & wood shavings.



Your place is also great for movie nights over a 70” inch smart TV.

The dining table is a modern quintessential take on a Pinoy dining table. At the same time, you’ll find frames of Larry Alcala’s (Philippine National Artist for Visual Arts) famous caricatures depicting everyday Filipino culture. 



Enter your bedroom designed for great sleep. The lights are intentionally designed to mirror the quiet restful solitude of a provincial life. The bed is custom built for your comfort. I also know you need your phones close by so charging ports are made available.



The Kitchen & bathroom is made efficient with amenities you’ll need during your stay

The apartment is family friendly. Baby amenities are also available (crib, chair, bath, linens)



Lastly, our home is a corner unit with a wrap around balcony. Enjoy a sunset view over McKinley Hill!
