LIVING THE MAKATI DREAMS ( I AM A WORKING GIRL)

Living the Makati City is everyone's dream! The Financial Business Center of the Philippines ata ito! If Mayor Binay says; Makati City, Mahalin Natin, Atin Ito
I say; Makati City,  "Land of all rich people!"
Ikaw ng taga squatter area ng nakaaircon! san kapa???.....


This is also the destination of every fresh graduates from different Universities...
at kahit humahataw ang Ortigas Center at Global City still Makati City remains....

Being a working mom for 2 kiddos is not easy... 6:00am wake up preparing all things as a mother job description then 15mins walking to your office dahil sympre walang puv na pumapasok dito galing sa aming bahay... buti nalang malapit lang kami...

4yrs working from our old cypress condo building



then transferred to rufino pacific tower renting at the 30th floor. Our first month here is really breathless while viewing and fascinating the rest of other high rised building...






pero minsan kung gusto mong magmuni-muni pwede dito....

hindi sympre nakaligtas ang bawat angulo ng building.....
kapag high rised building talaga asahan mo mainipin ka sa elevator...
(no escape at the elevator! picture again!)


at pagdating sa groundfloor, pag first timer sa mataas na building eh sympre masukasuka ka sa hilo.... kaya smile ka agad pagdating sa groundfloor....
(another shot at the ground floor)


this tower is the first skycraper in late 90's in the history of the Philippines... not only that its location is very remarkable for it is infront of the fomous
Ayala Avenue (the heart of makati city)....

funny thing we love here while we're on break, we just stay at the ground and use those grills feeling like on your on home terrace facing all those high speed vehicles waiting them to come....
 (ang feeling namin pag lunch time sabay tambay lang dito sa baba habang dinudungaw ang mga rumaragasang mga sasakyan....kasabay ng yosi at lahat ng usok ay nilalanghap... hahaha....)



for most people, makati city is being hated for those commuters and drivers because of its one way drive from most of its main road..

eto lang ang pinakapanget dito sa amin honestly speaking, puro one way lang ang mga daanan.....





at sympre theres always a right way for loading and unloading...





pero din naman mga subway  or underpass tunnel...



na minsan eh kakainis tawiran dahil minsan sira ang mga escalator...




 masarap magtrabaho dito sa makati kahit puno ng traffic....
