Right after my vacation last December in Manila I have decided to move out of my brothers apartment. I now share an apartment with some friends. I didn't really have to do this right away but I'm very glad I did.
We found a very nice place that is only 15 minutes away from where I work. Its got 3 bedrooms, a huge living room and a big balcony. The apartment is located at Homebush Bay which is very near the Olympic Park. Perfect because I love sports and now I can do everything in one area.
They also have Bars and Restaurants around the area where I can just hangout when Im not doing anything. And best of all, the place has a Bay Walk and a Park were I can go jogging, biking, play soccer or volleyball and also invite people to have drinks and bbq's.
Since we moved, my flat mates and I have agreed on a system which i think is perfectly working. Everyone's got his own role that he likes doing so nobody complains.Miguel, the youngest among the three of us, is a crucial part of the system. His job is to cook our food. He is very passionate about his cooking and is very meticulous with ingredients he use. He also enjoys all the compliments he gets from us after eating his delicious dishes. Miguel loves being the chef of the house so i think he is fit for this role.
Carlo, the most organized person in the apartment, is tasked to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen after we have all eaten. He is the only person who likes to do this job, just give him a pair of gloves and he's all set. Without Carlo our kitchen wouldn't be entirely spotless.
With this setup sharing an apartment isn't such a hassle. We all have equal roles and we get to keep our apartment always nice and clean.

The compound has all the amenities like tennis courts (which is literally across our doorsteps), an indoor swimming pool (I don't really like swimming, but my niece Tati does), Gym and Spa (I haven't used them but maybe I should soon).

Our Kitchen, this is where the cooking and the washing of dishes happens
Me, the all around guy, is responsible for all the handyman stuff. Whenever we have new appliances I'd be the one assembling it. I also fix anything thats broken, from internet connections, networks, electrical devices and more. I don't mind doing this because i enjoy being the handyman.
