went well we haven't really been focused on the vlog that much today up to this point because we've kind of been using all brain capacity to um read contracts and do a lot of signing last night actually george and i went um for a little meeting but with each other and we went to the cedar rooftop bar and we just sat for like four hours and we were discussing all these ideas for things that's really helpful george while i'm trying to vlog we were discussing all these ideas of things and something that came up in this discussion this idea we've had recently we also discussed with cyril just now as well and she's on board so that's what i'm saying for now but it's something exciting coming soon but we're going to flip back to the apartment now and we're going to talk with you guys a little bit more about costs and all that fun adulting stuff we're trying we're trying to answer the questions that we didn't answer in those original videos yeah because we realized we realized that we actually had comments that said i can see your excitement in your eyes and your faces we were just fully excited to um get on board with the condo that we didn't actually speak much about anything anything at all to do any details and we definitely we want to firstly answer your guys questions but secondly document this process and for ourselves to look back on in years to come like buying our first condo in the philippines big moment so we want to we want to remember the square meters we want to remember how much it costs we want to remember how we did it how all these things so we will try our best to answer all your questions okay we've just got back and we're going to sit down in a second and show you guys um some of the price layouts and some more details on this condo but before we do and the guys from busy bee cleaners have actually just arrived and they're already doing an amazing job we'll show you the after of the condo after they leave i mean we've been busy recently so this is very much needed and we're quite clean and we're quite um particular about tidying away but it definitely needs a clean doesn't it so we're very grateful for them coming today they do such a great job they do all the disinfecting uh with a disinfectant spray which is cool and out of all the sort of different cleaning companies that we've used here in manila we'd say that they do the best job they're the most efficient they're in full ppu as you can see behind me and they do such a great job so we'll show you the after in a second but we're super grateful for them being here today they've made this bed so much nicer than we ever possibly make it i don't want to sit on it right now i'm going to get out of the way for them to finish the lounge if you guys want to book them if you're in the area for your condos or houses whatever contact them on instagram and here we are apartment is looking beautiful so clean they literally pulled out the sofa they had this all out everything out from under there um pulled out they always pull out everything they they had the fridge pulled out and they were doing behind the fridge i've never seen anyone do that before which is really good such a good job highly recommend it saved us so much time today that was like a two or three hour clean yeah two or three hour clean and that would have taken me on my own way longer firstly because i'm not a professional cleaner secondly because there's only one of me they have all the gear and stuff all the equipment that you need to make it look amazing in here it just it just really helps us out having this every like few weeks because it's been such a busy day for us today and i wouldn't have had time to do any cleaning today so it's amazing highly highly recommend bdb cleaning company if you have any need for a cleaner in metro manila and i believe they also now have like a cebu team as well so if you're in cebu contact them there as well but we're now going to sit down and tell you guys a little bit more on this condo so we wanted to go into more details about pricing and i'm actually going to put the air con on for a second because it's very warm in here so sorry if the noise is a bit funny but it's hot today it's very warm i've changed my top because i was so warm it's like that it my app my phone said it feels like 36 and i feel like it hasn't been a half ages but i do think also it's going to be stormy later because it's so hot anyway weather update finished and we wanted to give a little bit more details on um the actual unit we've bought so it's 39.3 square meters yeah just nearly 40. just under 40 square meters we've got it's a studio unit in some marks in mckinley hill and in that you um building i think there's studios one beds and two beds there must be a plant house but i don't know how much it is we basically um the the one beds you can get for around 18 million the studios are around 10 i don't know 11 million yeah i've got a list of the available units actually here so ours is a studio and those are around 11 million pesos we actually managed to get a good discount on this one we got around one million off um as part of this special promo which is really really good okay so looking up to the more expensive ones you get three bedrooms oh there's three bedrooms yeah you get three bedrooms up to around 33 million i didn't know there was three so i'd love to see one expensive but it would be cool to see yeah absolutely two-bedroom 28 million oh so it's not the difference between two and three yeah so ours is like the cheapest of the units but it's a higher floor um which is obviously more desirable with the view and everything and it's got a balcony which is great um and obviously all the facilities and stuff are included for anyone who has a unit there so it's really cool and if anyone is actually interested in any of these properties with mega world we wanted to just put the email address of cyril below because she's been so helpful so good um just mention us if you do they might be able to sort out some sort of special discount for you guys yeah so far we've had a really good experience and sorrow is genuinely very very helpful yeah so if you do contact her about a unit please do mention us because then she might be able to also sort you out with a discount or something like that um depending what's available at the time but do mention us if you get in contact with cyril and we know that obviously you can get um cheaper like you can get probably houses for that much money in some areas and bigger condos um but for us it's for us location is a huge thing and we've got a video coming out tomorrow night for you guys which is actually delving into the reason why we chose venice mall and like the full explanation as to why we are buying a place in mckinley hill we've kind of gone through it we actually filmed that today at the mall um so you can have that to watch tomorrow and we hope
