The human body doesn’t need much to survive. As long as you eat regularly, breathe fresh air, and sleep enough, you will be able to function. The human psyche however, is a tad bit more complicated.
It is perfectly natural to desire the finer things in life. It might be something universal like a steady job and a comfortable marriage or it might be more specific like a luxury car or a pool at the highest level of your condominium. The last is a perfectly understandable desire. Just think about it: a rooftop pool right in your condo that has a remarkable view of the entire city you can dive in anytime. What an absolute score! Here are some of the best condominiums in Metro Manila with rooftop pools for you to consider.
