Sweaters & Staying in: Your Ultimate Condo Dweller’s Guide to the Rainy Season
Summer days are over. You know what this means: It’s the season where you’re curled up in bed or cozied up in your blanket while sipping your coffee or hot chocolate, staying in your favorite sweater as you hear the splatters of raindrops falling from the windows of your unit. With the pandemic and rainy days combined, this would mean more canceled getaway trips and catch-up dates. But don’t fret! While this season calls for extra time to take care of yourself, why not take the time for some home care, too? We’ve listed down some things you can do to stay warm, dry, and happy in your little bubble this rainy season:
1. Do an indoor storm-proof check
Take a quick scan of your unit and check for any possible leakage through your ceilings or windows. Or better yet, consult the pros. MidPark Towers has a dedicated team of property managers that keeps all units in tip-top shape, saving tenants the time and worry over their safety and security during calamities and other unexpected repairs and maintenance to get you all prepped for the monsoon season.
2. Give your unit a makeover.
If you’re part of the #HomeBuddies, then you’ll know there are plenty of ways to accessorize your home with aesthetic decor. First things first, decide on a theme for your unit. You can find inspiration on different online sites like Pinterest but choose one that speaks your personality and invest in ornaments you want to stay on your unit for a long time.
If you’re working from home, give your home office space a transformation to amp your style. MidPark Towers has taken a modernized, classic design approach to their units and though these are dapper and sleek on their own, your home can be your canvas. Unleash the inner artist in you and get creative in styling your unit!
3. Stock up and Organize
It’s time to put your shopping game to good use, stock up on groceries and essentials! This may also be a good time to classify your fridge items, as it’s therapeutic for some good reason. You can purchase mason jars, dividers, and label markers so that you can categorize items and properly store them on your cupboards and drawers. Ordering online is always an option during this season but MidPark Towers actually offers convenient and hassle-free grocery shopping because it’s located right across Ayala Malls Manila Bay and the biggest retail spine and open space in Aseana City, Parqal. And when you’re done stocking on goods, you can take a quick bite at your favorite resto, get your caffeine fix, or simply bask in the lush greens of this beautiful landscape before heading back to your unit for some serious organizing.
4. Catch up on some reading or binge-worthy shows
We know the weather can be tempting to doze off for days. While that’s definitely a go-to, take the time to catch up on reading your favorite book while sipping your warm milk or perhaps do a marathon of your favorite series on Netflix while you munch on your favorite snacks. It’s the perfect time to just relax and snuggle in a warm blanket, enjoying quality time at home.
5. Discover a hobby or a skill
This could also be a good way to pursue a new hobby or skill waiting to be discovered. It could be playing the instruments, writing a book, singing, dancing, or taking on online courses to upskill and explore your interests. You’ll be surprised to find out more about yourself and your capabilities. Really, there are perks to staying home and self-discovery is one of them.
6. Prep hearty meals
Staying home means less ordering out, more cooking and prepping meals. Set a weekly meal plan so you can take note of items on your grocery list and prepare them ahead. You can cook meals that you can easily reheat, and are perfect for the cold weather. Nothing beats sipping a hot soup of Sinigang or Bulalo on a rainy afternoon. This might also be a time for you to try new recipes you can check online or on cooking shows; Chef Ramsay would be proud.
7. Take advantage of our hotel-like amenities
You don’t have to lock up on your unit the whole time. You can also take advantage of the features and amenities of your condo building, with adherence to safety protocols, of course. MidPark Towers offers the best amenities and features that will help keep you entertained such as:
- The library lounge- if you want a different environment to catch up on your reading or a different workplace environment;
