When I bought my eyeglasses a couple years ago, I had to spend a little extra just to buy really…read morenice frames that don't easily break. I could get a bit careless when it comes to my eyewear, and I got super tired of buying new ones every now and then because I would break them by accident. The ones that I have now are virtually indestructible because they are made of really pliant plastic, but sadly, the hardware has given up on me. For some weird reason, the head on one of the screws on the leg of my glasses broke off, and I couldn't tighten it anymore. My glasses are just loosely flapping around and it would get annoying because I would have to readjust so often. I took it to the shops around Paterno Street, which is a haven for optical supplies, but nobody wanted to touch it because they said that the screw was already rusted in its groove. They gave me all sorts of negative opinions, like, they are afraid they might break the frames if they coax the screw out. Kuya Orlan, however, took one look and said, "Magagawan ng paraan yan" and proceeded to drill a hole on my eyeglass frames so that he could take the stuck screw out. He managed to ease it out, and he then fitted my eyeglasses with spanking new screws so that I could tighten them at whim. My frames were good as new! I was so happy that I didn't have to buy new frames. Thanks to Kuya Orlan and his can-do attitude, I saved a lot on my prescription eyeglasses as I was sure I was gonna have to buy a new pair.

Dropped by the Sarabia Optical branch in Greenbelt last week because my old glasses were finally…read moregiving up on me, and wow, what a smooth experience. The staff greeted me right away, no waiting around like some places. They took their time with the eye exam--super thorough, explained my slight astigmatism shift without making me feel dumb, and then helped me browse without any hard sell. Ended up picking a sleek pair from one of the newer designer lines that looked way better on me than I expected, and with their promo, the whole thing (frames + progressive lenses) came out to way less than I'd pay back home. They even threw in a free lens cleaner kit and adjusted them perfectly on the spot. Felt taken care of, not just sold to. Service was genuinely warm and professional--zero pressure, all help. Already telling friends to go here. Easily 5 stars for me.

Even if I can buy 10 water bottles from this shop, it will always boil down to the principle that the style I asked must be done and heard and not dismissed. It must be the same as what they show on their wall display with what they sell should be of the same quality they offer to their customers. I could've given 4 stars but I didn't appreciate how the manager gives explanations (I dont need to get manipulated) she must know that customer is always right as a manager. I was given a new bottle and I got asked if I wanted for it to be engraved and I said no thank you. I don't want to go thru such dissatisfaction again.

As I have mentioned in my previous reviews, I could get pretty rough when handling my eyeglasses that's why they have suffered quite a lot of abuse throughout the years. Good thing I got really good frames that don't break easily. However, the screws rust and the lenses themselves could get scratched and badly smudged through time. I was getting headaches from always seeing these scratches on my lenses, and I knew I had to get new ones before my finals came up as I was expecting to get a lot of reading and studying done. Amit at RSA Optical Supply helped me get new lenses fitted. I bought my glasses from Amit about two years ago, and he still remembers me. He is always so nice and accommodating, and he gives the best deals to his clients. He took me to his clinic a few streets away, and had someone do a computerized eye refraction on me just to make sure that he was giving me the right prescription lenses. I found out after the exam that my eyesight improved because of my correction lenses, and it was time for me to get new, lower grade lenses. I paid P300 for my new regular, uncoated lenses (the Transition, non-fogging, multi-coated, scratch-proof lenses were tempting, but I just didn't want to shell out even more money) and I walked out of Amit's store with the impression that everything was in HD. Thanks for giving me my sight back, RSA Optical Supply!

Street Market in Manila Philippines…read more This is the largest street market in Manila. When i hear people say "mura" (cheap) I immediately think of Divisoria where you can haggle for the final price. The place is dirty and crowded and hot but it was fun seeing the many vendors and browsing through the many merchandise. We had our cousin come with us and she was the one who haggled for us LoL! I actually found some cool items here including clothing, and knock off "authentic replica" stuff. LoL! We also found a classic mahjong set for mom and a nice embroidered "barong Tagalog" (a traditional Filipino attire) for my brother-in-law for P450 which equals to $8. Oh man, we tried some street food too like corn on the cob, melon juice and Calamansi juice. I could shop and eat here all day. The place is huge. There are banks accessible around if we wanted to exchange currency. All cash here so bring enough. I guarantee you will not leave here empty handed. Review #3289

There are arcades, boba spots, cafes, archery, bakery class, digital art museum, nail salon, hair salon etc and even a sports arena that holds concerts too. We came across a couple of artists promoting music and there was a stage and sound set-up in one of the big spaces. I got to say though, the most recent time I came here I was very grossed out by the strong smell of the ice skating rink!!! It feels as if there isn't enough cleaning done on those ice skate rentals and it totally put off me and the rest of our group from entering in to see the prices. I don't remember the spot stinking so much pre-COVID so that's very unfortunate. It's across from one of the food courts in the mall too. You can eat food of various types!!! Food court options or literal restaurants. I definitely think coming here for two days is best but you can still explore a majority of the mall in one day. I like the security for checking bags upon entry when going into the different buildings. Expect a ton of banks, restaurants and stores. A BIG PLUS. If you are struggling to find a store, ask one of the security personnel inside. They immediately know the directions on where to go and were super impressive in their knowledge!!! The staff here in the Philippines are very courteous and professional. Always a good visit to come here especially to enjoy the AC also.
