Office Warehouse is a very useful place and a comparable alternative to National Book Store and…read moreother office supply stores. I became familiar with it as there is a branch in the SM Hypermart that's right by my place. Initially I thought that it wouldn't be useful to me as a student (back then), but after walking through the aisles, I realized that so many of the stuff I needed was right here. Yellow pad, 1/4 pad, 1/2 pad, lengthwise pad, Mead notebooks, Schneider pens, chalk, eraser, greeting cards, and many other essential items for work and play. Once, I even purchased a gift for Kris Kringle here (it was a piggy bank). Two thumbs up!

Office Warehouse sells office and school supplies from the simple pen and paper to printers and…read moredesks. This place is a great option for students to go before school shopping if they don't want the huge crowd and aren't really interested in the design of things. The branches may be limited and this place may not be as famous as the others but it serves its purpose. They have all your basic pad paper sizes, notebooks, pens, pencils, folders, containers for you supplies, the works! Office Warehouse doesn't cater to the biggest crowd but they definitely have the supplies you need just not with as varied a selection. This place is focused solely on supplies unlike more stores that sells books...and supplies to follow. They also have good quality office items like desks and chairs so you can really go in here and purchase everything you need for your office or study area.

YZA Coloured Digital Printing is the go-to place for any of your printing needs. This is one of my…read moresuki stores in the UP Shopping Center for posters and printed ad materials needed for work. I also see other clients here printing menus for restaurants, calling cards, invitation cards, etc. The staff here are also well-trained and very efficient, they can accommodate lots of clients without making them have to wait in line for a long time; they are also capable of editing your digital files in Photoshop if needed. Their machines can print fast with any of your preferred kind of paper--some of the types are glossy and matte finish. They also do free cutting if your material calls for it, it really comes as a big help especially if you're printing out calling cards, flyers or stickers. I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for an inexpensive printing place. YZA will save you from any printing problems (i.e. resolution, measurements, color, etc. ) that you may encounter in not so specialized printing establishments around the corner.

Philippines review #33…read more I'm 7300 miles away from home, in a hotel around the corner and want to wrap a few Christmas gifts. I already have the basic building blocks needed for gift wrapping, but need a few of the little things to bring it all together. Scotch tape, some type of ribbon, scissors, a pen, etc. As I'm walking through the Century City Mall on the 3rd floor, I see this store and decide to go in to check it out. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/office-warehouse-makati-4?select=trHyh_6px_UPckCfddN4fg It's a small store, but boy-o-boy they have a lot if different items stuffed into this small space! You name it, they probably have it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/office-warehouse-makati-4?select=EP9PyNY1WBPDZtGFEzJA2g I look around the entire store (doesn't take long) and am able to find exactly what I need in a matter of minutes. I head to the check out counter and the one employee manning the store. He has a pleasant, friendly demeanor, which always makes for a better retail shopping experience. OVERALL: While I didn't find the type of store I was originally looking for, this office supply did the trick nicely as I found exactly what I needed and at reasonable prices too.

PAWS or Philippine Animal Welfare Society is the biggest, most feared animal-abuser arse-kicker in…read morethe Philippines for the past thirty years. I have high respects for this organization and what they do for our furry friends out in the streets. But that's just the organization. They have their own clinic slash shelter too, and it offers low cost spaying and neutering and consultations. I've only been there one time to kapon two of my cats because let's face it, it's in Narnia (I live in Makati, OK) but it seems like a great place. PAWS' compound is first of all, HUGE. It slopes up a little bit, with nice feels of trees and nature. On my surgery day, I apparently came in too early for the appointment time (nah, I came on time, they just opened late), so I was able to take a look at the babies in the animal shelter. There's an area for adoptable cats (adults), kittens (awwww!), Quarantine (maybe they're new?) and the recovery/sick bay towards the back (poor hunnies!). And then, to the right side of the clinic, there are the dog runs. Going to PAWS is a life-changing experience to me. After that, I actually thought of a rough life plan in having my very own animal shelter one day. But that's besides the point. If you're one of the humans who has the same passion as the organization though, you can call them up and ask how to volunteer in their shelter! Also, a word of advice: When you want to have your pets done, make sure to book ahead. Because they can get rather full!

PAWS is one of the Philippines' most active organisations that fight for animal rights and welfare…read more PARC is their main office, as well as the temporary home of several dogs and cats that were rescued and rehabilitated. Though, they don't just simply take in strays (they are NOT a pound, okay?) and you cannot just call them to take your unwanted pets away. That is not what they do. Their shelters are even at full capacity already, since there are so much irresponsible and abusive people out there who do cruel things to innocent animals. It's really heartbreaking if you hear the stories of some of the animals there. Luckily, these animals got the second chance that they deserve through PAWS' efforts. If you're looking to get a new furry companion, please, PLEASE consider adopting one from organisations such as PAWS. Instead of supporting pet shops who perpetuate the cycle of exploiting animals for profit, and supporting puppy mills and irresponsible breeders, adoption is a MUCH BETTER option. Drop by and interact with the animals, and I guarantee that your heart will be taken by a lot of them. There are so many animals here that are perfectly adoptable and are waiting to be taken in by a loving home. If you love cats, you will LOVE their cattery! It's also a pleasure to meet some of their cats and dogs who roam freely and act as a "welcoming committee" to all the guests of PARC. If you can't adopt, do consider volunteering your free time to a good cause. PAWS accepts volunteers who can help them with their various campaigns, office work, animal care and rehabilitation, and much more. You can also be a foster parent to an animal, too!

Office Warehouse is just what its name implies. They sell all kinds of office supplies and…read moreequipments to cater to your office needs. At first, it seemed weird for me when I entered their premises. I have gotten used to stores that combine bookstores with school and office supplies. I was searching for a newly released novel at that time and I just assumed they have a section for books. Needless to say, I left in disappointment. The second time I went to Office Warehouse, I went there after having checked out several other bookstores/school and office supplies for a binder. To my delight, they have what I was looking for and they have several of them. I ended up getting something that is way better than what I was looking for. They have office equipments and furnitures for sell. Whenever I'm in their store, I oftentimes find myself dreaming and mentally selecting furnitures for my imaginary office. They have desks, office chairs, filing cabinets and other furnishings that are not normally found on others. The term warehouse in theri name is not an overstatement. They really have that large a selection and you certainly won't be disappointed.
