Staff was so helpful--showed me exactly which washer to use for my bulky comforters and even helped sort colors without me asking. Clothes came out perfectly clean, smelling fresh, and folded neatly. Super affordable too, especially for the quality. Grabbed a milk tea next door while waiting and chilled with the free Wi-Fi. Definitely coming back every week now. Five stars all the way!

Whenever we need to have our shoes or bags fixed, or have an extra set of keys made, it's nice to…read moreknow that there are small, community-based shops like Mr. Kiwie. We all have our favorite shoes and feel more than a little sad when they break apart. But if that pair can be saved, there is Mr. Kiwie to the rescue. I've had this pair of leather shoes for the longest time, more than 10 years. Some time ago, the sole cracked open, and I was just about ready to throw it away. But I decided to head for Mr. Kiwie to see if it could still be salvaged. Lo and behold, they fixed it good as new. Best of all, when I went to retrieve it, they actually gave it a shine. How's that for a little extra worth noting? I've also had office and house keys made because like everyone, I have a tendency to lose these little buggers. Incidentally, Mr. Kiwie is one of two chains that offer this type of necessary service. Their main competitor can be found in SM Bicutan, and there is a big price discrepancy. I guess the rent at the mall must be way higher than the little shop at Dona Soledad. But I'm sure there's no difference where service is concerned. Fact is, they have exactly the same equipment.

Like everybody, doing the laundry is no fun. In fact, it can be the pits. This is probably one…read morereason why so many laundry shops have sprouted all over the metropolis in the last decade or so. There are several metrowide and nationwide franchises but Suds N' Mud isn't one of them, and I'm glad for this. Right after we moved to where we are staying now, we tried out each of the laundry shops near our place. We all agreed that Suds N' Mud is the best. You can be sure that when you get back your laundry, there will be no funky smells, no leftover starch, and all the dirt and grime will be gone. That the place is popular can be seen by the overflowing stacks of done laundry ready for pick up anytime of the day. They may need to get a bigger place if the number of satisfied customers keeps growing, which is all the time. They will also be honest enough to tell you if they cannot handly your clothes, which was the case when my wife wanted Suds N' Mud to launder a dress she received as a present. The fabric was too sheer and sensitive, they told her. Better to take it to one of the bigger chains which do dry cleaning. One problem I've never had with them is my socks. They always come back in pairs. No losses ever. Just another laundry shop? No, sir. In my book, Suds N' Mud is outstanding.

Netopia is one of the more reliable internet cafes in Metro Manila. This is probably the main…read morereason why they grew so fast and can now be found in most Ayala and SM malls. When I say reliable, of course I am referring to internet speed and connectivity. If you need to do basic internet surfing they are able to connect you to apps and sites like Google for search, Skype for communication and Facebook and Twitter for social media and many more. I often go here for my printing and copy needs. They provide the basic services of black & white and colored printing. They also do photo printing and business card printing (which includes the cutting service already) for a decent price. Of course there are units for gaming as well but I love that most people who come here use the place for their business needs so its pretty quiet most of the time.

A breast pump is a breastfeeding mom's best friend; it enables us to store our precious milk for…read moreour babies, so we can afford a few hours to ourselves. In my case, I pump milk so that I can go to the gym and spend quality time with my husband. I also pump milk so I can get a few hours of sleep at night while hubby stays up to feed the baby. Breast pumps, especially the trusted brands, are quite expensive. They're a worthy investment though, if you want to breastfeed your baby for a long time. So when my trusty Phillips Avent electric pump decides to malfunction, I was in a state of panic. I didn't know where to bring it because we rarely hear people going to repair shops for breast pumps. But it's too pricey and important of a thing to just dump and replace with a new one. So I called the Phillips customer hotline and while they didn't agree to replace my pump with a new one, they referred me to a service center who can do the job. AVS electronics was near my place so I opted to have my electric pump repaired there. The fixing took only two days and I was able to get my pump again. It wasn't good as new, and I can see some residue of glue used to fix my pump, but it's working well so I guess they did a good job. I take extra care of my breast pump now, but at least I already know where to take them if it malfunctions again.

To have the perfect pair of pants, have it tailored to fit you at Fred's Tailoring. He's been an…read moreexperienced tailor for decades and he only specializes in trousers. He saved a lot of my pants, shorts and skirt by fixing the hem, aligning the zipper or even if it's just for a little trim I'd bring it to Fred.He also does terrific custom made slacks as I remember a few months back when I needed to attend a very important event and needed to wear corporate attire, and in this case I wanted to wear pants because I know the venue will be cold and I might be uncomfortable. Sadly, just a few weeks before the big day, I still didn't have an outfit to use and already went to three big malls. Many slacks that I tried always fall short above the ankle or just plain "bitin". You see I'm 5'6 feet tall and not the usual Pinoy height so it's hard for me to buy good pair of pants. Thank God, I consulted Fred and he assured me that he can finish the trousers in 3 days. After 3 days, I picked up the pants and it looked so expensive and well made. It was the right fit, snugs the body, so it shows off my long legs and it's very comfortable. He truly listens to what I wanted and delivered great results at affordable rates.

Back in college, those "Piso Print" photocopying joints really saved my ass from going broke from…read moreall the printing requirements needed, especially for my thesis. I have never owned a printer, so I mostly relied on places like these to have my stuff printed. Fast forward to four years after graduating, I was so HAPPY that here in my village there exists a place that offers piso print services! I do print less things now, but it's good to know that there are more and more places like these that offer cheaper printing costs for people on a budget. Service here isn't topnotch (don't expect a warm smile or a "ma'am") but you get what you pay for. What I like about the people who run this place is that they work really fast. I've never seen anyone staple papers as fast as these guys.

I just want to discuss some of the stuff I noticed a few days earlier…read more 1. The quality of the print was not good. I offered them two pdf files to print, the first one has a messy margin, while the second one has terrible quality, particularly when a certain document has a picture expect it to be pixelated. They do not edit your document as well that is why it is recommended to have it in pdf and their MS office version is 2007 so if you have a word file in a higher version it would mess up your file. 2.If you're in rush, finding a new printing store is highly recommended, as the person I gave my hard drive took some time to see your computer already detecting the hard drive. He almost returned my hard drive saying, "Sir, I don't think that your hard drive works." 3. Again, if in a hurry, try to find another printing shop. I purchased my own papers beforehand since I assumed I'd get 0.75 per page. I separate a number of papers equal to the number of pages I'm printing, but then I think it wasn't a good idea to put it out of the ream because their printer keeps jamming so I gave them the ream itself but it still keeps on having the same problem. So they try it with the other printer, but what I don't like about the service is that the man who assisted me continues to imply that it was my fault since I gave him loose papers (papers out of the ream). 4. Aside from the man being obviously no computer expert, expect some attitude and bring lots of patience. After sorting out the jamming problem, I asked them if I would get 0.75 pesos per page, then the guy refuses it and then says "If you want I'll give back your paper and pay 1.50 per page" (1.50 is the original price btw for A4 size papers). So I ended up paying 1 peso for each page which was ok but then again ATTITUDE. In conclusion, attitude with terrible customer service and horrible printing quality is what you should expect from 888 printing. I'm never going back to this place again. 888 printing "You get what you pay for".
