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.

Show of hands; who among you bring your suits or gowns to the dry cleaners after you used it? Who…read moredoes it before using it? My husband prefers getting his suit dry cleaned a few days before he uses it which always leaves me cramming looking for a laundromat that would get the job done on time. One time, hubby wanted to have his brand new suit dry cleaned three days before the event, but our usual dry-cleaners were closed. Thankfully, we saw Panda Cleaners and while they didn't accept it for dry cleaning because of the time constraint, they did a good job with the steam press. I realized I am now a grown woman because I already have a preferred dry cleaning shop. But really, I liked that they were upfront about what they can deliver and what they cannot. When hubby asked them if they can remove the white marks on one of his long-sleeved shirts, they said they won't be able to remove it completely as too much ironing has already wrinkled the fabric, but they can lessen the appearance of the marks. I also admire their guarantee that they don't mix your clothes with other people's clothes when doing the laundry.

I'm a sucker for stationery; notebooks, notepads, gift wrappers, boxes, I love getting them or buying them for no important reason. And Print Cafe sells those pretty things. They also sell gift cards and some Pinterest-inspired wall posters with hipster and motivational quotes. But aside from stationery, they also design and make really nice business cards, invitations (the samples I've seen are really nice!), thank you cards, and hang tags. That's actually how I became their client. We asked them to print calling cards and hang tags for our business. They can design it for you, or you can come up with your own design and give them the file for printing. Personalized items need a minimum order of 100 pieces though.

Watches are my collection. I wear different watches everyday depending on my mood. I treasure each…read moreof my watches and take care of them immensely. But these are still little machines that lose their function over time or get damaged. Even if the straps might be broken, the hands itself are not moving or the battery drained due to long-term use; I just take my watch to M. H. Burton Watch Repair Services and the repairman inspects the watch, test it, tell you what's wrong and gives a turnaround time when to pick up the watch which is usually within an hour to a maximum- based on my experience. Strap replacement, however requires just 5-10 minutes of work. Since M.H. Burton is located inside the mall, it's convenient to shop around and do errands before picking up the watch.What I like about them is they would explain what's wrong, what needs to be done and how much it would cost, so no hidden charges.Besides taking care and fixing my beloved watches, this small stall also do all sorts of key duplications and sell different hooks and keychains too. The prices are fair and I'm always satisfied with their services

RedPrintz:"Thank you for your feedback. However, we beg to differ with your accusations. You stated…read morethat a sample was printed prior to pushing for this sale for your approval. We will not proceed if you did not agree nor approve the sample print out. We make sure that we deliver a service to your satisfaction" -We approved 1 out of 3 samples. There were remaining samples that needs our approval. No, you didn't make sure to deliver to our satisfaction. The scattered dotted blue ink on our paper wasn't satisfying. We can't wait for your machine to be fixed. RedPrintz: "We even suggested that you drop by our store in the afternoon for another sample print of your edited file version to be printed to your liking." -We kept on calling how things are going but you are unresponsive, since there was a problem with 1 page of the sample, we approved it because it turned out nicer than expected. Note that THIS IS THE ONLY SAMPLE WE APPROVED and the remaining must be still sampled and approved by us, but we paid UPFRONT for the service because we trust Redprintz prior to this experience. We left the shop to edit the file they pointed out as a "problem". So we communicated online, sent the revised, and asked for the remaining samples that need ANOTHER APPROVAL from us. Samples were printed in the same discolored output. FIRST IN QUALITY? joke of the year. We can't approve the samples because it contains crucial information. Not only it is discolored it had these blue dotted inks scattered all over the paper, is this our problem? Am I the one who operated the machine? We didn't approve for that scattered blue ink it is clearly a machine error your ERROR. RedPrintz: We were very transparent from the very beginning. And you posted this on our page with Your accusation of "dishonesty"? RedPrintz: Prices are affected by the number of prints we produce the bigger the volume the lower the costs. Since we printed only a few copies prices will be reverted back to retail price. -PRICES WERE NOT DISCLOSED AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE DEAL. You have given us the discounted price without our prior knowledge. Prices weren't clearly posted so how would we know? RedPrintz: By the way, we do not understand why you posted a very condesending review on our page after our verbal and personal settlement of this matter. What is your motive for doing this now? -What we experienced was condescending. RedPrintz kept saying to understand them they put in some effort, yeah we appreciate it but that's how it works when you offer service right? Ironically your tagline says, "FIRST IN QUALITY, FIRST IN SERVICE" yet it seems to both fail. We seek your expertise, and your help because things weren't easy for us, and what we received was utter disappointment. We felt scammed. RedPrintz:"This IS the FRIST time we received and experienced such a review." -This is also the first time we are writing a review like this. This isn't the RedPrintz I knew way back in 2019. the employee was much nicer to us and carried "FIRST IN QUALITY, FIRST IN SERVICE" I hope you reflect on the tagline and re-assess your business's core values. I hope other customers and clients won't experience what we have experienced.

If this is you, read further. If not, making a mistake may be in the cards for you, don't veer away. For anything that has to be repaired, I highly recommend the Hot and Cold Electronic Repair Shop. They've repaired everything I've ever broken from televisions, microwaves, water purifiers to refrigerators. They do the job really fast and they let you know how much the damage would be before they do anything. I've gone there so many times already, sometimes mad or sad, depending on what I'm having repaired and I always leave the place satisfied. It's sort of like an institution in BF and if you're just like me who has lived here all her life, then you've probably been here before.

If they had Dave's Funhouse back then, I would have been a happier kid. This place in SM Southmall…read morewhere parents can leave their kids to play is pretty cool. They have slides and ball pits, and different areas and costumes where children can dress up and play pretend. There's a mini salon, a mini wet market, a fire station and even a small nursery for those who want to pretend as mommies. For the big kids, they have computer and Wii area. For moms worrying about security, Dave's have a strict policy where they scan your fingerprint several times and the kids can only leave the premises when you (or whoever registered and dropped them off) pick them up. My nieces (ages 5 and up) have the best time when we drop them off there. Two hours inside and they still don't want to leave. I believe they allow kids as young as two to play there. I think my little girl is ready for that place, it's me who's not. Maybe I'll bring her one of these days... But I'll go too. I've always wanted to enter their play area anyway.

I understood why, he just doesn't see it the way I do or Filipinos do. The barong is our answer to the coat and tie. Our climate is too hot for the latter that's why we had to make our own version.

So ladies and gentlemen, if you ever consider having a barong made in the future, you should consider Edwin Valerio Tailoring. It's right In BF homes and I know this place because my dad has been coming here since it opened.
