Wearing Prescription Glasses for the First Time | Owndays Philippines
Hey everyone, today I’m going to share my experience getting prescription glasses for the first time. I thought it might be helpful to those who are curious, so here we are. I’ve heard so many good things about optical shops in Quiapo that offer quality eyewear at lower prices. But since it’s far from where I live, I decided to look somewhere close (to save time and money). I had a few options: Sarabia, Vision Express, OWNDAYS, and Executive Optical (EO).

I Love These | Otoki's JIN Ramen & Stir-Fry Cheesy Ramen
Christmas came early! I received a PR package from Otoki PH last month, and I was so happy about it because I actually like one of their products- JIN Ramen (mild flavor). It’s one of my go-to instant ramen packs when I crave something soupy or want to enjoy a quick midnight snack. For this gift, I got four items- one JIN Ramen Spicy, one JIN Ramen Mild, one Stir Fry Cheesy Ramen in Cheddar & Mascarpone, and one Stir Fry Cheesy Ramen in Spic flavor. A Delicious Holiday Treat
