Eyeglasses In Quiapo: Cheap and Designer Eyeglasses Frames

My last post about Quiapo was more than a year ago na pala.. of course, balik at babalik kame doon specially for cheap eyeglasses in Quiapo.

Quiapo eyeglasses are really cheap. You can find designer eyeglasses in Quiapo at an affordable price. There are many optical shops along Paterno Street but my suki is located at the end of that street, corner Estero Cegado St.

UPDATED PRICES OF Eyeglasses In Quiapo VLOG 2019

If you’re travelling by car, easiest and most convenient is to park along Quezon Blvd. You can park on that side of Quezon Blvd (the side na kahanay ng simbahan ha). TIP: after coming from the tunnel, igilid nyo na sasakyan nyo and use the hazard light to signal the parking boys na naghahanap kayo ng parking. Nearest to Paterno street is the 2nd Choking from the tunnel.. so mas maganda doon kayo mag park. In between the 2 Chowkings are Raon and Mamon Luk. Chowking 2 is corner Paterno street.. so kung makakapark kayo near that Chowking, just enter that street.. lakad lang kayo hanggang sa makita nyo ang building na ito:

Where to buy Eyeglasses In Quiapo:

If you missed that parking slots along Quiapo church (Mahirap talaga humanap ng parking sa Quiapo!), you can still try the parking lot (legal na parking lot to haha) at the other side of Quezon Blvd. Ikot lang kayo sa dulo before the bridge.. Before the over pass, may makikita kayo na PARKING sign at medyo maliit na iskinita papasok doon sa parking lot. Lakd na lang ng kaunti, tawid sa overpass, lakad pa kaunti sa may Chowking (papunta ng simbahan way ha) then Paterno Street na.

Back to the eyeglasses in Quiapo… when you reach that building, liko kayo sa kaliwa then pasok sa may pinto sa side na iyon. At the right side, you can find this optical shop:

Tanong nyo muna magkano ang lens.. tumawad kayo kung pwede! I can’t remember kung magkano pero if you would ask for a lens, ask for Essilor Crizal Prevencia, bagay sya if mahilig ka mag computer kase may blue light filter na, may UV filter pa.

Pag nagkasundo na kayo sa presyo, they’ll bring you to an optical clinic to get your eye grade (maya bayad yan, 100 Pesos lang naman) better if you already have your grade. Ang ginagawa ko, check up muna sa ophthalmologist then pagawa ng salamin sa Quiapo. It’s just me but I believe mas accurate ang reading ng optha.

Eyeglasses frames for as low as 90 Pesos

After getting your eye grade, ask them where you can buy good quality but cheap frames. They have frames din naman, but better options yung mga tindahan near them. Facing Ariel Optical shop, on your left side,you can find frames for as low as 90 PhP (wholesale price kung 6pcs ang kukunin mo). At the right side of the shop is more updated frame designs:

Designer quality eyeglasses for 500 Pesos

Quality frames for eyeglasses in Quiapo are priced at 500 Pesos and up. Sa sobrang mura, gusto ko kumuha ng 3! Kaso maharlika ang lens ko.. maybe next visit!

Here’s my current eyeglasses from Quiapo:

Aside from buying cheap but quality eyeglasses in Quiapo, here are other things you can do on that side of the Metro:

buy kiddie bike, adult bike, mountain bike, BMX bike and bike accessories
buy Excelente Ham
Check out New Sin Kian Heng for Kitchen Aide Mixer price and other cooking wares
Visit Killion for cooking and baking ingredients
Ride a padyak to eat at Waiying
Walk from Waiying to Ongpin street and buy gold, fruits and cogon grass:

Ang cogon grass ay mabisang gamot sa bato sa kidney. Tried and tested! Uminom ako ng cogon grass tea at lumabas talaga ang bato sa kidney ko.

GrabCar’s #GrabItBeatIt Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign

First Time To Use GrabCar

I always use GrabTaxi when I’m out, sanay na ako sa GrabTaxi eh and so far, wala naman akong nagiging problema. Last Wednesday as I run from meeting to blog events to meeting again, grab taxi’s my partner. Pero noong pauwi na ako, I tried booking grab taxi pero waley… from BGC to Pasig is no joke at quarter to 5 PM. Biglang may “Why don’t you try GrabCar?” or something to that effect.. nabigla ako.. napa yes ako at napabook ng GrabCar. Ayaw ko sana kase feeling ko pang maharlika lang ang GrabCar but I have no choice. Ayaw ko naman i cancel…

soooo how was my first ride?

After a meeting in makati, 2 events and another meeting in bgc.. a very relaxing #grabcar ride courtesy of #Dunlopillo #bolster #mommypehpot #mommyblogger #blogginglife #bloggerextraordinaire

GrabCar’s #GrabItBeatIt Awareness Campaign

Aside from giving us nice rides, GrabCar is doing an exceptional campaign against Breast Cancer. #GrabItBeatIt is GrabCar’s awareness campaign for early breast cancer detection.

In support of the breast cancer awareness month, GrabCar launched the #GrabItBeatIt campaign across Southeast Asia. This campaign encourage women to be aware of early breast cancer detection. It motivates women to conduct self- examination.

Through this campaign, we want to extend the conversation to how women can stay healthy and fit, and encourage Filipino women to self-check before it’s too late,” said GrabCar Head, Natasha Bautista.

Do you know that the Philippines has the second highest incidence of breast cancer in Southeast Asia? That’s accordin to a 2012 study. Department of Health (DOH) recommends women as young as 20 years old to know about their breast and how to examine and conduct a self examination monthly.

Breast Cancer Awareness Kits

To spread awareness about breast cancer, GrabCar is offering a Breast Cancer Awareness kits which includes a statement shirt by Malaysian clothing company Pestle and Mortar, a tote bag and pamphlet on how to conduct self-examination. All proceeds will to ICanServe Foundation.

ICanServe Foundation helps women with breast cancer and they also promote early breast cancer detection through information campaigns and community-based screening programs.

“In our own way, we want to let more people know that early detection of breast cancer saves thousands of lives,” said Natasha Bautista.

NEW Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Line

I am not really into skin care. Sa totoo lang, hindi ako marunong gumamit ng lotion dati. Until Sati was born, I became more conscious about my body, my skin and how I look. There’s someone looking up to me na eh. I started wearing dresses and started taking care of my skin. Another thing, Sati’s legs are really dry, kaya when Physiogel was introduced to us, hoarding talaga! It really is that effective in moisturising the skin. Itataya ko ang blog ko sa Physiogel. Talagang nasubukan ko na ang produktong ito at talaga naman effective. We use the cream and the lotion daily.

Sati really knows her own set of skin care kaya when the Physiogel sent us their new look, nagulat si Sati!

It’s still the same Physiogel babe… with a new look and more committed on enabling women to find the right solutions to free themselves from dry and sensitive skin.
