“Maayos yung condition ng product pagkadeliver, at sa paggamit ko ngayon ay madikit naman yung sticky notes.” - by J***
“I am eager to say that this is probably the best AND cheap sticky note pad that i've found so far. The paper holds out spendidly to my worst (the bad boy) pen, and held up well to my fountain pens and marker. It is very sticky and can be repositioned without losing its stickiness too quickly. There's also no bleedthrough of ink at all! And while there is a decent amount of ghosting at the back, I highly doubt that anyone's going to use the back of a sticky note anyway.” - by Jael J.
