Artbox: Artsy Fartsy Notebooks, Pens, and More

Makati is one of the busiest cities in the country. With the Central Business District in it, people usually associate it with traffic, long hours of work, and even crowdedness. I, myself, had my own share of it two years ago, when I worked as a copywriter for a BPO company along Rufino Avenue. I had to brave the daily traffic, endure long lines at restaurants during lunch breaks, and compete with a thousand other workers for a seat (or even just a space) on a public utility vehicle.

But of course, the city also has its own charm. It may be another concrete jungle for some. Yet, the sight of skyscrapers in it, particularly along Ayala Avenue, never fails to delight me especially at night. I have also fallen in love with several establishments in it. It is full of cozy coffee shops and specialty stores where I can always spend a great time and be myself.

One of these lovely specialty stores is Artbox. Located on the ground floor of Glorietta 4, Artbox is like an oasis in the middle of a desert of financial institutions and offices. Here, you can forget about your demanding boss, annoying colleagues, and deadly deadlines. For a while, it can also make you forget about the long line at the MRT station.

The name of the store probably rings a bell to anyone who has been to South Korea. It’s because this store is actually a franchise of the famous Korean brand. It opened last November 28, 2014.

Indeed, these notebooks are not only for students, but also for professionals who always need a notebook by their sides. Instead of sticking to plain notebooks, why not get a cute one that will always brighten up your day? Also, wouldn’t it be lovely to write down your daily thoughts in a beautiful notebook?
