Hanazakari no Kimitachi e...

You might be wondering why I haven't been blogging lately. For one, been busy with work; with the non-deliverables that is. Recently joined one of the demo meetings of Silver and White Toastmaster's Club. I still don't have that much load at work so I decided to join. Maia told me to do things on my own, which meant me being involved with activities without having my close friends tag along. She told me to do things which would eventually let me meet other people outside my circle. And its great, being out of my comfort zone. It was such a wonderful experience for me so I decided to join which meant more meetings...

Secondly, been having some badminton sessions every Tuesdays and Thursdays with my officemates. I'm still a neophyte at the game but at least I get to have a dose of exercise twice a week.

Thirdly, every time I get home I feel so tired and sleepy that I don't want to turn on the computer anymore. I just get to check things at the office but my eyes retire right away as soon as I step out. Been to an eye doctor lately. There's actually a difference between an Ophthalmologist and Optometrists. Ophthalmologists are trained and licensed to perform surgery and prescribe ocular, oral and systemic medicines. While the Optometrists on the other hand are not doctors but only received 4-5 years education on vision science, eye health and optometry-related areas.

Having this unveiling serious issue with my eyes, I decided to visit Dr. Yong Larrazabal's clinic in Cebu Doctor's University Hospital. I even met up with Dr. Yong face to face. He told me my eyes currently have allergies. I think it was because of what happened last Sunday. I was wearing my contact lenses with make-up on. Put on some mascara. And because I kept on laughing with tears in my eyes, some of the mascara dripped towards my eyes. I had to take off my contact lenses because it stung like hell. The optometrist who took preliminary examinations of my eye told me that while working, which entails me facing the computer more than 8 hours a day, its not advisable for me to be wearing my contact lenses since unfortunately I have dry eyes. She advised me to put on some eye drops to relieve the dry eyes. Dr. Yong prescribed me some eye drops and some eye vitamins. I'm off the contact lenses for now and I also had to have the lenses of my glasses changed. It turned out I have 300 myopic 75 astigmatism on my right eye and 300 myopic 25 astigmatism on my left eye. Its kinda alarming that my grade kept on increasing. Dr. Yong also suggested the Lasik surgery but then I still can't afford it for now that would have to be put off till later.

I recently finished the last episode of Hana Kimi Japan. Its a Japanese series which is full of funny scenes and heart-warming conversations. Even if you're not fond of Japanese series, might as well watch this because it has some moving learnings along with its intelligent humor.

I'm looking forward to my French class and my Yoga class...

So, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e. By the time we'll meet again, I'll still be here for you in full bloom! =)
