bye bye eyeglasses!

yesterday I entered a new chapter in my life.

I finally decided to... use contact lens :> haha! (big deal!)

It's so funny that it took me 30 minutes, IN THE OPTICAL SHOP OKAY, to learn how to put it on and the worst part of all, how to remove it. it's my first time okay, and I am a squeamish when it comes to eyeballs!

yes I am, and I think years ago I said I'd probably wear glasses for the rest of my life. but ironically I decided to shift, for the simple/superficial reason that I no longer want to remove my eyeglasses each time I face a camera.

plus, I'm a bit OC when it comes to eyeshadows. I love eyeshadows! wearing eyeglasses with it just don't seem right (for me at least. hehe)

enough of kaartehan.

anyway, I'm glad I had my eyes checked again (everytime I visit the optical shop, I have my eyes checked na rin). If I hadn't I wouldn't know that my right eye's vision increased to 150 and the left one to 100. This makes the contact lens more complicated, coz from now on, strictly, right is to right and left is to left. haha!

After the girl in the shop PATIENTLY taught me to wear it, we went the grocery to buy some stuff. I was so giddy coz the grocery section labels from afar are now clearer than I could remember.

See, you won’t realize you have vision probs unless you have your eyes checked. so visit your ophthalmologist once a year! (or is it optometrist? basta yun. hehe)
