i need new glasses. i think tumaas yung grado ng right eye ko. i couldn't see what i'm typing if i close my left eye. i actually have to squint to see properly. on the other hand, i think my eyes are just tired. it's late already and i've been doing a lot since this morning. so there.

i remember what mj, my high school classmate, said. according to her, a perfect being as far as health is concerned, is rare. almost always, a person has at least one problem. take me, for example. i don't have asthma or any allergies. my ancestral line is almost perfectly healthy, except for one little thing. my mother's side of the family has eye problems. my grandmother was gradually blinded by cataracts and my mother has glasses as thick as the bottom of a drinking glass. ok, it's an exaggeration, but her glasses are quite thick. the only hope for her eyes, she says, is laser treatment, which of course we cannot afford. she could possibly have one ten years from now, and that's an optimistic estimate. and by that time, the treatment would ptobably be useless for her. i mean, we could use that money to buy a car or computer. basta something that could benefit more poeple, not just her. also, by that time, she would be resigned to her fate: to wear glasses for the rest of her life.

and that brings me back to my earlier topic: myself. oh, and my health. i am almost completely healthy for someone who behaves like a sloth. my only problem is, yes, you guessed it right, my eyes. i'm actually scared that i have to wear glasses for the rest of my life like my mother. silly me for ruining my eyes when i was younger. back then,. having glasses was a cool thing. nerdy but cool. now i realized that having glasses is a pain in the neck, not to mention minus points for my image. hehehe.
