Family History

May 24th, 2008 by admin

I have a big problem today. I woke up this morning trying to reach for my contact lens and I was surprised that I did not see it in my desk. I am so worried because I have a poor vision and it is hard for me to work without my contacts on. I called my friend to ask her if she can accompany me to the eye center because I cannot go alone because of the poor vision I have. She said she is free today and she is very much happy to come with me. She knows my eye problem since high school days and she understand why I need to wear my contact lenses everyday I go to school. And now that I am working, I can’t afford to not have one on my eyes because my field of work needs it a lot. I got this poor vision maybe because my family history is such. My dad had to wear eyeglasses since elementary days and so is my mom. Now I am the one experience the hardship of not being given an eye sight of 20/20. It is amazing that my sister who is younger than me have a better vision than we all do in the family and I thank god for that. I always advice her to take good care of her eyes and eat Vitamin A rich food because it will help her attain a good eye sight.

Juicy Conversation

May 24th, 2008 by admin

It has been awhile since I last saw my sister who had her vacation abroad with my other sister and I just missed them so much. I was not able to go with them because of my classes. I just asked them to buy me an eyeglasses made there because I heard they have fashionable one like designer eyeglasses patterned from my prescription eyeglasses from my ophthalmologist. They promised me that they will surely buy that for me because she knows I love it so much. They also know that I have eye problem and I need it very bad.

                I am going to go to the airport to fetch them up even if it is 4 in the morning. I have rented a car anyway so it will not be hard for me to fetch them up. I rented a big one to accommodate their baggage. I am so excited to see them once more and be with them. I promised that next vacation, I will see to it that I can join them so that we will have a fun summer together. I have asked our cook to cook their favorite dishes so that we will have a sumptuous meal together and have some juicy conversation about their trip and their destinations.

Benefits of Contact Lenses over Eyeglasses

May 23rd, 2008 by admin

People who suffer from vision problems understand the frustration of dealing with a pair of eyeglasses. First of all finding a pair of eyeglasses that fits, is your prescription, is comfortable, and looks good on you is a difficult task in itself. Then keeping this one pair of glasses intact and free of scratches and other damage is even more difficult, and nearly impossible if you plan on playing any sports. With all the advancements in technology, contact lenses are growing in popularity as more and more people are switching over to contact lenses to reap the vision benefits.

Some of the major benefits of switching over to pair of contact lenses are:

Wider View- Contact lenses don’t block your peripheral vision like eyeglass frames do.

More Natural & Stable Vision- Contact lenses don’t fog up or need to be wiped down.

More Comfortable- Contact lenses don’t pinch your nose like eyeglasses do.

More Choices of Sunglasses- You can now choose your own sunglasses because they don’t need to be prescription eyeglasses since you will be wearing your contacts!

As you can see there is strong evidence to support that contact lenses are more advantageous for your vision in comparison with eyeglasses. However, contact lenses aren’t the perfect solution for everyone as some people still prefer to wear glasses. It’s really a personal choice but when making it you should really consider all the benefits you gain when switching to a pair of contact lenses.

Locker Exchange

May 17th, 2008 by admin

I went to the gym two days ago to meet a friend. My usual gym day is only once a week and I had it already last Monday. So this is the second time that I am here. I think that I should change my gym schedule because I think that I am not losing the weight that I have to if I only go there for at least once a week. I have lots of things going on that is why so I rarely have time for exercising. Anyways, I went to the Gym Lockers, where I put all my stuff even the not gym stuff because the lockers were so nice and were so strong to look at.

There were service men and they are trying to change the Lockers from Steel Lockers to Metal Lockers. I thought that having the old one was already good and now that they are changing it, I don’t know. The management said that it is the new one and they want to try new and they think that it is stronger than ever. My friend didn’t arrive and have me a text message that he was stuck in a meeting, so I uess I have to go exercising by myself then.

These days, people enjoy different things whenever they are inside or outside of the house. We never get bored at these times because there are ots of things that we can enjoy. Youth, for example enjoy things like singing and listening to music. They love  almost all of the genres of songs that are coming out especially rock music. As we all know, rock music tends to be so loud that sometimes we forget to put on our Hearing Protection to prevent deafness.
