I think I'm permanently bespectacled now...As much as I wanted to avoid it, in the end I just couldn't handle walking around seeing the world unfocused. For the longest time I went around with my vision like that of a digital SLR image where only the subject is focused but then the background and stuff is all blurry, but recently I started noticing that I couldn't even watch TV properly without my glasses on, and whenever I was at a crowded place, like a concert or a packed train station, everything was like a sea of blurriness. I couldn't see people's faces clearly. I could only see enough to navigate my way around. I had glasses only I didn't want to wear them outside of class, because I told myself that my vision would get better with frequent eye exercises.
Only I didn't really bother to dedicate 15 minutes of my time daily to rolling my eyes. Perhaps I should have hired someone really annoying and tell that person to annoy me non-stop for 15 minutes or so, so that I would keep rolling my eyes automatically and it wouldn't seem like I'm doing eye exercises.
Only I didn't do that.
Anyway, this week I decided to opt for a new look and wear glasses all the time. I decided that I couldn't carry on like this, seeing the world unfocused and all, but perhaps one of the biggest indicators was that my glasses didn't hurt my eyes anymore, meaning that I really needed to wear them. After almost a whole week of wearing glasses all the time, even at home, I suppose it's not so bad, although I don't really feel pretty in them, and to me feeling pretty is a really important thing, but oh my gosh my vision!
It just takes a lot of getting used to. I remember a long, long time ago back in school, Angelin used to tell me to never wear glasses because I had such pretty eyes. It made me feel very pretty. Haha.
I therefore would like to apologise to her for not taking proper care of my eyes. I'm sorry!
This is how I look like now. Only not yellow obviously.
This is also me, but I hope I don't usually look this stupid. I was just playing around with a friend's lomo. I didn't think our whole faces would make it into the frame, but they did! I had to wait for the film to get developed to find out. It's like its 1999. Or sometime before digital cameras emerged.
I was surprised on Monday morning by that lomo camera. Hence the startled, deer-caught-in-headlights look in the first picture.
Now I want my own.

Most things look better unfocused.
