20/20, satc, puppies, and trying to get myself back
20/20. 6/6. perfect vision. that's what the optometrist and my eye surgeon told me. i just had lasik last friday, missing friday afternoon hospice thingies. i felt a bit bad about it though. i scheduled the procedure that day since the residents said we'd have that afternoon off. but no, suddenly, they scheduled our reporting for friday afternoon. booooo. e wala, sabi na lang sakin na written report na lang ang gawin ko. so there. hehe!
it was funny. i picked dr. alnette tan to do my eyes since she was the surgeon of some of my favorite people (you know who you are! haha!). that and because she was really nice when she gave us our ophtha review lecture. astig talaga nung nakilala niya ko when i entered the OR for my procedure. wala lang. hehe!
the lasik itself was scary and painful. after rotating in ophtha, of course i had an idea of how it would go in the OR. that made it more scary. and in spite of the anesthesia in the eyes, ramdam mo pa rin yung operation. kaya favorite ko ang GA e- tulog ka. dra tan kept telling me to relax, but i couldn't. natakot talaga ako, especially sa part when i couldn't see anything. sinabi naman nila pag mawawalan na ko ng makikita, pero scary pa rin yun. that and the thingy they put in my eye wasn't comfortable. *shudder*
but no, i really recommend lasik for people who are tired of their glasses/contacts. happy happy! i love waking up in the morning and seeing the world as God intended. :D
last night, i was out with two of my favorite friends from high school. we haven't been out together in YEARS. it was so much fun! kulang kami, so it was a *bit* sad, pero okey pa rin. we were three girls having drinks, when there were supposed to be four of us. booooooo. but that's okay- we'll just get together another time na kumpleto kami. we caught up with all the news, reminisced about things that have gone before, and promptly moved into the future, where we wanted engagements to happen. haha! i'm SO HAPPY my new year's resolution is working out, bit by bit. :D
misha (our cutie white poodle) just had puppies last november. one white, and one black (their dad is a black poodle). they're both girls, and they grow SO FAST! think they've more than doubled their size. their eyes are open, and they've started walking around in their box, trying to find ways to escape. they're still exclusively breastfed though. haha! their tails and ears have also been docked, and their dewclaws have been removed. i consider that doggie tuli. haha! i love them to bits- that is, until papa told us what he named them: ISA and TRINA. leche. iniisip ko na lang na miss na miss na kami ni papa. pero leche pa rin. hmp. buti cute sila. hmp.
i think the change i mentioned in earlier blog entries isn't much of a change. it's more of a returning to the way i was before. feeling ko talaga nagdegenerate ako in the past year. i have much less energy, less drive, and a distinct feeling of dissatisfaction and fear. i honestly don't know what to do, since inertia gets in the way. it's easier to leave things the way they are, but i know that i'm not happy with it. i don't know how to start, honestly. hmmmmm.
i think i should stop discouraging myself, and remember that i've already begun to do small self-improvements. it's been said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. a single step- not a giant leap, or even a sprint. i should do this one step at a time, one day at a time. remembering all the while that really great changes don't come overnight. ;)
