i feel like i've been drugged. or maybe it's just because i'm really tired. went around st. luke's the whole day because i met up with my mother and sister after class. i hate going to the hospital because there are too many procedures to follow. anyway, my mother got her eyes lasered (for glucoma, one of the many complications of her diabetes) and she's going to undergo an operation for her uterus because there's a polyp. or something like that. i'm not really good with medical terms. one thing's for sure, she's going to be fine. the polyp should be removed for safety precautions. funny how she reacted earlier after getting the result of her ultrasound. she got really worried because she thought she had cancer. but that wasn't funny at all. it was more than scary.

i was supposed to get my eyes checked but when we got to the doctor's clinic, he was on his way to the operating room. tough luck. i thought i'd get my eyes checked because they hurt and i get dizzy all the time. my eyes get blurry too. sometimes i can only see what's near me. i am nearsighted and i've been wearing glasses since i was 10. only, i'm too hard-headed to wear them ALL THE TIME which is why the glasses for correction have now become permanent because i've shifted from astigmatism to nearsighted. or is it both? from what i know, astigmatism stays forever. i refuse to wear contacts. knowing how responsible i am, i'd probably fall asleep with the contacts on.

i saw my three second cousins. they used to be my neighbors until they moved to canada and my family moved out of the country too. now that they're back, they look so different! maybe because we've all grown up. i look like a midget beside them now. they're so tall! little Tim used to be the baby my sister and i used to play with after school. now he's a talkative eight year old who wants to a cellphone from my mother. cute kid!

dropped by the bookstore too to buy some supplies for school. i saw a cute guy at the cashier. saw him three more times after the bookstore. scary. haha :P

there's this cool shop at the mall called "Simple Things" where they sell Do-It-Yourself stuff like materials for scrapbooks. i know where i can buy supplies for the SOCSCI120 compilation now. whopee.

now i'm dizzy. the dvds of The Phantom of the Opera and Finding Neverland are waiting for me. the books The Bell Jar and Five People You Meet in Heaven too but i think i'll refuse to abuse my eyesight for now. maybe i should go on to bed.

another sunset photo because i can't get enough of the sunset.
