Four-eyed me

I was using glasses since I was 9 years old because of astigmatism. The doctor said it could be corrected but I refuse to wear the glasses I had then regularly because it made me look old. Now, I'm suffering for my stubbornness then. My vision was never corrected, now I had to suffer wearing glasses or contact lenses. Aside from maintenance because I had to go to the eye doctor every year to check if my glasses need adjustments, I had to buy disposable contact lenses every month.

My last pair (glasses) was bought at Quaipo where they sell cheap frames, I bought mine for just 1300 pesos and this came with multi-coated lenses. Unfortunately, it was broken about a year ago and since then I never had the time to go back to replace it. I had to use my old nerdy glasses with a lower lens grade.

Last week, there was an announcement at the office that there will be a free eye check-up and the glasses can be paid on 4 installments. After the check-up (my grade went from 125 to 150) :( I chose my glasses. It was so hard to pick as I was looking for nerdy glasses but something smaller than my previous one. Then I found this cute purple glasses that is perfect for me. It is much costly than what you could buy at Quiapo but this was on my convenience because I really don't have any time to go there.

I just received my glasses today and boy I was happy! I just hope it's durable and would last longer than my previous glasses... :)

MOJO kicks in

It's been a while since I made my last digital scrapbook. Our computer at home crashed and since my brother always uses his laptop I had no means of doing any layout, and besides I wasn't feeling like making any.

This week was a surprise, MOJO is lurking around. Though I have no means, there always seems to be a way. I did two layouts during office break time this week since my computer has Photoshop installed... :)

Here are two layouts I made... :)

Cruisin' Manila Bay

Do you find it romantic to have a dinner on a yacht or boat while cruisin' the sea? You'll find my answer on the bottom of the post...

2 weeks ago, we were treated by my BF's sister on a dinner cruise using Ensogo's coupon. The yacht/boat was docked at the back of Folk Arts Theatre near Gloria Maris' Restaurant.

It was raining that time and I thought it would spoil everything, good thing it stopped when the boat left the dock. The boat cruised through the Bay to Mall of Asia then to Baywalk. There was party on the boat and the 6 of us felt like party crashers as we were the only ones not invited. They were doing the karaoke and the music was unbearable, too loud for our ears. BF and I went to upper deck to have a better view.

The cold wind gently blowing on your face while cruising the bay was a very nice feeling. I enjoyed that date except for the loud music on the karaoke and the awful buffet....

My answer: Dinner on a cruise is definitely romantic as long as there's no party on board and you get to choose your food.. :)
