Mom has eye problems.
I went out earlier with my mom to visit one of the eye wear and glasses shop in Lipa. Lately she has been experiencing difficulties in seeing and she has also been experiencing uncomfortable situations whenever her eyes get cross-eyed.
She has been suffering blurry vision and dizziness for the past few days so we thought maybe she needs to get her eyes checked again since the last time she had her glasses made, her left eye had astigmatism. After having her eye checked, the doctor said both her eyes now have astigmatism that is why she needs to get her eye glasses replaced. Since it will take a few weeks for the glasses to be made she won’t be wearing any glasses for a week or two.
While searching for astigmatism in the internet I found out that in the United States people who have nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism have laser eye surgery as one of their options instead of using contact lenses or eyeglasses. It is said that it is a treatment which reshapes the cornea in order to produce clear vision. After a successful operation, the patient may experience improved vision immediately but it can also take around six months before their vision stabilizes. After that they can enjoy freedom from corrective eye wear such as eyeglasses and contact lens enabling them to do more things than when they had to wear glasses and contact lenses.
One of the good resources I found for it aside from the FDA site was DocShop.com. While reading about it on their site I found that the treatment is fairly painless since only a small amount of tissue is actually affected during the surgery. If its becomes uncomfortable for the patient medications can be applied to help them ease their discomfort. I was particularly interested on how much these treatments usually cost since I’m thinking of suggesting that to Dad so he can read up on it and think it over for Mom.
I saw that on average the prices for the surgery cost around $499 up to $2500 per eye. It is quite expensive for us but I figured we can get it with some help from our relatives there in the U.S. especially since I found out from the site that they had eye care specialists located both in Juneau and Anchorage. 
My aunt who visited last month lives in Juneau so in case Mom decides to try getting a laser treatment for her eye, it would be easier because we have relatives nearby.

Say Cheese!
So last March 15, we had this post-birthday celebration for Mina. That’s Au and me on the first row. Then Dennis, Andrew, Mina and Von on the second. Vicky wasn’t there so she isn’t in the picture. Haha. By the way, Albert (Au’s boyfriend) isn’t in the pic since he was the one who took it.
P.S. I did forget to get pictures of KC. He fell asleep when I carried him so I couldn’t take pictures while he was in my arms eh?

Finding the right help matters.
Many individuals experience addiction to alcohol or drug substances in their life especially if they are going through a very stressful ordeal. When the situation gets out of their hand they tend to increase their consumption of these addicting substances because it helps numb their pain for a while. When they are at their lowest point in life, they feel depressed that sometimes they crave for the temporary feelings of happiness and ecstasy that substances can provide.
There are cases when these individuals break out from their reveries and they see how much their loved ones suffer when they see what has been happening to them. Some feel embarrassed of their actions and they tend to not accept help offered by their family and friends with fears of letting them down once again. In this cases these individuals are interested in getting private treatment from Drug Rehab, Drug Rehabs to get their life back. These treatment centers ensures their privacy and they help break these people out of their addictions not only by providing physical treatment but also emotional and mental treatments.
The location of the treatment centers like Malibu California also help in the process of healing. Being able to sit and breathe the peace brought by the calm waves of water while watching the sunset help fill these individuals with serenity that have eluded them.

Is that me?
I was looking at my folders and I saw this bunch:
Hehehe. I did those a couple of months ago when I was trying which hairstyles I could actually wear. I didn’t try them for real though since I got scared of losing my long hair so I only did get a haircut after the first EB with Ate Kengkay.
Eeek. Come to think of it, I can look like different people with just a few adjustments on my hair.

Eeeek, were missing silverwares!
Recently we’ve been doing some major house cleaning and we noticed that some of our silver plated flatware are missing. They weren’t that many before so when we saw them it was really noticeable that they were incomplete. We used this for dinners with my parent’s friends and its not often that we use them so they are kept in the drawers. We only found out about the missing ones last night. Since people have been in and out of the house its hard to know who might have snipped it.
Good thing we didn’t have any of lola’s gold banded dinnerware here or else our head would’ve been bitten off. They used to stack those before not only because they were fancy and wonderful to look at when the table is set, its also very durable and they really last for a long time. So now we have to do a bit of silverware hunting to replace the ones that got lost since we have some lunches and dinners scheduled this week and the coming weeks.
I have to take note that we have to get one of those sterling silver frames to place in the living room. The one containing lola’s family picture got nipped at the corner so its not that good to look at right now.
