Top: Old pair

Bottom : New pair

So, I got me a new pair of spectacles! Haha, I love that word...spectacles! The new pair isn't as thick as it looks, it's really thin..and lighter than my old pair too! And the old pair has more rounded corners and they don't bend behind the ears.

When I went to pick up the new pair today, the lady had to keep fixing the ear thingies cuz one side felt tighter than the other and it was awhile before she got it right. All the while, I kept thinking "I'm never getting glasses with the bend ever again, it's too troublesome." But if I'm really gonna keep to that, then I'll be getting my next pair overseas since the options here are way too limited. I was wearing contact lenses when I went to pick it up so I wasn't wearing it for long...but now that I'm home and wearing it, I need to go back and fix the nose pieces. They're too wide apart and the glasses keep annoyingly slipping down my nose a little bit (doesn't go all the way thanks to the hooked ear thingies thankfully lol so they do serve some good purpose every so often.)

Actually, my last pair came from Hong Kong almost 3 years ago. I remember how my old pair used to hurt behind my ears cuz of the pure straightness. Have to get used to a new pair again...Ah yes, good times...

As far as the eye can see

I'm SO loving my new contact lenses. I probably already said that a few days ago but I really do love them. They're so comfortable. Monthly disposable lenses. 

But the whole contact lens business is so expensive! It was BDS $125 per box and each box has 6 lenses. Then my eyes have different prescriptions so I had to get 2 boxes which makes for a 6 month supply at $250. Then, I have to get contact solution which is like $27 for 12 oz. and it lasts for 2-3 months. I'd end up spending so much a year on contact lenses. My mom was telling me that glasses are just so much cheaper since you just buy them spend a few hundred dollars and it lasts for 3 years.

There'll probably be a time when I just stop wearing contacts and keep with the glasses. Not sure. I like it when people think I have good eyesight but we'll see.

Three Kinds of Lies

Random pic: I love this cow =] It's so adorable...and it converts into a pillow! I call her Moo...yea i kno, so creative. I have a friend who's practically in love with her >.>" hahaha

1. lies
2. damned lies
3. statistics

Or so says the Epidemiologist who took it upon herself to lecture us on Research Methods, "Epidemiweeniology" and Prevention (this was in the research methods lecture btw) Woo! We have a silly exam tomorrow morning that's worth a silly 50% of our final grade. Silly, isn't it? *sigh* I should really try to cram down those 9 lectures for 8 a.m.

I've worn my new contact lenses for 2 days now and I love how comfortable they are...I'm gonna give them one more day then email my optometrist to tell him that everything's A-OK =] And then he can gimme my box of prescribed lenses. Acuvue Oasis w/ Hydraclear! Hurray lol I always used to see those ads on TV. I have no clue what my last pair were. The dude I went to sucked. Never going back there again! 

And I've got new frames too. I'll be sure to show them off when I get them. They're nothing special though =]
