Back to 20/20 Eye Vision

Last year, my eye specialist told me that my eyes are starting to deteriorate. Although I didn’t want to believe that, I couldn’t deny the signs. I was starting to miss errors at work and I had to put the book closer to my eyes in order for me to read it clearly. Having a clear eyesight is something very important for me considering the nature of my job. I am a Proofreader/QA and spotting errors in manuscripts is one of my main tasks. I don’t know if this is a miracle ‘cuz I’ve been praying for this, but I underwent an eye refraction last week and the doctor told me I have 20/20 vision. Or is this just a mistake? Could it be? She just asked me to take a peek in an apparatus and she also asked me to read a few lines from a chart and that was it. She then gave me a piece of paper that says I have a perfect 20/20 eye vision. I was on the verge of telling her about last year’s result, it was 20/25, but I got scared that she might confirm my fears that my eyes are really blur and the 20/20 was just a mistake. And so I kept my mouth shut.

Math Lover: Part 2

When I was about to tell my neighbor that I can’t do it because “I’m too busy” with the household chores, I saw the boy smiling shyly to me. I had compassion for him, I’m not sure why. Maybe because I used to smile like that when I feel so small and I’m trying my best to hide it. So, to cut the story short, I tried to help. It’s a good thing the equations were simple, he’s in sixth grade, by the way.

It’s hard to remember what we discussed that afternoon. As I have said, I was never good in math but I really tried my best to share with him my stock knowledge about x and y. Hehe! After we tried to do his homework, I asked my brother to double check our solutions (bro’s fave subject is math) and … surprise! Out of 10 problems we got 7 correct answers! Not bad I’m really glad because I feel like I was able to help in my own little way….

New Manila Street

I’ve really worked hard on this and I’m so proud of my self Hihi! The screenshot below is the new Manila Street. The theme’s name is Urbane by Blogohblog! It’s template is a bit complicated, still having trouble on how am I going to make those thumbnails work. Chatbox is not working too! In fact, everything was malfunctioning when I first installed it. It took me hours to fix all those syntax / fatal errors, call to undefined function and all those chenylyn. I wasn’t able to fix the errors in the comments section so I decided to replace all the tags with a complete set of tags, which I copied from WP’s default theme. Is that valid? I don’t know but I think the appearance is cool. I’m so loving it! I also think it gave me a renewed zest for blogging, maybe I will update this blog more often. But I’m not done yet! I’m still thinking of new things (maybe widgets) to add, I’m in the mood for designing
