Weatherman said that the rainy season officially starts today. Hello, rain! It did rain today, with thunder and lightning, but mostly it's still warm and humid, like right now.

sleep has not been good lately. i blame the weather. i've woken up several times because of it. i sleep ok with a blanket because it's cold. then i wake up later to get it off me because it's close and muggy. then i wake up again because it's chilly... you get the idea. hope everyone sleeps well tonight.

bought someone a gift online last week {monday, 14th} but it did not turn out well. they were in the country then but they flew out this week {wednesday, 23rd} before the gift was delivered. i followed up and the store said that it might take another two weeks to confirm delivery because they are moving warehouses so there is a backlog on earlier orders. they said if i wanted to cancel, they will offer me store credit or a refund. i cancelled. hopefully they'll get everything updated and sorted out very soon. the online shop? zalora

yesterday we returned the bad specs yesterday. after a little chat, they took the glasses away. they came back and confirmed that the left lens was cloudy. they will scold complain to the lens-maker and fix it. they asked if the right lens was ok. i said i couldn't tell. after a short while, the optometrist took out the metal frame with lenses {corrective/diagnostic tool?} and put it on me. i said the correction was good, just like last time. doctor said this was the same prescription as my new glasses {so i think she meant that the right lens should be ok}. they said i didn't need to go back there and someone else can pick up the fixed specs. it should be done by tomorrow, they said. they will call me, they said. ok, i said. thank you, we said. today got the call this afternoon. asked someone to get it for me. i put it on... hmmm. might need to get used to it pa .

so disappointed. asked someone to pick up my new eyeglasses. when i tried it on at home, it was BAD! half of the left lens was not polished so it was blurry. when i close my left eye, the right was not all OK. correction was off. i am going back there tomorrow so they can fix it. so disappointed.

ate too much chocolate ice cream last night; rocky road. they cooked pancit and i bought dessert for mother's day. today i mentioned how i was hyper and giddy last night; that i may have had a sugar rush from all that ice cream. the reply? i should visit a clinic and get my blood sugar checked. ay, di na nga ako magku-kwento.

paksilog pak siw- si nangag-it log from last week. soooo good! new specs prescription i went to the eye clinic thursday afternoon. had eyes examined and picked out a frame for my new eyeglasses. everyone was so nice and helpful. so my current prescription is... wow! big numbers! my eyesight is worse! no wonder i'm having trouble with the glasses i have now {it is over 4 years old naman kasi }. at the end of the eye exam, i had the bulky metal frame on with the lenses sticking out and i was happy that i could see the tiny letters in front of me clearly. then the optometrist took it off and asked me to put my old specs on... the difference was massive! i wanted the bulky metal frame back! LOL frame the new frame is... it's not as big as i wanted. it's the same rectangle that most people wear but the clear plastic back was a little different so i went for it. and it was the only one i liked from their cheapest frames. pretty penny prices were... high {fram...

goldilocks brownie and blondie snacked on these the other night. i moved the table lamp again. thinking about "multicoat" for the eyeglasses i'm going to get. lens are top priority; frames are not. couldn't care less about brands as long as they are big, full frame, black and plastic {hey that's what i have now!}. might come home with something different though... we'll see!

i mean gigabytes for cloud storage just from the last few weeks: google kicked up 'docs' space to 5 gigs {woohoo!} msn {hotmail, live} skydrive is 7 gigs for new users. old users can keep the old 25 gigs but you better click on that free upgrade on your account ASAP! now on to the weather... it let up today. it was dark and overcast. there was thunder and it finally rained. that's about it. enjoy your weekend!

someone is playing a game on their pc at the moment... from the other room... loudly. cling! clang! ting! ka-ching! don't want to turn it down, ha? even if it's almost 2 a.m., no padin? i can't think. excited. i might get new prescription eyeglasses next week. toilet flush repair will be pushed back to next month.

hello, month of may. the temp is in the high 30s with relative humidity at 48% daw . from what i understand - we sweat to cool us down but sweat doesn't evaporate easily in high % humidity so we feel icky and sticky too. yesterday, it rained for a minute. it was cold again for a minute. it was an amazing minute.
