    20/20 Vision

    20/20 Vision
    It’s been 2 years since I got my vision back to normal. It’s probably the best decision I’ve made in this life. Also, the rhinoplasty but yeah I might have it fixed again in the future but yeah two modifications that I did in my body is the best decision I’ve made in my life so far. I’m just happy that I get to see everything much clearly hassle free. I used to wear contacts and it’s not very nice. If you are inexperienced like me, you might feel like you’re scraping part of your eye each time but oh well.


    I will miss 2019 because it was a year of failure, adventure, lessons, love, and dreams. I hope 2020 will be better. Now before I say goodbye to it for real, let me just post this one last time. Also, it’s relevant because I went to this country with a 20/20 vision. Ha!

    STAR CITY, PHILIPPINES


    NARA, JAPAN


    HONG KONG DISNEYLAND

    NAMI ISLAND, SOUTH KOREA

    2020, am I right? It’s scary to be honest. With all the news about World War III and stuff. I don’t know if it’s safe in the US or like in the Philippines or like anywhere. I mean, probably not in the Philippines because if it all comes down to it, we will most likely die. Maybe I’ll just stay in Japan. Anyways. I just wish it doesn’t carry on because it’s just a waste of human lives and resources. Who will rescue my dogs? Oh can I just say that during the holiday break, I watched all of the Hunger Games movies and to be honest, different but the same. Also, why is there no Shopee/Lazada 1.1 sale? Just a thought.

    My Z-LASIK SURGERY experience

    My Z-LASIK SURGERY experience


    So, just a day after I arrived, my mom and I went to Shinagawa LASIK center in Makati. I actually talked to one of their agents two weeks ahead so more or less, I already know what to expect and all that. In the morning, I underwent comprehensive check-up where they tested my eyes for almost 4-5 hours (on and off). This will also determine if I’m qualified or not. The guy who tested me was pretty new so he had to repeat things, ask around and stuff. I didn’t really mind all the procedures done though because girl, better safe than sorry. Repeat all you want, sir! I just hate the part where he asked me to “just try” and he was like “just guess” like, dude! NOPE. Of course I was like, “can’t really see it”. What if I guessed right diba. Ayaw ko nga.












    So they dropped all the thing and stuff, right? The doctor then concluded I’m qualified for the procedure. So my right eye is at 250 and my left is 150 with nearsightedness and a little bit of astigmatism. Darn college. The Z-LASIK surgery itself took place at exactly 6:15 in the evening and we were already done at exactly 6:30. Pretty quick! Considering what happened. They started with my right eye with no problem. The doctor had a hard time with my left eye though. He had to re-try for more than five times. He even had to call the supervisor for it and it was the supervisor who did my left eye. In fairness, it was a pretty painless procedure (for a hot minute).  The first check up was actually right after the procedure. Doctor said they might have had a difficulty but all is well. Then this is where reality kicks in. IT WAS HELLA PAINFUL AFTER AN HOUR! Like, can’t open my eyes at all!!!! I was continuously tearing! Like, for reals. The struggle was real my friends. My mom had to guide me out of the building like I’m a blind person. PLUS THE PAIN. It’s like facial wash (with salicylic acid) going in your wide opened eyes and you can’t do anything about it. My left eye hurt so so so worst than the right so I guess that difficulty mattered.

    No pain at all the second day though! They actually provided two tablets of mefenamic acid which really helped with the pain. I had to wear the glasses to protect my eyes from everything. I had to go back the next day because the nurse said that it’s the most important check up of them all. The Z-LASIK package already contains free check up for 3 years and it also contained the after care drops. All in as they would say. 











    Waiting for my turn. 





    Doctor’s instruction was to stop the steroids but continue with the Hialin. Don’t copy this from me, okay? We might have different prescriptions and all that. 












    I also went back for my 1 week post-op check-up and thankfully all is well. Will probably check back with you after 1 month because the doctor said that for one month, my vision would go up and down before it goes steady. But you know, it’s now 12 days post-operation and I’m pretty okay. 






    They also have this thing outside their clinic and your girls took advantage and took lotsa pictures. I want to thank my mom for always being there for me when it comes to my surgeries. That’s all!
