Two days ago, I realized that I really got a poor [if not impaired] eyesight.

I often wear my eyeglasses with a recent Up-"grade" , where upgrade doesn't really translate to something "better" .

As I was seated while listening to the reviewer, I suddenly decided to remove my eyeglasses, thinking that I'll just be reading the handouts. Surprisingly, I can't even read what was written on my handouts placed on my desk.

I thought that it is really unfortunate that I had to deal with this ailment. It was just this night that I realized that having a poor vision isn't that bad at all.

As my vision wandered one night along EDSA while looking at the cars and the lights along MRT, I think it was a great sight.

I'm not really a fan of "lights" but then they seem to have an effect to people. Aside from preventing depression of course.

I'm not sure if it is my near-sightedness or my astigmatism that caused my vision to be a little spread out. I found that a single lighted bulb on a normal view [while wearing eyeglasses] is just a bulb lighted. Whereas, when I looked at it in my own view [without wearing my eyeglasses], it is like a wreath with a size 10 times larger than the bulb. The wreath is composed of countless little lights arranged well like those in a kaleidoscope.

As for the things attached to the light, like the cars or the light post, I could slightly see them clearly with the "smudge" effect. HAHA
