Magic 500

By now you must be wondering why I am staving off writing this entry, despite having quite a few days of delay between the last entry and this one. Well, to be honest, it is partly due to the fact that this is the magically 500-th entry and that I am also kind of unable to use the computer for quite a few days post surgery.

What surgery you might say. Well, refractive correction---'nuff said. My vision is sufficiently improved now, and even as I am typing this, I am not wearing any glasses (have not been doing do for the last 3 days). It feels kinda odd to be doing work like that without the use of glasses---it feels as though something has been missing in my life. Eh, no matter---at the very least I get to re-experience the feeling of sight before my good vision was robbed from me forever by the persistent myopic condition that affects everyone within the family.

My ability to see has been intertwined with two main forms of vision, namely that of actual refractive capability of my eyes, and the other being the psychological image processing that is done post signal-getting, i.e. with the use of imagination and combination of images. With these two techniques, I can often obtain much higher resolution than what the physical system dictates, and has allowed me to operate at times when I didn't have my glasses on, even prior to the surgery.

Now that the surgery has reduced the refractive errors in my eyes, the technique that I use has given me the ability of near-perfect vision, which is of course a good thing.

So, what about the 500-th post huh? There's really nothing special planned for it---I can't think of anything spectacular that I would really want to talk about during the 500-th post. So, this event will probably pass without any fuss of any sort, with the counter still incrementing. One thing that is interesting though, is the fact that I am still here writing on, despite facing so many problems in the past, from depressed moods to general discomforts in life/irritations at the inanity of some of my fellow earthicans. I still write on.

Writing... this is one of those solitary pursuit activities that I truly treasure a lot. I used to not like keeping diaries nor journals, preferring to bottle up everything within myself. But as time grew on, I realise that I cannot keep on living that way, since there was a practical limit to how much I can safely keep within me without killing myself from thinking/brooding too much. And then of course the blog happened, at a time where its use was on the wane, I picked up my figurative brush and started to write here. I wrote about my life, my life at-large, other people's life, the world and anything that I was interested to think about at that time. Some of these things are personal, but not to the point that I do not even want to discuss about it in public. Many of the stances/points that I talk about here are the same ones that I frequently use in conversation; they are literally public knowledge, and so I am not afriad to talk about them.

Alright... I am losing my train of thought now. I think I will just stop writing for now.
