So the trouble with my eyes, as my new optometrist said, is because my Acuvue contact lenses don’t breath that well. Plus, with the AC in office building, my eyes also got dry out. Not to mention the eye strain from reading in low light on the train. Back to the lenses. I guess after having used them a few years, my eyes got to a point of early suffocation.

I can’t fucking believe people are already using Katrina to scam money. (Kudos to Frenchy for a link to this post.) My dearest readers: I know you are all decent human beings and must have already donated to help out the victims in the South. If you haven’t, here’s a chance to redeem yourself. FEMA’s list of agencies you can donate through. Donate, people. Donate. *UPDATE* Software engineers and other tech savvy people, WE NEED YOUR HELP with coordinating Katrina survivor information....

I joined the ONE Campaign to fight global AIDS and poverty. So should you. Doesn’t cost you anything or that much work. I am also thinking of signing up to volunteer if they do anything down in Long Beach. It might as well be the teachings from my school growing up, but I do truly enjoy community involvement and services. You see, the motto of Mater Dei is SERVIAM. It’s all about serving others as a way of serving God. Although it is Catholic at the core, but it applies to Buddhism as well. Kindness and being selfless is not...
