One of the pads from my eye glasses must have fallen off which is actually a good thing since it was only then that I noticed the remaining pad having this nasty-looking yellowish shade instead of the original transparent white. I had these eye glasses for close to three years now (estimated) but them being Oakleys help in not making them look dated (or so I would like to believe).  I considered it an investment when I bought them back in the day and here they still are: serving the vanity of its owner. I call it vanity because their purpose, for me, is preventive. You see, old as I am, I still see in 20/20.  So, if you see me wearing them when I’m not in front of the PC, it must only mean that they’re there to hide my dark eye circles. OK, that’s the cue for all you four-eyes to hurl multiple sharp objects in my direction now (while I exit, stage left).

To justify its cost, which I still use to convince myself up to now, these eye glasses are really durable. Mine are the now-phased-off “Off Line 4.0” and what I only did all this time was have the lenses replaced regularly with the same anti-glare and scratch-resistant coating and they’d come out of the optical shop looking good as new!

Durability. That’s what we should all look out for when buying things/the tools that we need moreso since hard times are upon us. What’s the use of inexpensive items when they’ll bail out on you after a couple of months tops? You’ll only end up spending more instead of saving. Not that we should dismiss buying cost-effective alternatives, no, I’m not harping that gospel. Give me different priced items of the same quality and I’ll definitely take the cheaper (albeit “brandless”) alternative, without a doubt.

Going back to those nose pads, the pair I got cost me P305.00. I also had to go to several stores because not all optical shops carry them. The store would have to sell Oakley eyeglasses (or the small-sized sunglasses) for them to have the nose pads because, apparently, only Oakley nose pads can fit into their own “prescription eyewear.” Pfffft. Ordinary ones would have only cost me just a third of that!

Whew, this post smells really douchebaggy, donchathink?

ALSO, can anyone give me a congratulatory pat on the birdie for that winning macro shot?! LOL
