A day in my life

My day starts with me hearing my most hated sound in the world...my alarm.

Living in a dormitory with roommates around, I always feel sorry that they have to hear this annoying sound as well. This has become a routine, turning off the alarm and standing up after 15 minutes of pondering on how will my day work out.

As a student, I have tasks and classes that I need to attend to. The campus is just a 15-20 minutes walk from my dormitory. Putting on my trusty wireless earphones, I blocked off any noises from my surroundings as I walk to school.

Playing my favorite songs in an app called Spotify, I walk with a light heart to brighten up my day even if I woke up early. This earphones is always with me along side this dependable fan.

Still will be my best investment for this year! I can't stand it when the temperature is hot and I'm sweating a lot so I decided to buy this fan on an sale. It lasts for long hours and it has five levels of fan speed. Perfect for our weather here in the Philippines!

As a 5th year Optometry student, we have our clinic duties. Inside our facility, we use machines such us this picture.

This is called an Auto Refractometer, when the patient looks straight into the image displayed the machine will take the approximate eye grade of the patient. This machine are mostly seen on eye clinics since it is a big help for case management and diagnosis.

This machine also has a function wherein you can assess if the patient has a cataract or not. In this picture, the crystalline lens of the eye is displayed, When the patient blinks and the dark spots seen on the left side did not move then it is indicative that the patient is suspected to have cataract.

What I'm saying here is that these technologies, applications, and equipment that is present in my everyday life even though it serves different purposes, its commonality is that it helps me get through the day smoothly. It helps me get things done, it eases my mind, and it gives me comfort.

My day does not end with me in the clinic. I put my earphones back on when I walk back home. I play music after a tiring but fulfilling day of clinic duty. And I set up my alarm again before going to sleep. Ready to start another day. Up for its challenges, and somehow feel at ease since such things like technology around me exists to lighten up the burden.

As I'm writing this blog, I'm also using technology. Listening to music, and using a laptop like in this picture. Finishing a task, but enjoying since it feels like writing a diary on how my day works. This made me realize that in our generation, technology indeed plays a big role. We are always on our phones, either working or for leisure. This just shows how the world adapted and evolved over time.

We are living with Technology. I believe that it is up to the user on how technology can influence their lives. It is created in hopes to help. Thus, people are encouraged to not abuse its usage. Instead, use it for self-improvement.
