Update:

Yesterday I used one of my  late birth day present and got LASIK done.

it didnt hurt as much and I am not really feeling any irritation post operation. I guess my lenses are on the thicker side

everything went well. vision is soo clear. though my face feels a bit naked without my fob/hipster glasses/ oi

this whole thing was so fast.

consulation - thursday
surgery - saturday
post surgery check up - sunday

this all happened within 4 days xD dang. korean medical and cosmetics are pretty awesome here.

I did the crystal something lasik. its one of their newer machines that cuts your eye in 5 seconds. and you recover vision within 2 hours instead of a day.

surgery was in 2 parts.
part zero. they numb your eyes and poke a marker on your eyeballs and leaving markings
part one: you go into the first room where they cut your lense - this i found was easier than the next part. though it felt the weirdiest. cause they pretty much put some machine one your eyeball. first some suction procedure then you just see lights scan by...and your lenses are cut..viola.. 5 seconds each
part two: after waiting around 15mins, 2nd machine. the doctor flips open the lense. a lot of water sprayed at your eyeballs and doctors telling you to look straight... then u see a flash and a smell of burned hair. maybe 10 seconds of laser per eye. and then flap closes and the doctor rubbing it more and more water sprayed. then ur done.

and now just constant eye drops and not doing stuff like this (looking at small things for a while) and ur good

First of all,

OMG thank you all for the birthday wishes. haha i was a bit overwhelmed by the wishes <3 You guys are all awesome.
I had a nice birthday with my family. I wish i was back in toronto but oh well.  I am getting older though but oh well, I will start depressing over age when I am over 30..or 80.

I think as a birthday present I may end up getting Lasik... get my eyes done. ahah. consultation is this week. if it works out and i am eligible to do so, I may not need glasses by the end of this month!! wooo. though I am scared shitless about the procedure. Anyone had any experience with Lasik?
haha last year i got my double eyelid surgery and this year maybe lasik... getting a lot of work done there eh?

Also, I came back from 109th seoul comic world. its been pretty good. though seriously..3 cons back to back every weekend has been tiring (ACEN, comic world busan, comic world seoul) I washappy to meet some friends and Also got a surprise present from !!! she drew me the cutest pic of prussia!!!! hahaha I got a picture of Prussia, Hetalia art, in korea!!! the country of ANTI HETALIA. hahah feel like a rebel xD  Thank you soo much!!! <3

books, doujins and bookmarks are going to be there.
please feed me if you can~ i don't have a table partner this time ;A;

Alright. I am finally back in korea and have recovered enough to write this.

ACEN was a blast. although it was again a first time con, i was a bit overwhelmed by the love i got from a lot of people. soo many people gave me such encouraging words <3 you guys are soo nice!

It was awesome sitting next to =centi again. hahaha sick of me much?
and it was nice meeting my other table neighbor I hope you had a fun first AA experience sorry we didnt get to talk too much.
also turns out, my back side neighbor was !! it was great to finally meet you in person! your awesome. thanks for the print trade
again I traveled around chicago with my american con roomies and button senpais and
man I am gonna miss you guys. hope we do this again soon also have fun with my brother during AN xD

a special shout out to thanks for the encouraging words good luck with AAing in the future

Also Also, met up with and in their cosplay epicness. I was soo happy to meet people I know in a new place. thanks for visiting <3 I missed you guys!! and ~Aerialdown lets talk business soon.

hahah the restuarant choices around the con center is limited to really really expensive fancy ass places to eat. but you know us (me, *amy-art*desfunk ) Being "ballers" we ate really well all weekend. Lol I love how i eat like a rich ass girl when i am with you guys and we totally were not underdressed okay? xD

logistics:
profit wise, i did a bit better at ACEN than sakura con. I am considering returning to anime central next year if i do make another trip back to north america   I do really like sakura-con as well but the time for next year is way too early.
demographics: gender was pretty even. maybe a bit older crowd?
AA was huge for a con this size i think. they way it was organized was a bit confusing
dealers and AA were in the same hall
