Before I start with this blog, I would like to acknowledge this link for helping me know my sunnies: If you love sunglasses you should know its parts. http://www.sunglasswarehouse.com/thesunauthority/sunglasses-diagram.

Well we call it sunnies or sunglasses and we use it to protect our eyes from the sun. But this simple eye wear became part of my everyday wardrobe. My eyes are kind a weak when the sun is rising at the peak... so I can't leave the house without my sunnies. When I don't feel good and definitely not looking good, the more that I have reasons not to leave my sunnies at home.

I like sunnies and I realized I should collect more especially if I am using it everyday. I thought one with a brand is enough, I mean it's ok if my sunnies are not Oakley, RayBan or whatever, I need to have a spare sun-glass because I'll never know when are they going to break especially that at times I am a bit careless..
My sunnies that my cousin gave me had a beautiful leather pouch but it's not hard enough to protect the sunnies. So one day, I left my bag at the couch, then my dog Peso climbed the couch and sat on the bag. The sunglass was still there and as expected, one TEMPLE is already detached from HINGE. OK my growing passion for sunnies made me realized it's important that I know its parts. The Temple is often called the arm, the one that extends to the ears to keep the sunglasses in place. Hinge is the portion of the frame that connects to the Temple.

My second sunnies looked protected with its hardbound, solid, bulky case. So I am confident it is shockproof. I was also very careful with it because for someone like me, that sunnies was expensive. I used the sunnies everyday except when it's raining. One summer day I just heard a click sound while wearing the sunnies. I didn't know it came from the sunnies, and when I was on my way to LRT station I just felt that the frame of my sunnies is becoming loose and when I checked on it, the "eye size" was already out of the frame. I was a bit disappointed with the brand, and when I asked one Sales lady of a particular eye wear brand, she said one of the possible reason is I am acidic. The sunnies that I used is made from plastic and the plastic material has the tendency to become brittle when exposed to acid. I am really acidic, I am aware of that, will it mean I will avoid plastic sunglasses? of course not.. I learned my lesson well, so I should have spare sunglasses and I should use it alternately so each of them will have rest from acid exposure. Now I have reeasons to collect...

More than protecting our eyes from the sun, these sunnies normally bring out the glamour in us. Who does not look good when wearing sunnies? Instantly the "movie star" look in us shines unexpectedly.

But I believe, we don't need to spend much when it comes to sunnies or sunglasses, of course if you can afford the branded type go for it. But if the budget is limited, try to look around, there are lots of good sunnies and yet a lot cheaper. After my experience with the branded that broke down without a warning, I realized brand is not important, as long as it can go with your lifestyle, well that's enough. I would like to recommend i2i eye wear collection, for a very reasonable price you can get a good sunnies that never break easily. I wore it when I was at the Potipot Beach Resort. It indeed matched my rush guard..
I bought one sunnies at Maldita Outlet in SM San Lazaro, it costs around P300.00 only, I didn't buy it because it is cheap(that's a bonus), bought it because it really made wonder to my face when I wore it.

Again I am lucky to have generous cousins, Ate Tina went home to the Philippines and one of her too many gifts for me was the Armani Exchange sunnies. I use it alternately with my i2i and Maldita. Honestly I would like to start my sunnies collections, but my targets are those not so popular brands that I see in malls, it costs cheaper but it does not look cheap
But most of all always remember that we use sunnies to protect our eyes, looking gorgeous is just secondary..
