"mga ilang months pa siguro nun bago ako mag goodbye sa bangs ko na kala ko forever na. And now nga, totally Goodbye na sa bangs ko at may government id na ako."a Bangs is a slang term used in the Philippines for a person who styles their hair covering part of their forehead. This is a story of a girl, who haven't used any Prosthetic Eye ever since she was operated because of her Retinoblastoma, and throughout her life, she would style her hear with a bangs, covering up the part without an Eye. After we fitted her with a Prosthetic Eye, she finally have the courage to tie up her hair into a pony tail, and without the Bangs. Most people would take that opportunity for granted, for someone who does it to hide a part of their face, for me is a very big life changer. And I congratulate her! =) Nagkaroon po ako ng Retinoblastoma when i was 3 years old.
Yung effect napakalaki. since di ako sinanay na naka artificial nung bata ako, need ko mag bangs everyday of my life just to cover the affected eye as in half face bangs. So that people won't usually recognize it. Though napaka unusual ng naka half face na bangs, pagtitinginan padin ako. MAy Hear din every dumadating ang ID picture sa school, i remember pa lagi ako sinisita nung photographer sa school, yung bangs ko daw tapos reremind ko lang siya na yun nga may case ako tas maaalala na niya. Ewan ko ba dun from elementary to high school siya lang naman photographer sa school pero di padin ako naaalala. nasisita pa tuloy ako. Then, yung simple things talaga na everybody can do yung super nakapag pa-struggle sakin nitong case ko. Like kumuha ng mga government ID's, mag pa 2x2 picture, mag ponytail ng buhok, and i remember takot na takot ako sa hangun nun. Kidding aside. Pero nabago lahat nung nagka chance ako magka Artificial Eye ulit. That was December 2016, though sa una mejo di siya ganun ka perfect since matagal ako walang artificial so na affect yung mga muscles sa loob ng eye socket ko. mga ilang months pa siguro nun bago ako mag goodbye sa bangs ko na kala ko forever na. And now nga, totally Goodbye na sa bangs ko at may government id na ako. May 1x1 at 2x2 na din ako. Nakakpaag pony tail na din ako ng buhok. (Yung wala bangs). Nasa journey padin ako na inaayos padin yung opening ng eye ko. pero malaki na panibago compare sa dati.
