"Impacted Tooth!"

An impacted tooth is a tooth that fails to fully pass through the gums.

And an "impacted tooth" was the reason why I need to have my wisdom teeth pulled out, and usually have to be removed by an oral surgeon.

I had asked people around what was it like for them, "Don't worry!"; "It won't take long!"; "Just relax. You can still eat."..

And alas!
It was my turn.
I had to pee in the middle of the surgery cause I couldn't hold on any longer. I wasn't expecting to be at the dental chair for an hour! (the surgeon said "thirty minutes. My ass!)

Anyways, continue with my story.
I was told I have to pull out the gauze inside my mouth after an hour. And coward as I am, seeing blood inside kinda' ticked me. But I just have to do it. I was glad I took patient in this for I wouldn't think there were 3 gauzes!

With my low pain tolerance, they gave me 5 shots of anesthesia. I personally think the hardest part for me was not during the surgery, it was the recovery almost killed my whole enthusiam.

I couldn't open my mouth. (So eating on my left side is out of the picture)

Doctors advised me to have lots of lots of ice cream. That didn't help either.

I am the kind of person who only drinks intensively "hot" soups. "hot" water. "hot" stuffs! (yes, even in summer).

The pain was just incomparable.

Let you know soon how will I deal with this pain. *praying*

"The Patay Gutom Club"

Don't we always have something for the holidays?

The excitement.
The anticipation.
And the planning.

And this was one of the holidays that didn't go the way we first planned. We were supposed to go on a road trip, but instead we stayed in the city.

Though we did not go out to these fancy places, but spending the nights was way much better. I will not exchange the late-night movies; the trip going to the supermarket to buy the ingredients for our dinner (X cooked it for us); the vietnamese cuisine (oh my gawd!!! it was so yummy!); the crazy topics we had when we had brunch (which includes X & Relyn running in circles)..

I am really learning now that it is not about the quantity of the friends I have, but the quantity of our friendship that matters.

"Changes"

I know that people would rather have the "smooth sailing comfort life" than having those problems in life. Who wouldn't? but last year I found myself wanting more.

I want something to change.

I quit my six-years of work, renew my yoga membership, my need of attitude change towards our worship team.. etc. More on positive side. I want more of Him, that I seek Him diligently and humbly. Some people wouldn't understand, others would even question why, but if you're a real friend, just support, don't judge. (I thank u~)

So here I am.
A new job.
Forcing myself to go to yoga classes at least three times a week.
Exerting effort to attend worship practices whole-downheartedly.

I hope for more changes in my life though. I am waiting how God would surprise me each day with His blessings. *loved*

"Sisters"

I always anticipate whenever my family comes for a visit. This time it's my sister & Justine.

I posted this photo on my FB and I got tons of feedback that we look alike so much. (Really??)

Anyways, this is her.
Silly. Snob. Bitch

Silly to those whom she cares.
Snob to those who deserves it.
Bitch to those who crosses her way.

She's my sister.
and yes, I will always love her.

"Conversations"

I hate it when I'm busy.
I hate it when I don't have time for my family or friends.

So you can imagine how glad I was to have the time this afternoon with Susan. We catched up and talked non-stop. (HAHA!) Me and Susan sing in church, I remember the closest time we had was when we practice our notes, I used to sing harmony with her. But maybe because we don't sing the same parts anymore, the time we have for each other lessen naturally.

She will always be in my heart though, we will always be friends.

Blessed.

"Addiction"

Kids are cute. Kids are naughty. Kids are naive.
They believe in anything people say.

And I was one of them.

My Mom used to say all the time, "Wag kayo uminom ng kape, magiging tanga kayo"
(Don't drink coffee, you'll get stupid) Basically, we were not allowed to have one. I couldn't remember exactly when was my first taste of coffee, all I know is.. I LOVED IT! Though I have to admit, when I was sipping my first taste of coffee, "Would I really be "tanga" crossed my mind. LOL

There is always something about coffee.
The smell of it, the whole aroma it brings, or maybe the cup itself.
I am not sure.

I just love coffee. I just know. . ☕

"Practice of Patience"

Due to CNY holidays last week, we need to do one-day work this Saturday. I don't mind coming in the office cause I know it won't be busy today. Who works on weekends? I am not a millionaire. I am just a simple girl who lives day by day with what I have =)

Starbucks is kind enough to promote a buy one take one. Me and my colleagues drastically fall in line to get that! haha~ So this is the product of me being patient.

My hot cup of Latte coffee.

"Wet Paint"

Some time last month, I accidentally touched a wet paint in the office. I RANNNNN to the toilet as fast as I can to wash it out.

And just today, first day of February. Miraculously, I did it again.

WHY O WHY?!?

Now, I think I know the reason why I had never like green.
This is it, right? This is the reason why!

Arghh.
