My Dental Diet

This is not good. This is not good. Its been a week since I've religously followed my dentist's recommended diet for me. Yes this diet is from my dentist..who has provided me with "The official No-Eat-List" in caring for my brackets and my teeth. One week pa lang... and I already feel like Mt. Pinatubo. Only I dont know when i'll snap. Im trying to stay positive (at least Im losing weight..;) ) but i think im starting to feel the sadness sinking in. I miss real food. (note: real food = meaning in my world...nuggets, fries, chicken, sweet n sour, isaw na bilog - well they're not really the healthy line-up but hayaan niyo na ko...) Kanina lang napanuod ko nga ang commercial ng Mc Donald's, Naluluha na akong talaga, walang exagg..promise. ;( kunan ba daw ng close-up shots ang nuggets at fries....para na rin akong nanuod ng Malaala Mo Kaya. Drama ang dating sa akin ng commercial na yun.

What's funny pa is...yesterday at the office, I found myself googling for pictures of fried chicken/steak/ and yes even isaw. I saved them to a folder and even edited them so they'll all be in one same photo. After doing that, I just stared at it. wala lang. Then I realized i must be going insane (if im not already), googling for photos of food i'd like to eat that im not allowed to eat is in the first place ridiculous already, tapos tititigan ko pa. So yun I deleted the photo but not... without hesitation in my heart. Pathetic wahahaha ;p. Really pathetic eh?. ;p huhuhu. 2 months daw sabi ni doc. It sounds like foreverrr and everrrrr. I feel like my hunger and my cravings are confined in my own Big Brother House. It is nerve racking. If you know me, you'd know Im forever in love with sweet n Sour Pork. And Sweet n Sour Pork is just one of those things i'd like to sink my teeth in asap. Because right now...I'm missing food like a teenage girl whose always hopeful to see her first big crush pero hindi naman niya maka-close. Pakiramdam ko by the time talaga na pwede na akong kumain maiiyak ako sa tuwa... FoooooOOooooOooood. I dont know how long id stay good to the diet.

The Perfect Bite

She was cleaning my teeth and I was feeling rather nervous so i bit as hard as I could.
I kept my eyes on the light above me and was just praying na sana hindi ako ma-hook ng doctor by accident.
After a while i dropped my eyes down and noticed i was biting on something i wasn't supposed to bite..
I was biting the dentist's thumb.
The whole time pala, todo ang kinakagat ko ay yung dentist ;p
I looked up at her and smiled.
"Ay doc...kinagat ba kita? ahehehe" awkwardly.
"oo" sabi naman niya.
"ay sorry...sorry talaga... now ko lang na realize kinagat pala kita. sorry hehehe" :)
In fairness, hindi naman siya mukhang galit...
hurt lang.. hurt. ;p

Ako at Ang Aking Mga Ipin

Wish granted. Swollen pa rin ang aking gums from the extractions nung Saturday. yes. extractionssss. Kasi pinasabay ko na pabunot yung 2 sa upper molars ko. yehey ang saya. ;p Okay. That was a lousy bluff. I was just trying to comfort myself, kunyari na lang gusto ko talaga ganitong pain ;( Ang totoo,hindi masaya kasi ang sakit ang sakit sakit.) I was fine already nung Monday pero hindi ko natiis ang mag mega kain and then mega mumog with matching mega coke nung Noche Buena. It seems Im now experiencing Dry Socket crisis. :( wuhuhuhu. Dont make me explain hindi ako dentist.

Natatakot na tuloy ako. Next in line na ang aking Impacted left lower wisdom tooth. Where the hell is the tooth fairy? Just imagine hihiwain niya muna yung gums then who knows kung paano niya huhukayin palabas ang aking wisdom tooth. Can i take any more pain? ha? ha? ha? (we cannot escape our destiny, akala ko forever ko ng malulusutan ang pagbunot sa wisdom tooth ko pero hinde hinde hinde)

I was lying there and paulit ulit kong pinakikinggan ang "The Way I Are" on my Ipod while she struggled to pluck my tooth one at a time. At one point I wanted to scream "be over" and at another i wanted to say "gently please...take your time". Mixed Emotions. Feeling ko unti-unting lumuluwag ang tornilyo ng skull ko. I was staring up at her, watching tiny drops of sweat forming on her forehead, thinking "i hope huwag ako mapatakan ng pawis niya di ba?". Thankfully, Natapos rin. She showed me my teeth and I looked at them like it was nothing. Astiiig (artista ka cherryl. artista ka ;p) . She asked me to sit over at the waiting area for a few minutes, then after a while she gave me a box of cassava cake and sent one of her maids to walk me out and get a cab for me.I must admit that all the kindness scared me a little. I have never met such a nice dentist. An idea is, could she have done something wrong?. I am being skeptic for no reason, maybe because the past two dentist who handled me before, yung isa nung bubunutin na niya yung ipin ko and she was about to inject the anesthesia sa akin said "sige! maglikot ka! para mabali tong karayom sa bibig mo" Kahit pa nag iinarte ako, takutin ba ako.. (pero naging effective naman at talagang tanggal ang drama ko that time). Let's just say I haven't been lucky with dentists...until Now. But God deliver me from evil...sana naman maging smooth every visit. As the song tells it "Do it to me gently".
