Vacation is almost over and so far, I haven't done anything fun lately. My last two months were rather boring or plain. Sad to say, I miss being in school. I barely can't wait to talk to my friends again! Seriously, we haven't been in touch for a month. This long wait is torturing me. I'm starting off my Junior years in a brand new look. Let's picture it: me in thin black eyeliner, black headband with silver jewels, long necklace, totally beaded & leather bracelets, colorless lip balm, straight-do bangs & braces. Oh braces? Did I ever tell you that I finally have these braces? It made me look so .. sophisticated (much?) Nevertheless, I like it in a way. A way that it hurts so much and I can't eat properly. Things that would forever haunt me but I could get used to this, can I?

It all started when we were going to shop at SM Pampanga for new clothes, and my dad had a hearing in one of the courts in Pampanga. My mom was thinking I should get braces since Angeles City is just few miles away from the court. I started thinking about it, "Well it's about time I get a new look." I told my mom I would go, but I really don't want to. Nowadays, I feel so fat. One of the major reasons why I won't go out all this times in vacation month. So there, they were all dressed and waiting for me. We got in the car and into the court. While waiting, my mom suddenly told me all about when he met my dad! It as the first time we could ever talk like this and I was so happy hearing it. Although it's kinda weird and unclear, I still managed to have few good laughs about it. I mean, I'm not in-touch with my emotions because I tend to keep it for myself. My mom does the talking and I do the asking. When my father arrived, I kept teasing him about his dirty toenails that my mum told me at the story w/c made her turn-off. Poor father, doesn't have any idea about it.

Fast-forward to the driving scene and now we arrive at Malijan Clinic. My cousin and uncle lives there(not alone). She checked my teeth, cleaned it and all. We talked about it while eating lunch at a nearby resto. I ate cheeseburger and ice cream(probably my best eat ever) and after that, we went to an Orthodontic clinic for my X-ray(for the teeth) and we went back to the clinic again. That's when they started putting braces on my upper teeth. It hurts, that's the only thing I could say. It wasn't good nor bad at all. When I had it on, I didn't realize that I had one 'cuz it doesn't hurt, I looked at myself in the mirror to see my teeth and presto! I have my braces on! But the dentist(my cousin) told me to go back at the clinic after a week because she'll be putting braces at my lower teeth, pull 3 of my teeth out and make the braces tighter. It's not easy recovering from those braces I tell you! I had to eat noodles and soups everyday and it still hurts. Every hour and even when I try to sleep, the pain emerges and I was pissed most of the time and very quiet.

So that was my tattle-tail story on how I got my braces on. It doesn't hurt too much now like a few days ago, but I assume I'll be having those tooth-aches again by the time they tighten these braces. Oh boy, this is going to be a long hell of a year.
