pictures I forgot to upload, and my wisdom tooth

Let's start from oldest to latest. 

1.  Would you look at that? KONG HUA BOYS!!! IN MANILA!!!

PSYCH! Those are Ateneo grade school boys. They were in the college campus for some reason last last Thursday, the same time we had a fire drill. Everyone was made to move out of the buildings (AND CLASSES WERE INTERRUPTED!!! \m/ ). Also, it was raining during the fire drill. Raining. During a FIRE drill. Our teacher told us to leave our things in the classroom, but bring our umbrellas.

2. Last Thursday, some of my English blockmates and I were digging through the books in the Rizal Library, looking for answers for our research assignment. Look at this insanely old volume I found!

3. Old Rizal Library. I'll let this picture do all the talking.

4. Yesterday, my classmates from Kong Hua School and I went to Trinoma! That's Joseph (he's in UP), Karen (Enderun), me, and Jason. 

I found some insanely cool stuff over there.

A CENTRAL PERK SHIRT!!! From Friends! :D~~ 

DC Shirts, like the ones Sheldon from Big Bang Theory wears! 

Note: EVERYTHING COST MORE THAN P1000. Urgh. That's a week's worth of food right there.

5. My right molar had been hurting like crazy since Saturday. These toothaches would come with splitting headaches. I decided to consult the Ateneo clinic this morning. They gave me Biogesic for my headache, and some good piece of advice for my toothache: Go see a dentist.

So I did. I found a nice little clinic across the street from KFC. I was elated when I stepped inside the clinic and heard the sounds of Disney's Mulan coming from one of the rooms. The receptionist told me I could have my teeth checked right then and there, since there were no other patients besides me.

So it was a done deal. I was led to this room (where there was a TV on the wall, playing Mulan!) and after a while of waiting, the dentist came and introduced herself as Dra. Syjuco. She gave my teeth a look-see, and gave my mouth a quick X-ray. 


She said that there were two possible causes for my toothache. It was either the small cavity on my right molar, or my wisdom tooth, which is still inside my gums. She said that it's normal for people whose wisdom teeth are coming in to get headaches or fever. But given the little space at the back of my mouth (I have big teeth, okay), my wisdom tooth is forced to press against the rest of my molars, giving me even greater pressure than normal (oh joy).


She said I could opt to either take the tooth out, or leave it be. If I don't touch it, the headaches might subside after some time, but come back sooner or later. Either way, dental surgery was out of the question for me. I shudder at the thought of somebody ripping apart my gums and extracting a premature tooth (the X-ray revealed that it hasn't even sprouted any roots yet. Awww!). I called up my mom, and she said she'd rather I had this operation in Cagayan, should the need arise. "Because you need someone to hold your hand!" she said.

The dentist also told me she could remove a cavity on my right molar. All the while I was thinking, WHAT. Remove... a cavity? Isn't a cavity supposed to be a hole? How does one remove a hole? And if that hole is removed, won't that leave an even bigger hole? :O

Now I won't bother you with the details of my visit there, but I will tell you that compared to my last visit to the dentist (last summer, and still in Cagayan de Oro), this one was a field of dasies. I quite enjoyed it, actually. The pain in my tooth and my head is gone now, but then again it might come back sometime later, so I'm not celebrating until I'm certain the boo-boo's gone bye-bye!


But still. It feels great to have my head and my mouth back to normal. Nothing left to distract me from studying!
Yyyyyep. No distractions now. Yup. Yep. Yeppity yep...

...No distractions at all.
