A Preferred Coffee House
Gloria Jean’s The Fort has become one of my favorite hangouts mainly because of the free wi-fi and the oh-so-nice ambiance. It’s also quite near where I live, and it’s just a few blocks away from Deej’s office — an ideal location indeed! The baristas are okay too. Just an hour ago, this one crew accidentally took away my drink as he was clearing the table, thinking it belonged to the customer who just left the coffee house. I tried to stop him but I was just in mid-sentence when he walked straight to the trash bin and dumped it in. Oh boy. Good thing the other barista, seeing the expression on my face, realized what just happened so he suggested to get me another drink on the house! There was really no need for them to do that, I really didn’t mind. Besides, I’ve almost polished off the drink that the guy threw away so it was really good as gone. Lol. Oh well, I’m not complaining. Free coffee drink, w00t!
The Pesky Tooth
My negligence has once again caught up with me. I didn’t come to work today so I can attend to a personal errand that I’ve been putting off for as long as I can remember. My Mom and I went to two dental clinics to have them take a look at my impacted wisdom tooth and give an estimate of the cost of the procedure in order for us to make an informed decision. The second dentist gave a cheaper price, so guess what? I finally have an appointment this Saturday. And there’s no turning back!
So why did I wait this long? Well, obviously, I was scared. Still am actually. I’ve never undergone a procedure as complicated as this one before! I’m also scared of needles and I dread having my gums stitched together, or any part of my body for that matter. The surgery is a bit expensive too. I don’t see why I have to pay thousands of pesos just to have something removed. I usually pay for something that I will have not something I will lose. Lol! But God has provided for this, so I should really stop making excuses. I mentioned before that I was having a hard time going ahead with the surgery without my Mom. And now that she’s here, I think I can be a little braver now.
I asked the second dentist about the procedure (“Hey doc, just out of curiosity, what are you going to do exactly??” ) and he answered me this way, “I won’t tell you because the truth might scare you and make you decide not to go through with it!” Aw. I’m afraid he may be right.
“D-day” for me is this Saturday — Wish me luck, guys! Lol. I’m leaving my last will and testament in case something bad happens to me (I could bleed to death, you know! Haha). I’m leaving my computer and gadgets to Deej, my old laptop to my brothers, my pet hammies to Riz, my books to Anna Grace, my other stuff to my barkada, and what’s left of my so-called savings to my parents. Wahehehe!
aawww… bakit wala ako sa will mo? hahaha yun yung inisip lol :P
don’t worry you’ll be fine :D (kala mo ang tapang when it comes to needles hehe)
The Mae Paulino: Kse nasayo na lahat, wala na akong maibibigay pa. haha! ayus ba na palusot? :P
Wow joni, makes me wish you bleed to death on saturday hahahaha
joke lang. of course i know you’ll get through it. helow naman. about time noh.
Tsaka parang kagat lang ng langgam yan (wahahha). Marame pang mas masakit na experiences sa mundo na pinagdaanan at pagdadaanan mo. Mabuti nang tapos na agad para wala na yung sakit, kesa naman araw araw kang pinapatay ng torture. (anu be, parang telenobela).
Cant wait to hear your stowy. :)
Aba, at akalain mo nga, nakagawa ka pa ng excuse for being absent. Parang baliktad? haha. (u have an excuse that’s why you’re absent, hindi you’re absent so you make an excuse noh!!)
RIZ: Tsaka parang kagat lang ng langgam yan (wahahha).
kasinlaki ni BARNEY yung langgam….bwahaha!
ay naku joni, may isa pa akong impacted na wisdom tooth na kelangang idispatsa.
next year na lang. im traumatized

RIZ: Hahaha! Take care of the lil ones for me ok? hehe! Can’t wait to hear my story? “Bloody” story yun sigurado! So I’d rather not. :P Tama ka, it’s about time! haha.
TARITS: Pag Barney ok pa siguro, mabaet nmn un eh. Eh pano kung totoong dinosaur?? haha. Rits, yung kabila ko din daw impacted. Haller! Nxt time na noh. Lol.
haha bruha ang morbid, it’s going to be alright. goodluck.
meron pang kulang noh, lalaki, si deej na lang sakin! hahahah joke lang :P
Sasakit lang yan pag nag wear-off na ung anestesia. (lol at the spelling)
Wooooooooah! Free wi-fi! Weh! Dun na tayo! XD Hahaha.
Oh, by the way! Goodluck on Saturday :(
Don’t worry! You’ll live to tell the tale! :D
isipin mo na lang joni papayat ka…
kasi malamang you can’t chew properly for several days. i lost 5 punds the last time i had a tooth extracted =)
dentist… para sa akin sila ang pinaka-nakakatakot na tao sa buong mundo :P (pwera biro)
Haha don’t worry about it, you won’t feel a thing after the anesthesia. Then after that, when you start feeling something, drink Ponstan 500 agad. Painless! Hahaha. But seriously, I never had any tooth extraction until I got my wisdom teeth (yes, teeth!) out. :D I was scared too but I’m alive. Haha. Kaya mo yan! :)
hello. baskug imo site. i read your comment at yugatech… ilonggo ka man gle
you’ll be fine dear :) how are u na? :)
Oh my gosh! That does sound really scary :(Im sorry you have to get it done but just think of it as something you EVENTUALLY wouldve had to get done.. better sooner than later. Now you dont have to worry about it once its done and youll be a healthier being because of it.
“The surgery is a bit expensive too. I don’t see why I have to pay thousands of pesos just to have something removed. ”
Not true! What if it was cancer? :) Like I said maybe after its done youll be happy you got it done because you will be a healthier person because of it. It REALLY sucks to have to spend all kinds of money for some bump in the road of your health, when it shouldnt have happened, but sometimes thats just life and I guess you just have to get through it. :( Im sure youll be fine though. GL
Hahaha… I remember having mine taken out as well. Hurt like hell after the anesthesia wore off :(
So how is it, Joni? I hope you are fine now.
And that Gloria Jean’s branch… bait ah! There are some establishments who really value their customers.
Happy Sunday, sis!
