Hello, Brace Boy

I was actually hoping that today would be a day of productivity (especially, that I have a lot of school-related tasks that needed starting), and given my free time today, I should have had been be able to accomplish a lot of things.

But since I was lazy-balls mode the whole day, I snoozed my alarm for the nth time from 6 AM until the moment I woke up at 10. And of course, I usually start my weekend by updating my online social networking accounts—seriously not very productive, unless I woke up earlier, then I would run a few rounds around the block. This is why I’m very jealous at times to people who do not have internet connections in their home. I mean, just think of the countless possibilities that they are able to do outside the constricting clutches of the World Wide Web.

Still, I was able to do something “sort of” productive. By 2 PM, I visited a dentist, who was a friend of my cousin, in Time Square Building in Gen. Luna Street, asking if retainers would do the orthodontic magic of fixing my gapped front teeth and some minor relapse in my lower set of molars. And of course, as expected, he recommended braces (fuck much).

So I thought about it for a while and consulted my mom. I seriously wouldn’t want to undergo the whole “nerd phase” of having the unfortunate opportunity to wear both glasses and braces. But then, my mom was willing to finance (again—since I had braces in high school) and I considered that this would only be temporary and would last only for 10-12 months, plus it would finally fix my gapped front teeth and definitely would boost my self-confidence in the long run.

Hopefully, I made the right decision, both with regards to financial and esteem matters.
