PseudoFangs

I went to my dentist with the boyfriend last Saturday for my braces' monthly adjustment a.k.a. HELL. He added some of those Sanrio-like rubber bands to establish my bite thus the PseudoFangs. The only thing I love about these rubbers is that it makes me look like I have sprouted fangs and whenever I talk, people usually look at me with those weird stares. Hello, I am Caroline Forbes. Ciao.

P.S.: Please forgive the crappy webcam shot photo. Too lazy to upload from my phone.

P.S.S.: I sound like shit. I haven't had a decent sleep since last week. Zzzzzz

Night Duty

Coming home at around 1:15 in the wee hours of the night, our visitor opened the door for me. Apparently, my grandmother's check-up is scheduled for today (although technically, that was yesterday already) and she and my aunt traveled from Or. Mindoro to Veterans Hospital all the way up North. I was surprised to see my aunt's face aged 10 more years compared to the last time that I saw her which was more than two months ago. Caring for an old person is hard. But add Alzheimer's disease and diabetes to the formula and you'd get the worst time of your life.

It has been two years since my grandmother was diagnosed of Alzheimer's disease. At first, it wasn't that much of a burden because it was rare that she forgets about anything. She is an intelligent woman. A teacher turned District Supervisor, she was wise and sharp. She even remembers every single person who has a debt from her. Anyways, as the months got by, her condition worsened. Being a diabetic, it was already too much when she wakes my aunt at least six times in the night just to go to the bathroom and afterwards ask for water. Now that she has become worse, getting even forty winks would be a miracle.

Being that, as a Nursing graduate and a granddaughter, I sympathize with my aunt and shared the load of taking care of lola tonight. This will be a long one as for the last 30minutes, my grandma has already gone to the bathroom thrice, asked for water four times and has shouted "Nay!" (my great grandmother) twice. The latter was the worst.

Tonight I want my aunt to have a decent sleep. For her sleep has been deprived from her for the last 18 months. She is also a first born like me and I feel the pain of watching your mother so helpless and now, calling out for her mother. Though it was creepy, as it sank to me the meaning of this, I feel the huge responsibility of being a daughter. One who has to take care of her parent the moment they feel that life is slowly ebbing away. Not only because it is a responsibility, but also out of respect. Out of love.

Because I Just Have To Say This

"He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though...keep up with my news...check if I'm happy..."

I finished book 3 for the nth time very early this morning and may I say that this I think is one of the best from the series. I have this contented feeling that I can't really explain. It was such a good feeling.

Unlike Harry, I have loads of godparents who swore in the name of God that they'd be there for me shall my parents are unable to. Unfortunately, all of them are overseas, unable to talk to me when they can because I never had the chance to get to know them. The fact that they were away from bothered me before because during the holidays, I was the only one who has no presents under the tree. (Ako nang kawawa) But I never really voiced this out to my parents whom I think compensates with the ang pao that they usually give me behind my siblings back. It really wasn't about the gifts though. As I've said, I really wanted to know the people my parents chose for my second parents.

I wonder how it would be like if Sirius was my godfather though. I think it would be absolutely brilliant.

Sanrio

My dentist said that the Sanrio-like rubbers he added to my braces called hell should last for around two weeks.

Here I am, orphaned by four pairs of rubbers, barely a week after said installation.

Why are those little rubber hair bands called Sanrio by the way? Is it because they're cute?

They look so effin' alike. O_____O
