Weekend Wonders: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Because I write to ease the pain, literally!

The Good - One down! This week’s good is an ode to one of my wisdom teeth; I hope to see you in teeth heaven

This morning I woke up a little bit nervous knowing that I’ll be going under the knife. And, no... I didn't wake up as a chicken. I meant surgery. It's not like I am dying or anything and I was really cool about it (or at least I made it appear like it) but I just know that when it comes to procedures involving the oral cavity, it's going to be bloody like a Russian...

And painful like love... well, yeah sometimes. But I don’t want to really talk about love right now because I am in a lot pain.

The best part is I met a girl named Anesthesia. I last met her on April 22, 1998; that's like, almost thirteen years ago. We were both young then. Actually I was being circumcised (and it was bloody like a Russian too!).

This time around, Anesthesia came a few moments before a procedure called "Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extraction". It's got a name that long because dentists don’t like baptizing the things they do with scientific names.

Anesthesia, she can be a bitch sometimes (and I love it!) and she made me choose between her and the tooth and it sure felt a lot like choosing between wisdom (the tooth, I named him wisdom a few days back) and love. It sure felt a lot like choosing between reason vs. emotion; brain vs. heart.

Anyway I chose Anesthesia, end of story... or is it just the beginning now?

I don't get it; sometimes it’s not our fault that we feel pain. In my case, those very lazy wisdom teeth grew old while lying down (imagine how lazy they are). More than that, they were starting to bother the other teeth. If only I could save them all...

As for anesthesia, well I guess it’s really my fault; I knew that she'll leave me eventually and yet I expected her to stay longer. I really don’t know if it's her departure that’s causing the pain or if it's the fact that I got dumbfounded once again.

it's really painful to find yourself left dumbfounded by the same person. Even if you knew she'd leave you again. Twice. Thrice, after a month from now (read below).

In any case, I know it'll be easy to replace her. Actually, another girl named Ponstan is doing the job (the clean type of job, that is) expected of her. I heard her cousin Advil work's faster but the thing is she's from the Ibuprofen family so she's really not that good when it comes to dealing with the swelling.

But the thing is, the first girl you love? She will always be irreplaceable.

I'll still yearn for Ms. Anesthesia a lot.

First love never dies… especially if you first met her while you were being circumcised.

P.S. If you why Alaxan never came by to help me ease the pain, It’s because he's in Los Angeles pampering the Pacman.

The Bad - one more to go

The thing is Wisdom has a brother which also goes by the name of wisdom. It was a mix-up waiting to happen but the dentist was good and he got the right one.

And the one that's left is the one on the left.

Anyway, the wisdom that's left of me has been served and in a month, it'll most probably get evicted. I'll get to see Anesthesia again, after all... and that will be worth another blog post for sure!

The Ugly - Nothing!

Nothing ugly for this week except that I will most probably cut things short here...

I'll be fine don’t you worry about me... and yes Ms. Anesthesia, I'll just be fine without you!
