RIP Caer

A friend from the US passed away recently. A week and some days ago to be exact. I just wished that I had checked my correspondence earlier. The shock has gone away but the sadness is still inside my heart. She was such a lovely and strong person too.


 Caer passed away on November 16th, 2010 at 9:00am. 

It's unreal. Just over a month ago, I was exchanging comments with her and from her positive updates on her chemo, we all thought she was going to get better. She was a strong, beautiful, courageous, lovely woman who never judged a person even if that person had different viewpoints from her own. We were lj friends for more than 6 years but I knew her in two years earlier. 

Caer gave me advice, read and offered her own helpful thoughts and she was one of the most loveliest woman I've had the chance to get to know in life. Wish I was on the other side of the world so that I could have attended her wake.

Rest in Peace Babe and love you.

Missing you as ye shall be sorely missed.


RIP

Braces time!!

I am getting braces!! Finally, after 5 bloody years of enduring crappy teeth (which, btw, only turned crappy in college), I have saved enough money to get some orthodontic help.

Okay, my teeth aren't horrible as some people but I've always been bothered by them especially when taking close-up pictures. The front teeth are uneven compared to the other teeth and one of my canines have shifted out of place. Disgusting.

I went to see Dr. How in Bangsar and he is very sweet and nice. He asked me if I was of mixed parentage because in his words, I have a European nose. Hmm..how bizarre, I always thought I had a Native American nose, lol!! His services are a bit expensive compared to the norm but his personality and perfectionism is worth every cent.

Bad thing is that I will have to extract four healthy teeth!! And one stupid, small wisdom tooth that wasn't extracted because that Filipino surgeon bitch in Torrance said it wasn't worth it!! Stupid cow, my insurance could have covered that! It wasn't worth paying a premium of $44 per month for dental insurance if I couldn't utilize the services properly. Grr.

So my braces will be fitted next Wednesday and I am excited. Only thing I'm not excited about is the atrocious parking in Bangsar. Does every expat and wannabe social climbers and their mothers in KL go there for lunch or something? Sheesh.

Pictures will be up next week.
