You are an inventor and a creator. You approach everything in life with a relaxed attitude. You accept what you can't change.

How to Get the Hubby into Golf

R called me the other day to try and convince me (again!) to play golf with him. I told him I had no interest in baking under the sun for several hours, hitting a tiny ball into a field and running after it. Seems like a waste of time to me. But he kept telling me about his new Stack and Tilt Golf Swing Trainer. He says his handicap improved, and his golf buddies have been asking his secret. I told him to invite the hubby instead. Willy needs a hobby, to take his mind off the pressures of work.

Having A Root Canal

My mom has been suffering tooth pain for over a week now. She went to the dentist last week, who took out her broken crown and cleaned her teeth and gums. The dentist told her that she had a gum infection and that was the source of her pain. After the cleaning, she was pain-free for a couple of days, but the pain returned, even worse than before. It transferred to her neck, her head, and the back of her neck. She finally had a root canal treatment done this afternoon.

I don't know about you, but I have to steel myself for dental treatments other than ordinary cleaning. The smell of the dental clinic, the whirr of the drilling machines fill me with dread. I do go to the dentist regularly, but frequency does not make me feel more at ease at the thought of dental appointments.
I accompanied Sister to her root canal sessions last year. I could see her suffering and I was sorry that she had to go through it. I almost had a tooth done a few months ago, but luckily, I didn't need to have it done. I just needed a new filling.
Our old dentist had her own clinic at the ground floor of her house. It didn't necessarily make her more accessible to her patients, because she could only see patients 4pm and down, and on certains days only.
Our new dentist has clinics based in malls. She is required to open on the days the mall is open, which is actually everyday. During holidays her clinic is also open. But you have to make an appointment usually, because she is in demand. She is not the only dentist in her clinic, she has a few other dentists on her staff too.
The dentist is convincing me to bring Belle in for a check up. I want to, but the thought of Belle crying her heart out while a stranger is peering into her mouth is daunting. I saw a little girl a while ago, screaming and crying while the pedia-dentist was examining her. I thought, "Baka mauna pa ako umiyak kesa sa anak ko!" But the dentist was right, I should learn the right way and right position of brushing Belle's teeth. Better a few tears now, instead of a lot of tears when cavities come.

Blogging Priests and Nuns

When I was growing up, the image of priests and nuns was that they were old and set in their ways. They could never understand the normal people because they were in a different world altogether.

But now, there is an influx of young people joining the religious communities. Not only young people though, but even widows, widowers, people who have experienced the outside life and have chosen another course.
These new generation of religious have taken up a new trend, blogging. There are a lot of priests and nuns maintaining blogs of their own. These blogs may be about the religious life, or just their everyday life in general. Some of them are even entering online businesses, and doing well. They must be the worst paid CEOs, all the profit in the business goes to their community.
