  Okay. I have a dental appointment at noon with my good friend Bok. Sniff. Because...I have cavities. Because she is a verrrry verrrry good friend, she has promised to cut the ehem, crap, and give me outright a dose of anesthesia.
Last week, I had my teeth cleaned by Bok, of course, after I cleaned her teeth muna. Thus the discovery of those pesky cavities. See? Even dentists get cavities. It is very, very disconcerting to be IN the dental chair, instead of being chairside. One feels very vulnerable, cold, helpless. Yes, I'm actually quite afraid of dentists. This is where the "sleepy juice" comes in. I'd rather take a good dose of anes, rather than twisting my stomach into knots wondering if the procedure would hurt.
Doc Bok and I studied in UP using these same methods Glitter on the church grounds Saturday and Sunday was the feast of St. Peter. Where there's a feast, there's a ...fiesta. Ang dami kong nakitang Teachers of Christmas Past. Freaky...they are still teaching. Ang hardy talaga ng mga katawan nila. I had a booth with glitter tattooing. Business was okay, nabawi ko naman lahat. Had there been more people nung Saturday, I would've earned a more respectable profit.
Mas madaming customers nung Sunday. The kids were really cute. We even had pre-school twins and their sister who kept coming back, till they each had two tattoos. We also had a mom, her bayaw (hmmm), and her two kids who each got tattoos. Big thank yous to Vangie, Arl, Jeff and Kikay. Sobrang helpful ninyo! Vangie and Arls were my marketing girls. Si Vangie din, very efficient bookkeeper, tallying sales, giving me updates like how much more we needed para bumawi, hahaha. Nakakatawa si Vang, nagpanic siya at one point kasi she thought she painted the PETALS on the rose tattoo GREEN. Pag tingin ko, hindi naman, I said, "Eh mga leaves yan eh. " For a moment,na-confuse pala ni Vang kung ano ang leaves at ano ang petals.
Kaya ngayon, asar-talo sakin si Vang. Tug-of-war-meets-pabitin During Saturday, there was also a Palarong Pambata on the school grounds. There was a surreal incident of the Only In The Philippines variety. During the "pabitin" game, medyo nagkagulo ng konti. The bamboo lattice frame thingie, habang nag-aagawan na yung mga bata for prizes, fell through this kid's head. The frame was literally around his neck. I didn't actually see it happen, but from the kwentuhan alone, total weirdness. Parang Looney Tunes. Kulang na lang may brand na ACME yung frame. Sa sobrang gulo ng pabitin, which is the VERY nature of a pabitin game, the other kids didn't notice that the frame was stuck nga and they still kept tugging for prizes, pulling the kid's neck in different directions. Buti na lang the kid was okay, scratched up lang siguro ng konti. But I'm sure he won't play pabitin again. Ever. Cute product name alert Name for a nachos stand at the fiesta bazaar: Catacotacos
