Impactong Tooth ~ Part 2

This time, the operation lasted for only 40 mins. the one i had last year was for 2 hours!!!!!! http://dessagirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/dental-surgery-it.html

My tooth this year had an unusual shape though. you know how the normal tooth is shaped like, right?

well, mine had its root shaped like a hook! sort of like a letter "J"... and to make the process even more difficult, they discovered that part of the hidden tooth was wrapped with a solid bone!!! my dentist had to drill it and chop it off (oh yeah!) my tooth was similar to this one.. only it's more J-shaped:

the anesthesia (spell check pls) used was super effective. i was only injected twice! (last year they had to give it to me 4x) my stitches were longer though.. all the way to the side of my mouth!

this experience is a very good reason for me to eat all the ice cream i can get! had my parents bring this home from hawaii last week: BEN and JERRY'S rocks!

Yogoo a la Mode: make your own yogurt!

my nieces brought us to a yogurt store where you can have it any way you like it! at $.35 an ounce, you get all the yogurt you want fat-free!!

i dont like yogurt that much but this is really good. the strawberry kiwi tasted good!

i guess this is where teenagers from their neighborhood like to hang: pinoy yang mga batang yan! akala mo eh 23 na! mga 18 palang yan.. mga musmos!

here's where the fattening stuff comes in: your toppings! i had chocolate chips, gummy bears, and fresh strawberries and kiwi in mine... (drooling again)

lizette, princess tita rona and tita dessa:

i really liked it so we had a second round with nico and amen:

they have this wall you can write on.. and erase after.. people write weird stuff here..like on Vday, everyone asked if they can be his her valentine and left bogus numbers.. ngek

The Bestest Burger in the World

i think the first time i had my in n out burger was back in 2000 with ida mae and paula and gio.. it was soooooooooooooo goooooooood!

this resto is found only in the west coast.. they only have like three types of orders

1. burger meal

2. cheeseburger meal

3. double cheese burger meal

#2 is my fave!!! nways, i dont really remember the exact menu but it's that simple!!! the burgers are so plain with no special eck eck sauce.. but it's soooo yummy... the fries... aaahhh... are made from fresh potatoes and not those frozen ones. when you go to california, dont miss this... it's the bestsest bestest burger in the world!!!! (drooling)

lizette and my lil sis..

easy there..

MINE!!!!!

drink all you can..

rona, what the heck?

jasmine..

was trying to tell a story to my nieces.

tita rona, princess, tita dessa, jasmine

the bestest ever burger in the world for me is: IN n OUT!!!

John and Yoko

some complains about John and Yoko in Greenblet 5:

1. my friend, Jacky, went up to the receptionist and said she wanted a table for 4. the girl (who looks like nina) told her she has to be with her friends before they can offer her a table (what the heck?)

2. while that was going on, i was already inside, wating for her. the same receptionist was the one who gave me my table

3. everytime we "finished" one plate, someone would come out of no where and ask us if they can take it away already. so even when my friend wanted to eat some more, she just nodded. by the time they did that to our 3rd dish, the 3 of said NO strongly.. well, that's the time they stopped asking

4. when they gave us our change from our bill, it was kulang! the nerve!

i'm never going back there.. they have bad service.. staff is not friendly as well.. sayang.. their food was good pa naman...

cooking 101 by dessagirl

ok.. since Christmas break was real long... had lots of time to do a dvd marathon of F.R.I.E.N.D.S., eat, sleep.. and yes, try to cook

since i do not know how to cook (at all) i decided to look for whatever we have in our kitchen to make me some pasta..

here's what i came up with:

cheese

mushroom in a can

onions

spam lite

saute onion and garlic

and throw everything else with tomato sauce


mix it with your noodles and.. tada!


a dish no one literally ate! ~ except for me of course...

i think i did well. it tasted good but with a bit of weirdness in it.. i think it's the mushroom.. too much.. i placed the whole can into the sauce.. ehehehhe.. congratulations dessa girl!

Vietnam food

our Vietnam branch sent us some of their delicasies.. i wasnt brave to try them.. just some...

this is hard as dried caramel.. they warned me not to try it since i had my braces on..

this is 14200 dong! (spell check) have no idea how much is that.. siguro mga 100 pesos?

the caramely candy

this tastes like dried atsara daw


this looks like a lumpia wraper

parang prunes daw ito.. and kyamoy

with my magnet.. ito masarap.. cashew with caramel

nice family dinner

our worship service was at 5pm last Aug 17 so my family and i had dinner after church. this is rare so it's always nice to get together for some QT..

also, one of my favoritest restos opened a branch in Las Pinas and i'm hafihafi! Shakey's is the best ever!!! we decided to have dinner here..

and op kors, my peborit food at shakey's: their mojo potatoes and spaghetti!! yummmmmm

umbrella covers and more

was really rainy in hk when we arrived there the other weekend. nways, one of the things i noticed was that stores provided plastic bags for your umbrellas when you walk in so you dont get their place all muddy.

one store had this nice container out front. tek a luk!

you slip your umbrella in the hole on top and pull it out of the box towards you. and behold: your payong is now in a plastic and is no longer dripping all over the place.




i duno if you guys seen this stuff around but for me, this was a first. i wonder what they call it?



another weird thing i saw during my vacation was this gigantic walking stick? mantis? ewan.. it was almost a foot long... just there... on the wall... what the?? it really looked like a twig





another weird thing was this: strawberry butter.. super yummy... and when i asked our friend where they got it, she said someone brought it from GENERAL SANTOS city.. haller??? meron ba nito sa manila? bakit hindi ko alam?
