Introduction:
Hello everyone, here I am once again with another entry. I apologize for not being active once again. Well, as the title says, so much to do so little time. I'm sure many of you are going through the same situation?
Surgery:
Unfortunately, my father went through another surgery. This time, I wasn't with him. He went to get his gum check at the VA (Veteran Affairs [Happy Veteran's Day to all veterans out there by the way]) and they had him go through the operation at the same day. I had no idea for sure. This was the same day that I came to my intern late because he took that car that I drive
and I didn't know how to take the bus. Luckily, my mom came home before I could start walking to school (believe me, it's a pretty long walk if you ask me, well not exactly.. about half an hour perhaps?). So I went to work late and came to class after the internship and when the class ended, that's when I found out about his gum surgery. The side effects is just so terrible. His cheek is so swollen that it looks like he has two softballs in his cheeks (like the cartoon ed, edd, and eddy show when they have jawbreakers in their mouth; google it =); if you still can't picture it, think of the nutty professor about how his cheeks were huge cause he's fat - like that! but only his left side ). So he had his friend, which I call uncle (non-related) pick me up. That was about twenty minutes of waiting in the cold, but it was okay. To my surprise, his cheek was like big!! I felt
so bad. He can barely eat anything too. And this will take a few days for it to go back (it's still big at this moment). The way he talks changed as well. You can tell he's in pain just by talking. But I can't really pitty him now, can I? At around two in the morning, he woke up and went to my room cause I went out to eat; and boy his cheek were twice as huge as it was when
I saw it. It was rather scary. Anyway, around nine or ten, he asked me to take him to the store so we can buy him noodles cause he couldn't eat anything; his teeth can't handle any food that needs chewing. So we went to wal-mart and while I was there, I bought two boxes of cup of noodles, yogurts, chicken noodle soup. I didn't know what else to get him but
noodles. Why me? Cause he was embarrassed to show his face in front of the other shoppers. It felt like it was an emergency or something too so I tried to rush as much as I can. on the way home, we had to stop in the middle of the road cause he had to throw up. He was throwing up for about five minutes. He said all he ate was a banana, but he threw it up afterwards. Poor father.
Car Accident:
Wednesday morning(same day when I bought him food at wal-mart), I was going to walk again to work, but my dad came home at ten in the morning. His cheek was still huge from the surgery but it looked worse cause the blood I guess was like surrounding the swollen area. So he told me that someone hit the car; and I was like "What!?" There he told me that the back of the car got hit. On the way to wal-mart though, he told me the details. Apparently, the car that hit my dad's car was hit by another car in which made that car hit my dad. He didn't get the car's info though cause he was in a hurry for his appointment. Wish he did though.
His Condition:
My dad is getting better, but his cheek is still blown up. I just wonder when it will go back to normal. I can't stand seeing my dad in pain like that.
You're Hired:
Let's celebrate! I just turned in my application to work at the school. Currently I am working as a student worker and starting next semester, I will be working as an employee. I love that job. It's so laid back and now stressful. Well sometimes it is when it gets busy but most of the time it's slow and laid back. LOL. I can't wait to start working as an actual employee!
ACURE Organics:
"Acure for a cure. Acure for the planet. Acure for the skin." That's the logo for this particular skin care product that I'm currently using. This particular product is actually good for your skin as it uses mostly organics and natural ingredients. No chemicals whatsoever. How lovely is that?!! With every bottle purchased donates a dollar to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The bottles are recycled as well. So isn't that awesome? It's like killing three birds with one stone! It's a win-win situation either way.
What do I think of the product? I love it. The facial scrub is just awesome. I just use a little bit and it's enough for my face, same will all of the other products I have. When I wash my face with water after using the facial scrub, my skin feels so smooth and slippery. LOL. I haven't used it for a long time yet, but I gotta say, it feels good. I'm loving the results so far. I'm using the facial serum cause it says it's suppose to reduce scars and hyper pigmentation and blotchiness on your face. I must say, I like the results. I notice that they're lighting up bit by bit. So I can't wait til it's all gone. I mean I'm using it on my chest too, cause my hair does irritate my skin and face, so I get pimples from it a lot. Hair and hands are the most dirty part of the body. I just need to find a way to stop touching my face and have my hair away from my face and chest and back. =_= Darn those baby bangs!! LOL
Christmas Shopping:
I think I should start my Christmas shopping now! I tend to get lazy and forget things so I might now even do anything 'til last minute. I don't wanna procrastinate this year, especially since I'm making most of the presents myself. I'm making my mom scrubs for Christmas. Maybe I'll make her a Chargers one. LOL. Just kidding. I don't mind making my sister one though. I'm making everyone shorts and pants for sleeping for sure though. I just hope I get the right amount of fabric! Ahahha!! Maybe I should make them during the Thanksgiving weekend. Then again, I still need to clear up my room so I have some room to make them.
I shall post pictures when I finish making them. The scrubs will be difficult I'm sure!!!
