A Little Bit Free
I made a new theme! It’s pink and girly and entitled Heavenly Princess! As usual, more information can be found here.
Well, the period of depression came and gone. It peaked on August 25, 2005. Thank goodness my hunbun was there to get me through. 
Well, I just resolved to try even harder. *sigh* I really hope I reach the Dean’s List cut off this semester…
Anyway, I finally got my braces off last August 27, 2005! Yay! But it felt really odd and weird when they were gone - like something’s missing from my teeth. I got my pink retainers that Tuesday. Yes, my retainers are in neon pink. *hehe* My dentist didn’t menton that I could get them in clear, so I just made the best out of it. Good thing it matches a lot of my stuff. 
I tried them on immediately and noticed that I spoke very differently with them on. I had a bad case of the lisp. Obviously, my hunbun and my friends poked fun at me. *hmph* And since I talk really fast, the retainers slurr my words together and make them really incomprehensible. Hopefully, sooner of later I’ll get the hang of speaking with retainers.
On August 29, 2005, we had no classes. It was quite good timing since Vassy and I got to spend a little girlfriend bonding time together. Hunbun drove us to Greenhills. Actually, hunbun and I just went to Greenhills the day before. *lol* The three of us ate lunch at Tender Bob’s. The food was absolutely delicious! We will definitely eat there again. 
Then, Vassy and I watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The movie was definitely made for girls! I don’t even remember seeing any guys inside the cinema. The plot was not too deep but it still made us cry. Afterwards, we went shopping and I bought myself a cute pink jacket. We also met Abigail there - what a coincidence! Vassy and I caught up on each other’s lives and boys. *lol* It was a really nice day.
Yesterday, September 2, 2005, hunbun and I went on a date. *awww* Actually, we went to Rockwell’s The Loft for a concert entitled “Encore”. Hunbun will get bonus points in his subjects for going to the concert. 
He bought a ticket for himself, signed the necessary papers, and stayed in the venue for about 2 minutes. I just accompanied him being the dutiful girlfriend I am. Then, we headed for Powerplant for some window-shopping and dinner. We ate at Kaya again - obviously, we don’t get tired of that restaurant. 
We got home really early, about 9pm. I decided to shoot two birds with one stone and watch Tatarin. It was an assigned movie for history class which I had to right a reaction paper about. It was an R18 film and very senseless, well for me. I so wouldn’t watch that again!
Today, I spent the whole morning doing the promotional materials for Celadon’s major food sale. And I spent this whole afternoon procrastinating. *hehe*

Omg, this is such a cute layout =D I love it to pieces.
Yayyy, braces are evil (as so I heard). You’ll get used to them in time, just like you got used to having them.
I still find it cute that you call your bf “hunbun” hehehe. Adorable!

Aww. I love this theme!
Very girly and sweet.
Yeah, it feel so odd having the braces off, huh? My friends who had braces before also told me about it. But hopefully you’ll be able to talk just the same way as before.
Gretch, THANK YOU so MUCH for the gift
I really really appreciate it. And true enough, it made my day.

Yea, it did feel super weird when my braces got taken out (nyak parang hinila lang, taken out. hehe) And RETAINERS SUCK! It sucks cos you hafta take it off when you eat. And I lost 4 retainers already. And everytime I would lose them, I waited weeks before I went to the dentist. So my teeth would get worse and worse. So of course the last retainers I got made (ung sinusuot ko ngayon) are shaped to fit the teeth that “used to be” perfect. It aint perfect now!!! I think I’m gonna get braces again. Kaso ang panget naman pag may braces. I want Veneers… You know a dentist who does veneers?
Your layout’s cute :) The smileys, too!

Loving the theme. Ang cute!
Tender Bob’s! I agree. Delicious talaga! Just thinking of it makes me hungry.
Buti ka pa nakapunta sa Encore. Nandun pa naman two of my fave bands. And Hale performed my fave song there at hindi ako nakapanood. Sad.

Heehee, you’re just so girly and sweet, aren’t you? Look at these stars and uhm, pink-ness!
Oh my, I don’t want to talk with a lisp! I find people who have a lisp so annoying. :T Maybe my braces won’t be off till a long time, though; my bottom row is very stubborn.
I remember somebody mentioning that their teeth felt slippery when they got their braces off. And that their teeth looked big. Do you agree? :)
