One Hundred Sixty-Three

Throwbacks like this one... make me want to relive my high school years.

I saw Taking Woodstock today with Ivonne (Megan's mom)

the movie was pretty dope

Makes me want to go back even farther than my high school days

and live in the 70's

One Hundred Sixty-Two

Ok I have no picture yet

I'm still in bed and I haven't done anything

but what I am going to write about now is about a conversation

I had with my grandpa on thursday

I forgot to mention it (which I don't know how I forgot it was a tough subject)

Any who he said how he will not be attending my graduation because

May is the month that his lease is up on the apartment

and so he has to do things over there.. I tried to convince him to just come for

a weekend but he said he wouldn't do that

That really pissed me off because if it were to be another grandchild besides my brother

he would have come

Then what really pushed my button was how he under-graded my profession

He said and I will quote

"you are already busting a sweat studying.. minus well become a dentist."

This could be the biggest insult I can ever take.

First of all yes, when I was younger I did want to become a dentist

but as the months of studying keep passing by, I am more aware of the differences

between these two professions.

Although they both work hand in hand, they both have different views on their patients.

A hygienist role with a patient is to educate them and make them aware that their mouth is the gateway to health issues. If you don't take care of your mouth, you run the risks of having diseases. Research says how cardiovascular, diabetes, and low-weight birth babies have correlated with oral health.

We not only educate patients but we strive to aid in oral hygiene. This consist of your gums and teeth.

Dentist on the other hand, work to fix your teeth when the disease has already impacted you. For instance, when you get a cavity, you have a cavity. This cavity will not leave unless you drill it out and cover it with some resin composite. When you have abscess on a tooth. That infection is not going to leave unless you do a endodontic treatment.

Dentists are the Mr. Fix it as Dental hygienist are the preventative measures before you have to fix it. Yes we also fix your gums and help your teeth from not falling off but everything we do is so that you won't have to see the dentist. If you were to see a dental hygienist every 6 months or 3 depending on your perio evaluation, you won't have to see a dentist ever. Unless you have some hereditary condition that no matter what you do you get cavities.

This leads me back to the conversation with my grandfather.

I love what I do and I wouldn't trade it in for anything. We get paid good, and there are a lot of opportunities for us. Why the heck does my grandpa need to put me down and tell me that what I am doing isn't good enough?? Would you tell a student who wants to become a teacher to switch and study to become a Principal? So why would you tell someone that's studying to be a dental hygienist to become a dentist? They are very different. Yes they get paid much more than a dental hygienist. But so do principals vs. teachers.

I hate critics. Who are you to tell me what to do? It's my life and I do what I want with it. If I want to be a stripper and enjoy every minute of it, who are you to tell me I shouldn't?

And you can't attend my graduation because you have a lease to settle? Ok so then when Danny becomes a doctor you will attend his graduation. I hate getting compared to people.

Whatever this was my little issue

and I hope whoever reads this will never talk down to someone

about whatever future plan they have.

So this was at 3:22 am

we still had a lot of carsss

and no one was coming to claim them

so then when the show decided to come to an end

all the fags decided to leave

and of course complain that it was taking for ever.

I need a break from this already

I worked very hard tonight.

One Hundred Sixty-One

Sushi once again..

this time I was accompanied by the daddydukes

and Miss Jessica

we had some Saki Bombs

and let me tell you they are silent creepers

Then later we went to vagabond

I was supposed to go to round up

but my Broward crew decided to sell out

my cousin decided to get her period also

there were too many people selling out

so we decided not to waste gas and go so far

I've never been to vagabond

it had a nice atmosphere.

lots of cute boys to pick and choose from

although I had my eyes on a particular one

I was gonna tell him something..

I went to the bathroom and got out

and I did not see him no more.

YES I was pretty tipsy

lol

I haven't felt this liberal in a while

I'm falling in love with myself again

and it feels awesome.

One Hundred Sixty

Ok so I am very upset.

Today was one of the worst days I've ever had.

I guess the more I thought I about it the more

bad stuff came up.

First I would like to explain that this is not the photo

I wanted to post.

I took pictures of

Monchi and Trixie

YES!

the pitbull that used to play with him

when she was 3 months.

Now she is huge.

I took an awesome pic of her

but with my old phone.

I received my new phone today

which I fell in love with.

But when I activated it I forgot to send the photos

to my email

AH!

I was too busy watching Jordi

on Telemundo.

lol he is too cute.

He was the MVP of the season

so he got interviewed.

They asked him what he wanted to do in the future

and he answered (in perfect spanish)

I want to play in a university

or a major league

and eventually

...

the Yankees.

That is my mother FLIPPING cousin!

=DD

he was just too cute!

Whatever... tomorrow is going to be a better day

This one just needs to end.

One Hundred Fifty-Nine

Everyone meet my brother.

I don't think I've given you guys a proper introduction

but he can be a real pain in the butt sometimes

so I don't like talking about him

Today we went to a funeral

Yes this is the bad news from yesterday

Gloria past on.

It's shocking how it was just so fast.

I mean Ciro might not see it that way

because he was not only her husband

but her caregiver.

The cancer defeated her 7 months after her diagnosis.

I thought she was going to beat this.

But it just spread.

She was already in a lot of pain.

At least now she can finally rest in peace.

She will forever be missed.

Her and her beauty tips she always had to share.

Whether it was about straightening your hair

or hiding a blemish on your face.

She never bore children

but she was the perfect mother.

I will keep a special place for her in my heart.

I love you Gloria

RIP

Amanda Gloria Santana
