How's 2024 treating you so far? 😁 Well, for me, the new year is spontaneously great. I hope it will stay that way! 😊 Let me share with you my visit to my dentist and a little errand to the mall.
Enjoy~
I want to start 2024 with my yearly dentist visit. I know some personally who neglect and intentionally do not like their teeth to get checked up because they are scared of the tools. 😆
In the long run, you can save much more money because your dentist can fix your teeth before they get unfixable, which requires more money. I think good teeth and proper oral hygiene make you confident! 😊
I waited for at least 15 minutes before my dentist arrived. The waiting room was fully air-conditioned and I was starting to get sleepy just feeling the cold air in my face. 🥱 Good thing I have my phone that keeps me awake. After an hour, I got my teeth professionally cleaned and the dentist fixed some fillings. I also had an x-ray done for further monitoring of my wisdom teeth. yikes.🥲
Next is visiting the hair salon. My usual hairstylist is fully booked, so I opted for another salon just next door. David's Salon is popular here in the Philippines, but I feel like they are outdated with their techniques and tools. My mom always comes here and her friends are suki (regular customers).
The salon was also fully booked and I have not eaten yet for lunch. It is already 4 pm and my tummy cannot wait any longer. I canceled my booking and will just come back next week to fix my hair. I just want a trim and a cellophane treatment.
I was craving something cold and sweet, so an ice cream or frozen yogurt is a perfect treat. My gums were a bit throbbing, like a little beating, from cleaning so this was soothing for my gums, and a treat to myself too! 😁✨
I had a meet-up with some friends, so while I waited for them, I had to get my dessert in Llaollao, one of my favorite dessert stores. 😋 They mainly offer frozen yogurt. And hey, yogurt is good for your digestive system, so I am getting a healthy treat while feeling less guilty. 🥳 Honestly, 4 USD is a lot for a medium-sized dessert in the Philippines. So maybe I can get this once in a while. Better yet make it at home. (The frugal me is coming out😆)
I got a bigger size this time than the usual cup that I ordered. This comes with three toppings of choice. I got dragon fruit, almonds, and the sweet brown sauce that I forgot the name. 😆
I have to take a nice picture for the blog before destruction! 😋
The frozen yogurt is super thick and creamy as always. The almonds were diced and coated with sugar, like a candied type. It has roasty and savory taste to it. The dragon fruit is just so-so, nothing special at all. The brown sauce is too sweet for my liking. I don't know what's in there but I will never pick that again. 😆
I had a little chit-chat with my friends while scooping my dessert little by little. I took a third portion of the yogurt and mixed it with the fruit and almond. I guess it is a balanced partition of the elements. 😋
Oh, hello!✨🎆
Kids love to stand on the podium while their parents take pictures of them. I waited for people to leave to take a picture of the backdrop. I'm surprised there's no line of people. Maybe they got used to it already. 😅
Not a lot of grocery shoppers, eh? Well, the holiday is over, so time to cut our expenses for a while. 😆 I also have to look for food storage that my mom asked me for. Not sure why, but I have the feeling that she's going to throw the old ones. New year, new tubs? 😅
I found these Japan-made tubs, but I think it is not food-grade. I do not have the kitchen knowledge that my mom has, so I have to skip buying these for now. I don't like wasting money on things that I do not understand.
Almost 6 pm and I have to go home now. The malls still have their Christmas decorations up. This red reindeer is a striking one. I wonder when they will take these out.
It was a long day for me, but I had fun! ✨😊💖
That is it for this blog. Thanks for reading~ 💖
