After twenty plus years, I'm wearing retainers for the first time. Long overdue actually but I still think I jumped into the retainer thing quite quickly. I went to the dentist last Wednesday for a simple cleaning and I walked out with two extracted molars and an appointment next week (today) for my retainers.

Got them late this afternoon and I feel like a school girl with wires in my mouth! Awkward, uncomfortable, and really annoying. Now I know how you feel Chong. 

I tried eating a piece of bread while wearing them and it was a complete disaster. When I started chewing, it felt like I was chewing the retainers, too! They were completely intact but it sure felt like they got out of place and the bread I was eating automatically found their way underneath the retainers. The good dentist said I should not remove them today so how's a girl gonna eat? Soup it is. Soup the entire day!

Knorr (knerr, according to Jamie) mushroom soup!

Lunch, Antonio style! Garlic longganisa, tinapa, toasted garlic, vinegar and garlic dip, bangus steak
