canker sores, jigs, and today.

Last week, I just had the largest mouth sore I ever had. I think it’s the size of two sores combined into one to make a huge annoyance in your mouth. I decided to stop using a brand of toothpaste that’s too menthol-y and so, amazingly, the sore healed. Makes sense? Anyways…

This week, I had the good fortune of having another sore – canker type, lower lip, right side (inside the mouth, of course). I hate it because I can’t eat properly. I was munching my late dinner a while ago, when all of a sudden the sauce touched the sore! Gahd, you can’t imagine how much I wanted to get the knife and cut the sore out. I can’t even yawn without feeling its pain.

Aside from using the traditional tawas and the ever realiable Bactidol, I don’t know how to “cure” this thing. But ideally, it should heal within 7-10 days. So that means I still have to wait a little longer. I’ve also googled the causes of such sores. And guess what? Some experts say that [canker] sores are caused by immune system problems, bacteria, or viruses. Factors such as stress, trauma, allergies, cigarette smoking, and iron or other vitamin deficiencies may also be involved. The best thing about it: sores can recur again and again and again. Good life.

Remember the day I saw Jigs Mayuga? Want to know what happened days after? Well, here it is:

oh yeah! moment.

Earlier this day, I had fun and I got tired. I got stinky and got to lose my sanity temporarily. I went home and slept on the way; dropped my wallet and woke up just in time to pick it up. I slept on the couch with my bag on my lap; woke up to eat dinner by 11; visited the World behind the monitor; saw Sean sleeping and so I’m also going to sleep now.

‘Til the blades of the sun cut our skins, good night.
