Happy I Used To Wear Braces / myLot

April 4, 2016 10:24am CST

When I was a young girl I had crooked teeth and a crooked smile. So I begged my dad, "dad please get me braces for my birthday. I promise not to ask anything for Christmas and New Year if I get them." That day my dad took me to the dentist and got me braces. I was so happy. Then I realised that braces were painful. So the girl who loves to eat and had a voracious appetite stopped eating for two months. Until she got used to it. After 2 years it was time to say good bye to the fences that guarded my teeth. And now I smile my bestest smile thanking my dad for spending too much for my pearly whites. And those painful wires that hugged my teeth to perfection.

Yes back then it was expensive in the Philippines. It's around 30,000 pesos. That's a big money. I reckon it's even more expensive these days.

Definitely a good investment. I am being teased by my siblings that I'm my parents' greatest investment. Not only with braces but also in terms of studying and being overseas. I hope I'll make them proud.
