Two Doctors

 It is my grocery day.  But first, would be visiting two (types of) doctors.

First stop is at the Makati Dog and Cat Hospital to visit Theo who just had a recent operation.  Theo is no longer in dextrose, and he is so excited to go home.  Was able to meet his veterinarian.  Theo's wound is still inflamed but he is already eating food.  Hope it heals quickly so he can go home by Tuesday.  His last operation took him eleven (11) days to heal.  Threw some questions to the doctor regarding Theo's diet.  Will have to wait for the analysis of the crystals obtained from him.

Next stop is at the Catipon Dental Clinic for my check-up.  It is a husband and wife team who runs the clinic.  The wife is my dentist.  Every time I go there, there are a lot of takeaways.  Here goes...

• Whenever possible, put your tongue in a rest position.  The tongue touching the upper palate, the upper and lower teeth slightly apart, and your mouth closed.  This relaxes the muscles around your mouth, avoiding biting hard, impacting your teeth.
• Breathing exercise so your body "memorizes" to always breathe using your nose. 
• Close one nostril. Breathe in and breath out from same nostril.
• Do the same to the other nostril.
• Close one nostril.  Breathe in.  Release and close the other nostril.  Breathe out.
• Do the same to the other nostril.
• Breathe in through the mouth slowly counting up to eight.  Hold your breathe for eight seconds. Breath out through the mouth slowly counting up to eight.
• While we are sleeping, our saliva does not excrete much.  If we breathe through our mouth, it causes our mouth to dry and may accumulate bacteria. Thus, the practice of putting your tongue in a rest position.
• When you eat any snacks, coffee, tea, etc., finish it in 30 minutes.  Then, gargle with water.  Brush teeth, if needed.
• After brushing your teeth at night, wipe a small amount of toothpaste on your teeth.

Then, went to The Landmark supermarket to buy some groceries.  Since there is a relatively few customers (a short queue in the cashier), there is still time for me to attend the 12:15 PM Saturday Mass at Greenbelt Chapel.  Today is the memorial of San Lorenzo Ruiz and his companions, martyrs.  San Lorenzo Ruiz is the first Filipino saint.

My late lunch is at Fiery Style at Glorietta 4.  Then, went to Watson's inside SM Makati to buy Fern-C, which is not available at The Landmark supermarket at the moment.

Had a mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, starting my post in my blog--maximizing my Chromebook.  LOL

Walked to The Landmark where I continued with my blog at The Landmark food center, thanks to their seats and tables.

An hour before the anticipated Mass, went back to Greenbelt Chapel where I was able to pray the Divine Mercy chaplet and the Rosary before the anticipated Mass.

Then, proceeded home.
