The Great Diente Mystery

I finally got rid of my earaches! I hope at least. The tooth has been taken care of, and I now have a silver tooth D:

So, for the past, I don't know how long, I have been trying to figure out where my Dentist's origins are.

He has one of the thickest accents ever [Well not so bad I guess, but you can tell he's foreign] and I have been puzzled trying to figure out from where.

Anyone else wouldn't care less about the matter, but knowing me, the matter is a thorn in my side.

I mean really. Who cares where their dentist is from?--Someone who is planning to major in Foreign languages and Linguistics, that's who.

So anyway, I have been putting 2 and 2 together, and this is what I got:

He is light skin.
Brown hair.
THICK ACCENT.
FORIEGN.

Ok, so these aren't the best, but they have something.

His dental assistant has the accent too.

More Facts!

He has an extremely hairy chest.. Gross, and that makes me think of Italy. How do I know about the chest? This guy is right in my face when he is digging for gold in my gum line all the time. How could you NOT see it?

I seriously thought he was from Greece for the longest time. [Not because of the hair of course.]

Then I thought maybe he was from a Spanish speaking country. Remember that Juan Franco thing? Well, this could have been the same case.

His last name is Scherer, so that was cancelled out.

What kind of last name is Scherer? Who knows!

I heard him talking on the phone again, and don't get me wrong, I am not an eavesdropper, I just heard him from my chair, and he talked in a way I definately couldn't understand. I figured it was a European language for sure.

It kinda reminded me about Pastel, and when he talks in Hungarian. Was he Hungarian? Do Hungarians have hairy chests? Lol Hope not ;)

Maybe not Hungary. It is impossible.

It wasn't until today where I got my biggest lead.

"I once worked with a Sri Lankan, and a Filippino."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, that was when I was living in Qatar."

Now this was the converstion between a dentist assistant, and my dentist. It was so weird because they were digging in my mouth talking about their past jobs.

It was the dental assistant who said this.. and then she said,

"I also worked with a lady from Romania," and then he got really intrested. "Really?" He said.

"Yeah! But she was so quiet. I thought to myself, 'she is nothing like the guy I know from back home!'"

So, he is from Romania.

Case Closed.

I think I want to go get me a cup of coffee.

Crackers!

Yum, I ate some delicious crackers today.

Can crackers be delicious?

So, I am so sore from Friday night. It was after the football game, and some friends and I decided to be stupid and race up and down the aisles of the Room. I don't think I could remember the last time I ran that fast. I was on the tips of my toes as I sprinted up and back down the rows. I wasn't exhausted either. It wasn't a hard sprint, but later I started to feel it.

Like today.

I didn't feel anything yesterday. Saturday. I think it was a nice day yesterday. I was at home, and I talked to Pastel for about 1987235060348572034 years.

But oooh, this morning.

I felt it.

I was so sore. I went to sleep on the floor by accident, and then I woke up in the middle of the night, and went to bed. When I got up this morning, my legs and abs, felt like they were bleeding.

OH the agony!

It was difficult to laugh, and I love to do that, so you know how it must have felt.

I went to Church today, of course, and I had a nice time. After, I went to 'Ryan's' with the family and a friend of the family. I ate some good food :D

When I got home, all I wanted to do was lay down. I think I looked pregnant again, because my stomach was sticking out so far. I thought it was going to explode.

PASTEL. Again. Today I learned my Hungarian numbers :D

Now I just have to memorize them :D

This week went by so fast! It is already Monday again. Then it will be next Monday. Then Christmas. You just wait. See? It is already October! Today is the last day of September.

Saturday, I felt so go about myself. I worked on my Spanish. I hadn't done that in a long time, so I decided to work some, and it was worth it.

"I HATE NATURE"

2 days.

In 2 days.

I will get the ultimate surgery. I don't think this is classified as a surgery though. But. NO MORE NIGHT PAIN! I can't wait.

All for free too!

I never though I would see the day.

CHECK out this video Peter found:

I think it's cute. Haha.

Man.

It is so late. I have to get up in like.. 4 hours. SUCKS.

New words!

"Siraly" Kinda like the old Kiraly..

"Szia" Like see ya in hungarian form.

Extra cool right?

Good News!

Gah, I feel so unorganized. One day away, and I feel like I burned my house down.

Everything is out of order!

Oh well, it is just going to have to stay like this. I have absolutely NO time to do that.

Camp is going to suck the time I had up. That is alright, because I get to be around people younger than me.

That always makes me feel good.

Haha.

I know I am not like 50 or anything, but sometimes I feel 100. With all this pain, and bone aches.. I'm too young for this I tell ya.

I feel like such a Hungarian! I am remembering better! At least I think so. Jeez.

Ez gagyi! I am going to be using that one a lot.

Today I learned:

"Gagyi" Gay, stupid, crappy.

"Stipi Stopi" (I think this one is funny) Shotgun.

"Korog a gyomrom" I think it means stomach growling?

I have good news:

I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to geico.

Kidding.

But seriously.. I have good news.

I got approved for the dental insurance, and they are going to cover all of my needed operations! I don't have to pay 800 dollars for each tooth! WOo!

Yeah, the only bad part about that, is that I need root canals. SUCKS.

I would rather go through that pain, than continue suffering with these bad teeth now.

Shooooot.

"Yaatte! Itsu ka yume no!" Ok ok ok, I am listening to this song. I still haven't decided what I want to put on yet. Hmm.. Japanese? English? Hungarian? <--What? Spanish?

Zsir

Gah,

I have to get ready for tomorrow, I won't have hardly any time to be home. I am going to be on the run from 7 in the morning to 7 at night.

I like being out though.

Today was so-so.

I didn't really have to take on anything hard, and the heat wasn't a killer.

Tonight I had extreme piano practice. I was sweating! LoL. It was only because it was hot in the room. :D

I took some time to work on the "Sky Theme." I haven't played that in a while, and I forgot a little of it. It's such a pretty song, yet so simple.

"Rush Hour 3" comes out in a week! I can't wait to see that.

I got another review from "Hairspray." It was good, they said. I am still contemplating on whether or not I want to see it.

Gymnastics tomorrow! I cannot believe this! It still feels like last Friday, when I was getting frustrated!

Man, this week has gone by fast.

NEW WORDS:

"Zsir" Fine; ok; good?

"Bogre" Cup

My little Hungarian!

I ate one of the best salads in the world today; one made by me.

Actually, this one doesn't look so good, but I make others :D (Psst.. that is chicken.. not anything else!)

Remember those ants I got attacked by a few weeks ago? THEY CAME BACK! For revenge! No kidding! They were all over the place. No wonder those mysterious bites on my legs came up! (Bite on the butt, Lol Peter!)

Seriously, they were worst than ever before. They were all over everything! I had to spray!

I was worried because some were all over my clean clothes.

And some other garments.

I felt some ants on my arm under my shirt on my way to Brazoria tonight; that made me EXTRA worried.

Sunmilk

Yet, another sleepless night because of that wretched tooth of mine. I went to sleep late, AS USUAL, and woke up merely an hour later with that nasty toothache. I took an Alieve and went back to sleep. I can't stand loosing sleep over this. It is becoming more frequent too.

We planned to have our track session at 6 today, since yesterday, it was so crowded. We ended up leaving at the exact same time we left yesterday. What a waste getting up that early.

No work tomorrow. I just found out it is going to be raining again! Jeez, I hate this. Some people might even me because on some days I work, and on others I don't but I don't like it because you know what no work means.. No money. No tengo dinero ahora mismo. Which is really SAD.

So like you know, I stayed home today, and slept a little bit. I was so tired because I didn't get that much sleep last night. But then again, what's new?

My house is so dirty, and the laundry isn't done. I am going to go do some clothes in a few minutes: that means, washing, folding, drying, and putting away. All those clothes are piling up in my bathroom! I'm telling you, the Summer can make you pretty lazy. Notice I said YOU, and not me, because I am lazy 24/7.

I talked with my friend Peter a long time today. It was so funny because he got an all-over sunburn, and where he is from, they call sunscreen sun-milk.

I thought that was the funniest thing.

He was telling me how he put on his sun milk. It sounds a little funky to me.

In the mist of our conversation, I asked him if he wanted to learn some Spanish. He already knows some, and I thought he would've like to know some more. I ended up giving him a beginner's lesson! I don't think either one of us intended for it to be that long.

Later, I asked him If I could learn some Hungarian. (He's originally from Hungary.) So he taught me some things. I never thought one day I would learn Hungarian! I like it.. it reminds me of Russian, and I have always wanted to learn that for some weird reason.

Here's some Hungarian Pronunciation:

g is always hard as in 'gun', never soft as in 'gem'
r is rolled off the tongue, though not really trilled
t is pronounced with the tongue touching the back of the teeth (dental)

c is pronounced like the ts in 'bats'

cs is the English ch as in 'check'

gy is one sound pronounced like dy, or the d in 'adulation'

j, ly are both pronounced as y like 'yes'

ny is pronounced like the Spanish ñ and like the ni in the English word 'onion'

s Be careful! This is always pronounced like sh as in 'shun' and 'ship'

sz like a regular English s as in 'sell', never pronounced as a z like 'rose'

ty a soft t sound, pronounced much as it looks; say 'at your' fast

zs like the s in 'pleasure'

The letters q, w, x, y are not Hungarian and appear only in foreign words or in some family names. The English sound /j/ as in 'jet' appears in foreign words and is spelled dzs in Hungarian.

Note: Double consonants are pronounced long, like the final and initial /k/ sound in 'book-case'. When a double consonant occurs at the end of a word, try to linger on the sound slightly. With consonants like gy, ny, ty, sz etc. only the first letter of the cluster is doubled (ssz, ggy, etc.)

a hard to describe, but rather like the sound in 'awe' and the British 'hot'

á a very open sound, between the a in 'matter' and the a in (American) 'father'

e the sound in 'set' and 'bed'

é Like the sound in 'way' but with the back of the tongue higher in the mouth

i not quite as short as the sound in 'sit', more like the short ee in 'feet' and 'meet'

í a long ee as in 'feed' and 'bleed'

o like the sound in 'stole' and 'sold'

ó a long o, as in 'rogue' and 'rode'

u a short oo as in 'boot'

ú a long oo as in 'food' and 'cool'

ö as in German ö, say French 'peu' and 'le'

o" a longer version of ö, like German 'schön' (Note: o" really looks like an o with a quotation mark or double acute accent on top, but is represented here with a quote next to it)

ü like German ü and French u as in 'début'. English speakers, round lips as if to say o but say ee

u" a longer version of ü (Note: like o", written with double accent on top, but represented here with a quote next to it)

Wow, I watched that movie "Final Destination 2." I've never seen any of those. They are ok. A little weird I'd say. What's the point of killing off all the characters? Whoops! Did I just say that? My bad. Don't read if you haven't seen it! I think that warning was a little late. Well, that is the only movie I watched today. Surprising isn't it? I know.

Tropical Tango

Ahh, man.

I got up at the usual 6:50, and I lasted all day! That never happens!

I went to sleep at around 1 a.m.

Last night was another one of those nights. Weird toothaches at 4 a.m. You know, I am really getting tired of this. I woke up in the middle of a dream again. This time I was doing Kung Fu. Maybe it was from all those movies I watched last week. Anyway, it is becoming a real bother because they might start to become uncontrollable, and then that is when a doctor/dentist (which ever happens first) gets involved. Remember the heart problems? Yeah.



What were the contents of today?

To tell you the truth I can't remember. Is that bad? Maybe that has something to do with the fact that I didn't get enough sleep as usual.

I did get a nice morning exercise and breakfast like always. HIPPO TIME! Yes, and I remembered the camera this time, so you can see.




I even took a picture of the smoothie, but I was almost finished. It was a "Tropical Tango." It was good, as usual.

I did a little language exploring today. That was only because a friend (Peter) asked me to learn some Hungarian.

Now, Hungarian is little bit far away from what I am used to, but you know me, I am not afraid to take any challenge.

I learned one thing. Ok, I learned and REMEBERED one thing. "Köszönöm" which means Thank you in Hungarian. It is easy to prounouce. "KA" as in "Call" "SZO" is pronounced like the "sa" in "SAW." Then lastly, the "NOM" is the same as in "VietNAM" Simple. Long story short, the O's sond like long a's.
