Diet Pills

Question!

What are your thoughts on diet pills?

First I will talk about the pill, how it works etc. if you want to skip this go to the bolded section.

My mom bought them for herself, but after she purchased them she found out that she couldn’t use them because she takes heart medication. So instead of putting them to waste, I decided to give them a try.

The diet pill I take is the Healthy Trim one.  It gives you a smaller appetite whilst making your metabolism higher/faster.  So I find that I eat constantly. I am always warm (putting on a sweat without any effort) and energized.

You have to take 2 pills in the morning and wait 2-3 hours before you eat.  And you are advised NOT to drink coffee (even decaf), tea (even decaf), chocolate, and anything with a sweetener (splenda, equal etc.) while on the pill. (lol, felt like I was talking about Birth Control for a second)

AND (this should be normal for other people, but I don’t drink water as much as I should) >.< you should drink the pills with at least 1-2 cups of water, and try to drink 64oz the whole day. (TMI, I peed like 8 times on the first day LOL)

Well my question is, what is your guys’ opinion on diet pills? Do you think they work? Are they safe? If given the opportunity would you take them?Etc. Just basically let me know what your overall opinion is! Don’t be shy!

But no hate please, there is no need to judge. If you personally have a problem with what I’m doing I apologize but to each their own.

Thank you!

I hate to admit this

but I really hope Glee does POTO justice (hear me out)

because… the first time I was introduced to Phantom, was through the 2004 movie. 

I’ve looked back at it, and I now realize why some people HATE it. 

But I can’t help but remember, that it introduced me to this wonderful thing called theater… it’s the reason why I’m in this fandom, and I’m not gonna lie, Phantom has changed my life. 

Hopefully, others will watch Glee… get interested in Phantom just like I did, and later on truly appreciate it just as I am now. 

I never truly appreciated musical theater until Phantom, and unfortunately I had to watch the movie before the seeing it live (and not until 6 years later!) and now I am just learning to appreciate people like JOJ, Ramin, Earl Carpenter, Hugh, Gina Beck etc.!

It’s just… There are some people like me who don’t have the luxury of watching and enjoying theater. Does that mean we can’t truly appreciate it just because we didn’t watch it on the stage first? And is it such a crime that we read the book after we watched the movie? It can’t be helped!

I just wish this fandom was a little more accepting/forgiving.

Let Glee do their rendition, whether it be heavenly or morbid. If, because of the first, we get more fans, then let’s welcome them with open arms and show them what Phantom is like on theater, let’s open up their minds and show them the power of this beautiful story!! Don’t shun them away because they’re ignorant!

And if people are turned off because of Glee then it’s too bad for them, because they will truly be missing out. It’s not like there aren’t people who have seen Phantom on stage and not liked it! (Though I’ve never met anyone who hasn’t hehe)

Let’s get rid of the hate!

Let’s have respect for one another, our opinions, and our humble beginnings!

Glee & Phantom DX

Okay… Here goes… If you’re reading this, please read UNTIL THE END.

To be honest with everyone, I love Glee. Period. And I really hate when people complain,

“Oh, I knew that song before it was on Glee!”

“It’s just like High School Musical” 

“Glee fucks up all the songs I like”

etc.

And although these things maybe true, it’s not like Glee clubs around the nation weren’t already doing these things! It’s just that, now it’s broadcasted on TV for everyone to see. 

What I love most about Glee is the story and the heart and spirit behind it.  I love that it broadcasts ideas about bullying, some real-life experiences, not just lovey dovey stuff. (And their trolling)

BUT I have to admit, when I heard the rumor of them doing a POTO song…

(I just so many emotions ok?)

I HAVE SO MANY MIXED EMOTIONS! I love Glee but YOU CAN’T HAVE PHANTOM YOU JUST CANT! 

I WON’T LET YOU! GOD DAMMIT! BUT I SECRETLY HOPE YOU DO IT WELL SO THAT I CAN STILL LOVE YOU! BUT IF YOU SCREW THIS UP I WILL SDKFBLASUDGFLIUASDLVBWPUGEFVASD!!!!!!!

They just. They can’t. I’m sorry but they can’t. They can’t have it. No. NO.

Take Wicked, take everything else! DON’T TOUCH PHANTOM!

My first drinking experience.

To start off, I just want to apologize to anyone who is offended by this, but just to let you know, I was with my mom and under full supervision lol.

So first off to start, I am 18 years old :) My mom is a social drinker and she drinks with her co-workers every week on friday just to get the stress out. What I find super awesome, is that my mom has very high tolerance, so she rarely gets drunk. She’ll get maybe tipsy, but not drunk.  It’ll probably take her… a good… I dunno I don’t count lol maybe 14 shots. So I was well prepared of what to expect. (Trust me, because I’m the one that has to clean up after everyone hah)

Now believe me when I say, that I was one of those teenagers that promised never to do drugs (Which I haven’t), never to smoke (still haven’t), never to drink UNDER the age of 21 (lawl) and have sex (and I haven’t). When my mom would drink I would just join in conversation, and have a chill time with her and her friends.

This summer, our family is planning on having a huge vacation :) on a cruise to Mexico! And on the ship, because I’m 18, I can gamble and drink!!! XD

Now, I’m more excited about the gambling heh. But I didn’t want to miss out on the drinking fun too! So… I decided to drink with my mom to “practice” lol. I honestly never wanted to drink. I always thought that it smelled and tasted nasty (it still does hahah) and I just didn’t want to, even if my mom offered me some.  But now that my family and I are going on vacation, and I want to take full advantage of my fun, I decided, ehh, why not just try it. It’s better than trying it on my own, or with friends, or with people I didn’t know. Plus, I didn’t know my own tolerance level. So I wouldn’t have known if after 2 shots I would go crazy, or after 10.

So, we went (or they rather lol) bought some good old Jose Cuervo Gold :)  and some chips and soda for chasers. We decided that I go first. Because I was a beginner, my first 4 shots were only filled half way.  But geez. That stuff tastes like SHIT. hahah! I remember for the first few shots, my eyes would water and I gagged haha. And right after I would take my soda and just down it LOL. And with each shot I would hesitate and prepare myself mentally for the nastiness hahah. But, by the 6th shot, the taste didn’t matter, heh it was still there and everything, but I just drank that shit. My face became really red, I felt hot (temp. wise hah), and I was just talking… a lot!! Usually you think before you talk, but it’s like with alcohol, you just say everything that’s on your mind! (For me that is, I mean everyone’s experience and reaction is different) I discovered that I was a laughing “drunk” (I wasn’t drunk haha) I became tipsy, but I still knew my surroundings, and what I was doing. And after 8 shots (more like 6 because the first 4 were half full) my mom told me to stop. hahah Which is funny because she wanted to see me drunk, but she didn’t know I could hold the drink so well! They were so concerned that I would throw up, especially when I would get off my chair, so they grabbed my pillows and blankets from my bed (which was the top bunk) and put them on the floor because they didn’t want me climbing up to me bed in my state hah. And Jesus I wouldn’t shut up!! I just kept talking and talking about what was on my mind and laughing randomly! It was crazy!!! But I was just so relaxed! It was a good feeling, like I didn’t have to think twice about what I said, I just said it! (Seriously you guys, you don’t know how good that feels)They put a bucket next to me and my mom told me not to move or else I’d throw up and feel nauseous. But I didn’t I moved around occasionally, and I didn’t feel nauseous at all! Which is weird because when sober, I get nauseous randomly, and I have really bad car/motion sickness. But I was totally fine. And when I woke up, I didn’t have a headache, and I didn’t throw up, and I ate a really big breakfast!!! It was amazing hahaha.

Now I wouldn’t drink occasionally and I have told myself that I would only drink on special occasions. But know at least I know I’m ready for Mexico :)
