Extreme Alex Puking

Not many movies come along that really change my point of view or move me emotionally at all. Most are just a good two hours of entertainment...like this Extreme Alex movie! Seriously, have you seen this chick yet? Her site is great, full of gagging movies, puke pics and she is friends with the infamous Extreme Holly. Anyway...
This all changed yesterday. I had been following the story of Morgan Spurlock, a man who set out to make a documentary on fast food and it's effects. To truely test everything out, he decided he would go on an all McDonald's diet for 30 days. That's right...nothing but McDonalds food breakfast, lunch and dinner. This just sounded like a bad idea from the start, but noone really knew how bad until he did it. Extreme Alex hardcore movies, she gags, pukes, pisses... she does it all.
The movie starts out with a basic background, the premise and some interviews. Before getting started, Morgan gets checked out by 3 doctors and a nutritionist. He gets a glowing bill of health and is found to be in excellent shape. These doctors track his progress the whole way for both data collection and safety reasons.
There are some basic ground rules involved. First, he cannot eat or drink anything that he didn't buy at McDonalds. This includes water, which he occassionally gets bottles of. Second, he will only super size his meals if asked to do so by the McDonalds employee.
With everything set, he was on his way. The second meal he orders is a good indicator of things to come. After ordering a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese Combo which was Super Sized, Morgan quickly discovers that he is not capable of eating this enormous quantity of food. He gets it all down and 20 minutes later it all comes back up! Lovely shots of the yack afterwards by the way, sure to win a cinematography award of some kind.
After 1 week, he goes in for blood tests and gets weighed. In a mere 7 days on his new diet, Morgan gains 10 lbs!!! That's right...10! The doctors were just as astonished and checked the scale...it wasn't wrong. By the two week point, Morgan gets some disturbing news. His chloresteral has risen for 165 to an alarming 219!! He is also showing enzymes from the liver in his blood, a sign of liver damage! This is after two weeks of McDonalds.
From here on you can see some very negative effects on Morgan. He is having depression, weight gain, exhaustion and showing signs of strong food addiction in the form of headaches and disorientation when he didn't have the food. He was also craving it when he wasn't even hungry. To me this was all very alarming and at the same time, I could identify with his feelings.
He makes it the full 4 weeks, but with huge health concerns and massive weight gain. This movie is full of alarming facts about nutrition, the U.S. epidemic of obesity and the shady marketing techniques of the Fast Food industry. Especially where kids are concerned.
I beg you to go out and see this movie...it will change your whole point of view on fast food! As corny as it sounds, it has moved me to stop eating fast food all together, including drinking Coke! I might fail, but I sure as hell am going to give it a shot. Don't wait, get off you couch and go see this flick!

Cuckold movies and cuckold pics...FREE!

I miss him a little bit from Jasmine Tame cuckold.
I know he miss me too. Anyway, both of us are playing our part quite well indeed. Enough of that. Let me move on. Alhamdulilah. Dah nak seminggu kita berpuasa. Funny. I’m usually very excited during the Ramadhan coz I’ll be busy performing terawih, preparing biscuits/kueh at home, cooking dishes or helping my mom/dad to clean up the house. But, on the first day of Hari Raya itself, I’m usually very sad. My thoughts are normally with my friends or people whom I once knew that are no longer here. Thus, you can never see me laugh on the day of Hari Raya itself. It’s always tears & sorrow. Sadly, with each passing year, the pain in my heart deepens cuckold movies. I miss them even more each year. Their smiles, the creases around their eyes, the warmth of their friendship. I will never forget you guys. My thoughts are with you always. Surah Yassin is my best companion nowadays. I read it everyday… for myself, my family, my friends (alive or dead). I pray that you guys are “well” Jasmine Tame on the other side. I’m preparing myself here… so that I can join you in the future. Take care, my friends.

Okay. Back to reality. I was standing around Raffles Place last night with a bottle of Evian and a box of Marlboro. I was waiting for my dad's call to inform me once the azan dah berkumandang. Suddenly, 3 Malay Mats (who was standing in front of me for the past five minutes) lighted up their ciggies. My Chinese friend said to me: “Eh. You can break your fast already right. Maybe your dad forget to call you. Anyway, the Malay guys are smoking already.” I shook my head and smiled to my friend. Two minutes later, my dad called: “Pegik buka! Dah azan!” I took a long sip of Evian, ate 2 dates (my mom packed them for me in the morning) and lighted a ciggie. I, Jasmine Tame, wonder how some people can spoil the beauty of Ramadhan. I usually turn my head away whenever I see Malays eating/drinking/smoking in public during Ramadhan. Buat apa nak hina/kutuk dorang kan. Puasa ni kan “persembahan suci” kita khas buat Allah. Kalau dorang tak nak puasa, tu dorang nyer pasal. Kita buat hal kita. Kuatkan semangat dan iman. Jangan mengumpat.Tengok bende baik2. Banyakkan zikir/ taubat.

I must admit that as a smoker, fasting is extra hard for me. I guess most smokers will agree with me. But, I think once you get the hang of it, it’s not much of a problem (although my lips trembled miserably for nicotine on the first day of Ramadhan). Firstly, you have to be serious about your “niat” and secondly don’t buy ciggies until it’s time to break fast. And thirdly, focus on the main purpose of Ramadhan and think of God always. Eh... Aku cakap ni macam ye-ye eh.
