13 - Bad Combination

"What was it like to get glasses or braces"

Have you ever worn braces before? How about glasses? How about both at the same time? Back in my high school days I wore them at the same time. It's one of the worst combination ever! I looked like a total nerd who'll never get a girlfriend. The humiliation I got at first was degrading but during the long run, people got used to it.

I got sidetracked a bit there, let's talk about what it feels like to have braces on first. For the first 3 days it's going to hurt like hell! It hurts so bad that you can't even talk properly. Not only that you can't even eat properly. The food you love eating, like chicken, bacon, freaking spaghetti, you're gonna have a really hard time eating them. The only food I ate was soup, I even had to drink it using a straw! It's that bad! Especially for me since my tooth was totally crooked. My teeth were alternating. Inside, out, inside, out, inside, out. It was literally ugly to look at. There's this weird feeling once you get braces on. Especially for the first time, it feels like you want to remove a really big debri in your mouth. Even after the 3 day agony, there's still the times where the rubber band holding the metal would suddenly snap. I had to spend a whole day wearing a broken brace. Also, I have a tip, don't eat really hard food. Like candy, popcorn, apple. Don't eat those as is. You have to grind them or something. Just make it less hard. Trust me, if you don't your gonna accidentally remove one of the brace from your mouth, and the feeling you get if that happens suck!

Glasses on the other hand are awesome! These puppies are a blessing for those with bad eyesight. Well duh, it's pretty self explanatory. Anyway, for those who never had to wear glasses, the feeling is like this. Imagine your watching a 240P video in youtube but the quality is much more suckier than that. Imagine that as your eyesight. Then once you put on your glasses in becomes 1080P. HD MOFO's! That's what it feels like! It's like being blessed a thousand times. The feeling is amazing! Seeing things in crystal clear and in high definition! It's like upgrading your small black and white TV to a full HD 1080P Plasma Screen TV!
