23 trying to be 13

DANGER!

Self-entertaining post ahead!

No one knows why I took those act-cute self-disgusted photos I posted in my previous entry.

Nevermind, tell you now.

Here's a couple of thing I noticed from those 13-17 years old teenage girls friendster profile.

They love:

- calling themselves Baby, Princess, Kawaii or Angel something and etc etc etc.
- to use weird ASCII texts.
- short forms as usual.
- to type in point form.
- to upload 50 photos of themselves with the bulging big round eyes and the pouty lips, the only difference is the angels.

I . just . don't . get . it.

So, this is me... trying to understand what are they thinking.

23 trying to be 13.

First attempt - Posing

Man, this is not easy you know, at least not for me.

You wouldn't believe if I told you that I actually browse thru a lot of profile trying to imitate their pose, their eyes and the lips.

I showed Bobby the whole 'collection' of me trying to flirt with the camera. He laughed. It was certainly a disaster for the first 10 - 15 shots. I look like I'm having 顏面神經失調 (facial expression disorder?) 。


Can someone tell me
why girls love to have emo pose?


I always have this question, who will have the mood to take pictures of themselves when feeling all down and gloomy?


Think.

You take the camera, face yourself, pose all emo (look down, look away with hairs covering at least 30% of your face, normally B&W or sepia mode) and *ka-cak*, you snap.

Then you quickly change the dial of your digicam from "Camera" to "Play" mode to check out the photos you took.

What the?

All the FAKE emo!




And these... the cacat (handicap) peace sign (as below).

Do you know that this sign actually means up yours in UK?

(Told by a friend)



And of course, where can left out self portrait using the mirror taking pictures of the full length body (showing off the curves)?



Second Attempt - Cyber kawaii language

Forget all the grammar and spellings you learn in school. It's out.

The 'in' thing is using short forms with symbols and combination of upper and lowercase.


Like this:

[Edit: I copy & paste from somewhere.)

What The Fish?

That someone's hobbies must be collecting friends and testimonials, have multiple friendster account and shout KAWAII in (fake) astonishment upon seeing every single thing...

And...I wonder how does her English teacher feels while reading these..


Did you guys noticed, instead of the real age, those little girls love to put their favourite numbers like 86, 77 and so on.

And I can say, almost 99% of them LOVES PINK!

*singing*

All the young girls love pink now
E-A-E-A-O
All the things they have is Pink
E-A-E-A-O
And a pink pink here.
And pink pink there.
pink here pink there pink pink pink pink EVERYWHERE!
All the young girls love pink now
E-A-E-A-O

I can almost hear this everytime I walked in some gift shops,
"Eeeeeeeee! Pink! Kawaii! So Kiut!"

Apalah, is PINK the only "cute" color?
I think green is nice, blue is fine and I like black.
Does that make me an un-cute person?

(But I have nothing against them who loves PINK to bits. At least I know I won't have the courage to shout that out loud)



Lastly, something for you to laugh...

I tried taking pictures of myself winking.

God, I never know it's so hard! Look how cacat it turns out.

Damn cacat and ugly!

Ermm... I think it's because I have really tiny eyes.

So tips for those out there who has small eyes like me,
DON'T WINK!

Else you'll end up like the idiot above who looks like having some physical disabilities.





p/s: There won't be any more self-taking-gross pictures of myself in the near future. Not till I forget about the experience of camwhoring.

p/p/s: Errr...... No hard feelings for those young teens ya. It is just a rant from an old hag nagging. Nothing personal.



I don't feel any younger for doing this anyway.

I love the 23 years old me more than me acting all 13.
