Picture Perfect

By steambunz - Friday, September 24, 2010

I happen to see a girl's facebook profile. And mostly 2/4 of her profile pictures are the same bloody post and the same bloody smile. If that's not worst enough, other of her pictures are only her-self photos. Chilakak (quoted by JunHao).

Almost everyone of us wants their picture taken to be picture perfect. Who doesn't, right?
I believe that we want to look nice in front of the camera and not look like a fool, unless for some.
Even with the slightest mistake, like, your picture taken with your eyes closed. You tend to "untagged" yourself from your facebook picture.


Perfect smile. Perfect posture. Perfect angle.
Even the camera man also must be perfect. (You don't want a noobie who doesn't know how to function a camera, right?)
Suitable lighting. Must not see pimples. Make sure don't blink an eye.


Yeah. I know how is it like to be picture perfect. I've been there once.
Almost every single facebook profile pictures that I've visit were nicely shot.

It's just hard to believe. When you see a person's personality and attitude, they may be nice and sweet in front of you. But, at your back, they backstab you like nobody's business.
Just like a picture. The picture may be nice and beautiful, but in reality, their attitude is worse then what you see in their picture. Like the saying goes,"A picture says a thousand words." But for this case, I think it's,"Seeing is believing."

It's just too good to be true. Their pictures are just too perfect. They are just too perfect, in pictures only.
But, when it comes to reality, they are totally different. A slut. A bitch. A bastard. A drug addict. If worst still, a brutal murderer.

When it comes to pictures, people wouldn't bother whether you look beautiful or pretty in pictures. It's the personality where people see in you. Now, that's beautiful. Beatiful in the outside and also the inside.
Not to say that unpretty people has to be good looking, but what shines in you is your personality. For beauty, Aiyah! Go plastic surgery then "gao dim jor lo" (everything is resolve!).


I'm not saying that I'm jealous because I can't be a picture perfect. My main point is, just be yourself, even if it's in front of the camera. You can lie and pretend of what you are not, but the only person you're lying to, is yourself.

Have fun and be creative!

"You don't have to be a picture perfect person, you're perfect enough as long as you're not lying to yourself in front of the camera."
