- Taking Photos -

I realised that I am never good in the photos, one sentiment that almost surely, most of the women would have. Analyzing the mentality behind it, believe that it must have been due to the complex combination of inferiority in one's look and the strong desire to be that somebody you appreciate. Most of the times, I see myself as one of, if not, the worst in a group photo. Well, if not the most ugly, certainly one that blended in too well with the background. Eventhough, the first look at a group photo would bring my attention to the person, me.

I do think that there are people who are with confident, not inferiority, but who are still not satisfied with their outlook, what they are being projected as in the photos. Of course, there are those who just say it for the sake of not getting yourself into an image of being proud or over-confident. I guess this is maybe an Asian culture (if not, then maybe just Singapore culture?), to seldom say 'hey! I think I look grreat in this photo, oh gosh!.. I just looked so beautiful in that, don't you think so?...'

So, much of the discussion when flipping through recently taken group photos among friends will be 'aww.. look at my hair, what a mess! Doesn't it look like a nest when I stand beside you??.. 'God~! I look so fat in the photos!!!! (this exclaimation is suppose to last for the rest of the day.)'.. 'Hey you look great in this shirt, should have got the same one as yours'.. 'Gosh! Look at my awful face, don't really know how to smile in photos.' etc..

To say yourself looking bad in photos may mean another thing: I am beautiful, but not photogeneic.
Conclusion: **I will try to tell myself this eventhough it may not be the truth...** (hey, I said it MAY NOT be the truth okay...)
