    HOW TO GET A GOOD PHOTO

    this one is especially for the girls





     
     
     
    OH COME ON!

    STOP EDITING ALL YOUR CAM-WHORE-ISH PHOTOS!!
    (blur, lighting, pimple corrector, mole removal, hair color edit, etc.; just to make yourself look like a magazine cover model or a post card cover model - YOU'RE NOT!).
    too much make up on (eg.: blusher is too thick, eyeshadow is too much, your foundation is too thick and it only covers your face while your neck is so dark), too much false and fake on your face (eg.: false lashes, extra eye-lined mole to make it 'sexy', your face skin is suddenly so white while your chest is damn black), (still, you are not a model, you ain't a barbie doll to play makeover with unless you are crazy - like me, who loves to 'experiment' make ups).
    too much posing, too many crazy or cool photo spot (you pose like a porn star at a bar counter), too much accessories on (eg.: heavy necklace, staked bangles - real models do this for magazine and you are not promoting Gucci or D&G accessories) (as i mentioned, you are not a model! let the professionals do their thing, and you should lay low!)
    so you should take a dirty picture of yourself - picking your nose - now that kind of picture people would give attention to, not for your "LIES"!
    "less is more..."
     
     
    please take this seriously, and i note this especially to those (girls especially) who loves to edit their photos and is a cam whore.
    STAY ORIGINAL :D
     
    but the picture attached up there was quite great though.

    The Beginning

      HELLO anonymous. I just started this somewhat 'lame' blog. I have no main purpose to do this blog. Consider I do this for fun. Yes I am doing this for fun. Something that I can do out of my boredom. In this blog I will put in random and crazy things. Something that hopefully would be nice to read. As I had mentioned, this blog is just for fun and for sure you would not get any good information like the latest news or information that can help you with any problems. I am not good with words so, let me stop here.
