I Talk, Not Write.

highly literary, with occasional grammar slips

growing up... argh don't remind me
taking passport photos doesn't agree with me at all.

i have always had troubles taking decent passport pictures. i always end up looking, in the words of the teenagers, noob. i think i just don't have the talent.

9yr-old; it's okay if you don't recognize me

11yr-old; centre parting, unkempt hair and battling obesity
(and a passport photo totally accentuates every single bit)

13yr-old; i look like a disaster during my puberscent years,
it's just downright vulgar looking at this picture now!

15yr-old; this picture is so awkward and i looked like i slapped gel on my stale hair
i always thought i have a pained look in this photo.

16yr-old; i found the spunk! but my mom told me i have this "half-closed" eyes
which is a little cunning looking and slitty argh!

17yr-old; i liked this look totally but this passport picture has
drew contrasting comments from different people. now i don't know how to feel for it.

19yr-old; i used up all of this picture thank God! i look so old and mature
in this passport photo my friend thought she was looking at my mom when i showed her!

2oyr-old; i had to take a passport photo (yes, with my hair tucked back and fringe up!)
and they say i look like i am in mommy's-league! WHY?!

whoever can take decent passport photos?! i mean, who can look hot and pretty when you are so embarrassed and awkward sitting in front of the salesgirl (who is probably puberscent and irritated because it is only a part-time job)? you don't know where to put your hands and you don't know whether you should smile. it's worse when you have to convince yourself that you should look happy. passport photos should never exist. we should all just be identified by our fingerprints!

let my "mommy-face" stick with me for the next 5 years. oh let me dwell in my misery!!
