mirror self-portraitExcuse me while I indulge myself with… myself.  Ha ha ha.  Yeah, to your left is me in a standard mirror self-portrait that is not uncommon to many female-owned Multiply accounts.  It’s only second in popularity to the one-handed self-portrait, which I have never been able to master, hence I will not showcase my attempts at that here.

But please, let me bask in a little self-importance for now.  One of the perks of being in the Editorial Board is that I get to do test shots with different photography studios for our graduation pictures.  Imagine getting all dolled up and whoring in front of professional photographers for free. Teeheehee.   It’s a relief to know that, with a thick layer of well-applied cosmetics, it is possible to capture a decent picture of me.  And I don’t look half-bad.  Ha ha ha.

Oh shit.  You see, whenever the opportunity for me to be all made up and pretty strikes, I suddenly transform into some girly girl.  I go through bouts of vanity, where I obsess over how I look and go wild on the beauty products, then I get tired because it’s way too much work to try to look good everyday for no one’s benefit but mine. Hahaha.  I’m going through that phase again, thanks to the test shots and the Artistry gift pack I received on the opening night of the Philippine Fashion Week.  I’ve been reading up on make-up and even started using the toner and moisturizer that’s been sitting untouched on my bathroom shelf since Christmas.  Haha.  Really, I almost never care about what I look like but I can’t deny the value of taking care of myself and the handsome payoffs it could bring.  Still, like I said, it’s hard to be consistently vain.  Actually I have a hard time being consistent about everything so yeah. Haha.

Oh well.  I guess this is just my way of coping.  I still refuse to think about school and how I lack 3 more units and how those 3 units have to be PI 100.  Among other things.  Lather up!
