Pa-cute Pictures

I have a very low self-confidence. It’s just me getting myself all worked up over something superficial. I think I’m ugly. I feel I’m ugly. Heck, I am ugly. And fat. And even more unluckily, I got infected with chickenpox late last year.

That said, I’m really uncomfortable having my picture taken by anyone. I mean, talk about captured ugliness. But hey, I have such a photogenic face :rolleyes: (forget the body) that I’ve decided to quit being a hypocrite and follow my own website tips and tricks. :boogie:

First Step: Strike pa-cute poses, take a gazillion photos of yourself, then post them on your website.

Pa-cute pose tres
Wa epek

Errrr…I hate it when I smile widely. My eyes become slits. But I like scrunching up my big nose like that. Makes me feel uglier. A true rakshasi.

Pa-angel effect

Awww…Look at me. I seem so kind in that picture. Actually, I was gloating over the cockroach I squished. Thus the sweet, serene smile. :tongue:

Pa-cute pose uno
Dramatic effect kuno

I don’t think the “drama” works, but whatever. Just don’t look at my chest. Please. Touch only. :lol:

Second Step: Whine how ugly you are so others would have no choice but to disagree with you.

Wah! I’m so so so soooooooooo ugly! :cry: Look at the grotesque features of that ugly ugly face! Omigulay! I’m really hideous, right?! :cry: Right?!

*waits*

*waits*

*waits even more*

Uhm, excuse me? Aren’t you supposed to disagree with me? :cute:

:lol:

Sorry for the low-quality images. My phone camera isn’t really good. :cute:

Thank you for the wonderful comments. I shall properly return them tomorrow. Thanks for still visiting my site though I haven’t dropped by in yours for ages. :hmm: I’ve been tiring easily lately. :nod:

And geesh, I am so abusing my smilies. :lol:

    Hi! Just blog hopping. Got here from Fruity Oaty’s blog. Your previous domain Black-Apogee sounds familiar. I think I’ve visited it before. Anyways, good luck on being nominated for this year’s Blog Awards. Have a nice day! :)

  6. ems

  8. Shari

    Anne: True. You don’t know how long it took for that pictorial to finish. My goooossssh! :lol:

    Jaypee: I think you must have, because I know I’ve visited you in the past. :)

    Ate Ems: Hay naku. ^_^ Hehe!

    Lance: See? I had to force you! Tsk! :cry: I wonder how many times I’ve advertised Kabataan Partylist here. :p But anyway, that reminds me…I now have something more meaningful to blog about. :yay:

  9. Chau

    LOL Shari. Nice pictures, though! Yeah, I don’t post up many pictures of me either… =/

  10. Juice

    I’m not a big fan of doing vanity pictures coz I’m hella conscious with taking pictures of myself but when it’s with others, then GO!

    Haha I like the poses. Why didn’t you do an emo pose? That’s most wanted now!

    Oi, you’re not ugly ha :tongue:

  11. sexy mom

    i agree to disagree…why, you ooze with self confidence! look at those pictures. do you agree?

  12. sexy mom

    btw, there seems to be some synchronicity with your tita, while i was sending my comment to you…here comes your comment to me. :)

  13. Shari

    Chau: Well I remember some moron direct-linking one of my pictures. Haha!

    Juice: What the heck is an eMo (from Euri’s new friend haha) pose?! :lol: Di raw. :tongue:

    Sexy Mom: Haha, I’m oozing with low self-confidence. ;) I disagree ehehe. Yeah, I actually noticed the sync. :biggrin:

  14. Kai

    I like your smile, it’s infectious. Trust me, I don’t lie :stareyes:

  15. tiffany

    Shari, you’re not ugly! Gosh, I find you quite pretty and I so love your smile :yay: .

    Hahaha you have been using your smilies a lot in your posts. You never used to use smilies in your posts before. Or did you?

    Hahaha! I just read your email. Thank you for upgrading my WP. I don’t know how to upgrade it. Pano ba kasi? Plus, the smilies I installed before aren’t working :mad: eeeek! Oh well, I shall check what’s wrong with it. I haven’t had any time to access my ftp kasi.

    By the way, you should post more pictures of you :biggrin:

  16. Amanda

    P.S. Where did you get these smilies? I love them!

  21. Jun

    Ano ka ba, kung ang tingin mo sa mukha mo ugly, ano na itatawag ko sa akin?

    :cry:

  22. Shari

    Kai: :shock:

    Tiffany: I have never used smilies before now. I swear. Maybe that’s why I’m abusing them, haha! :) You should just overwrite your files. But anyway, sorry about your smilies. It’s actually because they’ve been overwritten, that’s why they don’t work anymore. Sorry. :(

    Amanda: OMGYOUARESOLYINGSHUTUP!!! :lol:

    Howling: *strikes a sexy pose* LOL

    Melanie: I thought you weren’t going to disagree. :p

  31. Ellie

    Well, welcome to the club. I have low self-esteem too. What’s different about me is I’m not photogenic. :dance: I LOL’ed at the ‘touch only’ part.

  32. larceydoodle

    happy ending, i never thought of u as ugly.. and those pics btw are typical friendster shots.. im being a hypocrite, i take those kinds of pictures too. :boogie:

  33. h.l0ve

    finally a picture of you.. so i mistakenly identified you as a redhead.. i think thats some other xientian hahaha…

    I mean it. Really I do. :)

  35. JJ

    :biggrin: i think you’re beautiful :heart:

    actually, having chicken pox while you’re younger is a good thing. :eek: adult chicken pox is more serious and i think about 35% cases lead to death (though im not sure if that figure is correct).

    oh, and i’m so in love with the picture with your nose scrunched :boogie:

  36. Talamasca

    For some odd reason, you resemble my cousin. No shit. :tongue:

  39. chase

    Well it is not just you who feels that way. But honestly dear you dont look ugly or fat. You are cute and you should always think that way!

  40. M

  41. Danni

  58. Alternati

    hahahaha, I love this entry. Well dear whatever you lack in the popular idea of “beautiful” you make up with wit and humor, which are more permanent things.

    These smileys are so unique… :biggrin:

  59. Rach

    Great photos. I’m sure you had fun making those funny and cute poses.

    I also wanted to wish you Happy Women’s Day! Take care.

  60. Brandy

    You could totally be a model. You’re cute.

    Now, If I were to do this in my blog, my pictures would definately be up for grabs, such as for people like TGO for example. :) I put one up in my blog recently, and it was on TGO’s forums within AN HOUR after I posted it. :lol:

  61. Shari

    H.Love: Ang haggard naman nun, feeling ko flaming red hair yun ha.

    Tina: Wah, mabait ka eh. Hehe!

    JJ: Thanks, thanks! *blushes* Nyahehe. Younger pa bang matatawag ang 19? Just when I’m in my “self-concious stage”. Tatay ko nga nagpa-derma pa eh. Kung mahilig lang ako sa ganun, naku. Haha!

    M: I do. Look, they all fell for that, LOL!

    Danni: Typical networking site shot, ;)

    Liz: Boo! Boo! Takot ka lang daganan kita pag nagkita tayo uli eh haha!

    Joanna: Hala. Hehe, unfortunately, my current blog entry won’t make you laugh. ;)

    Acey: Maniniwala ba ako? May “lol” sa dulo eh hehe!

    Brandi: Hehe, this is the first. I just had to do it haha ;)

    Dulcine: Thank you. =D

    Lexie: That still won’t make me stop pestering you to give me a puppy, hehe. ;)

    Ate Aileen: That’s very nice to know. =D

    Xyla: Gifted…in that department? *winks* Yeah, dang, gimme some lesbo action. They say those kind of things make the twins swell. What do you - the nurse - say? LOL

    Nickle: Haha, I should hope so! ;) Good luck, good luck po!

    Monalisa: Just got home that time. :p Nagsuklay lang, haha! And hey, you, better than all these people, should know that I really am not pretty. Yung iba once pa lang ako nakita, eh ikaw twice (or thrice?) na.

    Ann: Baliiiiw! Crushable, lol! Miss na kita. *hugs*

    Tiffany: Thanks. Sorry again. o_O

    Jeannie: But it’s natural for you, coz, you know, it runs in your blood. Hehe.

  62. Tina

    your not ugly 0__0 seriously i mean i’ll be honest ur not like hottest girl ever but u are not ugly!!!! =.= ya dont care about ur look ssoo much they just ruin ur life!!

  63. Caitlin

    Oh my gosh, this entry is awesome. Seriously, I love those steps. They make me smile, especially because it’s so true you see it everywhere.

    Secondly, I’m just going to have to tell you that I think you’re really pretty. I do know it stinks to have a low self confidence - I do too. But it’s always nice to hear other people compliment you even if you don’t think it yourself, yet, right?

    By the way, I really love your site. It’s fabulous.

  64. fruityoaty

    Oh ho ho ho, LOL… that was a funny read.

    Personally, I think you fabulous! And I’m not even gay.

    Which reminds me, I really should post my ugly face somewhere on my blog… because I just received a strange e-mail from a dude named “Paulie” who thought that I was 30-something gay man based on my entries and “About page”.

    Umm, yeah…. ooookay. 30-something? I think I’m offended! I’m not that old. Oh, Dear God… I’m so uncool and unhip now that someone thinks I’m old. Oh wait, I was NEVER cool or hip. Yeah, alright, that makes me feel better… I think.

    Whooh… 2 down… 3 entries to go. Damn, I shouldn’t really let stuff pile up.
