Sentiments may be varied as to how this reflects to the society in general, but one thing's for sure - the selfie has transcended into more than just a fleeting trend and has become part of our culture. As more and more people have become familiar with the online social media landscape, we are constantly being barraged with various types of selfies, ranging from the funny to the peculiar to the 'epal' to the downright nonsense. Pero eto na yung nangingibabaw na eight types of selfies which I find either comical, annoying or amusing. In no particular order, we start with:
1. The In-The-Bed Selfie
A number of variations have come up with this type of selfie but two stand out: (a) the Just-Woke-Up selfie, and (b) the Sleeping selfie. Both of which take place in the bed.
The Just-Woke-Up selfie is one you 'supposedly' make as soon as you wake up. So, it's 7 in the morning, the birds are chirping, the sun is bright, your life is perfect, you instantly grab your phone and snap away.
"jwu..can you give me a morning hug?"
O diba? Pa cute lang? C'mon, we all effin' know how you look in the morning with the disheveled hair, eye bags, muta, laway and all! Pero sabi nga nila kelangan i-stage para cute naman daw. The lesser the clothing, the better.
"jwu...it's sooo hot..phew.."
Meyganun?!
Eh, kung Just-Woke-Up selfie man gani, kani na lang unta to!
O diba? Bangag lang ang peg!
The Sleeping selfie, on the other hand, goes like this.
Alam namin hindi ka tulog gago! We all know you took the damn picture! At may pa-cute smile ka pang nalalaman! Hahaha! Eh, kung sleeping selfie lang ang gusto mo, eh di sana ganito yung pinost mo!
2. The Gym Selfie
You do this because you want everyone to know you go to the gym.
Pero nagji-gym ka nga ba talaga? O nagpapa-cute lang? For all we know, one-time session ka lang!
O baka gusto mo lang ipagsigawan sa buong mundo ang mga naglalakihang braso at abs mo! [insert flexing of muscles] Oo na! Ikaw na ang sexy! Ikaw na ang hunk! Pero bakit nakatago mukha mo? Hipon lang? Awww...
3. The CR Selfie
This has got to be the most amusing type of selfie you might have encountered. And I just don't get it why people love taking them in the CR.
Picture this. You go to a restaurant, bar, or hotel. Briefly, you'll need to go to the CR at some point. After taking a piss or dump, you notice the mirror. Uy, I look nice. You look around and realize you're the only one in the room. Maganda ang lighting, sosyal ang ambiance ng CR at mas malaki pa siya sa kwarto mo. Pwes, magse-selfie ako!
"success!"
O diba? Wala nay mas hugaw sa pagselfie sa lugar kung asa ka mangihi ug malibang! Pakapinan pa ug quote para layshu!
Kung CR selfie man lang ang gusto mo, eh di sana ganito na lang!
4. The SNAD Selfie
I'm sure dami ang maka relate nito. Naglipana kaya online ang mga selfie katulad nito. But what then is a SNAD? The Significantly-Not-As-Described or SNAD Selfie is a result of a photo being too filtered, altered or enhanced that the photo subject significantly ends up being a totally different person. Meaning, Transformers lang ang peg!
"tired #nofilter"
Ok, ok, the above picture is a bit too much but you get my point. These are the all-too-perfect selfies you find online but when you get to meet them in real life, you end up telling yourself, "P*t*ng ina! Loko to ah! Anyare?! You definitely don't look like the one I saw online!"
5. The Inside-The-Car Selfie
You literally just got in the car and thought, "I look so good today. I better let everyone know I'm driving my newly bought Ford Everest and I'm off to have lunch at Marco Polo."
Yun na! For all we know, you're just driving a 1992 Kia Pride or worse, hindi mo car yun!
But of course, kung wala kang car, you can always opt for the practical option.
"pimp my ride #joyride"
6. The Paa Selfie
Simply put, ito yung mga may obsession sa paa.
Yung paa sa beach.
Heto yung paa sa hotel room.
How about yung paa na parang gustong tumalon?
O di kaya yung kinakain ng isda?
Eh yung paa sa tub gusto mo?
And of course, meron din yung mga deceiving na paa selfie tulad nito.
When in fact, sa likod ng bahay ka lang nagwawalis na naka boots! Katkat much?
7. The Putol Shot Selfie
Ito na yung mga selfie na pinuputol to look it more artistic. Sabi nga ng mga mare natin sa thesoshalnetwork.com, the more putol, the more sosyal.So putol here.
And putol there.
Putol everywhere! Combination pa ng putol gym selfie! Bongga!
And there should be proper planning and right execution na naaayon na mahighlight yung best feature mo! So kung nguso ang selling point mo, huwag mo nang ipagdamot! I putol shot selfie mo na yan!
Eh di wow!
8. The Not-Related-To-What-I'm-Posting Selfie
Simple lang ang paggawa nito. Humanap ka ng puwesto na maganda ang lighting. Magpose ka lang. Kung gusto mo, nakahubad ka pa. Tapos itodo mo na ang pag emote para soshal, yung parang malayo lang ang tingin mo. O di kayay magpa cute ka.
But in order for this type of selfie to work, baonin mo ng quote. Yung tipong very deep na nakakahilo intindihin. Yung tipong mapapa-"Huh?" ka!
"Write drunk. Edit sober. #lifegoal"
May iba naman jan, nagbebenta lang ang peg.
O diba? Tawag jan, advertising!
So there you have it boys, girls and in-between! Have you encountered selfies like these? May ibang selfies ba kayong nalalaman? O guilty lang kayo kase ginagawa nyo rin ito? Lol! Let me know and give a holler in the comments section!
