Thats it. I have proof that I was never meant to be prim, proper or ladylike.
While nosing through an old album at my mom's house, I noticed that almost all my pictures were, um, quite funny.
One shot from my childhood, for example, has all the expats barkada's young daughters posed and smiling properly. I on the other hand have this huge grin plastered on my face that looks almost comical (really mugging for the camera).
Another, which was taken at a Christmas party, had all my childhood friends posing neatly and smiling by Santa's sled. I wasn't paying attention and now have my ponytail to represent my face for all eternity. Typical.
I look through more photos in the hope of finding a few that can pass for "composed". No such luck. I'm either acting really silly or am smiling waaay too much.
And the other shots that don't have me smiling? They either have me shoving food into my mouth or caught in the middle of screaming something out (or looking at something besides the camera).
They say, how you act as a child is more or less how you'll act for the rest of your life. So good luck to my aspirations of making the cover of Time magazine, I suppose.
I never really had many "poised" shots...possibly never will.
A friend's theory possibly proven - I am not a normal girl. Oh well. We can't all be barbie - I sure as hell don't want to be.
Here's to a few more decades of mugging for the camera and looking silly. :)

How you act as a kid, dictates how you'll act for the rest of your life? I guess I'm screwed... at least I have a fellow player in the game :)
Never fear, the 'un-normal' ones are around, we just hide in the dark, waiting to feed on the happiness of others.
If I remember you as a child right...and I think of my impish self then, well I guess I'm doubly screwed!
:) I dedicate my next idiotic move to all you "un-normal" ones out there
