counsinhood of the mirror addicts

we love mirror! all kind of mirrors. but especially the huge ones that are able to use as a media of narcissism. oh, anyway, by 'we' I mean me, my sister, my cousin diandra and diandra's cousin chacha. everytime we go on a holiday together, we'll never miss striking poses in front of mirrors. wherever there's a mirror, there we are. we'll never even miss spotting a single mirror. we love taking pictures of ourselves. we're young narcissists. and that's why I call ourselves the mirror addicts.


thanks to the biggest ever bathroom mirror I've ever seen in Hilton Bandung Hotel and also to the amazing lighting, we've got some(well, a bunch actually) gossip-girl-like pictures. here we go:























the story:
me: "I'll try this new color. maybe it'll work for my lips."
vannya: "..." (I have no idea what she's doing back there. late for the pose?)
cha: "this is why I need mascara!"
diandra: "a thin wipe of this eyeliner sure will make my eyes look even more amazing."

the story:
me: *smooch*
vannya: "now I know what I needed. hairspray!"
cha: "*ugh*... I never know using mascara is this hard. but I'll keep on smiling!"
diandra: "are thin wipes enough? I think I need thick ones."

and finally...



the story:
me: "pucker up. this is a perfect touch."
vannya: "hey, I want to try holding the phone too!"
cha: "finally! I'm done!"
diandra: "I thought so. thick wipes are better than thin ones. great job."

and...

ups, I almost forgot.
credits to: my mom's make-up which are borrowed without her her permission. yep, she had no idea at all even until now that her make up had been used as equipments to accomplish our mission.

on the other side, there's always somebody (or more than that) who wanted to get picture of themselves without tolerating whether the others want to join or not! so this is what we got on my camera:

the story:
me: "hey, do not take pictures alone! it's my camera, you know~"


so that's it. sadly, the phone camera showed no mercy. I know we got a huge mirror and a great lighting, but to be honest the camera made the quality bad :( well, I guess 3.2 MP aren't just enough to fulfill our passion or narcissism. next time we'll try using SLR. may-be.

the good thing is, by using a phone camera, we can use the self-timer application, which, I should admit, is really useful for self-lover people like us. we got these amazing photos back then:


I love this one more than anything. great job huh?




this one was taken when the phone almost fell of (since we put it on the table vertically, without any guards!) so I tried to catch it and that's when the self-timer worked and captured the rest three persons. needless to say they're not ready :P but what to say, all of them still looked good. cha had this most natural smile ever and diandra's expression is just.. priceless.




next. based on the previous lesson about 'not putting the phone vertically without any guards', not we put it on the table and let it lean on the wall at the same time so it won't fell. thanks again to the self-timer function.

















and I simply love cha's earrings. they hung on her ears like that and they automatically elongated cha's face, and I love the combination of the long shape with the plaid purple shirt that cha wore at the moment :) one word: classy. spell it.


















I did a funny face in this one. a shocked expression that every narcissist, I'm sure, had tried to make at least once.


pure narcissist always loves this 'surprised/shocked expression' :P it's standard, don't you think? but what I like from this photo is the look of my yellow nail polish that's stricken by the light and it made the color totally amazing, like some kind of gold-ish or something like that. and I still adore cha's earrings. love, love, love this.

...[by the way, this is the last photo that we took in the bathroom. and if you're curious about the things that's captured because they're on the table, let me tell you that they are:
(from your left to your right)
our bathing-kit case, my hairband, a complimentary card from the hotel, my mom/dad/sister's toothbrush, and my sister's brackets box]

speaking about mirrors, Hilton Bandung sure has great and unique mirrors. me and my sister took these photo down there just because we fell in love with the eccentric shape of the mirror:

here, you can see the original shape of the mirror on the reflection: because there were like four of them at that place.

I immediately said to my sister, "I'll ask mom to search for this kind of mirror!" But I haven't yet, anyway, because I know even though she finds it, she won't buy it for me.

this is what our conversations will exactly be like:

me: "mom, I want to have the mirror like the ones at the hotel, if you know what I mean."
mom: "yeah, I know. but no, no way you're gonna have it."
me: "why not?" (I actually know why, Mom)
mom: "because you already have two mirrors in your room! isn't it more than enough?"
me: "no, it's enough." (...I knew it)

but you see here, for a mirror addict like me, two mirrors aren't enough, because a uniquely shaped mirror is just irresistible for me. well, I'm trying to forget that mirror now.. >.<


...oh well...


that's all about the story of the mirror and me. pretty unimportant, right? however, that's who I am. I wish you had enjoyed your time reading this post. as for me, I quite enjoyed writing this post.


talk to your later :) au revoir!
