Despite of the Tita Mode during that one night at The Yard, one specific moment took all of our attention that makes us laugh and I still can't move on that I need to put all my thoughts in here. Haha
We found a table that was specifically just for one food stall that we already jump into it rather than not having a table. With the hunger plus no table it's hard to bring our mood in the happy place. Putting us outside our comfort zone means one thing, we observe a lot. It's not our crowd, yes but doesn't mean we don't have any idea on what these kind of people are and as who we are, we can totally adjust to different circumstances as long as we have each other.
I will not apologize if we are too observant because Gem and I were born to be one. Haha. Not to mention Gem started all of it and pass it to me later on that night. Haha. We are already on our table waiting for our order when there was this couple seating across our table and the girl was taking selfie.
Selfie is a must in this generation so that's pretty normal not until, minutes passed by and you are not done yet. Geez how many selfie is required within a day? Seriously? Is there any required numbers of selfie during a day most especially when you are out in one of the most popular places right now? Is there any rule that there should be a gazillion photos taken before and after eating? Gazillion food pictures are more acceptable than gazillion of selfies (group picture is totally a different story).
So yeah, the girl didn't stop while waiting for her boyfriend who was ordering food and she was just taking photos of herself for maybe 30 minutes. Haha. Friendly advice, if it's against the light you can never do anything about it, you can't capture your face and the background at the same time unless you will settle with a shadow of your head with it. If you will have a never ending selfie mode, get a whole team to do the picture taking. Haha. I was so close to volunteer as her photographer since I had my DSLR that time. Haha.
Another friendly advice, if you are going to eat like a guy who haven't eaten for weeks, please don't wear something like an off-shoulder romper because it doesn't compliment each other. Haha. Please people, eat according on how you are dressed up. Unless you are at the comfort of your home even you eat like a lion with a very nice long gown, then that's alright but if you are in a public place where there's also a scarcity of tables and seats then it's very inappropriate.
Scarcity of fabric is so strong in that place too! Haha.

Here's the real reason why I titled this post with Social Media Over Reality.
What I told on the first part was the real deal and it's not just about what we usually see on social media. That girl who got a whole memory of her phone for her selfies that night might posted those on her social media accounts and people who are just seeing it doesn't know on how she did that. I'm telling you, her struggle to get the "perfect" shot is fucking real!! Haha.
Generally, I discussed this with my friends that some people post a lot on their social media account but the question is, do they really enjoyed their time while taking that photo? What we usually see on their wall are maybe just 20% of the reality. Who knows if they really enjoyed it maybe it's just for show. This applies most especially to the people who we know who they really are outside their social media account.
I'm happy that my friends and I don't usually update on actual time of hanging out not unless it's very informative you know like updating each other during basketball games or any information that should be spread ASAP. We usually upload everything late another indication that we really did enjoyed our company that night. I'm not gonna lie there are times that we are distracted with the Internet but usually that's just 10% of our hangout moments. Haha. Well that doesn't happen when it's basketball season because there's too much to talk to.
One problem that I got with those people are, no matter how many their photos on their memory card for a single event they are uploading EVERYTHING. AS IN EVERYTHING. It's 2016 we can just choose few pictures to upload per event in our life. Why am I ranting about it its your life. Haha. Yeah because it's annoying. Haha.
Before we get jealous on whatever they post ask yourself curiously if those people really enjoyed their time when the picture was taken. I think most of the time it's just for show.
Just enjoy however you are living as long as you're happy and you aren't ruining anybody. And if you are going to share something on the Internet be sure you share whatever that's real because you are fooling yourself more than you are fooling the people who will see it.
We can all trick each other on social media.
