Are You Hiding Your True Self? “SELFIE”

Image
In 2012, Time magazine included the word "selfie" among its Top 10 buzzwords of the year. Last year, "selfie" not only earned its inclusion in the dictionary but was also chosen as word of the year by the Oxford English Dictionary. From Hollywood and local celebrities, athletes, and even politicians, “selfies” have seemingly become the norm in social networking sites, making up a majority of the pictures taken by smartphone users---both young and old. Its appeal not only lies on just how easy it is to create and share, but because it also gives self-photographers control on how they present themselves. Here in the Philippines most of the people have gone through this kind of attitude and can we say syndrome  of taking pictures before eating and now having a selfie of himself/herself or even taking it with personalities , friends and love ones. Social Media like Instagram , Twitter , Facebook and other known Social Networks takes their pride and openness of makin
