The history of my Tilt Smile

As promised, here's how my tilt smile came about.

There are other variations of this smile - it can be called the "commercial smile", the "cheer smile" or the "eksenadora smile". This is my own take on it. I have no copyright claim on it. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead,is purely coincidental. Chos!

In case you don't know what my tilt smile is, it's a half open smile with your head tilting on either left or right on the count of three. It depends on the situation. Usually, I do tilt smiles using the front camera of my iPod touch; now I'm using my SLR camera. The people doing tilt smiles with me are often called "victims" and I usually approach them.

Photo diary: Paandar, BU5 style!

"Paandar" is the term sometimes used, meaning to start something and that something is to get attention. -Lifelines, Philippine Daily Inquirer

Since I won a free pass for BU5, I decided to do something different for that event.

I have been doing this tilt smile ever since the year started, and what better way to do that again is with bloggers! The last famous person to do the tilt smile with me was Risa Hontiveros.

Bloggers United 5!

Bloggers United is actually a familiar event for me. I knew it started last year, but for some reason I wasn't able to attend the past 4 events. It's either I don't have the transportation to go there or I don't have money.

It was the fifth installment, and I told myself that I better attend this one. I believe in the acronym YOLO - You Only Live Once, so I better start doing things before regretting it
