I see lots of these avatars on Facebook lately, and I kept ignoring it to the point that I cannot anymore. Let's be honest, FOMO is real. I searched for it, and of course, the results are like these:


I was thinking of Avatar: The Last Airbender as well.

I remember creating a cartoon version of myself before, and I am trying to find it as of this writing. Maybe in the next post, I will upload it if I can find it. Or, just perhaps, update this post.

I gave in to the curiosity and tried to recreate my look, the most brutally honest way I could. The first try was not as close as to how I look. Plus, I removed my eyeglasses to have a better-personalized view but still, it looked weird.

 

Then, as my dear friend suggested, I added the eyeglasses. I even opted for the girly looked than the usual baggy clothes. I like dressing up on a good day. I think the right picture shows the more "tita version" of me, and the left side is the "trying-to-look-young" version.

 

I spent enough time trying to recreate my look and settled for my best effort look. In conclusion, I am kind of enjoying it for now, and they all look hilarious and, yes, adorable. Anything that makes us happy nowadays is welcome. Plus, Facebook's intention in rolling out this feature is for the people to have a more personalized way to deliver their message. So there, I hope you will enjoy them too.
