nToday, Baymard was once again immersed in excitement.... as people walked around the streets happily.

n

"Do you think that they really did it?

nI mean.... how can they be able to capture portraits just like that?

"

n

"Bro... from the news, it's called pictures instead.

"

n

"Hmhm... it's true!

nEven the Baymardian dictionary differentiates the two.

nApparently, portraits are sketched or painted..... and pictures are what are produced by cameras instead.

nIt looks like when his majesty was making the dictionary, he really took these future designs into perspective.

"

n

"Hmhm... And also, even though you can take photos in Landscape or portrait sizes... These portrait sizes actually have nothing to do with actual painted portraits.

"

n

"Aye, did anyone get the news about our I.Ds?

"

n

"News?.... what news?!!

"

n

"Well, we have just 3 months to change our I.Ds.

nYou see this empty space on your I.D card, apparently.... this is where they would place our pictures.

nSo we just need to go to the office and take a picture there, so that they can place it on our I.Ds later on.

"

n

"Eh?..... So do we submit our I.Ds then?

"

n

"No.... not until the pictures are out.

nOnce they are out, the office will call us, and schedule an appointment to meet us.

nAnd from there, they'll take about 10~30 minutes to place the picture on our I.D cards and seal it with a clear protective cover..... before finally giving it back to us again.

"

n

"Wait!... so we'll get it on that same day?

"

n

"Hmhm.... that same day!!!

"

n

"Ugh...Dude, this is not the time for one of your lectures.

nSo let's just forget about all of that, because I'm just too excited right now.

"

n

"Me too!

nIf I can get a wedding portrait of my wife and myself, then wouldn't that be great?

nHahahhahhahah..... when our 1-year-old son grows up, I'll be able to brag about how good looking his mother and I were.

"

n

"Ah!!!.... I can't wait to see this Camera thing!!!

"

nAnd so just like that, several people excitedly made their way towards the different photography studios around Baymard.

nSome were in the mall, while others were independent buildings within some of the districts.

nOf course most businesses that involved individuals having company I.Ds, also had their own personal cathode cameras as well.

nWith pictures now coming into effect, it was now time for everyone to change I.D cards.

nIn short, everyone wanted to see this camera thing and were completely thrilled about today's launch.

n.

n

"Ahh.... if you don't hurry now, we are Hong to be late!!!

"

n

"I'm coming..... I'm coming... I'm coming!

"

n

"That's what you said 20 minutes ago.

"

n

"Well, they say that this thing can capture live images... so of course I have to look my best.

nDo you think that it's easy to do makeup?

nPlease!

nI have to look like a goddess in those pictures okay?

"

n'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'

nA young girl was currently making her way towards the living room in her best attire.

nShe lived in a double room apartment with her best friend, who was currently waiting for her in annoyance.

n

"Jane!.... why are you always making me late for every occasion?

"

n

"Well, that's because you love me!

"

n

"Fine! Fine! Fine! Fine! Fine!

nI love you!... so can we go now your highness.

"

n

"Of course, lead the way my trusted assistant.

"

n

"Sigh... I only blame myself for always waiting for you every time.

nIt's really unbelievable that after all this dressing up and makeup... you would still need to take a bus to the Photo Studio.

"

n

n

n'Bam!'

nWith that, both ladies hurriedly made their way towards District D.

nAnd apart from Jane, several other people were also dressed up as well.

nToday, they would definitely take the best pictures that they could.

n'Vrrrrmmmmmmm!!!'

n'Bing!'

nThe bus' door opened up, and out came a swarm of people rushing out delightedly.

nThe duo also left the bus as well and followed the crowd towards a massive building close to the Art gallery.

n

"Dammit!

nThis is all your fault.

nI told you to hurry up, didn't I?

nNow, look at the crazy line-up just at the entrance of the building.

" Gila said helplessly.

n

"Hey.... why cry over something that has already happened?

nLike his majesty always said, that's just 'spilled milk'.

nAnd you know, his majesty is always right.

nIt's just spilled milk!

"

n(

"^

")

nThe duo continues conversing with one another while waiting in line for their turn.

nAnd soon, the moment that they had been waiting for.... was finally upon them.

n.

n

"Good morning!

"

n

"Good morning!

"

n

"Good morning!

"

nAs the duo entered, they were immediately greeted by the staff warmly.

nOf course they were told about picture sizes, as well as every little detail needed for them to make the right choices... since passport-sized photos were different from regular photos and so on.

nThey were also told about portrait and landscape sizes as well.

nIn short, they went through a brief orientation before actually taking their pictures.

n

"Miss Jane... Miss Gila.... you both want some sort of family

/casual pictures, that showcase your friendship right?

"

n

"Exactly Mr. Photographer!

" Jane said excitedly.

n

"Alright... we'll do just that.

nNow, I need you all to stand in front of this backdrop here.

nAnd since you're fairly new to this, I'll direct you all on how to pose as well.

nOkay men.... get the lights ready.

"

nAs the photographer spoke, several men ran around the room busily..... and all of this made the duo both excited and nervous at the same time.

nSeeing all eyes on them, they both felt like the whole world was watching them as if they were some sort of important personnel.

nJane felt goosebumps all over her body, as she tried to pose alongside Gila.

n

"Yes....yes.... that was great!

nNow tilt your head slightly to the left, but keep your eyes focused on me instead.

nYes... Darling, out your hands on your hips just like that, and give me a fierce look.

nYes... I love how you're using your hands there.

nBeautiful!

nTurn sideways and face each other just like that.

nYes...yes.....yes.... perfect!

nPose baby... Pose!!!

nAhhh!.... I can't take it anymore!

nYou both are just naturals!!!
