This is my first blog post, and this will be all about a review about the trending meme photos among the Filipino social media users.

We all know that Internet is one of the powerful media today. People who are into internet are called netizens, and I am one of them.

As a netizen, I know that these activities are the favorites among the users of social media sites: micro-blogging, video sharing, photo sharing, status updating and chatting with social website friends.

Among the things I mentioned above, PHOTO SHARING is the most popular especially among the Filipino website users. In one of my social networking site account, selfies and groupies pictures are the most trending.

Yet lately, I'd noticed that aside from selfies and groupies, Funny pictures or a.k.a "Meme Photo" is making noise on the web.

Meme Photo is defined by google definition as a humorous image that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

Many are uploading Meme Photos and making it as their status, which usually receives a flood of likes and votes. Mostly, the original owner of the photo is hard to identify because once the Meme was upload, it is copied and passed to one friend to another; and uploads to one website to another.

Here are some examples of funny pictures shared on SNS (Social Networking Site):

Funny, isn't it? I could say these kind of Meme is somewhat a stress reliever.

Aside from photos above, there are other Memes that i will show to you. These are funny signage which includes wrong spelling, wrong use of words, grammar error, and some were intentional so that it could catch the attention of a passerby.

Aside from the funny signage, netizens share these Meme which involves celebrities, TV programs and controversial people:


Meme photos brings enjoyment to netizens that's why many of these kind of photos is still circulating and counting in the world wide web. Netizens today are really creative that they make a certain photo turned into a funny way.

For me, Meme photo is just okay, as long as there will be no harsh word that would affect anyone on the circulating pictures. Meme's are also helpful in order to correct one's mistake when it comes to wrong use of word. Once the owner see the photo, he or she would be aware of it and will correct the mistake that he/she had done.
