some annoying but amusing signs i look like a kid...

scenario 1: while running a bank errand for my mom, the banker (thinking that i was just a HS kiddo) was not treating me seriously. as in like joking around with me like i was a kid nga. he asked for an id and i presented my then college id. his eyes widened and he said "kolehiyala ka na pala!". it was then that he dealt with me seriously! haha!

scenario 2: my mom, kuya, and i were going to the casino (hey slot machine lang po ang alam ko ah!). syemps, the security people asked for my age. well, they were not convinced so mega ask pa sila when my birth year was! eventually, they let me in din naman. hello! do i look like a liar?!? haha! funny pa nga, i kept on psyching in my mind that "i'm above 18, i'm above 18..." so i blurted out tuloy "18" when they asked for my age... e i was 20 na ata that time... haha! bawi tuloy ako "20 pala hehe sorry".

scenario 3: the immigration officers at the airport sternly said, "ay pag minor po, kailangan ng DSWD permit bago makalabas ng bansa...". my mom said, "24 na yan". ayaw makinig haha! insisted that they require the DSWD permit... finally she had some sense in her system, and looked at my birth date... hello!!! 1980 yan! shouldn't you look at facts and not the physical hitsura?!? my gaaasss!

scenario 4: this happens quite often during reunions or gatherings with our relatives or my mom's friends. the usual how-are-the-kids stuff? then once they knew that i'm already working for almost 3 yrs now, ok eyes wide talga and, "huwaaaaaat? working na?!?! muka lang pinabili ng suka!" hay naku gasgas na yang linya na yan! 1billion times na sinasabi sakin! pede ba ibahin... "para lang pinabili ng candy" wag naman suka hello?!?! hehe umapila pa!

oh well, amusing nga (although annoying na rin minsan). better to be small and look young than be small na nga and look old pa, right? =) oh, petite is a better term! in fairness, HS-or-college-girl-look-alike na ko... nde na elementary harharhar talga!
