21

So I turned 23 yesterday.

Some people greeted me on Facebook the day before my actual birthday. So I changed my birthday to December 11 to decrease the chance of people who are doing so just because they saw it there.

Some guy from the PR firmed hired by Google in the Philippines greeted me happy birthday via a phone call. I had more people call me this year to greet than in past years. I usually just receive SMSes.

Ferron, Mariel and I wanted to watch Watchmen last night so we booked the day before to assure us of seats. When we arrived at the cinema to claim our tickets, they asked us for IDs that would confirm we are above 18. I couldn't produce any. Mariel had a long and heated discussion with the guy at the counter. We eventually decided to get a refund and come back the next day.

They didn't even check for identification cards today. The only difference was that it was Ferron who claimed and not me. After the movie, I recounted the story to someone and he said that I don't look 18 so he understands why the guy at the counter did that.

For my auditions last last week, I kept on telling everyone that I am just 21 years old as it is the most convenient thing to say. It just rolls off the tongue easier and no back story as to how I'm still studying needs to be said.
