"You don't act your race/age/etc etc."

Sometimes people will think my fifteen-year-old brother looks older than me. That usually depends on my hair situation (if I got a haircut, or if I have it going crazy... also if I shaved/how I shaved, like letting my goatee grow out). I'm 21. I'm short for my age (5 foot, yo).

Strangely enough, though, I usually don't get carded for movies or anything (probably also since I whoop out my college ID for the student discount anyway). I usually don't get carded either when ordering drinks at a restaurant. I only get asked for ID typically when I should, like when making a beer run or something.

I guess it all depends with who I hang out with. I look older when I'm with the college heads, and just as young if with the teen crowd.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In my earlier post, I only commented about my age situations. I'll talk about my race now.

I'm Filipino. There's a pretty decently huge Filipino community in my area, but I do feel disconnected with them. I don't really hang out with them as much, and even at school, I'm found more with the other races. My apartment alones features me (Filipino) as well as a Chinese, a Korean, and a nigga. I'm also the only Filipino computer engineer undergraduate at my school (though there are 2 other electrical engineers).

And while I've been an active member of my university's Filipino Cultural Association (I'm currently vice president), I still don't hang out with them a lot. The senior Filipino class is actually not very-well bonded, though I find that kinda cool because we're all doing our own thing.

Meh. I still want the flag here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
