It was bad enuf that I was always mistaken for a Thai everytime i took cab to school..& recently a taxi driver asked me whether i was from Sarawak..insinuating that i look like one of their aborigines. However, recently in semester 2 when i started to keep my hair long..many times I've been asked by new classmates whether i am a Pinoy...haha.. The last straw was this afternoon..when i was stopped by the security people at the MRT station. She wanted to check my heavy looking haversack..do i look like a suspicious character carrying an equally suspicious looking bag. Beats me!! Anyway..when i showed her the content of my bag with my files, notes and laptop..& told her that i am a student who just came back from school. She asked me the magical question.."ARE YOU LOCAL..??"
I GAVE UP EXPLAINING MYSELF..next time i would just say NO!!!!!
