A day in the life of the CyberLizard...
Scene: Glorietta 4 cinemas
Me: (to ticket saleslady) Three tickets for Swordfish
Ticketlady: (looks at me incredulously) Ilang taon ka na?
Me: (sheepish yet chagrined) I'm nineteen.
Ticketlady: (motions for a show of ID) Kailan ho kayo ipinanganak?
Me: (pulls out my driver's license) 1982. See? Nineteen na ako
Ticketlady: Ilang taon na 'yung kasama mo?
Me: Parents ko.
...Five minutes later, as I enter with my parents
Guard: (motions at me, while looking at my dad) Ilang taon na siya?
I swear, this is the nth time I've had to pull out an ID. I remember second year high school when I had to watch Titanic (PG-13) when my friends were off watching The Jackal. Of course, we all weren't 18, but they didn't question their age. Now of course, I'm legally entitled to watch R-18. And yes, they do ask for an ID of sorts.
Hmm, maybe next time I should hang my birth certificate around my neck. Before going to the movies, I mean.
