For a long time, I’ve had the impression that people saw me as younger than I really was. My sister’s boyfriend was surprised to hear I was 28 already, thinking I was a just few years older than my sister (who’s 22).

Especially in Vietnam, people always guess I was born in 1983 or 1984. (I was born in 1980) In fact, no one has every guessed my true age here correctly.

Now there’s a site that plays on people guessing others’ ages called HowOldareYou.net. Like a Hot or Not with age.

So I submitted, and you can see the consensus below.

Tah dah! 25 years old it is.

I like to think my youthful look comes from:

1. Acting like a child
2. Playing video games and being able to enjoy teen movies even up to my late twenties
3. Playful demeanor
4. General avoidance of hard partying and boozing
5. Child-like innocence and naiveté (also called stupidity for grown-ups)

but I have to say that I’m probably just lucky. I feel like my work life is reasonably stressful, but I still have no white hairs. I also know that age can come quickly, and I hope to look youthful for my age a while longer.

Btw, I posted the Skee-lo pic above because trying out a random activity on Facebook, I learned that I should play I Wish at my funeral. Which is quite fitting, I wish I could be a little bit taller…I wish I could be a baller…..

As long as I haven’t given up my pro basketball dreams, I guess I can still think I’m young.
