I keep joking to my friends that I’m a practical joke created by my parents. Haha. April Fool’s Day isn’t really practiced much here in the Philippines so only a handful of my friends get the joke when I tell it. My parents mentioned back then that Mom actually wanted to name me April (in memory of my birth month) and my second sister May (she was born in May, go figure) but decided against it. I don’t know if I’ll be thankful or not because April is quite easier to write (and would fit easier on those forms I have to fill in) than the name they decided to christen me with which has more than 15 letters. Although its quite boring compared to the name they gave me. 
Well I’m a bit happy that people don’t celebrate pranks here because I don’t like prank myself. Makes it easier to have a special birthday too.
