Random Encounters: Me and My Names

Still haven't blogged about the past events I attended.  Yeah, they are really very very late.  I don't know.  Di ko alam kung tinatamad lang ako o ayaw ko lang na simple lang yung post.  I really want it to be a quality post, not just a quick post.  Kaya heto, naipon na.  Oh well.  I just got this from Iggy

Here are a couple of nicknames that I use or given to me.

  • Jay-jay or JJ - given by my mom and dad.  It originate from their own nicknames Jojo and Joy.
  • Jay, J - just a simplified form of my nickname and I simplified it further by making it a single letter name.  Obviously inspired by the movie MIB.
  • Jori, Jors or Ben - a shortened version of my realname.  This is how my officemates and other friends now call me.
  • J4ever -  my very first online name that became my nickname in the real life.  Originally used in my deviantart account and now also used in my multiply blog.
  • JoZa - also an online nickname but often used as a pen name.  JoZa stands for Joriben Zaballa.  Originally used by my dad because his nickname is Jojo (Jojo Zaballa).  One time, good times' DJ Mojo thought I was gay because of this username but I explained that JoZa is different from Dyosa, hehehehe.
  • Honey - Well this is really very obvious.  But for the record there are two other person beside my ex who calls me honey.  A classmate in college and a close friend.
  • Jollibee - People say that I look like Jollibee and my real name really sounds like it.
  • Great Dragon Master Po, Kung Fu Panda - My recent nickname, thanks to the latest offering of Dreamworks animation Kung Fu Panda.
  • Papa Bear - my Naughty name.  The persona I assume as an Online Tabloid writer.

Whew!  Marami rin pala.  Pati yung tawag sa akin nung college naalala ko pa.  Hehehehe.  It is really funny how we acquire so many nicknames but still we manage to remember all of them the moment they are used to call us.  Maybe siguro doon mo malalaman kung sino ang mga taong makakaharap mo, lalo na yung matagal mo nang hindi nakikita dahil alam mong sila lang tumatawag sa 'yo nang ganun.

I wonder ano pang madadagdag sa listahan na yan.

I tag all the people who will read this post or kahit magreply na lang kayo sa post na ito with your nicknames.
