Name..

I feel so blessed with a name! I mean, a name which carries along a beautiful meaning with it. So, why call a person "Botak, Bulat, Bob"? etc..

It always infuriates me when a person calls me/others name that is not registered in our birth cert! I will be annoyed. No wonder I am not used to calling my friends names other than what was 'tahnik'ed on him/her.

Since my younger years, I have always despised people calling me/others names that are not ours. But as time flies, I realize that there are people who like it or used to it. I mean, used to the "new" names given. Whenever there is a seminar, new college enrollment or so forth, they would definitely be people who come with some names for the "not-so-famous-in-the-group".

By any other name would smell as sweet."
