Oh, Dexter.
Obviously I don't do these things on the orange blog, so bring on this one!
RULES:
01. List the names that you are called by and name the people that call you by these names.
02. Tag 10 others to do the same thing and paste the link on their guestbooks.
One: Henrik. It's what most people call me in school, obviously because it's always on a first-name basis. The exception was in college, when people knew me by my nickname (thanks to LPEP rules). Then again, some college people call me by this name: Ale and Misha are prominent in this field.
Two: Niko. It's the other usual name, one that folks within the family, most college friends, and anybody who I probably met online call me. Legend has it that my parents got this name from a Steven Seagal film.
Three: Niks. Basically a shortcut of my nickname, and usually used by relatives from my mother's side.
Four: Kuku. Again, another name from the mother's side. I'm the first grandchild, so this makes perfect sense (this came from "kuya", after all). I attribute this, though, to the birth of my younger brother; it was at the same time when I demanded-ish being called "kuya", so it happened. He was a toddler, he couldn't say things well, this happened, and it got stuck. Now, us cousins from the mother's side have these pet names - Kuku, Pekeng (my sister), Gin (my younger brother, although a "kuya" can be appended depending on who's talking), Pichut, Tak, and Piching.
Five: Mister Niko. Dexter's fault. He only used this on our first chats.
Six: Kuya Niko. Ella (also known as Ellie) was being respectful; she's 13 and I'm 20.
Seven: Bunso. Ella (also known as the airchecker) called me this when we still talked a lot.
Eight: Manager. This stems from two different cases. First, my cousin calls me this after a weird name-calling whatever when she and my sister made a "fake band" and installed me as their manager. The band had a real guitar and "fake drums", and nothing's happened from that, although an e-group of it actually exists. Second, Samantha calls me this after the talent-manager thing we hatched during the better days of the Kelly conferences; her singing stint at the town fiesta led to this conversation, which led to a surprisingly big singing contest on her show.
Nine: Former head biter Niko. Go figure.
Ten: Dexter. Believe it or not. I got this name in high school, because I was in front of the computer almost all of the time. Yes, Dexter's Laboratory. Rather than I be called "Boy Abunda" because I look like him - and because they did call me that, too...
