This blog is inspired by my new best friend when one day we exchanged through texts the names our grandmothers and parents used to call us at one point.
Here is the list of names I have been called by my grandmother (mother's side), my relatives, friends and second family.
1. Maria Severina - this is my full name. A little bit of history (I hate history.. hahaha!) where I got my name. My mom is pregnant with me; one day my lola (Lola Candida- my grandma who I love so much!) told my mom "Mamatay na lang ako wala pang nagmamana ng pangalan ng nanay ko." My mom's reply: "Sige ma, pag babae ito (holding her tummy where I was!) papangalanan kong Severina." So November 23, 1979.. I was born and my mom just added Maria to the name she promised my lola. And from then till now, I'm Maria Severina Andrade Llanto.
2. Rhina - this is my nickname which my closest friends and co-teachers call me.
3. Neng - this is I guess the most common lambing name I'm being called till now by my relatives in Batangas and my Kuya Paolo.
4. Vina - this is what my Lola Dida used to call me. It's a sosyal version of "Binay" (the nickname of my great grandma).
5. "SEVERINA!" - in a high pitched, strong and firm voice. Before I was so scared to hear this cause I only do when my mom is mad at me. Now, I miss hearing it!='(
6. Diwata - this is what some of my high school classmates used to call me because of my very long wavy hair.
7. Bereng - this is what my best friend from college (2net) called me when we were one day making fun of names and what we would be called when we become lolas already. It was funny though because during the same year she gave me that name, one typhoon was named Bereng! Hay naku, just imagine our laughs that time!=))
8. Boo - from Monster's Inc., cause she looks cute and wears pink, she was associated with me by Pato from my second family. So they called me that. Juliane, their 6-year old cousin, calls me Teacher Boo!=)
9. Boocha - it's an evolution of "Boo", given by Ducky inspired by the car from a cartoon they watch - Booboo-chacha = Boocha!
10. Turkey - if you noticed, there is Pato and Ducky.. and I'm Turkey. Plus Mommy Goose, we are the Bird Family!=)
11. Little Sister/ Lil Sis - this is what my Ate calls me, but my ate is way younger than I.. haha!=))
12. Ms. Pink - for the simple reason that I love pink! That's what my co-teachers call me sometimes, especially when they borrow school supplies and other things and they don't get surprised but fascinated how I get to have those stuff in colored pink! hehe..=)
13. Pillow - given by crunch because I'm soft and nice to hug.
14. 6 - 11 - 14 - Numbers that my ate refer me to cause they have significant meaning.
In addition, here are other names i remembered and my friends reminded me of after reading the first post of this blog..
15. black beauty - this is what my grade school friends and choir members used to call me because of my complexion.. At first I was hesitant to be called as scuh because "Black Beauty" is a horse and I don't like to be a horse.. hahaha..=p
16. Tisay - ironic as it may seem, but our suki in the market who sells vegetables gave me this nickname as his way of teasing me. And until now, though we rarely see each other, but everytime we do, he still calls me Tisay.. I miss you Mang Danny!
17. Sev - this is the new name my new best friend gave me. It actually reminds me of Snape (I don't like him) in Harry Potter series. But its better than severe.. hahaha!=))

Woow... thats really a lot of names.. haha.. I was aware of some, but I didn't know there were more.. haha.. It's really amusing to know that one person could have loads of names. Some of the names made me smile 'cos they were really amusing.. hehe.. like "Diwata" I didn't know you were called that.. =D
But like you said, even if you have lots of names, theres just one person who we all love and enjoy being with.. and thats you.. Ms.Maria Severina Andrade Llanto, not only the best bio teacher you can have, but also a very nice person and friend =D
