may nagpapanggap!!!

there is a phony out there by the name of rafael fenix!!!

please refer to the website http://www.diasporagames.com/heroesrpg/list.html.

for some weird reason i decided to type the phrase "RAFAEL FENIX" in the google tab to see if somebody is mentioning me in the web without my knowledge. First few links referred to some hispanic webpages, and they used the two names seperately. Okay, no biggie.

Saw links to Ned Parfan and Sandy Miguel's blog --- two upcoming writers from out batch in the Thomasian Writers Guild. No biggie.

Then it came up. Some online RPG named heroes has a character named RAFAEL FENIX living in Las Vegas, NV. Fuck!!!

Putangna I thought my name was unique.

No biggie, really; it's not the end of the world kapag may kapangalan ka sa mundong ito. Itanong natin sa isandamukal na John Santos o Reyes o dela Cruz or whatnot. Sa dami ng population natin AND sa dami ng taong nabuhay sa mundong ito it's really too slim of a chance na wala kang kapangalan sa mundo.

Akala ko lang kasi, in the two decades of my existence, isa ako sa "slim chances" na yun.

I wasn't able to find anything in friendster by the name of Rafael Fenix. heck, I saw the name on a gaming site. Hence this must be a kid. And kids normally don't place their real names in friendster. the put something like

*TOOCOOL*

"m@st@hfuhck@h#69"

or some other forms of vandal expression they think identifies their mediocrity.

Now questions of his identity comes into mind: who is he? where does he live? which school did he go to? How is he as a person?

And questions of MY identity come into mind: How different am i from this person?

nakakaaliw Ü it's like making a case study. The case of the Rafael Fenix's. Ü
