Evolution of the Nickname Story (or Bakit Geno?)

Since college: "Hindi ko nga alam eh, ako daw pumili nun nung bata ako."

Since med: "Pinili ko lang daw yun nung 4 years old ako."

Since this year: "Dati yung tatay ko kasi Gen tawag sa'kin. Tas yung tita ko, Henobeba. Siguro pinagsama ko, kaya noong 4 years old ako sabi ko daw 'Ako si Geno noh!'"

In the Pensieve

SPOILER ALERT!

Harry Potter rose into fame when I was ten years old. It was his first year in Hogwarts, I was in the fourth grade. Everyone at school talked about him, his friends, and their adventures. Items were sold, and quiz bees held in his honor. Put off by the popularity more than not having friends to borrow from, I didn’t read the book, nor watch the movie.
