Your name is your destiny.
Got a text from Tina.
The name of the driver whose bus was bombed on Edsa this afternoon is MAXIMO PELIGRO.
Seriously.

I feel so bad for laughing at that. Anyone else coming with me in this handbasket?

Sorry, couldn’t help but laugh even though what happened was tragic. Still, it’s a rather cool name… Maximo Peligro… it’s like a name you’d hear from an action movie.

Somehow we all grow into our name. To be sure we can only blame our parents. But, somewhere the Greater Edgar Allan Poe is laughing at our misfortunes.

For real? Reminds me of that character in El Fili, Placido Penitente.

# 1 Ejia — I am slowly raising my hands. I’m at the back of the class, though. I don’t think anyone will notice.

i wasn’t laughing because i was shocked. i believe that people’s names have something to do with their personality. and that name is just absurd.

Sniggers. His parents must have thought it would be fun to tempt fate when they named him Maximo.
According to research, the first letter of your surname may (also) affect your chances. I’m not sure that’s true in the case of Ms JZ.
