Boffill's WebCrib

I'm sure a lot of you are confused why did I have a screen name of "Fico". I'm going to tell you a story about how did I come up with this screen name. It all started when I went to this Internet Cafe in Davao City to play Counter Strike. The internet cafe was full so I need to wait for my turn to play. While waiting, I am watching this guy who just logged in and change his username to Mephiesto. I said to myself that names starting from letter "M" is cool. So I decided to look for a unique name that I can use when I play Counter Strike and also to chat in MIRC.

A few days later, my mother asked me to go to my auntie's crib in the next subdivision. Since I bow down everytime I walk, I saw this pasta brand named "magnifico". Then I remembered that incident in the Internet Cafe so I said to myself that I'm gonna use this name "magnifico" starting that day. That was like 7 years ago(2000). From then on, I became known in the IRC as magnifico both ChatX and DalNet Server. Because most of my friends here in DalNet calls me "Fico"(short for magnifico), I decided to change my screen name to "Fico". I also use this in all of my usernames in forums where I am active. That's the story of my screen name!

Before I forgot, you may also think that "Boffill" is a screen name, but that's the way how it is. This is actually my real name. Given by my mother when I was born. She got this name from "Angela Bofill" singer of "This Time I'll Be Sweeter", "Tonight I Give In" etc. My mother is just a fan of hers that time so she decided to give me a name "Boffill". My name has a different spelling with Angela's. So to those who is asking why Fico, why magnifico and why Boffill, here is the answer. :)
