It was on a Thursday like today when Baliling had to stop from sweeping because her water broke. According to her, it was one hot, windy afternoon when I burst into this world, crying my lungs out and looking like a boy. LOL.
Who would have thought that I'd grow to be a girl and a fair-skinned girl at that?
I am not aware of a famous celebrity that shares birth date with me. But when I made a Google search, I found out that Gwen Stefani, Neve Campbell and I have the same birthday. Thus, I was not named after any celebrity. Instead, I was named Merdeka (with an "h" at the end to make my name Christian sounding), which means freedom in Malay. How I got that name? You may read it here.
Being born on October 3, here is a take on my personality, which is uncannily close to the truth. ;)

ReplyDeleteI like that name...it has so much character in it...and the meaning, I like that a lot.
ReplyDeleteIt's really something that we get to know what our names mean. Me, I named my kids according to meaning whether literally or wit somebody that means to me. I guess, our parents did the same. and yes, the day we are born speaks closely of the characters we read about in astrology...nice meeting u Merdekah.
