Uh, mine's not so imaginative. Merdiones comes from my grandfathers' names Merfiori and Dionesio. I had a daughter so that was my biggest frustration, not being able to use their names. Naawa naman ako sa anak ko if I named her Dionesia Marforia. hahaha.

Mondragon was the first company I worked for way back in high school. Not the Mimosa golf course company, but a travel and tours company close to where I lived back then. My official designation was collector but nahihiya yung boss ko na utusan ako lumabas ng opisina because I was only 15 back then. I think I got hired lang kasi naawa siya sa akin looking for a job at that age. So I became an all around gofer boy, timpla ng kape, tagakanta pag may brownout, tagaxerox, tagalinis. Back then, kakalabas pa lang ng DOS computers and most of the employees couldn't figure it out, so ako yung naging computer expert nila. taga wordstar na rin. when I graduated from high school everybody from the office went to the ceremony. Ang dami kong fans club nung turn ko na kunin yung diploma ko haahha. So yeah, may special place sila sakin.
