Mom named me Noel because I was born ’roundabouts Christmas. However, there’s some debate concerning how the name should be pronounced. Some say “nohl”, some “no-whll”. In any case, I would say that my name should not be pronounced “no-elle“, as this is a girl’s name, and I’m a guy.

Since it means “Christmas”, I have kind of a seasonal name. Am I Christmas-y all year round? Do I wear green and red all the time and wear a parole around my neck? Nope. I’m more of a Groundhog’s Day kinda guy (With a little American Thanksgiving sprinkled on top, and a dash of Easter. Maybe some Valentine’s Day thrown in…) Like a groundhog, I pop my head out once in a while to see what’s going on, and continue doing my own thing. (And I’m brown-colored)

That’s it. Ako si Noel. Basta yun lang. nicetameecha.
