Revelation: mask, off!

Categorised as Internet, Personal

I look around… And I see that online aliases are no longer popular. Here and there, bloggers are dis­play­ing their real names and I’m sort of “stuck” with my alias from 2002, and it’s getting into me.

So, here’s the rev­el­a­tion of the day: Cheryl Sun. That’s my name “offi­cially released” on the site. I didn’t like “Cheryl” because it started with the big fat “C” and it made me feel like a sphere. I couldn’t be a snowman because I don’t have white skin, and chocolate snowman’s just plain retarded.

Some friends started calling me “RylRyl” back then, and since I was into the series Anne of Green Gables, I decided to take up Anne’s daughter’s name “Rilla”. I sort of got turned off now because there’s a site named GorillaRilla.Com. Just a note though, RylRyl is not cute, do not call me that.

I don’t mean to say those calling me Rilla should now call me Cheryl. I just present you with more than one option now.

Well, as I’m blogging about my real life and I have my real pho­to­graphs all over the place, it feels more com­fort­able without a mask over my identity. But I’m not going to replace “Rilla” with “Cheryl” every­where on the site because searching “Cheryl” on Google won’t display my site on the first page of results.
