Notice of Name Change! :D

Today, this space in the intertube will be changed from "LaBean's Gazette" to "The LaBean Noise". :D

Why do I change the name? :D Well.. it will have to do with what happened when I was in Mountain View, CA, USA last month. :D

That day, Mr. MonkeyMan took the wrong route, so he had to let me off at Mountain View Caltrain station instead of Sunnyvale's. :D

While I was checking out the Caltrain schedule at the unmanned information booth, a reporter claiming to be from the Mountain View Voice approached me and wanted to interview me! :D

"WHEE!! :D I will be famous!!", I thought to myself. :D

The reporter was Mr. Ed Pereira. He briefly introduced himself and politely asked me whether I was willing to answer a very brief question. :D

I told him, "Oh, but I was not from around this area, not even from this country".

He said, "Oh, it's all the more better, we have international readers too! :)"

So, the interview began! :P

"You know GM is closing down, what kind of car would GM build that you would buy?"

I thought, "Hmm.. I don't even have a driver's license. :D". Nonetheless, I answered, "Because of environmental issues, I would look for a hybrid." :D

He was satisfied with this answer and bid me farewell. :D

The truth was, I was working so hard to not say "A pink car!" :D It was such a struggle to choose between an intelligent answer and a cute silly answer. :D haha

So, here, on Friday, 5th June, 2009, I checked their website and located my mug shot there in their online version!! :D hahah

After the paper was published, I even forced Mr. MonkeyMan to drive me to Mountain View Caltrain station and robbed like 4 or 5 copies of the paper. :D It's free publication after all and I will pass those copies to my friends. :D

Now I wish I am skinnier just so I would look good on newspaper. :D I shoulda also use my online name as "Tickle LaBean" instead of my real name too. :P hahah

If you want to read an online version of the Voice, here is the link to download a pdf.

Oh, The Voice is a very intelligent paper. But my blog was quite mindless silly. :D So instead of "The LaBean Voice", I think the word "Noise" is more appropriate. Hence the new name! :D
