my new pet

Finally, one of my childhood dreams has come true.

Presenting...

my new pet...

pandaaaaaa!

Ain't it ever so cute? I luv it!!! It's so small it can stand on my hand and look at me with those adorable bead eyes. Heeheehee... It now stands on my office desk and watches me while I work.

I'm still trying to think of a name, though... I started looking into Japanese names, but I considered using Chinese for this little one since it did come from Beijing. So far the possibilities are:

Xiao xiao - means "small"
Su Lin - means "a little bit from something cute". Also the name of a panda in San Diego.

Or simply Panda. Go with simple but effective. LOL!

Any suggestions? :)

//EDIT
He now has a name! The suggestions that came in were:
Bruno, Bantay, George, Kot (as in Pandakot), Kekok (as in Pandakekok), K (as in PANDAk), Zebra (kasi black and white), Zhebra (kasi Pilipino, so may 'h' na siningit kung saan), Penda, and Mangix (hindi ko alam kung saan galing to).

But the winning name suggestion is: Coco, as in Panda Coco. Some might get the pun, others might not, but either way, it sounds...fitting...for some reason. It doesn't have any deep meaning, which is strange for me, the one who always picks names for their meanings. Hehe.

The other name that I got a kick out of was the Kekok suggestion, but I will not name my panda that. I allowed people to use that nickname for Coco, though.

Many thanks to my Plurk friends who gave me the suggestions!
