St. Patricia and Ferninda's "Patrycia"

One last post before I'm going off!!! Hehehe.

St. Patricia is my patron saint :) (Thanks to Dom who has found her!!) I always thought that my baptism name is female version of St. Patrick, but apparently there IS St. Patricia.

Copy-paste about St. Patricia: from http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=202
St. Patricia according to legend, was of a noble and perhaps royal family in Constantinople who fled to Italy to escape marriage and became a virgin consecrated to God in Rome. She returned to constantinople, distributed her wealth to the poor, and then went back to Italy;, where she died soon after, at Naples. She is a patron of Naples, and like St. Januarius there, a vial believed to be filled with her blood reportedly liquefies thirteen hundred years after her death. 

It turns out that her feast day is one day before my birthday!! :D

Umm, but sometimes it's kinda hard to think of my patron saint in times of difficulties coz there's not much info about her..

Anyway, some more trivial about 'Patrycia' behind my name:

1. even though it's my baptism name, I'm not sure whether my mom thought about St. Patricia or female version of the name 'Patrick'

2. the spelling P.A.T.R.Y.C.I.A was meant to make my name unique coz of course people's names are Patricia, not Patrycia

3. this spelling turns out to be confusing. Today I've found a letter from a friend in primary school that wrote:

Dear Ferninda Particia

Last week, I realized that the psychologist that gives workshop in school wrote my name, 

Ferninda Partycia

2 weeks ago,my roommate wrote on her 'love' letter,"Ferninda Patricya"

4. Allan, one of the CG member in Eusoff, called me "Ferninda P" (sounds like 'Ferninda Pee') to make life easier.. grrrrrrrrr..

Maybe I should test my dad and check whether he knows how to spell my name or not :P
