The word "ion009" have become my nickname for about 9 years. I started using this nickname when i was in Highschool (SMA TN). Because my school is a boarding school, we need to have a unique initial to mark every single items that we have, so that each can identify their own stuff. Every items that we have need to be marked by that initial. It was simply everything we had; shirts, trousers, T-shirts, shorts, shoes, socks, ties, hats, boots, bags and not to mention underwear. The initials should be one word consist of 3 letters in the alphabet taken from our names. My first initial was PYP (Parlindungan Yonathan Pangaribuan). But after a while one of my friend complain to me that my initials sounds like "papaya"..hahhahaha..so he suggested to rename it. and then when we were taking a bath, the word "ion" came. Taken from my middle name, "YONathan". Thats when the first time i started using the word "ion" as my nick name.
“ion” in Greek means traveler/adventurer/voyager (read this from my High school’s physics book). This is why the electrically charged atoms that can be move or accelerate, was named ion. “ion” can also mean:

• In physics, an ion is an elementary particle or system of elementary particles with a net electric charge, such as an atom which has lost or gained an electron. In computing, Ion is a window manager for the X Window System.
• In ancient Greece, Ion of Chios was a writer and philosopher.
  In ancient Greek philosophy, Ion is a dialogue by Plato, between Socrates and Ion, a reciter of epic poems, see Ion (Plato).
• In ancient Greek mythology, Ion was the son of Xuthus and Creüsa, daughter of Erechtheus.
  In ancient Greek theatre, Ion is a play by Euripedes on the relationship between humans and the gods, in which Ion is instead the son of Apollo.
• The Saturn ION is a compact car sold by General Motors.

So, why "ion009"? Well that time I was a big fan of "James Bond", secret agent 007. And in one of the movies, there were also other secret agent with other code like 006, 008 and so on. Because I was born on the 9th September, so i decided to add 009 behind my nickname. So it becomes "ion009". I even have my own logo.
