In the middle of deadlines, I decided to tune in to RX 93.1 online, and get some good music from back home. I realized, Manila has become a melting pot of sorts when it comes to two major genres of music: House and Hip-hop. Okay, and a third: Pop.
During my Cosmo and Seventeen editor years, I got to meet the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Chicane/Nick Bracegirdle, Michelle Branch, and have witnessed countless gigs and amazing performances of both pop artists and under-the-radar but superbly talented musicians.
Going out in New York has proven to be a little bit frustrating, because clubs here seem to be encased in a music time capsule. (Seriously, "One More Time" is old!)
Meanwhile, I'm intently perusing a DJ career (okay, you can laugh now). I'm currently on the lookout for a serious curriculum so I can finally get to the turntables—as a professional. (Look out, Sam Ronson!)
Dreaming and DJ-ing aside, deadlines take centerstage for now.

A little bit of trivia...
In 2002, I trained briefly at NU107 to do the morning news, under the expertise of Joyce Titular a.k.a. J.D. and Zach Lucero (remember, Zach and Joey in the Morning? THAT Zach.)

where did you put that recording sa radio station? i want to listen to it again :-*
Oh dear hahaha! Ayum dunnow... :D
What happened after NU107?
Oh! I went to the States after my training (during the station's hiring freeze) and when I got back, was promoted at Seventeen :) And got a bigger work load... So no more morning news career! But that would've been fun though, except for the waking-up-early part!
Wow! Your stint there sounded so exciting. :) But your heart's still in DJing?
Your other blog's name--Chocolate Soundboard--any relation to that? :D
Oh my gosh, now that you've put it that way, that would've been cool. But no, I meant for 'Soundboard' to actually be 'Sounding board' haha. So now I'm trying to remember if the 'shortcut' was intentional ;)
As for DJ-ing, working in radio is a different kind of commitment, I'm a paper media person at heart (okay, online, too). But spinning gigs would be awesome!
