Radio Gaga

I have always wanted to be a DJ; the mere thought of it, extremely appealing and resolute.

I remember back in 6^th grade, I played DJ alongside Luigi in a Foundation Day celebration. That one-day affair was really for the books. And yes, that could have been the icebreaker of this still much sought-after dream career.

I may be walking on an entirely different path now, not an inch closer to radio broadcasting, but the wanting, it feels so innate that I would do anything just for a stint. And I’d really like to think I’m just being passionate about it.

Radio has been so much a part of my daily routine and I can’t help but mull over about having to do spiels with my favorite jocks.

Fire away.

BOOM GONZALES

On Demand, Magic 89.9

And I still couldn’t believe myself that I tagged Boom under Magic. Well, he used to be a Monster, that’s why.

Our same ground—love for basketball. I believe he still does UAAP game analyses chores alongside my favorite partner of his, TJ Manotoc. I used to love it when Boom dishes out for the RX Monster’s Riot. His greatest ‘pamana’ to me, having known Fuel’s Shimmer.

Boom’s on his usual slot of the day with Mia, 9-12 pm on Magic. Maybe I should get used to him saying, ‘Today’s Best Music, Magic 89.9’ instead of ‘Manila’s Hottest Monster Radio RX 93.1’.

And if ever Boom and I will ever have to board together, I’d love to do a rundown with him of sports analyses and 80’s music alike.

CHICO GARCIA

The Morning Rush, RX 93.1

My mornings will never be the same without Chico Garcia’s wit.

His timing, very amazing. And when he makes palusot, kahit huli na, lulusot at lulusot pa rin. Just for the sake lang na makalusot siya. Hehe.

His and Dela Mar’s friendship is something I really admire. I mean with having to keep up with each other despite the ‘humps’ along the way, that’s huge. Dela Mar’s quite a person to keep up with I think. And their personal differences, that’s what makes them really appealing.

Chico just has a way to get thru. His smarts, that’s what really makes him interestingly cute. Given the chance to do a stint with him, I’d love to do the TOP 10 Things—never fail to perk up sleeping senses early in the morning!

Radio, it’s more than just background- it’s culture actually.  And I can’t help but love it!
