Happy Birthday, Boom!

I fondly remember how ecstatic I went hearing Boom greet me over the radio! And even now, I get the same ecstatic feeling, kilig even.

To this date, he remains to be the best male DJ for me. Mark that. :)

I guess it was his show in the morning, with Chinggay that I began to be his fan. I love the mixes he had on air, especially on Wednesdays. Plus, yung mga trivia niya of the songs, such a genius! He has heavily influenced my choice of music and my love for old school stuff. And by old school stuff I mean, those from the wonderful years of 80's and 90's.

I remember scribbling in my diary how Boom went to greet me on air and play my Annie Lennox' Waiting in Vain request. :) And it was because of him that I have come to love the songs Shimmer and Black Balloon. Yep. That kind of stuff and effect on me, Boom.

And because both of us are hoop junkies, it made me love him more!!! I remember just watching the UAAP, even if it's not Ateneo playing, kapag si Boom ang sportscaster and analyst. Siyempre it's a whole lot special if he covers Ateneo game with TJ Manotoc. That's like, Uber, uber, uber, special delight! Because from the screens I can get a good view of my favorite Wesley Gonzales, who by the way is celebrating his birthday today too HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WESLEY!, then there's Boom, then there's TJ! Triple delight right at me! :) I remember Mama being annoyed kasi kahit tapos na ang game, I have to hear, like really HAVE to hear Boom close the game itself!

And ever since he left RX, I must say, RX will never ever be the same without him there. So as Magic, where he stays now. I love how contagious his laugh is, well most of the time, how he giggles on board with Mia, well with Carla now. I have yet to meet him, but for some odd reasons I think of him as such a lady's man. Even his previous partner Fran never lost her fondness of him. Well, there must be something about the man, and his pan de sal abs!

I am all giddy blogging this up, because Boom has been very generous in replying to my greets to him. :) It's your birthday Boom, you're supposed to be the one treated but it turns out otherwise! You are making this day extra, extra special for me. :) Thank you Twitter. As always you never fail me. I get across my favorite people on earth and get the perk of being a part of their virtual lives!

I hope sometime soon I can meet you in person. Probably be a colleague in your sportscasting career. Maybe, be your writer or your PA! Hahaha! Dream on, yesss!

Geez, I am such a fan girl. 

I hope you have a good one today, and like how you say it, it's your birthday, don't let anybody ruin it even yourself!

Love you lots!
