The CSB Experience 2: The Big Z and the Big Reveal

The Big Z

        At first I thought I was hallucinating when I saw someone awfully familiar stepping inside the classroom where I was in and where he was welcomed by my professor. Then it happened again the week later when it happened again.

       Turns out I was right, he's actually the baritone-voiced Joshua Z of 99.5 RT or Zahn Paul Yu in real life.

       When news broke out that Sir Henry Bolo was about to leave town, he named Sir Yu as our section's Sondesn prof for the rest of the term. A lot of us were saying a lot of things like:

 "Magaling kaya siya?"

"Mabait siguro siya, 'no?"

"Nagbibigay kaya siya ng one hour break? Ehehehe..." 

One thing's for sure, all of us in DMA1 are headed into the right direction!

     On our first day under Sir Zahn, we pick up where we left off like knowing Sony Soundforge's family of audio editing software programs and friends (Pro Tools, Vegas Pro, Adobe Audition, etc) as well as getting oriented on the fx capabilities of the abovementioned programs. After the half-hour break, we were then directed to do a rendered version of our exisiting sound files we recorded ourselves.

The Big Reveal

      The funny thing though is that, just as how Joshua desribed it how small the world really is when he found out, turns out we actually knew each other way back as fellow PEXers from PinoyExchange.com. When I found out that my prof's going to be Joshua, I was really excited because I finally got have the opprotunity to meet one of the "living legends" of FM radio as some would put it.

      He shared to me that since RT has grown to become a sort of an institution in radio, people would likely revolt if any aspect of 99.5 is changed. Something that did happen when the owners changed RT into HiT FM then later to Campus 99.5 before reformatting back to RT.

        Throughout the duration of the break, we discussed a lot of things radio-related. At first I thought he might laugh at me on how he would react if he finds out I'm j5bata. Turns out, I was wrong. :D

       Glad I met the cool dude. He's actually a pretty nice guy on and off-air. Now, I'm pretty much looking forward every week for his Sondesn class!

The CSB Experience 2: Good Luck To Thy Journey

          A lot of us were shocked when news broke out that Sir Bolo was leaving the country. He accepted a very promising job in broadcasting in Singapore. That means he had to leave his current job in CSB and leave a lot of the classes under him in limbo. But it looked like he thought of a good plan such an event like would offer.

       Last Feb. 23, we were supposed to have our midterms with Mr. Zahn Yu serving as a substitute for Sir Bolo (he was in Singapore that time) but things got awry beyond anyone's control except PGMA's when she turned the 23rd into a national school holiday. Fortunately, the next Monday would serve as our midterms under Sir Bolo while at the same time our last session under him.

    Sad but we all have to accept the reality that nothing's permanent in this world. What we ought to do now is support sir's new ventures and hope for the best.

Thanks for the memories sir!

More Than A Year Na Pala...

[Patagu-tago mode...]

     Calling out to my four-some look-alike geeks ehehehe. I know kung sinu-sino kayo, hindi niyo lang alam na kayo pala ang tinutukoy ko.

       Medyo masaya ako ngayon kasi lagpas na isang taon nung nakilala ko kayong apat na kahit magkaiba sa iba't ibang paraan ay iisa ang parehong interes. Isang interes na natutunan kong mahalin.

     Siyempre nauna na dito iyung isa na pumunta minsan sa Multiply ko. You're very much of a rebel, a person with a cause. Minsan medyo over pero may sense rin kasi nagbibigay ka lang ng opinyon. Masyado ka nilang minamaliit pero wala silang pinagkaiba sa ating lahat kasi entitled tayo sa ating mga views at opinions. At sa lahat ng pagkakataon ay ikaw ay nasa tama, in the sense na may punto ka na hindi nila maintindihan.

      Susunod naman ay isa na alam kong frustrated ngayon sa kanyang bagong kabanata ng  buhay niya pero kahit papano ay nakakahanap pa rin siya ng time para sa kanyang sarili. Hehehe, medyo mahirap kang i-describe pero masasabi ko lang na ikaw ang isa sa mga tao na talagang nagbuka sa mga mata ko sa kakaibang mundong pinasukan ko.  You somehow managed to pull it through the hardships of being a part of the 'higher ups' with fail but somehow  you were able to make friends with your idols, something I'm always afraid of doing if I have the opportunity. Your take on life always amaze me, your words of encouragement and wisdom never fails to help me when I'm down.

                One...two...three...four. Di kapanipaniwala ang mga ginagawa mo. Something of a hobby that became a lifelong passion, a passion shared by many. Despite how busy you must be now, you'd always find a time to count the songs that come out in every chart aired on every medium available. Other than that, we somehow shared a liking towards a network most often underestimated because of its affiliation to a bigger one. Hindi mo lang siguro alam pero kungdi dahil sa yo, malamang ay forever adik ako sa mga bagay na iilan lang ang nakakaalam. Ngayon, at least, lumago na ang mga interes ko, mga interes na meron din mula sa mga kaibigan ko sa eskuwela.

       Last but not the least ay ikaw na naging guro ko sa maraming paraan na di ko akalain ay posible. Nilaan mo di lang sakin kungdi sa iba ang daan para malaman namin ang kasaysayan ng mundo na kung tawagin natin ay telebisyon at radyo. Dala na rin sa pagiging 'history buff' ko, ang dami dami kong natutunan mula sa iba't ibang taong bahagi sa industriya na dati kang naging bahagi. Halata na magkaiba ang mga pinapanigan natin, hindi ito hadlang para ma-share natin ang kinahihiligan, mula sa palabas hanggang sa discussion ukol sa kasaysayan. Hanep talaga ang kaalaman mo sa nakaraaan! Hanga ako sa bagong hamon na iyong kinahaharapan sa buhay, basta wag ka lamang susuko dahil siguradong nasa likod mo ang mga mahal mo sa buhay. Continue what you've started and you'll go a long long way! (Teka, commercial ata ng Petron iyung binanggit ko ah?)

        Hindi binabase sa kung gaano kahaba ang mga nasusulat kong paragraph sa inyo para lang malaman niyo kung gaano ako nagpapasalamat na nakilala ko kayo. Kahit na hindi pa tayo harapang nagkikita, isa lang ang sigurado. Utang ko sa inyo ang lahat nang pagbabago na pumasok sa buhay ko noong nakaraang taon.

Maraming, maraming salamat sa inyong APAT!

Reality and Dreams: "Ako" Nag-uso ng 'Single Ladies' bago Pa 'To Sumikat!

      Waghh! I happened to have a dream about this last night other than "Derailment 2". It was a mix of time-travel and comedic boohoo! I don't know why I'm getting these freaky dreams in the first place...As if me having premonitions are not enough :(

    So okay: In my dream, I was time traveling back in the past, maybe around 2-3 years ago. Destiny's Child was by then an obsolete girl group and Beyonce was set to do DreamGirls. I, somehow, had knowledge of the future but was stuck in my pre-college self.

   Inside my house, I saw my sister watching Beyonce on TV, who was doing "Oh oh oh oh oh ohoho....Oh oh oh oh oh oh hohoho!". She was kinda amused by the music video because of the silly choreography that the singer is doing. This kinda gave me an idea.

"Ate..."
"Yes..."
"Alam mo ba iyung 'Single Ladies'?"
"Ano 'yun?"
"Bagong kanta ni Beyonce pero di pa eto napapalabas sa TV iyung music video niya"
"Ows?"
"Nakita ko to kaya sa Youtube! Nakakatawa grabeh!"
"Sige nga, ano iyung kanta doon?"
"Oh heto...Pati dance steps pakikita ko sayo!"

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies

Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
Decided to dip and now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me

I'm up on him, he up on me
Don't pay him any attention
Just cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Got me tighter in my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup
I can care less what you think

I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn and now you gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

Don't treat me to the things of the world
I'm not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve

Here's a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms, say I'm the one you own
If you don't, you'll be alone
And like a ghost Ill be gone

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up, oh, oh, oh

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, see? It's sooo weird!

The CSB Experience 2: Habang Nakahiga, Nagmumukhang Lumilipad!

          Buti walang nakakakita sa'kin na may kakaibang suot. Much more kung walang nakahalata na may suot ako beneath my green-striped shirt I was wearing the whole day! Hehehe!

       I was even lucky that not one of the people I know came crashing inside A1114 kung saan ginaganap iyung photoshoot na ginagawa namin ng ka-partner ko. That would have been embarassing, kung hindi man fatal!

     I might gonna tell you what I was wearing but definitely I might post some pictures of me modeling for my groupmate's photoshoot (for Portrait that is). Embarssing pero siyempre hindi masama kung ipapakita ko rin sa inyo. Baka may kinabukasan ako bilang modelo, bwahahahaha! (:ehem:)

      Ah, basta! Habang nakahiga, nagmumukhang lumilipad!
