Updates...

February has been quite eventful. Starting off with the Radio Partners Inc. party for our clients and advertisers last Feb 1. Held at the Glorietta park, in front of 6750. We had food sponsored by TGI Fridays, Fish & Co., and Italianni’s. Plus live music from artists like Sofia, Pido, Luke Mejares and Jay Durias.

And it was also a chance for us to mingle and make chica with the jocks from our sister stations. We had a great time. Here are some pics…

Yum!

Wave 89.1 had a little get-together dinner at Chilis Greenhills last Feb 7. No special occasion. Just a chance to catch up on each other’s lives and do a little bonding. Sir Bernie and Miss Terry were there with us, too.

As always, it was absolutely fun!

Feb 9. I hosted the event of Mossimo and Cancer Warriors Foundation at the Glorietta Activity Center.

James Auste of CWF
James Auste, founder of Cancer Warriors Foundation.

In celebration of their 10th anniversary, Mossimo partnered with CWF, as a way of sharing their success and blessings. They came out with The Christmas Project Album last December, and 100% of the proceeds would go to the foundation. In just two weeks selling time, they were able to gather half a million pesos! And the Feb 9 event was for that – turning over the proceeds to CWF.

For CWF

Some of the artists who shared their voices for the CD, and other Mossimo Music artists performed that afternoon. The CWF kids and their families were fed and entertained...


CWF kids
I took a picture of these adorable kids. The little girl in the pink dress kept smiling at me and clapping while I was hosting on stage. So I told her I'll come down afterwards to ask for her name and take her picture. Her name is Irene.

CWF kids with Diane Elise

With Retrospect With Papa Luke Mejares
Retrospect and Luke Mejares were just some of the artists who wholeheartedly gave their time and music for the kids, without asking for anything in return.

...and the generous shoppers and diners of Glorietta gave donations and purchased the merchandise and paintings that were being sold by CWF.

CWF Paintings
The paintings done by some of the kids of CWF. Many of these masterpieces were sold that afternoon.

The Courage Wall

Young CWF kid
One of the very young kids enjoying the event. This little boy has cancer. With the help of Cancer Warriors Foundation, Mossimo, and people who care, there is hope for survival and a better future for this young boy.

It was a very successful event. Congratulations Mossimo, and job well done (as always) Tita Mags!

With Tita Mags

I'm not really a kid-person, but I have truly fallen in love with this little girl named Izbel. She’s just absolutely adorable! She loves pink and hates boys. One afternoon when she was at the office, we played chipmunks and put on pretty pink makeup.

Valentine’s Day was wonderful this year.

Pink rose from rye

Rye looked cute when he came to work holding an unadorned pink rose in one hand and M&Ms from Mini Stop in his pocket. His V-Day gifts for me – and a cheery “Happy Valentine’s Day Partna” greeting matched with a big smile.

My beau Alvin surprised me with orange roses delivered to my office...

Flowers from my man

And oh so many surprise gifts when he picked me up for dinner. I had no idea he got me stuff, and I was so touched to find out he bought me a new watch and a Falling In-Love set (perfume, lotion and body wash) from Beauty Bar. Aww… Thanks darling!

My gift for him? I got him a card. Teehee! And I treated him to an international buffet dinner at Discovery Suites' Restaurant 5.

Quiet music
Quiet, romantic music all throughout the night. One old man, his guitar and timeless songs of love. And when he sang "Moon River," I almost cried.

Romantic dinner at Resto 5

It was lovely and absolutely romantic. No crowded tables and panicky waiters. Just relaxed mood, quiet music, candles and roses and well-trained attendants answering to your every whim. Perfect!

V Day at Discovery Suites Love you sweetheart!

Wave on Campus @ St. Paul College Pasig

With Martha, Marcy, Li and our Korean friends :)

January 25 and 26.
The Wave 89.1 crew invaded the walls of St. Paul College Pasig and joined their talent fest and fair entitled "Represent."

We took care of the Dedication Booth. And it served as "training ground" for my students - the High School Radio Broadcasting G.I.F.T. students. They practiced their adlibbing and hosting skills for two days, and with me on the side spinning the music for them. Even if we basked in the scorching hot noon-time sun, we still had a blast!

Krispy Kreme Cuties!

A good reminder for all of us...

My officemate Habs emailed me this, and I swear it made me cry. So I decided to blog it, as a reminder for all of us to value our parents... Read on.

Sa aking pagtanda, unawain mo sana ako at pagpasensiyahan.

Kapag dala ng kalabuan ng mata ay nakabasag ako ng pinggan o nakatapon ng sabaw sa hapag kainan,
huwag mo sana akong kagagalitan.
Maramdamin ang isang matanda. Nagse-self-pity ako sa tuwing sinisigawan mo ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tenga ko at hindi ko maintindihan ang sinasabi mo,
huwag mo naman sana akong sabihan ng "binge!"
paki-ulit nalang ang sinabi mo o pakisulat nalang. Pasensya ka na, anak. Matanda na talaga ako.

Kapag mahina na ang tuhod ko,
pagtiyagaan mo sana akong tulungang tumayo,
katulad ng pag-aalalay ko sa iyo noong nag-aaral ka pa lamang lumakad.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana ako kung ako man ay nagiging makulit at paulit-ulit na parang sirang plaka.
Basta pakinggan mo nalang ako.
Huwag mo sana akong pagtatawanan o pagsasawaang pakinggan.
Natatandaan mo anak noong bata ka pa? kapag gusto mo ng lobo, paulit-ulit mo 'yong sasabihin,
maghapon kang mangungulit hangga't hindi mo nakukuha ang gusto mo. Pinagtyagaan ko ang kakulitan mo.

Pagpasensyahan mo na rin sana ang aking amoy. Amoy matanda, amoy lupa.
Huwag mo sana akong piliting maligo. Mahina na ang katawan ko. Madaling magkasakit kapag nalamigan, huwag mo sana akong pandirihan.
Natatandaan mo noong bata ka pa? pinagtyagaan kitang habulin sa ilalim ng kama kapag ayaw mong maligo.

Pagpasensyahan mo sana kung madalas, ako'y masungit, dala na marahil ito ng katandaan.
Pagtanda mo, maiintindihan mo rin.

Kapag may konti kang panahon, magkwentuhan naman tayo, kahit sandali lang.
Inip na ako sa bahay, maghapong nag-iisa.
Walang kausap.
Alam kong busy ka sa trabaho, subalit nais kong malaman mo na sabik na sabik na akong makakwentuhan ka,
kahit alam kong hindi ka interesado sa mga kwento ko.
Natatandaan mo anak, noong bata ka pa? Pinagtyagaan kong pakinggan at intindihin ang pautal-utal mong kwento tungkol sa iyong teddy bear.

At kapag dumating ang sandali na ako'y magkakasakit at maratay sa banig ng karamdaman,
huwag mo sana akong pagsawaang alagaan.
Pagpasensyahan mo na sana kung ako man ay maihi o madumi sa higaan,
pagtyagaan mo sana akong alagaan sa mga huling sandali ng aking buhay.
Tutal hindi na naman ako magtatagal.

Kapag dumating ang sandali ng aking pagpanaw,
hawakan mo sana ang aking kamay at bigyan mo ako ng lakas ng loob na harapin ang kamatayan.

At huwag kang mag-alala,
kapag kaharap ko na ang Diyos na lumikha,
ibubulong ko sa kanya na pagpalain ka sana ...
dahil naging mapagmahal ka sa iyong ama't ina...
