I walked at the sidewalks towards the station. There were several students at the gate, smoking (in Bacolod, when you smoke, you are either a slut, an addict or some you-don't-wanna-know), waiting for their boy/girlfriends, eating Piaya and so on. I passed by the computer shop to check if some of my barkadas were there but it seemed deserted save from the bunch of hi-school brats who escaped from class.
I went up FET Building and climbed three flights of stairs before I arrived at the second door on the left wing. A small signage barricaded the door - Jamie@102.3, NBC Bacolod.
I entered the door and greeted Nong Carmelo who was at the recording room, cleaning the equipments. When I entered the DJ booth, I saw Trigger Manson tinkering with the console. He was already playing his last song -- The Scientist by Coldplay.
"Ei man, wassup?!" I said as I slumped on the chair across him.
"It was good! Just several boo-boos. Hahaha." He gleefully said. "I did not do the news."
"What?! Why not?!" I asked as I took over the jock seat and fixed the headphones.
"Because I can't find a decent article." he chuckled. I shrugged as I inserted John Rzeznik's I'm Still Here in CD1, Filter's Take a Picture on CD2, Finch's acoustic Letters To You in Mini-Player 3. There goes my playlist for the next fifteen minutes.
4...3...2...1
I pushed the On-AIR button.
"So there goes Coldplay with their hit track the Scientist and you're still locked in your only radio with the right attitude, Jamie102.3, who your radio should be. This is Akira Sky, playing your music until six in the evening. You could call me up at 7091137 though Trigger would be answering the phone." I winked at Chris (that's his real name! He pouted!) "That's right folks. Dial up now and chatter with your hearththrob DJ, cool Mr. Manson. Meanwhile, here is Goo Goo Doll's vocalist, John Rzeznik in the Treasure Planet's official soundtrack, I'm Still here only in Jamie@102.3, cool is our industry."
I pushed the OFF-AIR button and fell down into laughter as Chris jabbed me in the shoulders. Haha! He for one does not like to answer the phone because he has lots of gay stalkers. LOLZ! I took off my headphones as I checked the crossword puzzle for the day.
RRinnGG!
I looked at Trigger and he rolled his eyes desperately. The phone did not stop ringing.
