all sniffs and boo-hoos. can't let go. yet.

RIGHT NOW, IT'S RAINING. REAL HARD.

Is it some sort of sympathy from the heavens? SIGH. As much as I would love to stop crying, I find it so hard to resist. When you've shared a bond with people, it would just be so hard to accept the fact that THE THING THAT BONDS YOU ALL has to end, especially when you've become like a family.

Geez, net-surfing only added up to my today's emo-ness, seeing the newly-edited wiki article about DWRT FM, and the mean comments from hate posters from Pinoy Exchange. Maybe I don't hang around the booth a little more frequent than I should that's why I know little about the issues, but still, I feel terribly sad because Campus and 99.5 are now, like, divorced.

Last night, we received a text message from sir John Hendrix, saying the Campus format is no longer associated with 99.5, and that Aircheck is suspended until further notice. OH DEAR. It really is over.

Melodramatic as it sounds, I really couldn't sleep well that night. The thought kept bugging me. The efforts of our mentors were put in vain. The enthusiasm in bringing Campus back in the radio scene is now but a history. And speaking of history, history got itself repeated. And it's a much sadder thought. :(

Upon waking up, I wanted to force myself to believe that it was all a nightmare. But no, it was reality. They say Campus was not able to do well with the sales and ratings. I don't know much about the business side of radio broadcasting, but would it be too much to ask if Campus stayed for a few more months? It's only been what, five months?

It's so sad. Especially when I remember all the fun that we had, working as the Campus Air Force. All the midnight boardworks, the pronunciation bloopers, the pizza galore with sir Joe Spinner.. Darn it, makes me cry some more. Especially when I think of the efforts of the legendary DJs who I never thought I'd be able to work with.

From Campus, 99.5 will be back to it's original format, RT. As for the Campus Air Force, again, history. That of course goes the same with us aircheckers. It's depressing to think that just when we became so attached with Campus, it just suddenly fades . . .

Oh well. We just can't let go just yet. Might take time. And maybe, hard partying, just to forget all the sadness. Videoke party? Booze galore? What have you? Haha.

Like what TJ and Janna mentioned in their blog entries of the same topic, we mustn't miss out on expressing our gratitude to our leaders - JOHN HENDRIX, JOE SPINNER, JIMMY JAM, TRIGGERMAN, JAYBEE, PIPER, ALEX.. Goes the same to the DJs who taught us lots of stuffs as well, and became our dear friends, too - BOYTOY, BIG Z, ZACK ATTACK, DJ RAMON BAUTISTA, DJ ANGEL, DJ TADO. We are so gonna miss hanging out with you guys.

Campus 99.5 will always be the number one hit music station in Metro Manila. *Ang umangal sasapakin ko! Haha. :)

This is your sweet, thoughtful and chubby airchecker HEYZ, signing off.ö

delayed telecast

Opo, super delayed na. Antagal na kasi simula nang magpost tayo di-ne. Anyways, maraming hindi naikwento dito na mga nangyari sa 4-1 simula nang unang araw ng klase. Ang mga nakakatawang karanasan kay Dr. Garcia sa aming klase sa Digital Broadcast Production (siguro isang araw maglalaan tayo ng isang entry para ikwento yan, hehe), ang powerpointish reports sa Film Aesthetics ni Dean Soriano, ang mga komikong karanasan ni Maam Ruby Gapasin sa aming Broadcast Journalism, ang napakapayapang Peace Com with Maam Mila dela Costa, ang mga lessons of wisdom mula kay Dr. Divine Pasumbal sa Broadcast Relations & Promotions, ang nakawiwindang na assessment exam kay Sir Don sa CommTech (44% passed sa klase; partida iniba pa ni Sir ang oras kasi na-late sya, tapos 30mins. lang exam), at ang huli ay ang aming pinakamamahal (sarcastic yan, hehe) na propesor sa Ecology (new faculty sya sa College of Science; na dapat sana ay makikipag-dialogue ang klase sa kanya ngayon dahil sa mga isyu-isyu pero di natuloy dahil wala sya, nasa college week daw nila) na si Sir Adrian Guinto.

At parang gusto ko raw na palihim na mag-seat in sa klase ni Maam Jeanie sa Film, haha! Sa mga ok jan, ang klase nya ay tuwing Sabado, 12pm onwards sa AVR..

Heto namang si Vernon Carlo Parreño ay di paaawat sa pagpapakita ng talento, aba'y akalain mong pasok sya sa Majestic 12 ng COC Idol 2008? O diba, from joining Mr. COC 2007, ngayon naman ay hetong COC Idol naman ang kinakarir, idol! Atin syang suportahan sa July 31, Thursday, 6pm sa COC Lobby.

Samantala, next week nga ay COC 7th Foundation Anniversary Celebration na, pagkatapos na pagkatapos ng SONA 2008 (na sya nga pala ay iku-cover naten para sa BroadJourn) sa July 28.

Bilang finale sa post na ito, hayaan nyong lagyan natin ng konting kontrobersya sa pamamagitan nitong nakuha kong bulletin post sa friendster na galing kay former COC professor Sir Harold Palad:

Subject:	Legacy Part 1
Message:	There are people who thought they are good, coz they obey the rules of their culture. There are others who rebel just for the sake of being different. There are others whom simply goes with what is in flow. Some let life pass by. Hanged up and dry. Struggles everyday just to live the day and hope there's tommorow. Others live in fear not for loosing their lives but from how others will look at they've live. The self righteous, the rebel without a cause, cowards, no sense of identity, strugglers, hypocrites... Naalala ko tuloy, may administrador na nagalit sa akin kasi long hair ako. Santo daw ang hinahanap sa unibersidad na iyon... gusto ko matawa kasi ang nagsasalita sa harap ko bakla (no offense sa mga kabaro nya). May adminstrador na naman na nagalit sa akin kasi mayabang daw ako. Gusto ko ulit matawa kasi lagi nya pinagmamalaki na nakarating daw sya sa "Europe at sa Paris." May isa pang administrador na nagalit, bastos daw ako, "Uy! di ba may hinada ka sa CR ng mga lalaki?" Meron pa! pero sa part 2 ko na lang ikukuwento... I wrote not to say I'm self righteous. He who has not sinned cast the first stone!!!!

Hayan, well, although may mga wrong grammar (sensya na, OC kasi ako eh), kapansin-pansin ang mga taong pinatutukuyan ni Sir.. hehe, hindi ko pwede sabihin kung sino yang mga nabanggit nya, hahaha! Kayo na lang bahal mag-decipher, hehe.. Anyway, aabangan ko ang susunod na installment nito. Kayo rin, ok? haha

PS: First time nga pala nating maglalagay ng ordinary/personal video sa BBrC159 VIDEO CENTER, ang eksena ni Gary sa corridoor, at napag-isip-isip ko na ring ilagay lahat ng kahalintulad na mga video simula noong first year pa tayo. Abangan nyo yan, well ito muna pang-buena mano:

Joga Scandal

In tradition of the Edryan Scandal, we bring you the Joga Scandal! This is kinda late, but it's better late than never! Here's a video of Joga demonstrating his vocal prowess at work. He's a call center agent.

We're Officially 4-1D!!

Just this May 14, 2008, the RC3-1D pips have crowded the campus grounds to take part in the fourth year enrollment. Through text messages (both Smart & Globe users), the class was notified of the said schedule. Adrian & Gary (Smart users) were not aware of the schedule so they were thankful for the text message.

After paying The Communicator pub fee, signing the student council sheet, and being encoded, they proceeded to the Main to settle their accounts. Most of whom, after certain attempts, have been able to pay easily through their connections (I won't tell, haha).

And so, now, the class of BBrC159 is officially this year's BBrC Fourth Year Section 1, or BBrC IV-1D. Congratulations guys! See you on June 9.
