Of Driving and Radio Stations
Having a special someone whose kilometers away from you has its own perks as well. With her, living in Pasay, and me in Fairview, I always have to drive for an hour or two, just to be with her. But it doesn't bore me at all, especially when driving at night.
The radio has been my best friend, especially when driving alone. I even have my own radio routine at night now.
On weeknights, I listen to Boys Night Out at Magic 89.9. Starting at 6pm, they never fail to make me laugh, and at the same time, learn. They also do public service sometimes by giving people advice and sometimes, sharing their own experiences on the issue. Whenever their topics come up, you will surely relate to every one of it, I assure you.
When BNO ends at 10pm, it's either I switch to Mellow 94.7 (Indy and Marco), especially on relationship Thursdays and secret Tuesdays. Or, I switch to Love Radio 90.7. Yeah, lately, I've been fond of listening to Papa Jack. And I must say, I could always relate to everything they say on the show. I've been learning a lot, on handling relationships, and how to react and act to every situation, may be it good or bad.
When Papa Jack's show ends at 2am, I listen to Crossover 105.1, to get me in the mood. They play jazz on slow jam songs most of the time.
On Saturdays, I listen to Jam 88.3. Starting from 6am to 6pm, they play only OPM songs. Yes, I am a big fan of OPM songs, and you should too! Support OPM! And at night, starting from 7pm to 12am, I listen to Wave 89.1's Quiet Storm, where they play RnB love songs and slow jams. If you're a fan of mushy love songs, then listen to the Quiet Storm. You'll never know what song you'd discover from the show. :)
On Sundays, I listen to Wave 89.1, especially during 12nn to 1pm. They play Reggae songs! :D
So, there. Although, IMO, the Philippine FM Radio Industry lost a big part when NU 107.5 stopped airing a few years ago. From what I remember, there was also a radio station where they play RnB love songs most of the time. I think it was in 107.9. Also, during my Highschool days, there was Kool 106.7, and Campus Radio 97.1 WLSFM. The 'No DJ' station, 95.5 also stopped airing, and lastly, my most favorite radio show of all time stopped airing. The BrewRatz. After migrating and migrating to different radio stations, from 99.5 RT to 92.3 (Now News FM. What a bummer).
But I heard, NU 107 is making its comeback this year. I'm looking forward to it!
RF: I'm not fond of babies talking on the radio, and DJ's with an unusual laughter. :|
