As DJ...
It's nice to go back, not just earn a little but to express myself as well, to my passion - radio disk jockeying. It's not just about the songs that I was playing but the people who admired me in listening as well. Some asked personal questions about my life. Others even got my cellular phone number.
Every time I reminisce the events during the length of my being 'DJ', I could also recount my character before that differs from now. Before, I was really timid. Unsure to people around, like no one could be trusted. Just silent in the corners. But it is different now, I am a little bit outgoing. Cracking jokes, bragging, and joins people though they are not totally my friends.
Everything have practically changed everyday. My stay in the radio station before was silent, to think that I am working as a DJ. That's why I dubbed myself as "shy DJ of Dumaguete". The one and only. But the voice and talking before would not tell that I was shy then. I suppose everybody else is not like me, right?!
My time spots were not even under my control. I have four until six in the morning and 12 noon to four in the afternoon shifts, everyday. The station manager asked me if that's okay with me but I just nodded. Not to mention other take over spots from other DJs. It was all about nodding everything.
But now, I could proudly say that I can reason and choose what I want and need. By the time that I will come back on air, I should be more lively and passionate to my missed and loved work. I should enjoy my stay every single music that I would be playing just what my supposed listeners would expect from me.
I'll be back very soon! Promise!

Hi DJ Rem,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to know a DJ. Where you from SR95 in Dumaguete? How long have you been DJing?
I thought I had the worst timeslots ever, I was like signing on at 5 to 10 am and then 8 pm to 10 pm. there were times that I get to sign off at 12 mn.
Imaging that? I was like the sign on and the sign off guy at our station!
But you're doing great. I hope to hear an aircheck from you one of these days.
Best of luck!
