Writer's Block: On the Airwaves

If you had your own radio or television station, what would it be called and what kind of programming would it play?

View 514 Answers

Haha. My mom and I talked about this in the early days, when my college life wasn't that hectic.

I'd call my TV and radio stations "The Hub". Haha. My mom and I were talking kasi about having our own building before, since some relative on my dad's side used to have a building of his own. As in yeah, may Braga Building pala dati. Anyway, my mom told me a story about her officemate, whose mom used her and her husband's last names to name their own building. So my mom thought na if she'd have a building built on our land, she'd call it The HuB, for Hubilla and Braga. Haha.

Siyempre, I liked the name, so I'm gonna use it for my TV and radio stations. Plus, it sounds hip and modern. Haha.

My TV station would be tipong Velvet-Lifestyle Network-HBO (haha)-Star World, because that's my format, and my radio station would either be something like Home Radio, 99.5RT or RJ 100. Haha.

Most Sakto Question of The Week.

So, I was left all alone downstairs after my TV prod, since busy nga kaming lahat at marami pang gagawin. Anyway, sa sobrang tagal ko, Ma'am Justiniani and Kuya Louie went downstairs na to turn off the lights.

More kabagalan from me ensues.

Sa sobrang tagal ko, since ang dami kong dala, feeling ko medyo nakokonsensiya na si Ma'am.

She asked, "Eunice, wala bang nagmamahal sa 'yo?"

(Context: Kasi daw kung may nagmamahal sa 'kin, tinulungan daw nila ako. Actually, if yun yung basehan, meron naman. Ang dami ko lang talagang gamit.)

Seriously, out of all the questions I've been asked in my entire life, yun lang ang katangi-tanging nag-on ng emo button ko.

I'm a little fragile because of the stress in my life! Wala namang ganyang tanong! HAHA.

This day started out in the worst way possible, but it ended well enough.

the things you find on the Internet.

Apparently, there's this thing called "The Museum of Broken Relationships."

I stumbled across the entire thing while reading some fan fic, and it's actually quite an interesting concept.

Basically, it's a cathartic process: you send stuff from a past relationship to the traveling exhibition, in the hopes of claiming your life back and letting go of that person who broke your heart. Items on the exhibit include a Nokia phone, handcuffs (I don't wanna know what happened to them, honestly, and it'd be cliched if the person who had them was tied down in his/her last relationship.), a perfectly decent white dress, and an axe. Seriously.

Story behind the axe? Guy and Girl broke up. Guy buys axe, chops down girl's furniture at his flat. Girl comes back for furniture, now just pieces of wood. Guy turns axe into "a therapy instrument."

See it all here: http://www.brokenships.com/

What's next? The Museum of Disappointment?

It really makes you wonder what makes up art now. Although to be fair, art is partly supposed to be therapeutic. It's just a little too personal for me. I love the site, though, and would be interested to see how the exhibit would look like if it was brought to the Philippines.

Makes me wonder what my friends would add to the exhibit.

If you're my friend, and you've broken up with anybody at any point of your life, what would you add to the exhibit?

Fair warning: Comment at your own risk.

super random thought.

What we have to do is make sure that people take care of themselves first, so that they can have the grace and the strength to take care of others as well.

Not only random, quite possibly political. Good day, world. :)
