The Reverse Engineer

Finding out how things work

   Hello there, sir Gabot. Tracked your blog down through that K-Lite entry somewhere in cyberspace, and suddenly (again) I feel bad to have not caught the station in your days since I was but seven years old. But I know I would’ve loved it all the more.

   Sure enough you’re in HIP Publications, and lucky to both of you and Monica. And yet I’ll probably remember you, despite all the lack of memories, for the station you helped build. Exactly what we lost. Oooh.

   (I just realized this isn’t exactly the right place for this one, isn’t it?)

   Oh well. Back to a lack of choice. Hope I could talk to you sometime.

   OMG, a sudden thought came upon me while i was bored here sa training. bigla kung naisip (dahil naubusan na ko ng websyt na iba-browse), kamusta na kaya ang KLITE. So nag google ako. Na miss ko dun esp. ung Night life hosted by little David, Jess d blade and Monica. Grabe, i remember pa summer of 1995 or 1996 un basta 2nd yr hi-skul me nun. Tas ang hilig ko magpuyat at dahil wala pa kong sariling tv sa kwarto at la pa kmi cable nun like na like ko makinig ng radio at dahil d pa affordable ang mga cds nun, radio stations ang enjoyment ko nun. Tas, i remember dahil la me curfew kc nga bakasyon lahat na ata ng late talk show sa mga FM radio (pati nga am pinatos ko na hehehe), nadaanan ko ang k-lite. Sympre dahil sa bata pa ko nun at hilig ko luvsongs at popsongs (un lang kaya ng music range ko that time hehehe), medyo d ko gusto ung mga usual song na piniplay sa k-lite pero dahil narinig ko magagandang boses ng 3, nagkainterest me makinig. Dahil na rin sa very intellectual at very interesting ung 3, na-adik ako makinig. Naalala ko pa mga early callers nila eh puro luv problems ang topics. Tas, i remember ung isang caller na girl, si Simone (korek ba?) basta lagi cia call sa show at nasa cr cia kc bka magising ung partner nia. Ke Simone ko rin narinig ung book na “Day after tommorow” at dahil me intrigue na menention sia sa book, d ko tinigilan hindi makahanap ng copy nun (successful naman ako ). Well, tumagal ang relasyon ko sa Night Life hanggang 2000. 2 beses na rin me nabigyan ng time to go on air sa pangalang ‘Rocky’. Di ko makakalimutan ung pagrerecord ni Monica sa mga episodes ng ‘Friends’ gamit eh betamax pa. Tas ung walang kamatayang paghangga nia or lets say obssession nia ke Jude law *eherm*. Then ung pagkahilig ng 2 guys sa mga TV soundtrack /Anime soundtracks. Yung paglalaro ni Lani (cia kc kasunod sa timeslot) ng take not ha Half life pa uso nun sa mga djs ng magic899. Grabe, dito sa show na to lumawak kaalaman ko tungkol sa mga bagay bagay na d mo makukuha sa mga pangkaraniwang magisip at mabababaw na mga tao. Sa kanila ko nainspire magpraktis mag-ingles hehehe. Sa kanila ko unang narinig yung kantang ‘Pina Collada’ na ginawan ko pa nga istorya. Hay, ung isa pang show sa k-lite na lagi ko inaabangan eh ung ke Anthony suntay kc sobra crush ko cia nung hi-skul ako (nahilig din ako sa PBA nun eh). Hay, d ko maintindihan bakit kailangan mawala ang mga ganyang shows. Dumadami na rin kc ang posers at nagpapaka mainstream ngaun eh all in the name of fame and money. I even remember the last time i participated sa show, Jess d blade asked me what genre ung band ng friends ko. I said they are playing underground/hardcore music like greyhounds , cheese, slapshock, etc. Sabi ni Jess, “oh were not playing those kinds of music”. A week later i heard the station paying “mottaka”. That, i think is a sign na magbabago na ang station at kinabahan na ko dun. Anyway…sa haba ng isinulat ko, isa lnag ang masasabi ko or lets say makakanta ko…May tomorrow be a perfect day, May you find love and laughter along the way. May God keep you in His tender care, ‘Till He brings us together again…
