RADIO: Small Waves, Giant Change

Radio is the medium to transfer sounds or signals that carries information. It has been more than fifty years since people use these tools of medium to share information. Radio provides a view of evolution and a new perspective in using it as a communication tool for social change. Since the invention of the radio, began the evolution of human communication.

Radio as we commonly know as a medium for entertainment. What’s new and what’s hot in the music scene. I usually listen to FM stations every weekends for leisure. But radio isn’t about entertaining but it also plays a very important medium for some communities. It has become their watchdog. Their eyes against replicated government. Their shield. Their voice. Because of radio, now people can relay information that the communities needs. And it can educate against illiteracy for some people in the third world.

For instance, Bush Radio of Cape Town in South Africa played a very important role in the community. Because of peoples involvement and participatory, it became the foundation of their community. Concern in Health rate in Africa, as we all know is tremendous. Bush Radio helps educating people about AIDS\HIV. They have talk programs about Health, and even projects to cater for the youths. And crime in South Africa is also an issue to be tackled. Bush radio became the medium to settle few gang crimes. And a special program for the prisoners rehabilitations.

One more powerful instance that’s shows how radio changes life is how it change our country. The people power of Edsa revolution. People wouldn’t have the power and guts to go to edsa to revolt without the power of Radio. Radio affects life. And it became the medium to challenge the expression of government system in terms of policy and misuse of power.

Evolution began. People voice are now amplified. Yet Radio transmits small airwaves, it can change life. It can sweep a community just like a tsunami. It becomes the power of the people. Indeed, Radio of the people by the people for the people.

R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON (1958-2009)

I am utterly in shock and saddened by what have transpired today. We have lost the greatest to ever do it. If you're not somewhat strucked by this news then you either have no heart or you know nothing about music. He is the King of POP! wait, scratch that. He is MUSIC. period. The music that you all listen today, no matter what genre, whether it be pop, rock, rnb, hip hop, etc etc.. was influenced in one way or another by Michael Jackson. I grew up like millions of others listening to this man's music. I remember as a kid playing his songs over and over and trying to write down the lyrics so i could sing to it after. Who hasn't tried doing the moonwalk or grabbing the crotch screaming HEEHEE at the top of their lungs LOL. So many memories. but yeah, my heart goes out to the Jackson family. You will be missed but never forgotten. May you rest in peace.

pouring it all out!

thinking of you makes me wanna smile. . .

you always left me staring at the stars. . .

wishing that someday, you and i would be clinging each others hands for eternity.

you're my jai ho. my destiny.

i know one day, this wind will blow me away to lead me to you. :x

point of no return

to play the game of love... you have to take risks.

take risks.... to face the point of no return.

this time there's no turning back....
