I was reading through Perry's when i heard from Jam djs that they're having this average joe's playlist segment where any listener can name three songs which they will be playing. I thought maybe i could participate in this program of their's and so i started keying in my phone the songs i wanted to be aired. But i realized that because i have not been listening to the radio lately, i have forgotten the number to which you can send your text messages to. So i waited for the djs to recap their station's contact details. And, just like an answer to my dilemma, they announced that they would be prioritizing entries from calls instead of those from text messages. Ok.

It wasn't easy naming my three songs because, although i have numerous favorites, my mind still blanks out trying to recall what songs those are. And then i heard the scientist (coldplay) play, which means i cannot request for that anymore. Dishwalla popped into my head and so i decided to have counting blue cars as one of my three picks. Then i remembered name (googoo dolls), shortly followed by dare you to move (switchfoot). Contented with the songs i chose, i was ready.

After learning from the djs that i should rather call than just text, i heard them play dare you to move. Another song lost, huhu. Instantly i added the distance (evan and jaron) to complete my list. Now for the call.

I tried recalling their landline, and when i dialed the number in my head, i ended up with a fax tone! Good thing the djs started babbling about people calling all at once and so nobody's getting through their line. I started wondering, maybe it wasn't really destined for my to have my songs aired. Come to think of it, 2 songs i like got played already even if i haven't requested for them so i thought maybe i will get to hear my songs thru the request of others.

Then finally the djs recapped their number! immediately i dialled (because i thought if i dialled really fast, i might get through). And i heard a ring! but i didnt believe that i could get through that easy so i hung up... I heard the djs talking about having a caller on the line already but when they picked the fone up---dialtone. So that was me. Sorry...

I called right after that (feeling guilty), they answered, and i heard my voice on air.

djs: hello
me: hi
male dj: who's this?
me: erma
male dj: and where are you calling from?
me: rizal
female dj: so what are you doing right now? school... blah blah?

mdj: ok edna *who the heck is edna?!?! i tried correcting him but he went on blabbing... whatever.*
djs: so what are your songs?
me: counting blue cars, name...
mdj:
fdj: yes, name as in pangalan! by googoo dolls! *thank you for understanding fdj!*
me: yes! that's it! and my last song will be the distance by evan and jaron.
fdj: yes! evan and jaron.
djs: blah, blah..
me: thanks!

After hanging up, mdj started doing an intro while explaining that he's not hearing right (well, actually yes), saying some more about edna, and finally fdj saying...
"erma. its erma."

Thanks again for giving light to mdj.
