Wow... Hahaha, let me get you down memory lane , :-) ok I got my break back in 97.... But before I tried auditioning in 91 but was told that I'm not made or cut out for being a jock.... So yes after that I kinda felt like discouraged....and then back in 97 , I was good friends with sheila b! A radio dj in love radio naga, Im always tambay when shes on board...so out of desperation to drive me away, she asked a station manager friend from another radio station to give me an audition, so thats it! Thats how i got into the airwaves :-)

Chloe of 96.3




 How long have you been a dj
10 years I guess but, there's a break of like 7 years coz I opted to go corporate back in 2003 to 2008... And then the big break from easyrock came in 2009

How long have you been with easy rock 96.3
Roughly 4 years, I'm one of the pioneers, when it became easyrock, from W rock...

Whats the best thing you love about your job?
Oh the music!!! Never a day without music, i love it more than movies or tv.. Hahahha

We know you as an energetic and lively person on air, Describe yourself when you are off air.
Always busy, always looking for something to do at home, doing laundry, groceries...im a restless spirit!

Since you have a busy schedule as DJ and with all your other hosting gigs, How do you destress?
Spa!!!! And quiapo! I love goung to quiapo and binondo for some shopping and chinese food :-) i love bargains!!!

How and what did you do to become so sexy and fit?
Honestly??? I got really depressed! Hahhaa so i started losing weight coz i wasn't sleeping and wasn't eating...then i realized its actually zipping your mouth that can make you lose weight,,,so i started watching what i eat, and then i started walking 45 mins a day, so i can think and process things in my mind..i love to think...so basically that's what i did... 90% diet...10% exercise

Is going paper really good for the environment?

Lately, the voice of the eco warriors have grown louder. More and more people are starting to get concerned about protecting our environment.

Even the government of the Philippines has started to act to protect and save what we have remaining to the extent that they have passed a law banning the use of plastic bags in commercial establishments.

A number of cities have already adopted staggered implementation of the law like Mandaluyong city. To read more, click here.

But is it really more eco friendly using paper? Majority of our forests are gone. With the loss of our forests, floods and other natural disasters are more common. Isnt going paper going to increase the demand for more trees being cut?

Wouldnt it be easier to find ways to increase recycling, researching biodegradable plastic materials and enforcing laws in garbage disposal than using up more trees? Yes maybe in the short run we would be able to reduce our plastic wastes. But what abour our trees? Are there steps being made to replenish our forests and possibly even reclaim land for trees, when the demand for more and more land to be industrialized growing?

Myphone a858 duo review

Myphone a858 duo review

Box of A858 duoGSM/Edge Triband




3.95" 320 x480 pixels TFT HVGA

Front face of Myphone A858 duo

Android 2.3

WIFI/ GPS

3.2 MP rear camera




Bluetooth

back of A858 duo

Stereo FM Radio

Expandable Memory upto 16 gb




A858 duo thickness

It's a little bit thicker than a cricket lighter.

All in all, good enough quality of LCD - Big enough to enjoy looking at pictures.




Speed in performance when using for browsing - almost the same as HTC chacha.

No Front Camera.

Slight lag in taking pictures.

Default qwerty keyboard for texting.

Battery life is a little over a day - with moderate use for bluetooth ( since I use a headset), wifi and data plan.

On the plus side - skype video calling works - able to see video for both parties. (drawback - its either you are seen in the video or you see the one you are talking to, why? camera is at the back of the phone. lol)

Paper vs. Plastic

Paper vs. Plastic


In the past few months, moves to ban the use of plastic bags and styrofoam in stores and other places have gained momentum. In Quezon City, Ordinance No. SP-2127, has been passed as of Aug 16, banning the use of these materials.Which is better, Paper vs. Plastic?

Even the  Local Government Unit (LGU) of Naguilian, in La Union, has prohibited the use of plastic bags in their town.

Also participating in this no plastic policy is Las Pinas City which has passed Ordinance No. 1036-11, banning the use of plastic bags and polystyrene packs in all commercial establishments doing business in Las Piñas City.

Even in Mandaluyong City, certain days of the week, all stores are required to use paper bags and boxes as opposed to plastic bags and polystyrene packs.

Is it too late for these environment friendly moves? Or is it really environment friendly?

Environmentalists say that this might not be the solution to the problem, worse, it might exacerbate the situation as you need to cut down more trees to produce paper bags. Just how many trees depends on a lot of things, like what type of pare, what type of trees and others. But, it is clear that you need trees to make paper, with our forests and other natural resources quickly dwindling, is this what we want?

Or should we step up drives for our population to recycle?
