Working in the radio is one of the things I really love most. I was 3rd year college when I started as a Disc Jockey(DJ)in one of the local stations in Davao City.(It's 105.1 YES FM DAVAO)...Very perfect job since I am taking Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications. And it really suited my personality because I am a music lover especially classic love song where I am given the chance to handle such kind of genre during my board time. I just can't imagine that I am just a listener before but now I am the one who's being listened to. It is very flattering when people learn to notice you on air and became one of their daily routine, their favourites. It is very overwhelming and gratifying that they appreciates you but it pleases more when you know that number of populace tuned in to your station especially to your program.

I really started my career in the radio. Through this break, it opens a door for me to hosting gigs and become a local drama talent. It builds more of my self confidence, especially in handling and facing different kind of people. Making new friends and acquaintances. And the exciting part is having the chance of meeting your favourite singers and artists, and many more to name a few wonderful experiences. It is really true that once you love what you are doing you may be able to find and feel contentment and satisfaction.

And as I started to count the years in the industry, I can’t believe I am now on my 5 years stay. (Congratulate me, (@_,@)). And the surprising peak of my career is to be able to handle or be a part of the program YES DIARY with the main host Dr. Rico Valentino. It’s a program that caters listener’s problems in life and love. A letter reading and advice format program where all audiences are free to send their comments, reactions and advices to the letter sender of the day. It’s really satisfying to receive a lot of letters from the audiences knowing that they trust the program to share their problems and burdens. And it really feels good when you can share your views and advices on how you appease the sender to solve their problems. And know what it’s really amusing to find out? That people most common problem aside from money is “LOVE”!

And I am going to share one of the thousands of letters we received from the program. This one is from our letter sender name Jenny. Actually it is written in Tagalog (Filipino) but I really take effort to translate in English for everyone to read…

I am an office girl. I was 8 yrs old when my parents separate ways. At my very young age I witnessed how my parents quarrel until such time that they really decided to end up their marriage. And then I found out later that my dad is living with her mistress. I really hate my dad. It really hurts me. I feel pity with my mom. It became a traumatic experience to me. I grow up hating my dad and the very reason why I didn’t allow myself entertaining boys/men. I feel aloof to them. And it triggers me also to grow up and live with the idea that men are stupid, cheaters, womanizers and unfaithful.

At the age of 28, I never experienced or engaged into a relationship. I am a bunch of tease in the office even my friends that I am not getting younger anymore. It’s time for me to settle down. I admit I have a lot of suitors but I didn’t waste my time entertaining them. Because deep inside I am afraid that it might happened to me what my mom had been through. Even though my mom already told me that she had forgiven dad already. She even advices me not to generalize men. She wants me to get married, to have my own family. And she even said that it’s really normal to get hurt when you’re in love. I have to move on and forget the past just as what my mom did.

And then I met Roy. Honestly I feel something different for him, such feelings I haven’t felt with the other guys. Until I wake up one day he already took special part in my heart. I felt comfortable being with him. We became friends, had a constant communication and later on he courted me. We go out dating. I gave myself a chance of knowing him. And I found out we have a lot of thing in common. Because I learned also that his parents too were separated and he grew up along with his mom and step dad. I can’t explain my feelings. Maybe my friends and my mom were right after all that it really feels good and great when you were in love. It even conquers my fears of getting into a relationship. I didn’t hesitate telling him the truth about my past and he accepts it and even assures me that he’s willing to wait until the time came I may be able to learn to love him. It almost takes 7 months when I finally gave my Yes to him. And I never felt happier. Yes I feel better. I feel certain happiness that I have never felt before. And what more can I ask for when Roy proposes marriage to me, without a thought or second word I heartily accepts his proposal. As my mom said true love happens only once so never let it slipped away. My mom really likes Roy so she really encourages me to make things in a hurry.

But life is really ironic. Life is really unfair and really cruel! When Roy’s mom and step dad went home in the Philippines, we planned to break the news to his parents. But I received the greatest shock of my life to found out that Roy’s step dad is my father! I felt like the world is on my shoulder. It comes to me that Roy’s mom is the very reason why my Dad left and abandons us. And upon seeing my Dad it seems all the pain, hurt and hate that I slowly learn to buried and forget come back. Seeing my Dad neaten the memories of my younger days when it was me and my mom living life full of loneliness and miseries. Without second thought I broke up with Roy. I could not bear the fact that my fiancée belongs to the family who’s the main reason why Dad leave us. Roy couldn’t accept it. He told me not to be unfair to him. Not to be mean to him. He told me that it would really hurt him much if he’ll lose me.

But it hurts me more coz I really love Roy also and setting my future with him, believing that he’s the right man for me and a man I am going to spend for the rest of my life. But I was wrong. I should not suppose to love him. It is very painful that I couldn’t even command myself to forget him. I hate myself crying always, I hate it when I could ignore the pain. I hate it when no matter how I tried to forget him and get rid of him but I could not erase him in my system!

I don’t know what to do. It hurts. My mom told me learns to accept and forget the past. It doesn’t mean that after finding the truth I have to do this to Roy. My mom told me to follow my heart. If I really love Roy I should learn to face the truth, to accept everything about him. Honestly I really love Roy but it’s really hard to accept that he’s the son of the woman who causes the separation of my parents. I admit that until now I could not forgive my father. Life is really unfair. I happen to learn and experience how it feels to be in love but I guess I did love the wrong man…Thanks for giving precious time to this letter of mine…Yours truly JENNY

You think so she did love the wrong man? Well what do you think, are your advices and remarks same as mine? Happy reading guys…Have a nice day….Until next time...Muah!!!!(‘,’)
