My favorite stations

In a previous post, I talked about falling in love with Radio again because of Sirius XM (Satellite Radio). It's quite interesting what my favorite stations and why. Here they are:

"Coffee House"
- This station reminds me of Jam 88.3 in its first two years or so. Laid back acoustic. Lots of indie stuff.

"90's on 9"
- You can't go wrong with the music of your high school and college years. I played a lot of these when I was first starting out in Radio at Magic 89.9.

"Sirius XM Love"
- I have to admit that I go back to this once in a while. I know almost every song because of the years I spent in 96.3 WRock.

"The Blend"
- Yes, there's a station with the same name as my former program at Jam. This is a mix of almost everything; 80's, 90's and current hits.

Obviously there's a bit of trend here. The years that I've spent on Radio have had a huge influence on my musical tastes.

When I start missing the old days back in Manila, I know I can just tune in to one of these stations and somehow it sort of takes me back.

The biggest news

If there's one thing that kept me the most busy over the past few months it was the fact that my wife and I bought and moved into our first home here in the US.

By the grace of God, we were approved for a housing loan early this year. We put the down payment last February and they were all but finished building by late May. We ended up closing the deal and moving in on June 9.

Due to a bunch of reasons (housing crisis, low interest rates, government stimulus, etc.) it turned out to be the best deal ever. It was a miracle that everything came together in order for us to get a new house the way we did. We couldn't have planned it better ourselves.

Now, we've settled in to a bit of a routine and are in another new phase of our lives.

It's been so long

I've been meaning to update my blog for months. But so much has happened that I've been having a hard time figuring out where to start.

So instead of one long post with lengthy updates, I've decided to just write several short ones which go straight to the point.

I've really missed blogging. It was therapy for me after leaving Radio. It helped me express some ideas that I was used to airing daily.

Over the next few weeks, I'll try to post short ones here and there. I look forward to it.
