Wasapers.com and the Kwentong Barbero Podcast

So hey! We finally got a recorded copy of the May 4 radio interview about Pinoy Podcasting from Monster Radio RX 93.1 FM. The catch is that since the Heard On Thursdays show lasts for an hour, the mp3 file is like, 81MB!

Nevertheless, we will find a way to post it online. Then you can download it and listen to the geek that I am make a fool of himself live on-air! Wheee!! Read more about this in our Bull Board forum.

Thanks to Manong Guard and Obet for the copy I got through them when I met up with more of the gang that has been dubbed as the “Kapisanan ng mga Podkaster ng Pilipinas”. The Manila-based Pinoy Podcasters met up on May 26 at Phi Resto Bar in Metrowalk, Ortigas.

There’s another photo of the event over at Manuel’s Secondthoughts. It is also mentioned on The Basang Sisiw Show website.

Yesterday. Woke up early and had breakfast in Eastwood, Libis with EJ and ryan_muah. Pagkatapos ay pumunta sa 2nd floor ng open-air parking para salubungin ang araw. New discovery namin:

• basyong bote ng C2 green tea + Johnny Walker Black Label = HAPPINESShh in PUBLIC!

My logic, “it’s never too early to be intoxicated!”

Waited for D to quit work for the day and then brought her & ryan_muah home. Thus, this story begins…

Went to LTO to renew the “drayber’s” license. Na what the fox moment ako dahil napaka obvious pa rin ng flaws ng LTO. From drug test to the fixers and the staff. Ahhh… madami pa rin sablay! Of course, this has been going on for a long time now - in case you didn’t know.

Try going to counter 1. If she denied an application form, palipas ka lang ng 15 minutes and then balikan mo. She would have totally forgotten what happened before. Ampfness!

Drug test? It was a breeze. Kahit pa ba intoxicated ka, ok lang! Hinahanap lang nila eh traces of MJ, shabu and cocaine. Kung high ka on ecstasy, LSD, cough syrup or even rugby… OK lang! 3C says that they only use a cheap ass small kit for the drug test. Demet, para lang kaming nasa esquinita ng Tondo.

To think na LTO gives accreditaion to these drug testing and health facilities… A small room with the most basic equiptment and people coming in and out as if they were just passing by. Wala ni isa ang naka nurse or doctors uniform para ma-differenciate mo ang patient sa attendant. The tiny room’s walls are filled with (fake?) plaques and (fake?) photocopied documents like business permits and some stating their qualifications as doctors or nurses. Pabor ‘to sa masa, pero mga bradz, ‘di kaya this is a little too much?

So yeah, it’s cheap and fast. Where does quality and security fall? Walang assurance na ang mga kumukuha ng licence eh negative sa droga! “Drugfree” or is it more like, “drugfee“?

I didn’t bother taking pictures as I was worried that it might cause a stir. After the so-called “drug test” we crossed the street and went back the LTO.

Right at the entrance, fixers swarm the area like flies as if everybody coming in has honey on their shoulders.

PhP 1,500 para pumasa ka?

We’re still waiting for our copy of the Pinoy Podcasting interview that was the May 4 “Heard On Thursdays” episode on Monster Radio RX 93.1 FM, hosted by Rafael Reyes.

Wasapers.com crew member and Basang Sisiw Show “man on the street”, E.J. Padero, tagged along with the BSS’s Jay Estaris, a.k.a. “Manong Guard”. They were also joined by “Chica” of the Putanginamo!com Show. She flew in to Manila just for the interview (not!).

L to R: Host Raffy, Chica, Manong Guard, Ea, E.J.
Read what fellow Filipino Podcaster, Manuel Viloria, has to say about the interview. Click on over to Manuel’s Secondthoughts.

Not all insults are said without a grain of truth in them. Parang jokes: they are half-meant. ‘Di mo pansin, pero ginagawa mo ‘din.

“Punahin ang ginagawa ng ibang tao.”

That includes me, syempre. Nasa labas tayo… Madaming tao.. Minsan may buguk na gagawa ng kung ano, o kahit wala, na biglang dadaan sa harap mo… Paglampas nya,

“Tingnan mo ‘yun… Blah blah blah…”

Funny, but it’s true. Dito bawal ang plastik. Ilabas ang tunay na pagkatao… Sa lalabas, makikigulo at aalamin kung anung klaseng ”ehem” meron ang “Masa” at ang “Elitista”. Ano ba talaga ang mga bagay na ‘di nila pinagkakasunduan? What’s the big difference between “Fa-Q kah, Bitz!” and “Foot ng hina mo!”

Sentido Común? Oist, Wasapers! Keep your headgear on - GC is here! Keep You guys posted.
