Be.

Be? Yes. Be. Why title a blog with such?

At first, I was at a lost what title to give my blog. This is my first time so I wanted something that would reflect who am I. I don't want something that's dramatic or thought-provoking. I wanted a title that would evoke movement or motivation or just a suggestion.

Looking back, I dreamed to be either one of the three: a priest, a doctor, or a teacher. I was an altar boy so it was natural for me to look up to the priests as models. But my interest in science led to me to think, I'm better off being a doctor. I was engrossed with the idea of becoming the doctor (or scientist) who would finally discover the cure for common colds. That was until I met a DJ in my junior year in high school.

I had three favorite radio stations back then: 99.5 RT, XB 102.7 and BM 105.1. There I was, station surfing when I chanced upon a DJ voice that was somehow relatively familiar to me. So I waited for the phone number and called up the station (KY 91.5). I asked him if by any chance he worked at BM. He was taken aback and asked how did I know. I simply answered, "I remember your voice." He was pleasantly surprised because even if he changed his radio name somebody remembered him. His name is Archie Crane.

By then, i wanted to be a DJ since I love music. Every Saturday, I would be in his booth answering phone calls for him. There were times, too, that I was the one who actually spun the records. Hahaha!

But I had a leaning for arts, too. I did not know how to draw but I appreciated arts. I wanted to be an architect. Whew! What am to be?

By the senior year, my parents wanted me to become a doctor. So, goodbye DJ Jay, goodbye Arch. Jay. Hello Dr. Jay? It was fine since I wanted to be one, anyway.

Before the senior year ended, I decided to take up Psychology as a pre-med since it evoked a sense of mystery. So much for objective selection!

Unfortunately, my parents revealed that they would be having a hard time putting me through medical school. So the next best option is to take up Master's, instead. My interest shifted to education. I entertained the idea of teaching since I wanted that, too.

To cut the long story short, I managed to teach special children and college students as well. No difference between the two groups. Hahaha!

Wait! You're asking me what I'm doing now? I'm involved in film and music production. What?

You see, I wanted to be a filmmaker, too. And a rockstar. :)

Be.
