Out on the town last Thursday night at the nightclub Ascend, I was introduced by my friend Henry to Don Puno, one of the DJs on local pop station 99.5 RT ("The Rhythm of the City"). He and a couple of other DJs, Robi Joseph and Tina Ryan, have a show every weeknight from 6pm to 9pm, and on Wednesdays their theme is wellness - "Wellness Wednesday". So Don invited me to come hang with him, Robi, and Tina in the studio and talk yoga and wellness tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to it - I've never been in a radio studio before, Rob's a cool guy in person and the whole group of them seem like a lot of fun from hearing them on the air. They play plenty of music - it won't be a three-hour yoga discussion, but talk of yoga interspersed with music. (And, of course, ads ... someone's got to pay the power bill, and the Philippines has some of the most expensive electricity in the world!)
99.5 RT streams live on their website: http://www.dwrt995.fm/home.html ... I hope you'll check out the show, it's from 6pm to 9pm Manila time, which, O friends in the USA, is 6am to 9am Eastern time. (On second thought, you might want to tape it with Freecorder or something.)
Another interesting thing about that night out: Before Ascend, we stopped in at a chocolate tasting on "chocolate row" at Fort Bonifacio - a cupcake place, a patisserie, and my favorite haunt Xocolat are all lined up together on Serendra street. There we met Rina Puno Avecilla, the owner and creator of the Xocolat cafes and the cousin of Don Puno. (There are some huge extended families in the Philippines. Sometimes it seems like everyone's related. It's a small world.) Rina is a woman after my own heart - her avocation is chocolate and she practices Bikram Yoga. That's a formula for happiness, as in my experience, chocolate and yoga make a great combination!
Warmly,
Carol
