It’s nice to know that even if I am no longer an “active” Rusher, people still appreciate my past entries. =)
Last February 15, The Morning Rush started to award the senders of the #1 entries of their Top Ten with a family size ultimate Hawaiian overload pizza GC. I’m not really a fan of Hawaiian pizza, but hey, that’s free pizza! ^^ Normally, I join the top ten if feel ko lang yung topic. But ever since they started giving away that prize, kinarir ko ang pagsend ng entries!!! 
The first five days were “almosts” – hanggang #2 lang talaga ang nararating ng entries ko. Syempre, never say die ang mantra ko. Haha!
Last Monday, February 22, the topic was “Things to say to a skanky biatch” and I flooded Chico with entries! During the last batch, he decided to do a full batch of ten instead of the usual top half. 10, 9, 8, 7….kinakabahan na ako na kinakalma ang sarili ko na wag magexpect para di ma-disappoint….ayan na, #1 na…. And the top thing to say to a skanky biatch and we’ve got two entries comes from… astroboy. Ay naku sobrang napa- YES! ako! As in malakas na YES! Super happy! After days of trying, at last nagbunga rin!
My winning entries were:
When I’m done with the spotlight, then you can have it, biatch.
Lucky for you, mirrors don’t laugh.
I can't wait to claim my prize!
Woot! 
A fellow Rusher made this shoutbox comment on The Morning Rush Forum:
I made it to the top and it was just my second time to join…. I was no. 8 yesterday and today i had three entries which were picked – I was # 8, 10 and 1!!!! YeheY!
I’ve been a silent rusher for 14 years now and my main objective now is to beat astroboy, hahahaha! – jerguin22
And the replies that followed:
hey jerguin22! welcome to the forum! congrats on your entries! magandang goal yan! hahaha. -specialist
to jerguin22 (na ang goal ay mabeat si @astroboyisgay): Marami ka pang kakaining KANIN! LOL – Oscar dela Hopia (kelangan talagang kanin?! – KC)
hello jerguin22! bago mo ma-beat c astroboy kelangan malagpasan mo muna ang mga mortal like specialist and oscar dela hopia hahaha… – silver_bullet
@bullet tama.. yung mga mortal muna bago yung pinakaultimate.. dadaan ka pa kay sashapurse at boknoi hehe – Oscar dela Hopia
naku, ang hirap naman nyan! may mga “mortal” at may mga “pinaka-ultimate”! :) -mr. miser
Jerguin22′s post really amused me lol ) It reminded me of my newbie days as an “official” Rusher (which started last June 12, 2008). I badly wanted to be part of the Top Ten so I carelessly sent tons of entries without really caring about their quality. I had this huge urge to “beat” all those who were the “regulars,” both in having entries and being the topic sender! Hahaha!
Now, I know how to control myself na hehe. I only send entries if I can actually think of good ones or if I have saved text messages that I can use hehe. As much as possible, I do not send entries if I am the topic sender, since I get to be mentioned naman in every batch I’m more focused now on sending topics. Haha. My “quota” for this year is one #1 entry and one topic per month. So far, last May lang sumablay. I had 3 topics, but no #1 entry.
Anyways, it’s great that even more people now want to be part of the Top Ten. For those who still want to join, ’tis never too late! Keep those entries coming!
Now if you seriously want to be…a regular, I suggest that you drop by The Morning Rush Forum and visit THIS THREAD. (That is, you have to have an account there and be logged in, okay?) It’s called the Top Ten Tips Thread (naks, alliteration! hehe!). 
And for jerguin22, here’s my advice for you, as posted in the Top Ten Tips Thread:
Being a Rusher means being goal-oriented. You could start by having small goals first then gradually pave the way towards higher goals.
For example, for a newbie Rusher, your first few goals would be:
-to wake up early and listen to the Top Ten everyday
-to send entries
-to make it to any batch
Once you get a “feel” of making it to the Top Ten, you can start aiming for higher goals such as making it to #1 and having multiple entries.
The ultimate goal would probably be to make it to #1 in all top half batches. (so 4 yan)
Of course, you can also set goals as a topic sender, as follows:
-suggest topics
-have a topic chosen for the Top Ten
-be the topic sender more than once in a week
So there. Hope to hear new codenames soon! Cheers!
It’s been exactly a year since I first had a Top Ten entry on The Morning Rush – as Astroboy! Kasi before I used Astroboy, I simply used my real name – Kristine or kaya my nick, KC. Whew, time flies talaga! At syempre, nahalukay ko pa ang BLOG ENTRY na nag-rant ako kasi I didn’t get to hear the entry I sent! Hahaha!
Aside from that, I realized na 10 years na pala akong RX listener! I started to listen to RX kasi in June 1999 – that was the year I transferred to my beloved UP Integrated School. The service-mates I had were RX listeners so nahawa na rin. So that means, 10 years na rin akong aktibo sa pagpapanalo sa mga promos nila hahaha adeek! ) My dad was the one who almost always claimed our prizes =))
Pero I wasn’t active-active like going to events. Sa promos lang talaga and other on-air stuff like dati ini-air pa yung mga callers sa The Daily Survey and you can greet your friends! Or Friday Battle of The Sexes! Hokey Pokey! Good Morning Manila! Madami pa! Nakaka-miss din yung ibang jocks and segments. Ohh but I did attend a few events – with my family. Hehe. Summer Cook-out over at Antipolo, Summer Party at Island Cove, Halloween Party at Enchanted Kingdom, etc. Pero when I started working, hala sige, go, go, go!
Tapos dati, the DJs probably know me only by face. Pero ngayon, pati mga Radio One peeps and RX office staff kilala ko na rin yata lol Basta ang happy lang Ay pati yung guards sa Strata! HAHAHA! =))
Anyways, I sort of “celebrated” this day by having 5 entries for the Top Ten Proposals this morning, including the #1 entry during the last batch. I used a different name, though. AB20. That’s for Astroboy (March) 20 hehe =)
So there. Here’s to more RX moments and friends! Woot!
Ok so I can’t tweet again. Kainis naman kasi, may limit pala ng tweets per hour. Hmpf.
Anyways. The topic for today’s Top Ten was “Things To Say To the One Who Got Away.” Naku, naku, I soooo do not enjoy topics like this. Nakaka-depress! Tapos, natapat pa na Riot Wed, so syempre the songs, the songs! Ano ba.
Anyways, bakit kaya every time I send madramang entries, or serious ones, Delle and Chico would always speculate as to how I came up with those entries haha. Siguro nga kasi, they know me as an uber hyper and happy person. Hay. Oh well.
Here are my entries:
#2, 9am – Mas gusto ko ang pangit na nananakit sa mata ko kesa sa tulad mong guwapo na nananakit sa puso ko…
#1, 10am – Being around you made me feel like I didn’t have to try to be happy…it just happened. So thank you. Lucky is the person who will have you forever…
DRAMA MUCH?! I know, right?! Hahaha. Oh well.
Been trying to score some Pussycat Dolls Concert tickets since last Monday, kanina ako naka-jackpot! Hehe!
<insert> during the 9am batch of the Top Ten (Reasons Why You’re Worth Loving), someone greeted his/her friend from Italy who wants to meet Chico and Delle and the Rushers, lalo na raw si astroboy! He’s curious daw if I’m funny ba talaga LOL!
<back to regular programming> Won the PCD concert tickets after a few minutes! I was both caller numbers 1 & 4. Lucky, lucky. ) When Delle asked me who I was, I said, “KC.” She said, “KC ka diyan?! Oh alam mo na answers di ba? Specialist is here, eto o..”
So nakipagchikahan pa ako kay Kuya Joe and he was the one who got my details haha! )
Again, I had fun going on air. Ang kulet ni Delle, eh makulet din ako! Haha! And then she made me say the…tagline? hehe of Infinite ready-to-drink cocktails. “Mild and Wild.” Eh kamusta naman, in the sexiest way possible daw. Waaaa I told Delle, “I’m not sexy eh, I’m funny!” LOL! But anyways, I did say it, and a lot of fellow Rushers texted to say na naaliw sila. LOL! ) Ako nahirapan amf! I cringed after saying that line, so not me LOL! )
Anyways, I’ve requested a copy of my wild and mild moment from BlueRitz. Hopefully maupload ko tomorrow
And the lucky recipient of those tickets? Dru, of course
Oh, pahabol. I replied to “the friend from Italy,” Chico read it during the 9:30am batch: “If you’re guwapo, I can be extra funny!” Hahaha! And Delle was like, “See, she said she isn’t sexy, but she just needs a little…” I think she said push? I forgot na, will DL na lang the Top Ten haha )
And then for the last batch of the Top Ten, I made it to #4: “I am worth loving kasi I have tickets for the Pussycat Dolls concert!”
Happy Thursday, indeed! =)
Just came from Starbucks Enterprise (thanks for the frap, JC). As we were about to leave, we overheard a group of people talking about Twitter and Delle! So syempre I introduced myself as astroboy.
Girl: Oh you’re astroboy?! Lagi kang nagsesend ng entries! Do you get to know the topics beforehand?! (And then she proceeds to tell her non-Rusher friends na ang witty ng entries sa Top Ten)
Guy: You’re astroboy?! Babae ka pala!
Adeek. Ayun haha. ) Didn’t get their names, though. Silent Rushers sila, working near Enterprise =)
At last, the weekend!
Had a fun day today. The [weird] Morning Rush was great! JAGS=Jolly, Albert, Gino and Suzie=riot! Parang party lang on air! And then I had 5 entries for the Top Ten Titles for a Chico and Delle Movie:
#5, 7am: (On an) Island in the Sun Sunburn(ed) Chico the Magic Dragon Kissed the Delle (imbes na Girl) Under the Sea
#3, 8am: Chico sa Umaga Chicomar sa Gabi
#3, 9am: for Delle – Blogless in Galera; for Chico – Shameless Blog Plugger
#4, 10am: Heaven in a Bunch of Strange Fruits
#1, 10am: Ten Things Chico and Delle Hate About You (Jolly and Gino)
^was actually surprised that Gino chose my entry to be #1 during the last batch. Hehe =) I think Gino’s my lucky charm when it comes to the Top Ten because almost every time he boards, I get to have a #1 entry! He was also on board when I made it to #1 in all top half batches. Cool =) Oh and thank you to all those who included me in their greetings! 3 or 4 people yata greeted, cool =) And then tomorrow Jolly and Gino will be boarding again! Yey! They will be doing another Top Ten =)
Another thing which made my day today is having lunch with some of the Rushers who are part of the “Makati Chapter” haha =D Pictures can be viewed HERE.
I can’t wait for tomorrow because aside from TMR, I will be bonding with my Morato cousins again! Yey! Being with my cousins and relatives from my mom’s side is soooo colorful and noisy and fun hehe. I’m not saying my dad’s side is boring ha! Haha. Mas marami kasi kami sa side ni Mama. I have 3 aunts who are all married, 6 uncles na isa lang walang asawa, 24 cousins (and then add my 2 siblings so 27 kaming magpipinsan) and finally, 10 pamangkins (children of 6 cousins so add 6 more to represent the wives/husbands of these cousins). O di ba, sinong hindi sasaya nun?! Compared to our dad’s side … 2 grandparents, 1 unmarried aunt, 5 uncles (one is in the US pa oh and my dad), 13 cousins (2 are in the US)…so there. haha =D
Have a great weekend, everyone!
