When MELODY Was In Tune With The Universe
Be careful what Be careful what you ask or wish you ask or wish for, as the for, as the universe is very universe is very generous. generous.
Like me, I wish to be a writer, publish my son's book and it did come true. I’m the Author of Chasing Horizons, a book that is two years in the making and a collection of 100 poems that describes our lives during the pandemic, most of all I want to be a Dj or radio presenter as it's one of my passion, although I didn't finish mass communication and I was not given the chance to take mass communication, instead I finished Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurial Management.

But I never forgot my wish to be a Dj or radio presenter, so I took many workshops on podcasting activities and online courses in public speaking like Pinoy Impact Toastmasters International which help me gain the self-confidence to be the voice of those who were shy to speak. The universe was so good in giving me a lucky life as a migrant worker because I got good employers and had the chance to study every Sunday.
And while I’m asking for my dreams to come true, aside from taking action and working on them to come true, I’m also trying to be the person worthy to be granted of my dreams by having good intentions, love, and care for humanity in thoughts, actions, and words.
So in return, I gave back to society what was given to me by supporting Filipino communities and NGOs, 'till one day when I'm doing my community service, a new opportunity knocked on me. While serving the community I met good channels and amazing opportunities that came along, of course, I’m always sharing the blessings with those who need them as long as my hand could reach.
"Ms. Ody, do you want to be a DJ and have your radio show so your advocacy in helping people can reach more?"
I was speechless, I can't believe what the owner of the radio station was telling me. I said to give me one week to absorb the offer. I didn't do this alone, I took it with me as a DJ, the rest was of my Talent house Horizons members, to be a DJ, and become my field reporters.. This is a living legacy that I will leave for them. One happy experience in their lives and an opportunity as Horizons members.
One of the DJs was an inspiring DJ too, DJ Len and I helped her make her dream come true. So from Horizons...CLO was born on 91.5.5 WRS FM WOWS Radio Station Community, Lifestyle with DJ Ody, and Horizons. At CLO we do believe that "if they got a story to tell, you got a Lifestyle to share."
