DB92 Moderator: Sabi na nga ba, Rock Star na, eh. I definitely would ask your autograph, the next time we meet. Any latest projects you are working on?
Audie R.:  The latest project I put together is "Feel Good Inc" (formerly Freeze Frame) which is a top 40, dance party band made up of 6 people. Unlike the 2 previous bands, we don't play original music and is more of a profitable business venture.
 

   
 
DB92 Moderator:  Are you the kick-ass vocalist or the guitar freak?
Audie R.:  In all bands, I either play guitar and/or keyboards & sing. The funny thing was I never played an instrument in HS and I always admired those guys that played in the band during mass. Anyway, If you guys are in the area, you should check us out. I promise, you'll have a lot of fun!
 

 
DB92 Moderator: Last question, pare. Any strong advice to our next generation bosconians?
Audie R.:  I used to make fun of people who gave me this advice but now I realize how right they were: Always dare to dream!

Think of where you want to be 5 to 10 years from now and plan out how you're going to get there, one stage at a time. Seriously, get a piece of paper right now and draw a map of your life in stages. Start like this: "Step 1: Before I can become ________, I must first do ________." ...and so on. Now let that map guide you and that dream inspire you in whatever you do! Take it from me, with enough work and patience, you will get there if you set your mind to it...I kid you not! You'll be amazed at what you can do.

However, there's a catch:

1) You have to have the guts to try things out. You'll never know if you can do it unless you try. If you fail, so what? Try another approach. Eventually, one of them will work. Always take chances.

2) Expect to fail! Trust me, you will at first. There's just no getting away from it. The question is: what do you do if you fail. Answer: learn to accept it then move on and try a different path.

3) Learn to be content and appreciate what you have. Avoid jealousy. It will make you a much happier person. And be patient. Nothing happens instantly.

4) Don’t forget the people that helped you get to where you are and always make new friends. You'll be glad you did! The more people you know, the better your chances are in getting to your goal.

5) Dont forget your values. What's the use of being successful if you have no friends and your family hates you?

6) Popeye was right! Always eat your vegetables.

7) Do not piss on an electric fence. Remember what your instructors taught you in shop class: water is a conductor.

8) Do not spit towards the wind. I learned this the hard way!

9) I don’t care what you say, a solar-powered flash light is a bad idea.

10) Lastly, find humor in things. Life is short, you might as well enjoy it!
 
DB92 Moderator: Whoa! That’s very informative. Maybe it’s not yet too late for me to adopt your advice.  I would like to thank you for giving time to this interview, sharing your updates, humors, thoughts and insights with the rest of the batch.
Audie R.:  Thanks din, pare. Also, I'd like to recognize all the effort you've done in putting this site together.  You're doing a really noble job here and if it wasn't for you, I probably would've found it hard to keep in touch with the rest of our classmates. Again, great job, pare!
