CokskiBlue! This is Coy dot Net

Goodbye, CokskiBlue

May 07

CokskiBlue is so hard to spell (and pronounce), right? That’s why I’m done with it. LOL.

Kidding aside, I have decided to let go of this blog monicker and stick with my oh-so-very-catchy name – Coy Caballes. Wapak.

CokskiBlue is not something that I made up. That’s what some of my relatives call me back in the early 90′s when I was too young and busy crapping my pants. It’s a name which I’ll never know the etymology but I will always treasure the meaning. It’s very much like this video blog – which started very randomly, with no apparent reason of being nor direction or script. Back in 2007, it was just a wild idea of an aspiring filmmaker-slash-entertainer who was looking for a channel to showcase his, ehem, talents.

This blog was a dream-enabler in so many ways. I wanted to do “films”. Check. I wanted to sing in front of a crowd. Check. I wanted to learn how to write. Erm. Check. I wanted to make use of my computer science background while still tapping into my creativity. Check.

Great, GREAT things that I could never have imagined happened because of this blog.

What I am now. The great team I work for today. The Coy you guys always knew. That jaw-pose you’ve been teasing me about – all came out in CokskiBlue.

After reading Kring’s post on dreams, I realized – dreams don’t have to be about exactly what you want; your blessings will take different forms which you won’t recognize on the first glance. You will question yourself – is this what I really want? Just wait. Only when you look back and see the bigger picture – you will realize that your dream DID COME TRUE.

Just to make things clear, i’m not letting go of blogging or even doing videos. Hell no. This is just an announcement of a transformation – from the young, aimless, and random CokskiBlue to an improved version of who I am. I’m moving to a new site: Vlogs and Jawshots so I can preserve everything Cokski and Blue in here. Crap, I just can’t revert to my old blog theme. Meh.

So here – the last video that I’ll be posting:

Hey guys, This is Coy. See you on Tumblr!

Special Episode: Will It Blend… with Cheese!

Sep 14

Wow. I just released a video. After one freaking year!

Inspired from the hit Youtube series, “Will it Blend?” This video answers the ancient question – “Is everything good with cheese?”

Just add a colorful wheel and a hungry bunch of people, it seems like the answer is “Uhm… yuh?”

Thank you sir Buddy Gancenia for the awesome camera work!

A Letter from My 20-Year Old Self

Aug 22

Sleeping soundly in UP.

This was 5 years ago. It’s amazing what you discover in your old email inbox. Don’t worry, I don’t always write letters to myself. But I totally forgot what made me write this narcissistic note. Could’ve been an English subject requirement or just a random crazy rant. But now, reading through it just gave me a whole new perspective on how to answer the question, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”

Dear Self,

Hello Coy! How are you? Or should I ask – How are we?

Kwarenta: My 8-Hour Ondoy Experience in 40 Txt Messages

Sep 27

My grueling experience yesterday is incomparable with what’s happening with our fellow Filipinos still waiting to be rescued right now. And I’m praying for my friends and family who are still stuck in their homes and on their roofs.

I know most of us lived through our worries yesterday by texting and calling our loved ones. What I have here is a very small part of the millions of text messages sent on September 26, 2009 that clogged even the biggest communication networks in the country. These messages don’t account the whole riot I (and my office mates) experienced. It’s actually just the tip of the iceberg.

Though my phone got soaking wet, fortunately it did not die on me. Here are the messages in my Sent Items texted to different contacts:

CokskiBlue’s Very First Single (err, Jingle)

Sep 22

Flippish Made Me Sing for the Philippine Blog Awards!

“Jingle” is a really fun song I wrote and composed in the wee nights of the morning. It basically symbolizes the diversity of the Philippine blogging community and the unity most of us are aiming for – hence this year’s PBA theme “One Blogging Nation”. The blogs or names in the song are there to
