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 generally represent their particular blogging niches – and they mesh well with the lines too.

Hope you guys enjoy this!

The Wildest UP Fair I’ve Seen in Years

The University of the Philippines Diliman Fair Week has always been a staple must-go event every second week of February. Each year, every day has a delectable menu of bands – old and new that doesn’t fail to satisfy the appetite of concert-goers. Present are also different booths, attractions and rides which make the whole UP Fair experience awesome. But behind the fun music and games, violence is also a mainstay in these events. People usually don’t mind. Until last night.

From YouTube to the BoobTube!

After a hiatus of more than a month, CokskiBlue is back! With. A. Vengeance.

You guys have no idea how much back[v]logs I got in my laptop. My system cannot keep up! So expect an overflow of video updates in the coming weeks. Also, I really miss b/vlogging. Just needed to recharge after the new year and the Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho crew did boost me in the right direction. Watch this behind the scenes video and Part 1 of the show segment about Pinoy Vlogging! Part 1 after the JUMP:

Happy 2009 CokskiBlue Viewers!

Overwhelming. Heartfelt. Joyful.

This video is the exact reason why big families are awesome. Cebu FTW!

This is How I Thank Everyone in 30 Seconds.

My recent birthdaymonth has got to be the busiest and most hectic celebration I’ve had ever. I was always used to big house parties where I get to invite all my friends from different circles but I realized that it’s just too costly (since I’ll be the one spending this time) and not really as fun as small, intimate get-togethers. This video basically thanks the people who were there to celebrate the awesome month of November with me. I love you, gaiz!

FRIENDS in the Video:

National Telehealth Center Staff (on my birthday and at the Elation Launch)
Bloggers (Elation Launch and Late-Night Coffee – Thanks Gibbs!)
Orgmates (Elation Launch and Tagaytay Trip)
Kuyakoy Band
Cavite Barkada
Masci (Manila Science) High School Friends (Redbox)
Palawan Gang
And of course, my brother Jet.

23 Years! Whew.

“UPCAT” Premiere Coverage and Screening Details!

UPCAT The Movie, one of the films under Cinema One Originals Film Festival premiered at the UP Film Center, Diliman Quezon City last November 20, 2008. The event, one of the first stops of Cinema One Originals 2008 Campus Tour, was attended by a great number of indie film fans and movie-goers. Reactions to the movie is kinda mixed but the comedy scenes were sure hits to the crowd composed mostly of UP students and alumni.

Here are screening details and the synopsis of the film:

December 3 to 9, 2008
Robinson’s Galleria Indiesine

Lucas and Joaquin are two teenage boys from the province who believe passing the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admissions Test) is the passport to their dreams. While Joaquin’s goal is to get a well-paying job and bring his OFW parents back home, Lucas wants nothing more than to win the heart of his schoolmate Jane – and perhaps her family, all of whom are UP-educated. The two seek help in reviewing from Michael, a UP Fine Arts graduate with a secret. In this light coming-of-age story, Lucas and Joaquin discover some truths about life, love, dreams and shaded circles and a little more about themselves along the way.
