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!

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!

Punta tayo lahat! Perfect Valentine Week date. Hehe. Anyway, check-out this link – new way to Send Money to the Philippines Online.

50 years of doing anything is a very long time; 50 years of marriage is just plain remarkable.

My grandparents, Lolo Peping and Lola Deny just celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary last November 20, 2007 at the Kamayan Restaurant, EDSA. It was a milestone that inspired everyone – our family and friends – who witnessed their relationship’s love, strength and growth through the years.

Now, let me share with everyone my grandfolks’ first vlog and hear their most heart-warming messages for each other; Also watch out by the end of the video – the family’s Golden Anniversary celebration accompanied by my cousin, Peachy‘s new song – “Lullabye”.

Here are part of the speeches that they personally wrote:

Lola Deny

Actually, I love to talk to people, especially with friends, relatives and acquaintances, but sad to say, I’m a poor speaker because I get tongue tied whenever I face an audience. But today is a very special day and although I find it hard and difficult to find words to express my emotions after 50 years, I know I have to say what I feel to this wonderful, handsome, old man – my husband.

Dong, I would like to thank you for sticking and being with me for 50 years. I know I have my faults and shortcomings but you’ve been very patient and understanding. And through the years, you have given me all the love and care a husband could give to a wife.

We had our difficult times, trials, financial problems, illnesses, and worst of all, the loss of our beloved son, Abel. It caused me so much pain and misery but I still consider myself blessed because I have you as my husband whom I consider the greatest gift God has given to me.

Thank you for the happy times and for everything and most of all, I thank God for giving me a wonderful and loving husband.

Lolo Peping

Good evening. First of all, I would like to thank you all, our guests, friends, and relatives for coming and sharing with us this special day – our 50th anniversary.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to tell you a part of our romance episode. I still remember that time when I set my eyes on a lovely, tall, dainty and sweet-smelling campus girl; I was so attracted to her that I decided to get to know her well. But it was not an easy task because she was very elusive. And back then, she had bodyguards assigned by my very strict father-in-law who watched her every step. But it does not stop there. I tried to win her by all means to the point that I had to befriend one of her bodyguards! And voila! I got her! (under my skin…)

Suffice to say, I’m proud and thankful to God I still have her and now celebrating with her our 50 years of marriage.

So to my darling wife, my General and lifetime Commander-in-Chief – thank you for loving me throughout the years – 50 years at that! I would like you to know that you are my everything now and forever, I love you and Happy Anniversary, General!

I’ve been vlogging for 4 months now and you might have noticed a constant face in all of my videos and photos. He’s got more exposure than I do in most of my episodes. I’ve featured my Mom and Dad here in CokskiBlue; it’s about time to give (part of) the spotlight to the fourth and last member of the family. Yup. He’s Jet – my (not so) little brother. He’ll kill me once he sees this. Ha!It’s not really hard to have fun with this guy. He thinks of the corniest jokes and belches out very funny stories every now and then about his friends, misadventures and UP. He’s a very shy and laid-back person but he comes up with the quirkiest comments that everybody loves.

Kids (?) our age usually bond over basketball or over bottles of beer and pulutan. We bond over this:

Oh, did I mention I sang in this video?

This week’s been pretty hectic with all the enrollment madness at U.P. Diliman. So I thought I could make a simple, editing-lite video about our recent trip to Nueva Ecija for my Grand Ma’s 70th birthday and about my cousin, Iris “Ate Ahpol” who left for Bangkok Thailand just days ago.

Iris is from Cebu and we were fortunate enough to have her with us before she flies off the country. So after celebrating at Nueva Ecija, since we were all tired with all the hours of travel, we spent her last day at our home back here in Cavite, watching Happy Slip and CokskiBlue videos. Talk about boredom. Hehe.

This video podcast also features my brother, Jet and his usual laid-back self. This is a first time so watch out for my annoying laughs and boring questioning. Be nice.

This was recorded last June 4, 2007, 7:00 PM, an hour before Ate Ahpol left for the airport. I really miss her. We all grew up together, with my brother and my other cousin, (Iris’ sister) Peachy. We were the ultimate Ninja Turtles back then and we used to make up Jumanji riddles like “In the banyo you must wait, till the dice read 5 or 8″. Haha. We always find something to laugh about. It’s hard to even imagine that they’re not an hour-flight away anymore; that the chances of a C-Squared reunion (our imaginary band) is so little now. Sigh. Oh well, I’m looking forward to our Boracay luau and maybe in 5 years, I will be making a video blog about the four of us in Bangkok.

The music is by none other than, my very talented cousin, Peachy. I love the song. Hope you guys like it too.

IS YOUR YOUTUBE BLOCKED? NASA OFFICE OR SCHOOL? TRY THIS EPISODE IN GOOGLE VIDEO.

And now she’s in Bangkok! Check out her latest blog entry: BKK and Me.Ooooh. I actually wrote something. Heh.

Busy pa masyado kaya panoorin nyo muna ‘tong ginawa kong music video last year 2005 for one of my orgs – U.P. Mathematics Club.

May love life pa ako nito. Haha! Wala na pala.

Watch-out for an ALL-NEW Coy After Dark video tonight @ 12AM.
