CokskiBlue Finally Meets Idol and YouTube Sensation – HappySlip!

For CokskiBlue’s 30th Episode, here is an EXCLUSIVE, up-close and personal chat with the YouTube celebrity – Christine Gambito of HappySlip! Our very own Filipina phenom talks about her upcoming videos, eating balut, local showbiz and a whole lot more! She also answers questions from 5 lucky Pinoy bloggers!

Of course, together with Theater Master, Gibbs Cadiz, I had the chance to sit down with Christine for a whole 11 minutes of pure fun and laughter. Do check out both parts of the episode!

Here’s PART 2:

But the more memorable moments happened off-cam. I was very humbled by the fact that she actually remembers a couple of my videos where I featured her! Here’s what I remembered most of what she said (not verbatim):

(On CokskiBlue)

“That’s you? I sent your site to my mom.”
“I think your site is well-known because it keeps popping up everywhere.” (LOL. This really made me laugh.)
“You see? I dooo remember!” (Astig talaga.)

(On Vlogging)

“Don’t you just loooove it?” (Oh, yeah!)

Apparently, The Top Ten Emerging Influential Blogs of 2007 writing project is still making quite a buzz and waves of stories across our very own Pinoy Blogosphere Blogging Community – but for very different reasons and from very different perspectives.Oh well, let’s all take a break from that guys. Chill. And remember the good times that was August 1, 2007. Come on, just spare this ten minutes. For peace.

Yeah right. Haha.

I always liked to become a disk/video jockey. Tell me if I should stop trying. Haha.

DO NOT RECORD A PODCAST WHILE WATCHING PINOY BIG BROTHER.

I have stopped watching the show after a month of its second season run. It started out pretty interesting. The first few tasks were challenging enough to keep viewers glued. Man, there were even some episodes which I could actually consider worthy of wasting my time. But I don’t know. I just stopped. I have very low tolerance in keeping up with what’s happening in my life let alone follow 14 strangers wiggle their asses, take regular bathroom breaks and talk about the latest in-house chika.

Even with all the Wendy buzz just a week ago, I displayed minimal interest in its final week. Man, did I haaate HER. But no matter how bitchy she got, it didn’t urge me to call her names like “Wendy-monyo” in public online forums; just made me wish she got trampled by the chicks she was running with in the recent Lovapalooza commercial.

So when I learned that she shockingly made it to the finals, I knew I had to watch her get the worst booing of her life in Araneta.

As we watch the BIG NIGHT countdown clock at channel 2 boil down to minutes, my friends and I were still busy brewing and finalizing a master plan for our friend, Abe’s surprise 21st birthday bash. I just owe this guy a lot. We just met last November around MY 21st birthday and he helped with most of the planning, ambiance, lights, music, all for FREE! My party was a smash hit mostly because of his doing. So, with high gratitude, I would like this party to be smoking hot as well.

Starting the Podcast

We were basically running out of new ideas. We don’t want a rerun of what happened at my gig, that wouldn’t be a surprise, would it. Got no time to record a video let alone edit one. So we thought, as a simple gift, instead of just the usual house music, we’ll also be playing a podcast all through out the party – a personalized radio show. Brilliant.

Now that was our first mistake. Ha!

We started as PBB was already announcing the 4th big placer. We had to record during commercials since being hardcore addicts, Jhossa (a Wendy fan in denial) and Bits insisted on keeping the TV on while we do our business. Now that was another mistake.

The recording was all over the place! Everybody was talking over each other, there was no real flow (thanks Tanggera), and even worse, it was smothered with countless off-topic PBB adlibs and spiels! The joy of having Wendy kicked out was evident in the podcast but as we moved on, I just had to steer the conversation out of PBB’s way. I don’t know if you can tell but I was “trying” to be on-topic as my co-DJs ramble like crazy. Haha.

But what the heck. It was really fun anyway. It was our their first time for crying out loud. We made it in one take with no editing. And everybody got to go home as PBB rolled the credits.

Oh, and the Party?

Massive success. Although not because of our ingenuity in organizing events but because of Abe’s band, Mainstream, with their pretty hot vocalist, Tina (who, by the way, they call “Du-Wendy”, haha!). Everybody got to hear the podcast, and all they understood was “Happy Birthday Aaaaabe!” Bummer.

Now here is the podcast. Edited to spare you the agony. It isn’t that bad. Really. Heh. Tell me what you think.

P.S. To everyone who’s thinking I’ve jumped the shark with this one, don’t worry, I’ll make up for it next week. Haha!

And thanks Dad, for thinking highly of my “reputation”. Don’t stress, I’ll take care of it.

Man, I’ve got the worst hangover.

Of summer, that is. Since classes started this June, can’t seem to fully adjust to the new schedule I have to put up with. Maybe I miss the super hot days when I have no reason to leave the house or even get out of bed, the events we have to organize, or staring at the computer ’til dawn. It’s hard to focus on academics when Wifi can reach you almost everywhere and blog hopping could be as easy as a sit in the park. I need to let go.

So now, on the turn of a new month, I will firmly stand by my decision to leave behind (temporarily) some “luxuries” I had back then. Looking back, it’s been fun but I just have to think– Dude, you’re graduating dammit! — and that should shake me up and put my priorities in place.

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.
