Behind the Scenes: CokskiBlue on Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho

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:

Episode 41: CBTL Audition

Bloggers Try Vlogging for Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf!

It’s not very often one gets the chance to produce a video blog with other awesome pinoy bloggers. So when the Great Mike Cabardo asked us to do a video ON THE SPOT for a few minutes, we knew we just had to take the challenge. Brainstorming for the concept was actually pretty quick as the Magikel Marcelle came up of the idea he was pretty familiar of. Watch as Fritz, Marcelle, Benj, Jonel, Charl and CokskiBlue try to create magic with video blogging.

Episode 38: The Palawan Gang Goes Gaga Over Snorkeling. And Marimar.

The Funniest Palawan Day to Date!

This has gotta be the funniest day ever. Srsly. It’s the gang’s third and last day yet there’s still a lot of LOL moments caught on video. We went to Honda Bay, specifically Snake and Pandan Island where we went snorkeling and modeling. After spoofing Marimar, Baywatch and FHM cover shots, we toured the city again for some last day shopping, food tripping and videoke!

Enjoy guys!

CokskiBlue: One Year (and 37 Days) of Video Blogging

April 18, 2007 – That was the first day I launched my very first video blog at CokskiBlue which then resided at http://cokskiblue.blogspot.com. I still remember my very unusual layout where my blog “banner” invaded almost half of the screen. With that first look, you’d see that I was trying to do something different – not exactly good on the eyes – but different.

That first vlog spawned unexpected reactions from the first (say, 4?) viewers. Whaddayaknow. They actually liked it. And apparently, the idea – blogging using video as a medium, was relatively new to the Philippine Blogging Community, which back then I didn’t know actually existed. Of course, YouTube already had HappySlip, Komikero, TouchBlue and other great Pinoy video bloggers. But I am very grateful to have found an audience who tuned in week after week, with no high expectations of what I should be doing. They just watched. And had gone with the ride.

It was an overwhelming experience.

Episode 37: The Palawan Gang Talks to Plants. Srsly.

Day 2 of Palawan Gang’s Great Escapade!

Here comes TWO brand new videos of another fun-filled day as we go to the Underground River – one of the world’s longest subterranean rivers. Also, more revelations from the gang:

1. Coy actually tries to dance! And failed miserably.
2. Kring has a blow-up doll (an exact replica of herself)!
3. Nag-init si Poyt.
4. Rick hates to eat slimy worm-like creatures (madness!).

More on the VIDEO of MADNESS after the jump!
