We Love Happyslip

By
If there was ever a common denominator about Filipinos is that we can't get enough humor and relentlessly try to make others laugh and feel good about themselves. This is exactly what the fresh and funny "v-log" happyslip is. Created, directed and starred by Fil-American Christine Gambito, her ingenious and infectious vlog has caused more than just a stir in youtube.com: it was voted second most popular vlog. Mostly her comedy routines poke fun at Filipino habits, gestures and peeves.

Her wikipedia description reads:

Gambito attributes her nickname "HappySlip" to her Filipino mother's mispronunciation of "half slip":

“As a child, my Filipino mom would always remind me to wear a half-slip with skirts. However, the way she would pronounce the phrase was misleading: "Your hap e-slip! Be sure to wear your hap e-slip!" So I naturally went around calling the thing a 'happy slip,' until friends at school corrected me by asking if I had a 'sad slip' as well.”

At her personal site, she explains that the phrase is not only a funny phrase from the past, but it also reflects what she would like people to feel when they watch her videos, hoping they will “slip into happiness” while watching.

Duterte [et al] lang may malasakit! I think alam na natin lahat ang sagot dito, maliban sa mga kulto ng DDS.  Trip ni Sara to Germany sa gitna ng Typhoon Carina Yung Pharmally scandal ni Michael Yang at Duterte, kumita pa habang may pandemya Drug war - walang nahuling big time, pumatay lang ng small-time pusher, at obvious na di long term solution kasi gagana lang "pag nakaupo" sila From Nutribun Republic - Bukod sa Malasakit Center, anong batas na matino na isang DDS senator ang nanguna na i-akda at ipasa? Wala. Ganyan sila kabasura. Voters and local officials should reject DDS candidates this 2025. Wala na ngang ambag, mga bobo pa. Naclear na ng COA ang isyu ng confidential funds From Rappler - The claim was made by political blogger EB Jugalbot on December 3.

I've decided to wake this blog up because of the current political landscape of the Philippines and the proliferation of disinformation skewing people's views. I vow to publish articles that are as truthful (and verifiable) as possible.

Pacquiao Owes $130K to WBC

The People's Champ - Manny "Pac-man" Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Oscar De La Hoya who is 4" taller than him on December 6 and we all just can't wait: nor does the World Boxing Council for that matter as it says that Manny still has unpaid dues amounting to $130,000. Pacquiao's camp said that they are apologetic that they have not kept in touch with the WBC as early as they could but promised to settle the said amount asap. Patriotism aside, the U.S. is having a bailout plan, Pacquiao is settling $100K++, and $100 million is going to the winner of this fight? Talk about allocation. Just tax Vegas and I'm sure it will alleviate the situation.
