We Love Happyslip
Saturday, November 08, 2008



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.
