Cure To Weeknight Blues | HappySlip...and Bubble Wrap
By Claudia Ho
Today my friend was feeling rather glum and I tried to cheer them up but no matter what I said, I could not lift their spirits -- they just felt blue. What was I to do?
It just so happened that I was watching videos on Youtube the previous night (such are my sedentary tendencies on weeknights) and came across a hugely popular "Vlogger" who goes by the pseudonym, HappySlip. And let me tell you, after watching her PAC MAN! video, it's pretty clear why she gets over one million viewers on almost all of her videos. She is freaking hilarious.
For three years, Christine Gambito (aka HappySlip) has been making Youtube videos with the goal to make people laugh and spread some happy around. Her trademarks are her sarcasm, her realistic impersonations of a filipino mom (hers, to be exact) and her amazing ability to contort her beautiful face into hyperbolic expressions (see top right photo above for an example).
Other things I love about this girl are:
- She's smart, confident and isn't afraid to be a clown (and most of the time she is).
- She's got balls.
- She doesn't hide her ethnic roots, she embraces it and pokes fun of her Filipino family members too...of course, in the most tasteful and respectful way.
So after exhausting all happiness-inducing methods, I finally prescribed HappySlip to my friend and I am pleased to report that the result was a rather happy one.
See her "Slip into Bubble Wrap!" video below:
