It's officially 2009! so whats up everyone? Have you assessed your life last 2008?. Before we start our year, try reviewing your life. Is it heading the way you want it to go? If not, maybe it's time to pause , take a time off and study what you have been doing...just like the saying "Rome wan't built in a day" and that also applies to our life...If we wanna make it wonderful, start with small things like loving yourself...sometimes we are focused on getting love from other people when in fact that is not their obligation, it is us who is solely responsible to give the love and care to our mind, body and spirit which it truly truly deserves.

Want a sexier, healthier body this year? live a healthy life, start playing with your kids, your nephews.. I think children are naturally active because God intended us to burn the calories from the sinful food and sedentary lives we have. Stop bein a couch potato! Make love to your hubbies or wifeys more often! that's the best exercise..

Wanna be richer? You do not need to win the lotto to be one. Richness comes in many forms..like health, happiness, peace,a complete family,good friends, talent, skills, etc etc, Just learn to appreciate what you have right here , right now, and work your way up there.As for me, i still wanna do good in acting, modeling , of course, writing blog and soon photography and graphic design.. I hope you guys get my service!!!! hint. hint..

Want more romance and love in your life? The formula is simple...Just plant seeds of love.....lots of them...and soon you will reap it's fruits...Just like seeds, some of them will not grow, some will wilt and die, but just go on and plant plant plant love, honesty, integrity and peace, and no doubt soon you will reap what you deserve!

You wanna be stylish this year, well it's also simple...you do not need the latest trends and expensive designer clothes and accessories... what you gotta have is confidence! a great personality and being true to yourself is the best style you can have. Smile to people and the worls and it will smile right back at you.!

Most of all do not forget to read my blog so we can keep in touch with our friendship, and for great stylish products like clothes, accessories, beauty stuff and loots for men and women alike, please checkout the koko superstar store www.kokostyle.multiply.com.

Thank you to all and wishing you continued success this Blessed Year 2009!
Love you!

Marc Nelson began his career in the Philippines as a model in the early part of 2001 before showbiz beckoned. This half-Burmese (Myanmar), half-Australian hottie, then accepted a hosting stint in Charlene Gonzales’ show, Keep on Dancing in ABS-CBN. Modelling projects poured in since that time.

He is one of the models I look up to because he can speak well and carry himself with such a panche.As a Celebrity model, he was able to keep his good image in tact for quite a while. It's a feat to beat especially if you are in the Philippines.
I also look up to how he takes care oof his body. He is already in his 30's but still keep it very fit.
He loves sports and joined Amazing Race Asia...thank you for being a good role model Marc!

I have a set trip for hongkong this jan 3rd. I am pretty much excited about it...


This is my first time to go there, and if there's anyone from hongkong (or who's been there) reading my blog, would you tell me the best places to go there?...and the cheapest of course....i am very adventurous when it comes to food and places.




I am all ready to eat hongkong noodles! hmmm makes me hungry just thinking about it...then I'd visit different cultural and fun places, I also wanna see HongKong's fashion style.i'd be shopping a few stuff from to update my style...I love lookin stylish yet not too much.and then maybe go to one or two clubs...stayin up too late is not my thing....




after this trip.I 'd have to re asess the things I'd be doing in my life....I have to straighten out my plans , so I'd have more direction.One thing is for sure though...I'd keep on doing good to people and to myself, because whether I plan it or not..karma is just around the corner.

The new year is coming near, and I've learned a lot of things this 2008. I have experienced so many things...but the most important thing that I've learned is that whatever happens, whether it's things that we can control or can not, our reaction to it makes a lot of difference... So if there is a crazy bully trying to ruin your day, learn how to ignore them and spend your precious energy for other important things,..like reading my blogs? hehhehe. but truth is ...now that I have grown more mature (i hope) i learned that we create our world....choose happiness, love and prosperity...because we all deserve a better life... let's have a breath of fresh air this new year...and don't forget to invite me in the great happiness of your lives...

Welcome 2009! great things are in store for us!!!!

p.s. : please refrain from using firecrackers, unless you consider a one fingered hand lucky!

i like this video a lot.. when u find someone who would be there for you through ups and down, you feel complete. even if you only have a foot , a leg, and a face to boot. :P

Today is Christmas day...When I woke up, I took my mobile phone and read a lot of christmas greetings there...It was nice to know a lot of people remembering us during Christmas... If it was up to me I'd make Christmas a weekly thing... why?...because Christmas happens only once a year, some times people forget that caring ,sharing and loving the people around them should happen everytime there is an opportunity... kiss your mom, hug your brothers, play with your nephew, laugh or cry with your friends, connect with people... we dont need to wait for christmas to give gifts. especially the gift of love....and on the other side, if christmas is a weekly thing, wow,i bet we would all be good boys and gurls so santa would give us gifts!


Merry Christmas KOKO Superstars.







I am loving watching "Project Runway" lately, mainly because of the part where the judges start critique-ing the designer's works, i love how Nina Garcia gives feisty comments about clothes that she thinks look awful...I don't know, but isn't it weird that we love watching these type of people on reality shows...just like simon cowell... but one quote that Nina gave that struck me oh so well was when she said:



"You cant make good stylish clothes if you don't have good style to begin with"
so true.. this applies not only in fashion but in other aspects of life.

now i know that mistletoes works!



being a model/actor, I get a lot of criticisms, people will have different opinions from how i look, how i perform, treat them and so many more....sometimes they quite forget that I am also human.some give nasty comments like telling the whole world the mistakes I've made in the past and regretted...I am hurt when i find out about things like that, because just like any one else , I try my hardest to be the best good person I can be, maybe I've stumbled before, because I didn't know any better, giving me constructive criticisms privately is one thing, but humiliating and degrading me in public is another...funny thing is, they tell the world that they are just doing that because they are concerned about me and they know better...

Maybe I made some mistakes in the past, but in all arrogance I say, that doesn't mean that I can't steer my wheels to be a better person right now. So don't be too self righteous... I am sorry if I unknowingly hurt some people, all i ask is to give me a chance, just like the chance we give the people we truly care about.

But even if I'm stoned with all the harsh words, I will continuously forgive, I will never be perfect just like some people think they are...but I will live my life to the fullest by forgiving...

One of the hardest, thorniest and most difficult things we humans are ever called upon to do is to respond to evil with kindness, and to forgive the unforgivable. We love to read stories about people who've responded to hatred with love, but when that very thing is demanded of us personally, our default seems to be anger, angst, depression, righteousness, hatred, etc. Yet study after study shows that one of the keys to longevity and good health is to develop a habit of gratitude and let go of past hurts.

Want to live a long, happy life? Forgive the unforgivable. It really is the kindest thing you can do for yourself. Your enemy may not deserve to be forgiven for all the pain and sadness and suffering purposefully inflicted on your life, but you deserve to be free of this evil. As Ann Landers often said, "hate is like an acid. It destroys the vessel in which it is stored."

Merry Christmas to all!

Almost everyone I know of has experienced love and get hurt... some decides to move on, some dwell on it, either ways nobody really has let go..they just decided to accept the fact that Goodbyes exist. Coz honestly... we don't really let go, we just learned the art of acceptance until we live each day without the person and we grow numb, and we get used to the numbness. But did we actually let go?

How do you let you go?

when there is so much to hold on to.

So much to fight for

And the whole world to build the dreams together.

All the more reason................................

Love that just needs to be re-lived.

Love is indeed a very complicated emotion. You stare at one another, and in the moment time stops as if you know that when your eyes first met, you are soulmates. We start to act crazy, talk impressive because we want the person to be proud of us, without realizing that the person is already proud of us even if we are at our worst state, ugly look, bad breath, stinky fart and sweaty hands.

It takes a God-given grace to find a person who will look at you in the eye and say, just show me you love me and I will give up my dreams for you, Just kiss me and I will forget we ever fought, Just hold me and I will not worry, and Just embrace me and I shall rest in harmony for eternity.

How ironic love is, that it brings the greatest feelings yet the greatest sorrow. It may light the day with laughter as it drowns you with tears. It brings you to light, yet it can take you to the darkness you will never wish to be. It brings happy memories that can also kill you at the same time. BUT THAT'S THE RISK WE CANNOT AVOID!! You have to be hurt in order to be strong, you have to stumble and fall to stand and rise and you have to feel pain in order to grow.

Why can't we just buy love in as much as we can buy our way to our dreams? Why cant we select the people we will love and who will love us back as much as we can select the path to our success? Why does trial and error has to be with someone else every time we fail? Why can't we start over with the same person like in the games when the game is over? Why is it a one time shot only,, and Why isn't there any timeouts,,,,,just goodbye's?


All of this we will come to realize as soon as we let ourselves give in to the feelings, let someone in and cut a piece of your heart to give.

You will not realize it until you take the risk that someone might go away with the piece of your heart along, the risk that you may have given the lock to your heart's door and the person may disappear carrying the lock. That you may end up with a torn heart, and you might wait a lifetime to wait for someone to come and fix it. All these you can realize when you take the risk or FALLING IN LOVE.


Yet looking at the bright side, after all the pain and suffering, no matter how painful and hard it is to bear, you'll come to realize that when the sun sets, there'll only be a brief moment of darkness and you will eventually find yourself in a familiar place once again. A place that you call home, where your friends are waiting, your mom, your dad...family...and maybe the love that has been there all along,,,with YOURSELF,,, and the sun shining on your face. It is the time where you will start to appreciate the loneliness of the night, learn to smile to the sad rainfall and perhaps dance alone in the rain, start to hear the cricket's music and appreciate the design of the heavens with each star telling stories as you write yours. And I have written mine. There is smile, there is sorrow, there is sacrifice, there is Romance and there is LOVE,,, all written across the sky.


ISN'T IT STRANGE the way things can change? nothing is permanent....so either ways...be thankful ..you were given the chance to take the RIDE OF THE WORLD TOGETHER...EVEN FOR A SHORT WHILE...a Ride called LOVE.

Have you ever felt that you are not enough...not beautiful enough, rich enough, sexy enough, talented enough, and so on and so forth enough.........and the things you think were not enough with, deter you from being loved?...

That's how I feel sometimes... But when i watched the movie "edward scissorhands" starred by my fave actors wynona rider and johnny depp... Im always touched by their magical story...
Sometimes it's okay to be not enough....because if people do feel you do not have any use for them, they go away......when you think being too independent and too strong is good, think again...

In the movie, Edward scissorhands was not enough in the looks and being normal department, why?for goodness sake, he has sharp scissors for hands. but even with that abnormality he still managed to show the beauty of innocence...the kind of innocence we see in children's eyes...
that is why Winona fell for her... I also find it funny that the avon lady there (Wynona's mom), tries to have a makeover session using her beauty products! If they can make Edward Scissorhands pretty then we should be supporting Avon!

But the morale is... do not despair finding love..all of us are abnormal in one way or the other,...avon ladies can make us look prettier but it's what's on the inside that counts...and if someone fails to see that..they don't deserve your love, and to those who can,,keep them, because they are rare....

It's a mushy love story,and a good legend on how come we have snow falling from the skies (apparently it was edward snipping away ice on top of a castle)... and the soundtrack is so good..
cheers!

I was in a great Christmas Party last night in Makati,It was hosted by Mister Mel Meer, the owner of a popular fashion line for men in the Philippines called Bergamo...He is already old and very rich, yet he still has the vigor to enjoy and celebrate life.. I had the opportunity to chat with him during the party.... I told him how I was amazed by the grandeur of his house, the possessions he acquired...the travels he made in different countries.... He told me that I am still young and the world is at the palm of my hands... I said Thank you...








Then I asked him.."at the end of the day, what do you still long for ?.. it seems you have everything.."








he didn't say anything.. he just laughed at my question but I saw his eyes...amidst the lavish parties he hosts , I was wondering how come he doesn't seem quite fulfilled...








maybe it's just me...I think it t would be nice to possess lots of luxurious things in life, travel all over, get tired from shopping and travelling...but at the end of the day, I still want to go home, and meet the one I truly love and loves me in return, nothing beats that...knowing that you do not only have a house to possess but a heart you can call your home.








But then again dear readers, I don't mind a new cell phone.! just kidding...! no. Im serious.hahaha.




happy holidays...and please don't end your day without reading my blog. :)

I love wearing armani, I like the quality and the fit.



I also like lacoste, like the white cap i am wearin in the pic.



That's why everytime I go shopping for clothes I make sure that I go to their boutiques,everywhere I go...so in my upcoming trip to Hongkong, I'd surely shop til I drop for these brands...And when I think about it..what does Lacoste mean? is it a surname or a french word? can someone tell me what...



And Mister armani, if you are reading my blog, I can model for you anytime...we can do ex deals ..hahhaha :)..im serious.



To be successful in any endeavor, you must have some people you look up to, and I am no different than anyone else..modelling and showbizness is quite tough, but I continously keep my self confidence and faith in these industry , because of these people who inspired me... they showed me that "once you believe it strongly, you can definitely achieve your goals, no matter what the obstacle is..." Here are my role model "models"
PATRICK RIBSAETTER
NICKY SURA TEERAKOL


MARC NELSON



TYRA BANKS


they are very good role models, because thet do not only possess good physical features but they are remarkably intelligent because they stand up for good causes. Keep it up.. I hope one day I'd be an inspiration to some people like them...

MY 2 WEEK simple FAT BUSTER PLAN


1. magsisi kayo sa nagawa nyong kasalanan na katakawan - THE FIRST STEP IS ACCEPTANCE. well ganun talaga, more calories in and less calories out = fat


2. START to USE the stored FATS- simulan nyo na gamitin maigi ang fats nyo para mawala.
maglinis kayo house, magsayaw sa club, walk ur dog, walk in the mall, play dance revo, gumamit ng tabo habang naliligo, play with children or with your friends., do household chores.. and xempre do some weight training and aerobic exercise on the side...like sex? kidding. no im not kidding...hehe.. breathe deeply and increase ur heart rate. sweat all the fats out.


3. WATCH WHAT YOU EAT AND DRINK - this doesnt mean you just munch on carrots for the rest of ur life, you just got to make healthier decisions. like steamed versus fried, lean chicken versus pork, diet coke versus regular coke, water versus iced tea,
vegetables and fruits is good. choose lean servings of meat. and dont eat the yellow part of the egg.
avoid dairies, like butter, milk, cream and cheese. or go for their lower fat substitutes (like soya milk)
NO or less SUGAR na, less carbs (pasta, rice, white breads), no oily stuff,
watch your portions too. like when you go sa starbucks, choose the smallest size kahit pa sabihin nung barista na yung pinakamalaki is just 10 pesos na lang ang diffrence sa maliit. sige ka.. 10 inches din yan sa bewang. hahaha.
learn to cook ur food the healthy way. there are countless of healthy dishes you can eat that tastes good. i'll share some of my recipes in this blog soon.. naks.
OH DRINK TEA..especially green tea.. use honey to sweeten it coz its scientifically proven to increase ur metabolism.
DON'T drink BEER. check nyo na lang mga tomador laki mga tyan.
dont starve urself. eat in small amounts . like 6x a day. this will help u increase your metabolism.

Just set a GOAL and achieve it.kayang kaya yan. IT's fun being active and eat and live healthy.. record ur improvement. so ud know what works for you. SUMMER is approaching near so we gotta be ready to boot our sexy bods! tapos pag dating ng holidays! lamon uli!!!!! ..nah im just kidding.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.


Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.


LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were for a reason, a season or a lifetime.





A lot of people asks me what KOKO Superstar stands for? ..

my model idol Patrick Ribsaetter has "Universal Player"

Great artist/singer Beyonce has "Sasha Fierce"
and other great personalities have their own pseudo names
they give to their alter egos...
I choose KOKO Superstar.


KOKO Superstar is someone who has a big appetite for life. He is strong and determined to achieve his dreams. He Overcomes challenges with finesse and class. He or She doesn’t need to be someone who achieved and possessed so much. He could be a KOKO Superstar just by knowing that he is able to live his life to the fullest -have fun, be happy, loving ,be romantic, laugh and cry with friends, be stylish or maybe be a bit crazy sometimes, to name a few..., but most of all he is someone who is wise and spiritual enough to share the wonderful blessings he has in this short yet meaningful journey called life... Kudos to all of you KOKO Superstars! ... :)

being chosen to be put on headers of different websites could be quite flattering and I really appreciate that these people put me there to represent what they find beautiful...
Although I still believe that what makes up a big percentage of beauty and a good life is the attitude.

Who want to live in happiness? everybody says yes , but the happiness is not in the future or in the good meories in the past, it is in the moment, we live these moments thinking about a past will never return back or a future which is very foggy and full of suspicions!why we don't just live the moment to the bone with out giving a look at these two things,( I know it is impossible) but let us live 50% of our time in the present and forget about every other time.it is like these banners in the sky which tells you as advertisements" live the moment" or " Just Do It" , I want to change them to " Just Live The Moment", If you live the very moment you will be relaxed full of the overwhelming feeling of the moment, enjoying every single breathe of it , taking full advantage of the Great attitude you have.wow that's amazing!
