00:00Hey COSMO! Welcome to another episode of COSMO Condos with Ida. That's me!

00:10We're here today with our December cover star, Maris Rakao.

00:14Yay! Studio audience, let's go! Okay, so first question, congrats on being a COSMO cover girl.

00:23Finally! What are you excited about for this month and what are you excited about as a COSMO cover girl?

00:32I'm also really excited when I got the news that I'm gonna be COSMO's cover girl for December.

00:39It's like a precious gift for my December because it's always been a dream of mine.

00:47When I was a kid, when I was a grocery store, my mom was the one who bought me.

00:54A COSMO girl. But deep in my heart, I really like COSMO.

00:59And my mom said, no, COSMO girl first.

01:02I thought, okay. I haven't ever bought COSMO.

01:08Because I don't know.

01:11It's like COSMO girl.

01:12It's like age.

01:13Did you also have a candy?

01:14Or like, total girl does COSMO again?

01:15It's like COSMO.

01:16That was the goal.

01:17Yeah.

01:18Okay, so you read COSMO growing up or like, noong mga 20?

01:22Artista na nga. I didn't know that.

01:24Noong pwede na akong gumili.

01:26So we also noticed na ang dami mong memes.

01:29And you're really into like, yung mga, yun nga, yung parang free will.

01:33And parang ang dami mong favorite namin yung pag recreate mo nung song with Aljor.

01:38Aljor.

01:45So very knowledgeable.

01:46Because I feel like I'm chronically online ka rin like the rest of us.

01:49So as a meme yourself, ano yung current brain rot mo?

01:53My current brain rot ngayon is love, joy, hope.

01:58Love, joy, hope!

01:59Wake me up inside love, joy, hope.

02:02Get it out and save me.

02:05Send it from the nothing.

02:08Love, joy, hope!

02:09Kasi yun yung era ko.

02:11For this month.

02:12Okay.

02:13Love, joy, hope.

02:14Okay.

02:15Alasas ko talaga si Coco Martin na yun.

02:19Algorithm ko siya.

02:20Okay.

02:21No.

02:22Algorithm.

02:23Okay.

02:24So I think you already kind of answered this.

02:26So December is all about rest and recovery, spending time with loved ones, and taking a breather.

02:34What's the perfect lazy day line up for you?

02:37So anong ginagawa mong on your days off?

02:40Sobrang healthy nang yung sasagot ko.

02:42Magbasa ng libro!

02:43Wow!

02:44She's that girl guys.

02:45Oo, I'm that girl now.

02:46I read books.

02:47I'm currently reading The Mountain As You.

02:50Wow!

02:51On brand ba?

02:52Hindi.

02:54Hindi.

02:55Okay naman.

02:57Ano pa ba?

02:58Oh!

02:59Baglaro ng It Takes Two sa Nintendo Switch.

03:02Okay.

03:03Okay.

03:04I feel like iuwi ko yun sa province namin at aaawayin ko yung mga pamangkin ko.

03:09It Takes Two.

03:10I'm aaaway kami.

03:11Tapos, I feel like day off thing ko na ngayon ang pickleball.

03:16Mmm, pickleball.

03:17Yeah.

03:18And I'm so excited to play sa mga days off ko that's coming this up.

03:22Okay.

03:23Sporty girl din siya.

03:24Okay.

03:25So it's finally the end of 2025.

03:27If you could describe your energy this year using one pop culture reference.

03:32Hindi ba?

03:33Ang daming pop culture.

03:34Aha.

03:35What would it mean?

03:36Alam mo, sobrang, ano siya, brain rot man siya, pero feeling ko talaga ako si Shara Madre.

03:44She's a baddie.

03:45Yeah.

03:46Oo oo.

03:47Ako si Shara Madre at pro-protectahan ko ang aking bansa.

03:51Wow.

03:52Kung pro-protectahan niyo lang din ako.

03:54I think kumilata ka na rin dito and then gagawin ka na yung baddie.

03:58Yes.

03:59Finally, as this month's Cosmo cover star, what's your message for all our Cosmo girls

04:05out there?

04:06Oh, okay.

04:07For all of the Cosmo girls out there, I think I just wanna remind them that the secret to

04:15life is just to be present at every moment.

04:20You don't have to like think about the future all the time.

04:24You don't have to let it consume you.

04:26You don't have to let your past consume you as well.

04:30What your mood for the moment will give you that direction for what's gonna happen tomorrow.

04:37And if you have bad days, learn to tell yourself, oh, tapos.

04:45Seryoso.

04:46Like yun yung trick na natutunan ko.

04:49Like, I easily have breakdowns and ang bilis ko mag-breakdown one small problem.

04:57Na.

04:58In the middle of breaking down, I just ask myself, oh, tapos.

05:03So?

05:04So that's the grounding mentality.

05:05Yeah.

05:06So like, just tell yourself or ask yourself, oh, tapos.

05:09Ano naman?

05:10Okay.

05:11Pumalpaka at naman.

05:12So parang, it helps you like shake off that feeling that you're a failure.

05:17Yeah.

05:18And parang, okay, so what?

05:19Yeah.

05:20Now what?

05:21Ano naman?

05:22Okay.

05:23It might sound very pessimistic, but it's positive at the end of the day.

05:25Yeah, it is.

05:26It is.

05:27And parang, it kind of gets rid of the negative energy that the outside world, I think, is

05:33rejecting onto you.

05:35And I feel like, we'll let other people's perspective, parang, set your mood.

05:40Yeah.

05:41And we're so pressured to live for others.

05:45Because growing up from like, teenage years to like, the present time, parang nasanay tayo na

05:54napaperceive yung buhay natin.

05:56Sometimes, good things, pwede siya mangyari in private.

06:00And that's okay.

06:01Okay.

06:02Okay.

06:03Yeah.

06:04And then we have our Cosmo merch.

06:05Oh, thank you.

06:06Our Cosmo freebies.

06:21I think that's the pickleball style.

06:23Wait.

06:39And also, I hope you can watch Sunshine on Netflix.
