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.
06:07Yay!
06:08Yay!

06:16I think pang pickleball.
06:19Tama.
06:20Yeah.
06:21I think that's the pickleball style.
06:23Wait.
06:24Do you have any projects that you wanna, ano?
