“But meron kasi akong mga projects na napag-commit-an ko since, like, late last year, and of course, kailangan ko pa rin i-fulfill yung obligations ko with them.
“So, tatapusin ko lahat ng yun. But for now, it’s really the JSM Channel,” sabi ni Jodi sa media conference.
Tatlong shows na ang magsisimulang mag-streaming si JSM sa March 4.
Merong pang-wellness and self-care na pinamagatang Live Light.
Ang isa pang show niya ay ang nakakaaliw na Let’s Drink To That, isang pampa-good vibes lifestyle show kung saan kasama niya sina Cheena Crab at AC Soriano.
Excited din si Jodi sa isa pa niyang show na JSM Travel and Tours na, aniya, travel with a heart show.

HOW MUCH IS JODI STA. MARIA WILLING TO SHARE ABOUT HER LIFE?
Ngayong in-effort ni Jodi itong kanyang YouTube channel, dito kaya ay bubuksan niya ang makulay niyang buhay?
Ani Jodi: “In terms of the shows, that was actually one of the very first questions that I asked myself. 'How much am I willing to share?'
“And you know naman, in terms of sharing, just because you’re on YouTube, it doesn’t necessary have to mean that you just open the book and, 'Hey, guys.' Invite them, 'Come on, read. Ito ang nangyari sa buong buhay ko.'
“No. It’s not going to be like that.
"What you’re going to see, is still me. Ahhh, like, parts of my life. Not my whole life.
“And I think, what I would want to share are those with valuable lessons.
“Kasi sometimes, yung mga nangyayari naman na hindi mo talaga necessarily kailangan nang i-share.
"But I think, those things that happened to me, those are that I would want to impart to the viewers.
“And if they learned something from it, if they picked up something from it, and then that’s good.”

JERRY OLEA
Matagal nang may YouTube channel si Jodi, pero binago niya ito ngayon na matagal daw niyang pinlano.
“Even before Lavender Fields ended, it was already on my plans.
“Kumbaga, I think I’m just that person na parang, 'Okay, what do I do next?' Parang hindi talaga ako mapirme.
“So, mid-July, that was last year, dun ko talaga naisip na, 'Okay, maybe I can do something with my YouTube channel.'
“I can revamp it, and I can maybe produce shows and contents that I guess, you know… that’s what I did,” pakli ni Jodi.

Saad ni Jodi: “I don’t want to say na it’s a platform for me to practice my degree so that makes all of you a guinea pig.
“It’s really just me wanting to be able to share with the viewers, you know, the things that are important to me, the things that are valuable to me or that carries valuable lessons, the things that I experienced and, you know, some of my thoughts, di ba?
"I just wanna to put it out there.
“And if somebody kinda relates to that, di ba? Then, they can just comment.
"And then from there, it can actually be, like, you know, a conversation like what I said a while ago, that there’s going to be a Facebook page.
“Like sort of, you know, support group for, you know, a safe space for people na parang, 'Sige, kung ano yung gusto mong pag-usapan, kung ano yung o dinadamdam mo o binibitbit mo, sige ilagay mo lang diyan.'”
NOEL FERRER
Ang isa pang sobrang masaya para sa JSM Channel ni Jodi ay sina Cheena Crab at AC Soriano.
Sila ang co-hosts ni Jodi sa show na Let’s Drink To That.
Kasama ni Jodi si Cheena sa Lavender Fields, at si AC naman ang content creator na nakatuwaan ang mga ini-spoof niya sa Broken Marriage Vow.
Ang ganda raw ng Pamasko ni Jodi sa kanila nung kinausap silang maging bahagi ng Let’s Drink To That.
CHEENA CRAB AND AC SORIANO
Sabi ni Cheena, feeling niya ay bagay siya sa show na good vibes lang.
Aniya: “So, parang gusto ko yung idea na siyempre alam mo yung pinag-uusapan namin lahat na napapanood mo sa labas, yung naiinit ang ulo, nabubuwisit ka pag nai-scroll mo sa Facebook, 'Ano ba yan!' Hindi maganda, di ba, kasi puro negativity naibibigay sa yo.
“Wherein dito, yung napapag-usapan namin na is inspiring stories nga na, parang, 'Ay, may ganun pa pala? Oh my God, nakakatawa.'
“Kasi on the spot lang naman namin na, oo, ibinigay yung script, walang background.
“Tapos dun mismo sa studio, napag-usapan namin na bago namin ibigay yung mga opinyon namin… may kanya-kanya kaming opinyon, may sarili kaming saltik.
“But then again, nag-e-end up kami sa parang, 'Oh my God. Nakaka… di ba?' May ganun kami na para kaming mga sira-ulo.
“I’m really happy and excited na mapanood nilang lahat yung mga isi-share namin kasi sobrang ganda talaga.”
Sabi naman ni AC: “Ang saya, pagpasok ng taon may trabaho parang the whole year, good juju yun. Katulad nga ng show namin na parang good juju lang.
“Hanggang sa to the point na actually na nag-message ako kay Ate Jodi or nasabi ko yata sa yo after the first ep.
“'Ate, thankfully hindi naman tayo toxic positive, 'no?' Kasi, yun yung iniiwasan ko din baka mamaya parang GV, GV.
“Siyempre, you should be also be aware kung ano yung nangyayari sa labas, di ba?
“Pero thankfully hindi ganun yung show namin na parang may slice of life, pero sini-celebrate kung sino yung mga paksa, o kung sino yung topic of the day, kung ano yung mga good deeds nila, kung ano yung mga nagawa nila for the country.”
