Definitely No Cold Feet Here

ADORABLE!! And even more adorable are the grandpas and grandmas clapping along to Chris Brown's Forever! HAHA.



And speaking of Walk-Down-The-Aisle songs, a schoolmate of mine got married recently and hers was Sting's Fields of Gold, but of Eva Cassidy's version. (HOW PERFECT IS THAT CHOICE?!?)

My friend's sister who was present at the ceremony told us that everyone had goosebumps, most especially when the big church doors opened on cue and the bride was standing at the end of the aisle immersed in sunlight.

...Which then made another partially-skeptical friend of mine to admit, "I'm starting to believe in Romance again."

Farewell Video For Conan O'Brien

:'(
This made me tear up. So sad!

I remember I started watching Late Night in 1993-1995 when I came across his show on cable. I was just 11-13 years old back then. I practically grew up with him haha. I've seen his pilot episode, his staring contests with Andy, his 9/11 speech, the birth of the hornymanatee.com, and yes, even that infamous Rebecca Romijn kiss.
He's basically the reason why I'm a semi-insomniac.

It's not like he's quitting the industry, haha. But it's still sad..
I'll miss him on his Late Night set! :(
I didn't even get the chance to see him live in NY! BOOHOO haha.

Well I'm sure the new show's going to be as funny as Late Night. But it won't be the same.. Hopefully he'll still be the same deadpanning and self-deprecating comedian I fell in love with. Sorry, obsessed Conan fan talking.


***Watch out for him on The Tonight Show! :)

Conan O'Brien and Stephen Colbert String Dance Off

VIDEO: On The Street With Bill Cunningham

Haha.
Everyone's a masochist to a certain degree.

Case in point:
My nude satin peep-toe booties. 4" heels.

We have a love-hate relationship. ♥

Happy New Year!

And in Steve Jobs' words:

Stay hungry.
Stay foolish.

Hi. My Name Is Sharleen. And I'm A Conanholic.

I say it's admiration.
They say it's obsession.


Ahhh. What I would give to be able to watch him live.

David Gray's Shine

I can see it in your eyes

What I know in my heart is true

That our love it has faded

Like the summer run through

So we'll walk down the shoreline

One last time together

Feel the wind blow our wanderin' hearts

Like a feather

But who knows what's waiting

In the wings of time

Dry your eyes

We gotta go where we can shine

Don't be hiding in sorrow

Or clinging to the past

With your beauty so precious

And the season so fast

No matter how cold the horizon appear

Or how far the first night

When I held you near

You gotta rise from these ashes

Like a bird of flame

Take my hand

We've gotta go where we can shine

For all that we struggle

For all we pretend

It don't come down to nothing

Except love in the end

And ours is a road

That is strewn with goodbyes

But as it unfolds

As it all unwinds

Remember your soul is the one thing

You just can't compromise

Step out of the shadow

We're gonna go where we can shine

We're gonna go where we can shine

We're gonna go where we can shine

(and look, and look)

Through the windows of midnight

Moonfoam and silver

LANVIN Spring-Summer '08

The collection that would inspire even more collections.

Premiered last October 2007.

No other fashion label has ever given me this much goosebumps.

Lanvin's Spring-Summer line is truly breathtaking; the artistry, the colors, the fabric choices, the fluidity of the garments, and the overall Parisian feel.



I remember on first day of fashion school our teacher asked us to look for one fashion designer or a fashion label that would serve to be the foundation, the inspiration of what kind of fashion designers we would come to be.
"Choose one, read up on it, and study the designs. Learn as much as you can about the designer/label," he said. That was almost two years ago.

I think I finally found mine.



Mr. Alber Elbaz, thank you.

Hamsterrific! XP

Aww. Tres cute!

I Need My Conan and SNL Fix

I still haven't forgiven SkyCable for removing Conan and SNL from their program line-up.




At least they finally got The Colbert Report on Maxxx. Yay!
One less reason to switch cable providers! :D

Stereophonics' It Means Nothing

Did we lose ourselves again?
Do we take in what's been said?
Do we take the time to be
All the things we said we'd be
And we bury heads in sand
But my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing

You can find yourself a God
Believe in which one you want
'Coz they love you all the same
They just go by different names
When we fly our flag today
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing

It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you

And the sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
In my brain or on the train
I hope that I'm with you
'Cos I wouldn't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing

It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you

They Are SO Not Amused.

Uh oh. That dog Wicket looks pissed.

Little Pink Ballerina

Sketch dated 01/18/07.
I just discovered Adobe Photoshop and was excitedly experimenting when I made this rough doodle. Naturally, having a fascination with ballet, I chose ballet shoes as my subject. I wasn't finished with it yet but I kinda like how it turned out quite unpolished.

Anyone else out there who's interested in watching ballet?

I've been inviting friends for years now to watch one with me but I think they would rather watch paint dry. Haha. Is ballet really that unappealing???

I guess my love for ballet started when I donned my first ever pretty little pink tutus (although I hated the tulle 'coz it was itchy) while I was in Kindergarten. Aww, I can still remember the smell of our ballet studio. I miss it. We had this big presentation at the Meralco Theater and I can still picture the audience as I danced from the second line of little ballerinas onstage. We practiced real hard for that performance but I'll let you in on a little secret. I cheated with my pirouettes. Shhh.

Sadly, I was a ballerina only for 2 years, though I never stopped liking it. I try to collect photos, prints, displays of ballerinas and try to watch all the dance movies out there. Centerstage is my favorite ballet movie so far.

Here's a video that is also a favorite of mine from another movie called The Company:

Well, no one in my family really likes ballet. None of my friends do, too.

I have tried asking them but what I usually get is laughter, followed by "Are you serious?", and then followed by some more laughter.

I don't care, I still think ballet is inarguably cooler than Backstreet Boys, noh! (Hi Tif! :D Haha.)

Although some would be real sweet enough to volunteer to accompany me (even if it's pretty obvious they want nothing to do with it. Haha.), I'd politely decline since I don't really want to hassle them.

If I do get desperate, though, I might just go watch ballet alone.

Alexi Murdoch

I think of a reason why I should buy a pair of Noise Cancelling headphones and I immediately think of Alexi Murdoch.
Even on his MySpace page, he wrote under Sounds Like:
listen with headphones
And that's exactly how I would describe him as well.


I love everything about his music. His voice, his strums, his melody, and his lyrics.
His songs are perfect to listen to whenever you're feeling a little introspective or are in the mood to escape.


Alexi Murdoch's All My Days

Just a guy and his guitar.
Nothing beats pure, infabricated music.
