Late Night With Conan O'Brien ♥♥♥

Thanks to his writers, producers, band, staff, and those who always stood by him (especially in his starting years) for making sure we get to have our Conan fix every night.

And thanks to Conan for the amazing 16 years, 2,725 episodes of Late Night.

You are the reason we go to bed with smiles on our faces.

Can't wait for your next stint on The Tonight Show.

I wouldn't miss it for the world! :D

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! :)

An Über-Quick Rant

Don't you just hate ALBUM RE-RELEASES???


It's happened to me multiple times:

I check on album updates from an artist I love.
I go regularly to music stores to see if that CD has come out.
I buy the CD.
A few months thereafter, they re-release the EXACT SAME CD with ANOTHER Bonus disc.
And worse even, it's an LP more often than not.



ARRRGHHH.
I literally can't decide which I hate more. This or Coriander.

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. ♥

Wake up one morning you realize

Your life is one big compromise

Stuck in the job you swore was only temporary

Feel like the world is passin' you by

Never done all the things you wanted to try

Stuck in one place, got a pain in your face

From all your stressin' out

You ask yourself there's got to be more than what I'm livin for

You ask yourself there's got to be somethin else

Somethin' more, more, more

CHORUS

Well let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Feel like theres nothin', nowhere to go

You try and fight but you can't let go

Of all the pain, got so much to gain

Now is the time

You ask yourself there's got to be somethin else

Somethin' more, more, more

CHORUS

Let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

You ask yourself there's got to be more than what I'm livin for

You ask yourself there's got to be somethin else

Somethin' more, more, more...

CHORUS

Well let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Well let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Let the sun shine on your face

And don't let your life go to waste

Now is the time, got to make up your mind

Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Happy New Year!

And in Steve Jobs' words:

Stay hungry.
Stay foolish.

Hyper When Hungry

Friday night, us four again in the car: ahya (driving), dihya (passenger seat), Daddy and me.

We were on our way to pick up Elaine from her bakeshop Carla and Elaine's in Greenhills and as expected, traffic was slow that night.


Around 7ish, Dad was getting hungry and we soon discovered that hunger was one of the three things* (and counting) that triggered his hyperactivity and heightened talkativeness, or what my dihya would refer to as "second childhood."

*(1) Golf the next day. He couldn't even sleep due to his excitement. And it's not like he just started to play the sport. He's been a golfer for more than a decade.

(2) Spicy food. Proven by Kocco's Hot Tuna Bread.

(3) Hunger.

Because of the traffic, my ahya had to look for a different route so we could go home in time for dinner. My dihya suggested that he take a shortcut dad had taught him a few weeks ago.

Remembering that my dihya was skeptical of his shortcut before, dad goes: Ooohhhh!! Iyan yung tinuro ko sa iyo dati. Sabi mo hindi OK yung turo ko tapos ngayon tinuturo mo na kay Ahya. Tama ako noh? OK yung daan ko. Aminin mo. Tama yung tinuro ko. Aminin! Uuyyy aminiiiiin!!! (then putting on a girly voice) AMIIIINIIIIIII--- (he cuts himself off, distracted by the car shop named Mother's we just passed by).

2 seconds after,

Daddy, singing a John Lennon song, feel na feel: "MOOOTHERRRRR...."

Someone give this guy a sedative. HAHAHA.

Subject: So sorry for your loss.

I don't know if we have read your beloved's obituary, but my husband and I read your secret -- one of our favorite things is to read PostSecret on Sunday morning when we're still bleary-eyed and in need of coffee, making up stories about the poster's lives -- and he hugged me because it made me cry, and touched the screen saying, "it's really beautiful."

So you just became a part of our story. I wanted to share this with you, because I would be honored to be a part of yours.
