#194: Late night show gaffe gone viral

I'm a night person and I watch late night talk shows. I would surf between Leno, Conan, Letterman shows and the likes.

Recently, Leno's new show is not doing well.  There's report that NBC is bumping out Conan in favor of Leno to reclaim the 11:30pm time.  Other talk show hosts obviously is siding with Conan who seems to be the victim of NBC's incompetence.

This gaffe is now gone viral. People around the world have something to say about this including, of all people, Hitler.

#193: I think I'll go to Boston

I think I'll start a new life. I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name.

I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather, I think I'll get a lover and fly em out to Spain...

I think I'll go to Boston

I think that I'm just tired. I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind...

I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of the sunset, I hear it's nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice...

#192: Nanette

We used to call her Jamie Rivera (Notice the uncanny resemblance?).

She used to cut our hair. But never wet your hair before hand because she won't do it.  She would keep a banana on her bath robe (dipig is her favorite). She likes chicken heart, though I would ate it sometimes because it's connected to the liver.

She would scream watching Pops and Martin  and can't stand Sharon Cuneta (maarte daw).

She left the Philippines just I had my first born. She's married to Mike (haven't met him in person but I heard he's a loving husband). She's enjoying being a mom to Aisha. And of course bugs me all the way from Canada for her computer problems.

Last time I saw her was in 1997, that's an eternity. But thanks to the Internet, we keep in touch. We had a two hour conversation over the holidays catching up on things.

Lastly, she loves this Joey Albert Song. To you my "still young" sis, Happy Birthday.

#191: Reading materials at Kaiser

It's always a common site when you go to a clinic where reading materials are everywhere. It's a way to tell you that "you're gonna get bored waiting and here's something to read while we let you wait".

Well, here's a interesting reading material at Kaiser while me and my daughter Deirdre were waiting to see a doctor. On the first glance it just another one of those magazines.

But wait take another look.

Yes this magazine is dated August 23, 1988. This is even older that my daughter. So you think Kaiser is High tech?

#190: Success?

Twenty eight years ago, I wrote on my year book "the fruit of trying is success". Now I wonder if I tried enough to be succesful.

But here's the thing. Are you willing to invest $529.00 to be free from any mobile plan?
