Dishing out life through the couch she is sitting on.

Part of the wall

When we were having our house renovated a few months ago, I wanted to use porcelain tiles for the kitchen wall. Part of it anyway. But since I didn’t find the design and color I like, I opted to just postpone it. Now that I found the one I like at BuyTile.com, I just might get it installed either by next week or by the first week of September.

It’s the Mardi Gras!

Chris Brown and the viral video to the tune of Forever

I really pity Chris Brown. His budding career has gone kaput! The viral video of the best wedding entrance I’ve seen so far has reminded me of him. Chris has so many hit songs and Forever is one of those. It could have boosted his career more if he’s still as popular as before, this viral video.

Chris should become an example to those with anger issues. Get help! If you feel this tendency to be violent, hurting others physically and emotionally, go and get the help of a professional. It can make a huge difference! Had Chris thought of that, he could have avoided hitting Rihanna and the whole brouhaha over that hitting incident should never have happened.

Yes, we got mad at him for hitting a woman, choking her, almost killing her in the process. But when you think about it, this guy has issues he neglected to deal with. He needs help more than anything else.

Hating on K-Stew!

Can someone please tell me why Kristen Stewart looks like she’s being asked to swallow a pail of rotten nails when she’s being interviewed??? Doesn’t the ingrate know that without those interviews, people won’t look twice at her because it’s the men in the Twilight movie franchise the fans are interested in! She’s always looking like she’s being forced to go on interviews. She frowns a lot and looks like $#!t when she attends anything Twilight-related. Someone should give this girl a slap on the face to make her realize that if it weren’t for Twilight, she’ll still be a nobody in Hollywood!!!

I watched videos from the Comic Con 2009 and let me tell you, Ashley Greene was way better looking than this greasy-haired gal!

Always looking mighty pissed over something!

The 2 boys are way prettier than her!

Bigger than the couch

It seems like my hips are doubling in size each passing day! I definitely gained weight since I plopped down on my couch to start this blog. Hay. I think downing weight loss pills will help but I have to get off the couch to be able to keep the unwanted weight off! Otherwise, I would end up as big as my couch. Worse, bigger than my two couches combined! Now, that is a depressing thought…

Working on the couch

Meanwhile, without the rv I am dreaming about, I would like to go and book a stay at one of the Outer Banks rentals. Just to get away for a few days, even a weekend, and unwind. You would think that just because I am on my couch most of the time that it is relaxing. Could be if I am only sitting and watching tv all the time. But for the information of many, I might be sitting on my couch but I am working my ass off 7 days a week! I need to. Otherwise, I might end up eating my couch instead of sitting on it.

Roadtrips

I got envious with a family friend when I overheard them telling the father couch potato that they just bought an rv, complete with an rv warranty should something happens to it. I also would like one for our family! We can bring it when we go to the countryside. Or when we go on road trips! That will save us some serious bucks because accommodations here in the country are insanely priced.

Just thinking about owning one… I am planning where to go for the next few months already! Off the couch!

Mourning period

You wouldn’t believe how sad my cousin was upon the death of certain celebrities she liked so much. It’s like she’s a relative of them. I’ve always said that we are social creatures. We love being in touch with others, no matter if that others are out of our reach. Whenever my cousin hears someone die, she goes to this certain mourning period. It doesn’t matter how the person died. It can be from old age, in which case the death should be celebrated because of a fruitful life, or from various forms of cancer like mesothelioma which is very common nowadays. She still mourns them like she’s a relative of the celebrity.

What a shame!

Jon Gosselin of the TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8, instead of spending time with his EIGHT (8) children, would rather spend time in St. Tropez with his mistress. Shame on you, Jon!

Supressed

If I don’t drink an appetite suppressant soon, I will be adding pounds to my already overweight body. Aargh! I am always hungry. The weather has something to do with it. Couple that with the irregular mealtimes I am in at the moment and you now know how weight I am gaining at the moment. You guess it right! A lot!

I need to suppress this appetite. Asap!

Multi tasking

Do you know how I finish my tasks at night? I am half listening to something while writing. Multi tasking is the name of the game for me. Either a song or a video that I can listen to again and again. On Wednesdays and Fridays, I would listen to this local station playing old music. Last night, while waiting for the term insurance quotes I asked from an old agent, I watched a series of cooking shows. Finished in under 4 hours! Whew!

WW: Paris and Blanket

This photo of Paris seemingly reassuring her brother, Blanket, really touched my heart.

Daughtry does Lady Gaga

Chris Daughtry performed acoustic and solo on a German radio station a version all his own of the popular Lady Gaga dance hit, Poker Face.

Good song, great singer! Love this version!

What do you think?

What’s the first thing you notice when you receive Baby Birth Invitations? It’s fun, colorful and full of life! That’s what I notice anyway. For parents out there wanting to give out birth announcements, I am sure you want the recipients to feel the joy of your news right away. Better make the design of your baby announcements colorful!

Have them printed and shipped immediately so as to share the joy of having a baby born to the family as soon as possible.

Must Read!

Please read this article, My close encounter with Michael Jackson, by Gwen J. Cariño and be part of her recollection of her brief encounter with the King of Pop while he was in Manila for his History concert.

For whatever he’s done, you can’t argue the fact that he’s made so many people happy during his lifetime.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Capt. Jack Sparrow’s London hospital visit

If this doesn’t make you a fan or love him more, I don’t know what will.

Johnny Depp visited the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and surprised young patients when he came in dressed as his Pirates Of The Caribbean character Captain Jack Sparrow. Awww! He actually took time out from his busy schedule to give a smile to the young patients. He visited several wards, posed for pictures with the kids, and was so friendly with all the children. What a man!

Johnny previously donated $1.5 million (£1 million) to the hospital as a thank you for looking after his 10-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, when she was treated for kidney failure in 2007.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I haven’t watched the movie yet. I stand by my opinion that including Megan Fox in the movie, past and present, is the most ridiculous decision of the people behind it.

And want to read more ridiculous things about the movie? Read the article below…

Burning Questions: The 10 Most Confusing Things in ‘Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

I still want to watch the movie despite the presence of Megan Fox in it. Just to feast my eyes on the robots and to relive my childhood days :)
