The Couch Potato Dishing out life through the couch she is sitting on.

Suri Cruise and her iPad

Suri Cruise

Oh the life of the rich and famous!

It is being discussed on the net right now how the often photographed Suri Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, now has an iPad. A 4-year-old little girl carrying an iPad she tinkers with?!

People are saying that the little girl is becoming such a spoiled brat in the eyes of the media following her popular family. She is often seen wearing fashionable (obviously expensive) girly clothes and kiddie heels and wearing a lipstick.

Personally, I just think the spotlight is on the little girl too much. Tom and Katie should find a way to shield the little girl from the media. She is often portrayed as a spoiled kid when we all don’t really know how she is in private. Her parents are rich and famous. If I am a parent of a little kid and I have a lot of money at my disposal, I think I might be spoiling my kid, too, even inadvertently.

So let’s all leave the kid alone. Let her live her privileged life. Tom and Katie should just address these issues about their little girl and parents, tell your kids that Suri is different so she’s not someone to emulate.

Karate Kid 2010

06.06.2010 · Posted in Movielandia

Karate Kid 2010

The new Karate Kid starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan will be shown locally on Friday, June 11, 2010. I was a fan of the original Karate Kid starring Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita. So when I heard that a new version of the Karate Kid would be done by Will Smith’s son, I really waited for it. I loved Jaden in The Pursuit of Happyness. He is such an adorable kid and a good actor growing in the mold of his dad’s acting calibre.

I will watch the movie on Friday. I will update you on how it is so stay tuned.

The hours he keeps

06.06.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

He realized that to relieve joint pain, he must get off his swivel chair and start giving his limbs some workout. He works a 9 to 5 job, but most of the time he works until late at night. There just isn’t enough time for him to shake off his limbs and get a proper workout because of the hours he keeps.

So what he did now is schedule a 30-minute workout everyday. When he wakes up, after drinking coffee, he will start working out by walking and jogging. Or sometimes, if he gets too lazy, he will just use the weights he bought for a workout in his room.

I think that’s enough for now until he finds a balance in his work and personal lives.

Blog clean up

06.02.2010 · Posted in About the Blog

So I managed to narrow down this blog’s Categories into 11. Just take a look at the new categories of this blog at my sidebar.

It was a tedious task but I didn’t stop until I finish it.

I feel happy about what I accomplished today.

Expect more posts to be published within the next few days…

Happy blogging to all!

Some changes to The Couch Potato

06.01.2010 · Posted in About the Blog

The Couch PotatoNotice the change in themes here? If you are a regular, I know you noticed it right away. But for those who are here for the first time, this is a new theme I am using. The previous one where there’s a header, I kept for now. Maybe I’ll use it again. For now, this clean one will work better for me. I still have the TCP’s logo, though, which you can see in the top right-hand most corner of this blog.

I must admit that I’ve been neglecting this blog a bit. Only a bit because I do still update from time to time. But unlike before where there was an explosion of entries twice a week. The past few months saw a decline in the number of entries posted per week.

That will change now. There will be at least three entries a week. That I promise. I will tackle the issue of too many categories for this blog (an issue to me, that is). I will cut it down to at least 5 categories only. And I will do everything to get back this blog’s rank in the next round of update.

Let me know if you have any suggestions to me ;)

Catch some breeze

05.29.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

I ought to buy some outdoor chaise lounges. It is really hot in the country right now! My sisters and I got into the habit of staying outdoors at our small terrace at night time, just to catch some breeze. I am thinking that since we often hang out there for at least two hours, why not make ourselves comfortable while at it, right?

I am definitely buying those chaise lounges. I will have to check my funds if I have enough to buy four.

Work of art

05.29.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

I like the glass mosaic tile that I saw in a friend’s house. They used it in their altar to give it that church effect and I like it! I was thinking I could use the tile for the powder room at home. It will look like a work of art for sure!

Unfortunately, I don’t have the budget to buy one yet and to get someone to do the tiling. I still have to save up for it and by then I can have it done.

Diets and me

05.29.2010 · Posted in Interesting!

There are diets that work, and there are some that don’t. Trust me, I’ve tried quite a number of the fad diets and I think it really depends on a person’s response to it but not all of it work. Or it might not worked for me but did for others. Who knows, right?

Anyway, I am trying out a diet that supposedly worked for someone I know. It might work for me, too, since we’re both of the same body size and the same aches and pains in our body. I still have to check with my doctor about it but I think I’ll try it out.
