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

My friend and colleague was telling me about the metal buildings that are being erected near the metro railway. He said that those buildings will be designated ecozones where foreign companies can put up their offices and get a tax holiday in the process. Great idea! It will be a good way to lure foreign investors in the country.

The country needs more foreign investors to come in and create more jobs in the process. I know that medical tourism is still being pitched by Vicki Belo to the DOT. Her idea is a sound one I don’t know why the Tourism board isn’t doing something about it. There’s also the retirement houses that some sectors are pushing for the DOT to focus their campaign on. Again, I am not sure the Tourism board is doing something about it. Luring foreigners into the country can create jobs. I hope the Tourism board is listening.

No, that’s not a rock star’s name. That’s Miley Cyrus‘ pup actually! Floyd Stache Cyrus. Cute name! I like it!

I was over at Twitter when I saw Miley’s account on my sidebar. I clicked it and before I know it, I was already browsing through her uploaded photos! I found the one above and the pup’s name really cute so I thought I’d post it here for you to see

One of the must-have in Kate’s travel kit is a tan towel. She doesn’t go out of town or country without a pack with her. Kate loves her tan and if she can only make it a permanent skin of hers, she would have done so. Unfortunately she is a fair-skinned woman and regular tanning is the only solution she knows on how to maintain an olive skin.

I do think that more and more women are appreciating olive skin nowadays. No wonder tanning products are popular among fair-skinned women.

Sara Leal. That’s the name of the alleged mistress of Ashton Kutcher, married for 6 years to actress Demi Moore. The photo of the woman was finally revealed for everyone to see. Photos of the woman inside Ashton’s car and the two of them going out of a bar on his and Demi’s wedding anniversary surfaced. According to reports, both Ashton and Demi have been posting cryptic tweets purportedly pertaining to their marriage and each other.

Hey, if it’s broken, it’s broken. I think it’s bound to happen one of these days considering Ashton is almost as young as Demi’s eldest daughter Rumer!

I actually miss the Roloffs and their farm! I used to watch Little People, Big World daily at 11 in the morning at TLC. But for some reason, they stopped showing it locally so now I only get to read about them on the net. I know their show’s been canceled in the US. I just wish TLC will show reruns locally.

I miss watching this family go about their daily lives.

Revenge. This is new series from ABC which began just four days ago, September 21. I saw a teaser of the first episode while reading about an entertainment news and I was instantly intrigued and sucked in! Below is a blurb of what the show is all about…

Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp), whose real name is Amanda Clarke, decides to move back to the Hamptons to take revenge on the people who caused the destruction of her family and death of her father David (James Tupper). When she was a little girl, Emily/Amanda experienced her father getting arrested and her life getting completely destroyed. She ended up in juvenile detention center and inherited the wealth of her father on her 18th birthday. She changes her name to Emily and decides to take revenge on the people who caused the destruction of her family.

Emily’s first subject is Lydia Davis (Amber Valletta). Davis was Emily’s father’s secretary and testified against him. Davis is also friends with Victoria Grayson (Madeleine Stowe). Emily reveals to Victoria at a Memorial Day party that Lydia has been having an affair with her husband, Conrad (Henry Czerny). Emily discovers this after spotting the two at the Southfork Inn when Conrad falls ill and needs emergency medical attention. Emily/Amanda continues by becoming friends with Victoria’s son Danny (Joshua Bowman), which later turns out to be more than just a friendship. Five months later Danny is murdered at their engagement party.

Just after her arrival in the Hamptons, Emily/Amanda meets two of her old friends again. The first is Jack Porter (Nick Wechsler), who met her when she was just a little girl. They were friends in the past; now, Jack owns a boat, which is named Amanda. Emily isn’t actually pleased when she sees him again after all these years, so she flees. At the engagement party of Emily and Danny, Jack’s brother Declan is the one who finds the dead body on the beach. Secondly, there’s Nolan Ross (Gabriel Mann). Nolan was the one who picked up Emily/Amanda when she was released from the juvenile detention center and transferred her father’s wealth to her. Nolan quickly recognizes Emily and realizes exactly what her plans are. He offers to help her, but she rejects him.

Are you intrigued as well?

I will be watching the first episode either tomorrow or the day after. After doing some important errands I will be off watching Who’s Next on Emily’s Revenge list!

My sister and I would watch re-runs of MTV’s Sweet 16 whenever we can. There was one episode where the celebrator asked her mom to get vintage t shirts and have it ‘ripped’ by a well-known creative artist. It was awesome! My sister was looking for one days after we watched that episode. We really want one of those shirts!

Sigh. We can’t help but sometimes be envious of those teens who held lavish sweet 16 parties for MTV to capture. Can you imagine holding a party for all of your friends and even those you want to impress. And then there’s the celebrity guest and the car that usually comes as a gift from the parents.

When I turned 16, I celebrated it with pasta, cake and ice cream.

They are everywhere! Have you noticed it? I am talking about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. The lovey-dovey teen couple are everywhere on the web, on print, in tv! Every entertainment site that I go has something about them. It’s actually sickening already.

I think these two are bordering on overexposure. Their managers might have to rethink about having these two seen all over town. I don’t think it’s doing them any good. At all!
