Jelaine the Couch Potato

My name is Jelaine. My parents apparently got my name from the closing credits of some 80's TV show. Having said that, I guess I'm destined to become a couch potato.

I don't think I can ever survive without cable TV, especially such channels as AXN, Star World or Crime Suspense. I can spend my entire weekend just watching reruns – catching up on all the shows I missed all throughout the week. I can even watch the same episodes of the same shows yet feel as if I'm watching them all for the first time.

For me, there's no such thing as watching too much TV. I also don't believe that watching TV per se can fry your brains and make you stupid. Personally, it's what you watch and how you watch them…

Share-worthy Video Clips

I've been a StupidVideos.com fan for the past two to three years. Here are a few interesting clips that I recently discovered or redicovered and being the couch potato that I am, most of them are needless to say, TV adverts. I'll be posting another batch of links for cat videos. =) Enjoy!!!

Life and Work Balance

I've been quite busy these past few weeks with my new job. But I'm glad to say that I've been pretty good at maintaining what I once thought to be an unattainable concept of life and work balance. Work has been very tiring, especially since I'm still adjusting to a longer commute, that's why I make it a point that I'm able to relax and have fun during weekends. I really hope that I can truly maintain this. I really like my new job and would like to succeed in it...

My problem with kids

I never liked kids. The only time I actually enjoy a child's company is when the child is cute, talented, smart, and well-behaved. I hate kids that are ugly, KSP, and stubborn. People often tease me that if I ever have a kid and he/she turns out to be a "reject," I'd throw the fucked up kid away. Oh and by the way, over the years, my definition of what a kid is has evolved... I'm not just talking about those little wee ones. When I say kids, that include everyone else below the age of 20 (sometimes even 22). I hate them all.

I recently had a few encounters with the worst kids I've known. Some are with those little dykes who get themselves into things they don't even understand, making me feel that they give lesbianism a bad name. Then there's this little liar of a bitch, with whom I'm unfortunately related to. She has caused the family a lot of stress over the past few months and it doesn't seem like she's ready to back down anytime soon. She continues to scheme and lie and screw with everyone. Hell, I just want to wring her neck after beating her up real good. Wish I can say more but I think this is enough. Whew!

Going back to the basics

Recent events have been making me feel that I'm going back to the way I was at least a decade ago. I've been eating more fish and chicken and ditching eating meat (especially pork) and junk food. I've started driving practice again with my Dad as my driving instructor. I've been having the same thoughts in my head which seem awfully familiar. I don't know where I'm going with this sort of personal homecoming but I'm happy. After all, I think I love my old self better than the person I've become over the years.

My Problem with Ellen

I love Ellen Lee DeGeneres with all my heart. I watch her every chance I get and I buy whatever I can afford that has her in it. Last Christmas, I was fortunate enough to have a Santa from Down Under who sent me a copy of Ellen's first book, My Point and I Do Have One... and recently, I bought her second book, The Funny Thing Is.... I enjoyed reading the first book but I stopped with the second one because I've also been watching videos of her tours (The Beginning and Here and Now) and my problem is that the same acts are pretty much on the book and the video.

So there, I find myself "laughing at" the same punchlines and I don't know, I just feel kinda weird about it.
