I Drink Coffee So I Can Do Dumb Things Faster

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER

• I had my first taste of coffee when i was a freshman in college. I am always struggling keeping awake when studying, so when i heard one of my classmate said that coffee will keep me awake, i made my first instant that night. And i loved it. It kept me wide-eyed open till i finished memorizing all that it is that needs memorizing, even the cracks on the wall in my room. And it was that silver-colored time between night and morning, when the sky is still dark, but lights are flickering all over our street that i find myself still awake. My heart is pumping, i took my shower, went to school and wasn't allowed to take the exam because i forgot my permit. Bummer! I blame the coffee. hihihihhii. So i went home, hallucinating a little, and slept the whole day. That was the moment i knew i have become a coffee addict.
• I had my first trip to Starbucks pretending i "know" the place. I looked at the board menu, frowning a little to give a look of "hhhhmmmmm one expert here! cos Ive been here a hundredth of time......GASP", but really am very nervous. ihihihihi. And oh i went alone, in case i looked stupid, nobody would ever know, of course except the Starbucks people. hihihihi. I don't have any idea what tall is, latte, or frap or venti. Latte sounds cool so i ordered it. I felt like i was robbed cos it's way too expensive for my first take out coffee. I am going back to instant. But the place feels so fine. I feel soooo cool. Yey i've been to starbucks finally!
• Then about two years ago Kai and I we're both diagnosed with Gastritis due to toooooo much drinking of coffee. Again...GASP! That time we've been dating for two years, and the only place we know for us is a coffee shop. So in order for us to stay alive and healthy for the next 50 years, we stopped taking 5 cups of coffee a day, took the medication for two months, and stayed sober for a month after the treatment. And we've been good after that cos we only take one to two cups of coffee a day. At first it was a struggle. They say coffee is just like a cigarette. A little addiction but way much hard to quit.

Two years ago

• Kai just got off from work, then had our breakfast at a local coffee shop called The Beanery. We still go there once a week. It's a lovely place, we had our first date there as friends, then sweethearts. hihihihi. That's why we love that place.

Don't we look dumb? hihihihi.

have a great day lovely ladies and gents! Do not overdose on Coffee. That's bad! hihihihii.

When i was ten, i was so sure am gonna be a Pastor. hihihihihi. Then i turned twelve, so turns out i wanted to be a Doctor. Three years later i became very interested in acting that i wanna study theater. And before i graduate high school i joined the debate team that i wanted to be ..... you know, of course a lawyer. After finishing college not going to medical or law or business school and successfully being none of those things, i am here now still thinking of my dreams. The world say you can be anything you want, dream big, go for it and you will be very happy. Why is it that in my world, being not a doctor, not a lawyer, not even a computer geek that i am still freaking OKAY? Whatever happened to me? I used to be so sure of many things. Now, am 29 going 30 and i am clueless but definitely happy. And one more thing, at first i thought that before reaching 25 id be married and has three kids by then. OMG! What was i thinking? Who feeds me those ideas? ihihihihihii. I could be miserable right now being a mother of a dog right? But i feel okay. I could have reached for more stars, or maybe not, but am okay with the two stars i have now. The freakiest part of this all is am singing "bituing walang ningning", right now. hihihihihi

How about you? Did your dreams ever came true for you?

I am a Blogger

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER

How long have you been blogging?
- Well i used to keep i diary since grade school, but since my brother, not to my knowing then has been reading for his pleasure and use the secret details of my life for his advantage, and blackmailing me, obviously i stopped keeping a journal for my own sake. hihihihihi. But now that am old and not so shy anymore i decided for the whole world to see my shame in all it's colorful glory. hihihihi. But seriously, I've been seriously blogging for about a year now.

Any advice to beginners?
- Nothing really, the trick is anything goes, it's your blog. Whatever kind of interest you have then by all means feel free to write. Even if the title of your first post is "Identification of Swainsonine as a probable Contributory Mycotoxin in Moldy Forage Mycotoxicoses"..., there's always a million soul who'll be very interested. Birds of the same feather flock together. My only concern is, when writing please do not use words you'll need a dictionary to comprehend. Do not thesauru-rize every word. Make it easy for yourself and the reader. The need to sound smart in a blog is blog suicide if you use medical terms and highfalutin words not many intelligent people will understand. We got to keep it simple people. ihihihihi. I really mean it..K I S S. Keep It Simple St***d. hihihihihi.

And another important thing, make an effort to visit the people who comments on your site or blog. Am sure there's always a nice thing or two to see from other people. And at the end of the day kindness is goodness. We've got nothing to lose from that.


What are the good things blogging has brought to you life?
- It makes me an honest person. I am really really trying. hihihi. At least this blog has been a reality check for me.

What would you consider the pitfalls?
- That am very excited most of the time to see what's the update on other bloggers, new photos, new stories, and new outfit. I think it's an addiction when you're having a breakfast, that your food doesn't even got to touch your tongue to speed up the process so you can go back to your laptop..... and who may that be?....hmmmm some people. hihihihihi.

Tell us something about your blog name? Ever think of changing it? If so, to what and why?
- Denise Katipunera here in blogspot, from the meaning sisterhood or part of the group that stands for something right and honorable. (goosebumps) hihihihhii. I wanted to change it but then it grew on me. I think what am writing here are pure honesty of myself, something nice and good for my sisters here in the blog sphere.
- And Life is a Cup of Coffee on Multiply simply because we love coffee and we have a dog named Koffy.

Was starting a blog a good thing for you?
- Yes very much. Just like what i said earlier this blog is a reality check for me. Weeks ago i was just browsing my old blogs and OMG i cannot believe i said this and that!!!!! I will never take back what i said because at those times it's pure honesty of what i stand for.

How do you think blogging, bloggers, or the blogosphere has changed since you started?
- I really don't know how to answer that. hihihihhii. But in my understanding yes every body's going through changes, and change is good, i think if we keep up a clear perspective on ourselves a little change from time to time is good. Getting out of our comfort zone brings out the toughness in each and everyone of us. (and world peace!!!!!) hihihihih

Ultimately, what would you like your blog to accomplish for you or others?
- nothing much actually. I am just here to entertain. hihihihi

Name some things or few things that bug you, we want your unfettered opinion, shouldn't be blog related.
- Math!, those space people that knows so much about numbers. It's weird. Brilliant but WEIRD!
- Money, on how it can make or break humanity. It buys you stuff but not everything you want in life.
- Philippines! really! Philippines.

Tell us about one of your best childhood memories.
-Oh many memories. Bus stations, red apples, every Sunday 4am my brother, dad and i would take our mom to the bus station to catch a ride going back to the city, i can still remember how cold it was that morning. Every summer on our farm, sometimes i would hide at the back of the carabao wagon just to be with my dad the whole day on the farm. He'll be very angry at the discovery of my mischief, but i don't care, cos i get to be with him all day, then we'll go home riding on his bike. I still remember the smell of that afternoon, - the grass, wind and going to bed with mom telling us one of her invented story with me and my brother as the lead characters. Me and my brother fighting and swearing in our graves that we'll never ever take care of each other for as long as we live. We are liars. We can never ever ever resist one another. He's married now. I still love him. hihihihi.

Describe your perfect day.
- Coffee, Koffy, Husband and i laughing, husband and koffy wrestling, eating on our bed, watching The Office or Friends. GYM. hihihihi. And saying hello to our parents.

Do you have a hobby that you love?
- i have a weird hobby. If you call that a hobby. Well i apply make up when home, i practice a lot, - full make up. But then i never get to go out wearing even eye make up.
- And i like to destroy my pants...and husband's pants...

Tell us the best and worst thing about being you.
- like pros and cons?
Pros - I am happy, very laid back, i don't think a lot, when i like someone and something i get so obsessed with them in a good way, I read a lot, i talk a lot, very systematical in a little way. I am a friend.
cons - dreamer, am not good with remembering birthdays and dates, (this is serious) - when somebody hurt me i tend to shut myself out from that person, completely cutting all communication, I don't fight, i just forget. And i very weird with alignments and i need to have 5 alarm clocks to fully wake me up.

What's the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you. We want all the details.
- OMG. I can't believe am telling this. Well about 4 years ago, one Sunday afternoon from a tiring work at the church (yes, i was a church worker for about two years, full time), that afternoon we were at the hospital visiting a church mate. I cannot tell you the full details of what i do then, like job description thing, because there's no way to describe it. hihihihi. Well i was really really tired, and sleepy and i feeling sick whenever am in a hospital. Then i got a text message saying that i we have another church mate friend who's father's also in the hospital, who's very very very sick and somehow to my understanding has already died. So i rush in to the next door and offer my ________i really don't know what to offer exactly. Well inside the room it feels so very funeral really, every body's crying and howling, and they're hugging the person on the bed and saying goodbyes. I was about to go back out when somebody looked at me and recognize me and she's crying looking at me, i really don't know how to react, she hold my hands and cried so hard, and without thinking i said "condolences po", wow she cried even harder. I looked at my friend crying on bed hugging his dad, and i saw the man on the bed move. WOW he's still ALIVE! OMG OMGOMG! all am thinking is how am i gonna get out of here? me and my big mouth! Well am so tired and when you're tired... well there's no excuse for my shame. Good thing there's only one person who heard my advance condolences. I am so embarrassed.But the semi-good thing is he passed away after three hours. I am now a prophet of doom.

What blog related things bug you?
- hmmm that some people use their blog to fight with someone. Quarreling here is soooo uncool.

Old photos, Same old stuff

FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER

• June 1, 2007. hihiihi. Two years ago i was wearing an old college ripped pants, and believe me it wasn't all ripped when i bought it on 2001. Right now looking at my old photos and current closet, i am a proud owner of nothing but a collection of ripped pants and no decent jeans at all. Decent means no holes and destroyed threads on every seam.
  
• I clearly remember that day. Kai got his monthly haircut then went to a photo studio for his passport picture and had dinner on a coffee shop where they have this huge painting of a naked lady with no face. It's our favorite spot, we always make sure to sit and have our coffee next to it's huge male hands covering her nakedness. And right now that we're married one thing i have learned though, that being married saves a lot of money, dating wise. hihihihihii. ...and we haven't been on that coffee shop for a year now.
• Anyway, quick survey, Is it okay to post old photos here? I mean from time to time id like to dig up some old photos and see what was i wearing back then? hihihihi.
