Blueprint

Follow my blog with bloglovin

The best thing about having a blog is receiving emails almost everyday, from different set of people, ages and race. But I don't get that many though. 4 average and 10 max and half of them say that i WON a million dollars on a UK lotto. Barf! I suppose that's the whole point of having a blog, to connect to people. They ask you about almost anything and everything. Most of the time i get my inspiration from them. So am warning you, this post is a bit cheesy. So please bear with me. hihihi. Having said so, a few weeks ago i received an email from a girl, and she's about to get married in 4 months time. In short she's asking for my advice and tips for building a good marriage. Well she's 20 years young. Yeah that young. I was a little surprised cos i am no expert to give out such advice, having failed in so many relationships in the past. Well come to think of it. Thank God they all failed, or am having a husband now and four other boyfriends simultaneously right? There's goodness in failure after all. hihihi.

Anyway going back, am really flattered, cos husband and I were only married for 18 months now. So It's extremely short time compared to those who are married for years and years. But I answered as best as i could, based on our four years together.

Well, like any other couple, we did not agree on everything, of course. But we never really argued. And ,I thank God, I just got lucky. I don't ever remember once sitting down and mapping out a blueprint. It just became "we", instead of "I" very naturally and easily. And you live as you never have before, despite problems, separations, and conflicts. I suppose mainly you have to be willing to want to give.

It's not always 50-50. Sometimes one partner gives 80%. But then sometimes the other one does, so it all evens out after all. It's not always easy. I think it boils down to being willing to try to understand, to give of yourself, to be supportive. And above all else you must be sure that the person you're about to marry, is the only one you would want to spend the rest of your forever and ever and ever with. Wooooohoohooo. Did that scare you? hihihii.

And of course L O V E. Married or not, when two people really love each other, they help each other stay alive and grow beautifully together. I can't remember what my life was like before, and I can't imagine not being with Jayson.

So i wish you good, happy life ahead. And if all else fail, please don't sue me. hihihhi.

Have a wonderful day everyone and thank you all for reading.

Anyway, you like weddings? Me? Of course i do. I do. I do! But honestly i always freak out on picking and thinking of the right outfit. I think everybody does too. Cos weddings are big deal right? You don't want to appear under dressed or over killing the whole look in result from too much tension. Believe me some does. They say wear something you'll be very comfortable. Well i don't find comfort in heels and small purse. I think same goes with guys in tux or suit. So i said to myself, i won't worry, I won't think. Ill just wear something from my closet. So i picked this dress. It is perfect. Very comfy. Safe and comfy for me is any clothing that will cover my arms and shoulder. All of us has our own little "insecurities", and those two are mine. Why?...Because....!

Anyway, i love weddings. They give me the reason to play pretty and all prepped up. I could wear my heels and go to the salon for a make over. At least once or twice a year i get to do this. So anyone there getting married anytime soon please invite me. I don't have to eat, just invite me so i could play dress up again. hihihi.

have a great day everyone!

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

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. .

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) . 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!!!!!)

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

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. 

Describe your perfect day.
- Coffee, Koffy, Husband and i laughing, husband and koffy wrestling, eating on our bed, watching The Office or Friends. GYM. 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. 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 just anybody. Quarreling here is soooo uncool.
