the doc visit
—
in Livefirst session with the doctor: I feel so weird. Or, I don’t know. It’s just, I have to change my way of thinking a little (accept?) that what happened over a year ago was worse than I thought or perceived it as. It’s like, suddenly apparently you were violated and it feels surreal because you…

On consumerism and tech waste
—
in TinkerBefore getting my own iPad, I saw how my boyfriend’s brother in-law used his for everything. They played podcasts at work with it, podcasts in the car, for drawings on SketchBook, among other things. And his was an iPad 2, which meant it seems like the device was worth the investment because of its quality…

“And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.”
—
in LiveI watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower yesterday and…it was okay. Just okay. Maybe the problem was that we just watched Ruby Sparks a week ago and it was amazing and this one was just okay. We regretted spending P190 for the tickets though because it would have been fine as a movie watched at home. …

“Enable me to see reality as it really is.”

in LiveOne of my muslim friends shared this: Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Oh Ali, if two people come to ask you to judge between them, do not judge in favour of the first until you hear the word of the second in order that you may know how to judge.” [Ahmad, Abu Daud]…

Love/hate relationship with Pixelmator and Sketch (where is Retina support for Adobe!?)
—
in LiveBecause designing with Adobe on my retina MBP is a pain in the eyes (all those pixels, gahh!) I’m trying to replace my workflow with Pixelmator and Sketch. Unfortunately, it’s not too easy because: (1) Designing for, say, 1144px on Pixelmator makes the canvas look as small as this: I’m not sure if I’m being…

Is he my lebenslangerschicksalsschatz?
—
in LiveFor anyone who’s watched the first episode of the current season of How I Met Your Mother, you’ll know what a Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz is. Klaus: Lebenslangerschicksalsschatz is not something that develops over time. It is something that happens instantaneously. It courses through you like the water of a river after a storm, filling you and emptying you…

in DesignKeith Robinsons reframes UX: In essence, if you’re building a product for use, everyone involved is a UX person. I do think it’s good to have someone who “owns” UX, and as you grow, someone who’s focused on bringing it all together. What you don’t want is a “specialist” that defines their work by the deliverables…

Ruby Sparks
—
in Watchhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4RJYlSgDKM It isn’t always that C and I get to watch a movie that makes one feel bothered. Something that gives you all kinds of feels that you have to talk about it after watching, and whatever it is that you felt while watching doesn’t disappear after the credits. Ruby Sparks is one of those movies, and unexpectedly so.…

I feel so sad sometimes
—
in LiveI was full of regret again last night. I confessed to C that I don’t have anything to feel proud of, to show to the world, and I’m feeling so much pressure to become someone I’m not because I want to prove something. But I’m so far away from it and I don’t have past…
