    Reality show

    Thinking about my doctor’s reply to my email. She typed this on her blackberry and I am way impressed. It’s longer than the snippets I’m quoting here. Again, you were all living in a separate world from the rest of Ateneo. It was as if you were in a ‘reality show’ like Survivor where there’s

    Designer who can code or programmer who can design?

    Some articles like “We don’t hire designers who can’t code” still make me realize how things have changed or wonder if there’s some kind of generation thing I can’t catch. I’ve always thought there were a lot of designers who can code. Have those people I grew up with just went on to pursue other

    it hurts to think of the past. it’s making me question a lot of people who saw what happened and just let it happen. things are going to get harder for me before it becomes better.

    the doc visit

    first 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

    Before 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.”

    I 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.”

    One 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!?)

    Because 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?

    For 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
