Break the Pattern
—
in PonderI’ve been working on some work-life balance recently, and been experimenting on some things to become more productive. One of the things I’m trying out is outlining a schedule for myself every day, making a kind of general task list of when to do things. I forgot which article I’ve read some months ago (and…

Value of My Work and My Value as a Human Person
—
in PonderI’ve shifted through different jobs in the past few years. Even so, it has never been a breeze to price my work and my hours. I have done freelance work in the past, but I was never a hundred percent confident that I wasn’t undervaluing my work or that I wasn’t over estimating the work…

Jack of all trades
—
in PonderBy the time I graduated 3 years ago, I’ve already had an idea of what I wanted to be: a designer who could build stuff. This was my main motivation in learning how to design and code (not only javascript, but also to be able to build stuff from ground up, like Rails, so I…

in Ponder“Wake up every day like you mean it, sacrifice inconvenience for kindness; surround yourself with good people. Cry when you must, look for inspiration where you must.

in PonderI’ve been looking for job options since I’ve left my full-time job at Save22, and I’ve met up with someone who offered me a job when I was a fresh graduate. We caught up with each other and what’s happened in the last 2 years. One thing’s consistent: I want to work on design and…

you know change is permanent
—
in PonderI was thinking about this Saturday. How do I feel about it, really? Am I ready? Will I ever be ready? I still feel uncomfortable just thinking about them. But it is merely discomfort now: just recognising the fact that the way I see them (or things) have changed, and I can’t just revert myself…

because I just wanted to get to know some strangers
—
in PonderI was browsing through someone’s Tumblr when C asked me, “Who’s that?” “I don’t know.” “What?” “I’m just intrigued. I don’t really know her.” And isn’t that what the web was like? Back when I was twelve? You follow a bunch of people you don’t really know, read about their lives, comment and maybe eventually…

on insecurities and growth
—
in PonderI was sharing with C how I felt very insecure about “not being popular enough” last year, and feeling unappreciated in the more seemingly “designer / artist circles.” That, perhaps, feeling overshadowed by other designers/artists made me feel pretty useless. In comparison, I feel like my own set of skills could be appreciated more in…

if I don’t trust you, it’s over for us
—
in Ponderfriends fight — and that’s normal. but when friends break each others’ trust, then there’s less of a possibility that their relationship will stay the same. that they’ll still be friends. I was telling C how one of my friends was bugging me to be “friends again” with this person, and how — after I…
