That not-really-fresh-graduate crisis
—
in LiveI like the nature of my job and my job description. I don’t mind the company I work for. Overall, the work environment is fine and the people are nice and friendly and I shouldn’t be ranting so much. But I am. I try to compensate; find good things outside of work. I have two other…

No work on weekends
—
in LiveI’m starting to avoid emails and twitter on weekends. Not that I don’t need to work. I think I need to set aside some weekend time for work, but I like taking full breaks and just resting or relaxing or hanging out with friends.

Minimalist =/= less work and effort
—
in LiveBeen trying to close a deal with a potential client yesterday and he couldn’t understand why I would charge Php1.5k for each full-page chapter cover even when, he says, the design is really simple (Php1.5k/design is cheap already, btw). Quoting this article: Minimalist web designs are simple and conservative. They are basic, without clutter. The perception…

—
in LiveOne of the biggest differences of college life and “work life” (where I suppose I should start feeling a little more adult now that I’m earning money and have a regular (corporate) desk job, but the fact that I don’t really is a different story) is that time seems to fly faster. Some days it feels…

I’m just perpetually trying to figure out things. Work-wise: Most of the day I’m either coding/designing for projects for the company or its clients, or…

In search for nearby good milk tea
—
in EatOK, Bon Appetea tastes really horrible, and for the longest time it was the milk tea nearest the office. I saw Boba Milk Tea (at the corner Garnet street) and tried it out last week. Their milk tea was alright, but their pearls were also horrible (like they’ve been soaked too long or something). Yesterday,…

Work insights – week 7: Things I crave for at work
—
in Live(I know, I missed two work-insights posts. Life happens.) There are some things I’ve been craving for at work, and they’re not just potato chips anymore. Sugar. I’m working on some PHP and MySQL for one of our projects and for me, coding those needs a lot of thinking (because I’m not that good in it,…

Work insights – week 3: My life’s financial wellness
—
in LiveYesterday, the office hosted an hour-long talk by Mr. Rogel Morales entitled, “Pera, Pera, Paano ba Gumawa?” and in all fairness, there were a couple of things that I got from it. Such as: Instead of the formula, (Income – Expenses = Savings), it is much better to adapt an (Income – Savings = Expenses) formula for your…
