My UX Research Journey

Hello, bloggy! Sorry for not updating you these past few weeks. I got infected by the coronavirus the past weeks, and too much rest is needed for me to recover.The 14-day quarantine is draining, but thanks to God, I am finally recovered! However, I am still taking my medicines to feel better and flu-free. Since I am still staying at home recovering from my cough because I am not yet allowed to go out, I research different tech skills that I want to learn and focus on. I came across UX Design. So what is UX design? UX Design is creating a product that provides a meaningful, helpful, and good user experience. This description is the way I understand it.I enjoyed reading articles and watching videos about UX design. Since I am changing my career path, I find UX design my long-lost career to grow and develop my skills and character more. This UX journey is the right path because I enjoy every step and process I encounter while studying UX design. I made a …

Day One of My 14-day Home Quarantine

Who would have thought that I would need to stay for 14 days in my bedroom? It sounds creepy, but yeah, I have no choice. I need to do it for my health and fast recovery. So many people are getting infected and doing the same things, so I guess this is the real new normal now. I’m not afraid at all, why would I? I believe and trust my immune system that she can surpass all these challenges now. I’m taking these moments on the brighter side of my life. Everything happens for a reason, and all depends on God’s will. Today is Thursday, and it is my first day of home quarantine. I just stayed all day in my bedroom with lots of fruit and medicine. I am planning to do a one-hour workout, but my body won’t cooperate. I felt tired and lazy. It feels like I want to lie down all day and sleep. I love eating the fruits my mom gave me. I am still lucky to have them with …

I am sick

The world is full of unpredictable happenings, plagues, viruses, and a lot more. We can’t tell what will happen next. Our lives are not for us forever. It’s just we’re all living in this painful world. When we got home from our water station with my father, I felt weak and had no strength. So after drinking hot chocolate, I went upstairs directly to my room to get some clothes, and I took a bath right away. I felt so cold, and my head hurt. So I decided to lie down on my bed and wear socks and thick clothes. I was half asleep by then when my mom was calling me for dinner. Since I didn’t answer, my mom checked on me and saw that I was sick. She brought fruits, biscuits, and medicine for me to take. My sister, a licensed medical doctor, also checked on me and told me that I needed to do the 14-day quarantine. I can’t say that this is my first day of quarantine, but I need to …

Adapting to Post-Pandemic Life

I never imagined that a pandemic could transform our lives so drastically. It happened in the blink of an eye. But none of us did. So much has changed. This shift has taken us away from a sense of normalcy. Now, wearing masks is part of our daily routine. Simple pleasures like going out or traveling now feel distant, all because we’re battling an invisible enemy: the Coronavirus.Through these events, we’ve faced countless challenges and obstacles that have taught us valuable life lessons. One of the most profound realizations for me is that we don’t truly own our lives. When our time comes, we can’t change it. It’s a humbling reminder to cherish each moment. We should live meaningfully. The most important thing now is to keep moving forward, no matter what happens. Many people are struggling with depression and anxiety, but losing hope can only drag us down further. We must adapt to this new reality, not just to survive, but to continue living with purpose. Changing our lifestyle is undeniably challenging, but it’s …

5 New Habits To Improve your Lifestyle

For the past years, I have never felt like being so productive in a day. I accomplished things that I needed to, but I wasn’t that organized to manage everything. I remember I loved buying planners and colorful checklists, but I never used them correctly. I am fond of collecting cute stuff such as sticky notes, washi tapes, colorful pens, dotted notebooks, and a lot more, but I didn’t use them correctly because I tend to keep them in a box with their respective packaging. But now I realize why I am not using this stuff on a day-to-day basis. (Sayang naman sisszt) Since I love watching about personal growth, lifestyle, productivity, successful tips, mental health, and career paths on YouTube, I learned that being well-organized on your everyday schedule is essential. It helps you in so many ways, not just by accomplishing your tasks but also by helping you grow and be motivated. I will share with you the five new habits that are slowly helping me improve my lifestyle and mindset. Wake Up …

New Month, New Beginnings

I’ve been watching a series of motivational and inspirational videos from successful people on YouTube. Their advice matters to me because I am setting up a new system for myself. I’m listing everything that I need to do and follow. I am so blessed to have a cousin with whom I can have a conversation about life, personal growth, career, and becoming successful. I also decided to convert my thoughts and stories into minimalist art. I’m not that good, but I think I will still develop in the process. Sharing my thoughts is one of my favorite things because I know some people are experiencing failures as well, and I want to share my experiences on how I am facing every challenge in my life. Recently, I am slowly changing my habits. One of these changes is about waking up at 4 a.m. I know this is the most challenging for me because I love sleeping, but I believe that I can do it because I want to improve my habits and be more productive …

Dear Self,

After so many years, I couldn’t thank myself for every challenge and struggle I have faced and encountered, for every achievement that I have made, And for every opportunity that I was able to get. I don’t usually post like this because I am shy and scared of what other people might say, but I should start setting aside other people’s opinions and doing the things I am passionate about. Dear Self, Thank you for reaching this far. Life is unpredictable, and I want to thank myself for becoming the best version of every day. I know life is tough, but I’m still here and doing my best to achieve my dreams in any way I can without giving up. Deat Self, Every day is A New Hope I am lost because I don’t know the exact path of my life, but I will not give up quickly because I know a bright future is waiting for me. But patience, hard work, good habits, and a good mindset are necessary! Dear Self, Stay Positive all …
