Our second day started rather late, as we were finally ready around noon. I can't really blame my cousins though — one wasn't feeling well (even though she took medication and even a heating pack) and the other was still a bit jet-lagged. I don't think we were as indecisive this time though, as I remembered my Australian cousin showing interest in a restaurant on our way back from the shopping trip* we did the day before. 

*Correction: it wasn't just my cousin buying stuff... I realized I forgot to mention that I ended up buying stuff for my homeslice too. My cousin was teasing me the whole trip about how funny it was that my homeslice wanted not 1, not 3, but 5 of the same funko pops to sell, lol. 

NYC 2015 (DAY 1...ISH)

Last Monday just felt like a whirlwind/a complete reality smack in the face — not only did I return back to work, part of my workplace was dealing with moving into a new separate unit. I wasn't here last (last) Friday, so I was completely disoriented when I went into the old marketing office seeing almost nothing there at all, and spent most of the morning trying to organize my laptop, monitor, external hard drive, the 432940382943208 cables that came with my work set-up, and settling down with my new space (and 100x better office chair, yes!). But let's not jump too ahead of ourselves, as the latter half of the week before 2 weeks ago made for one of the major highlights of my summer (along with that camping trip a month ago too)...

Back to Reality

I'm still trying to settle back into my usual surroundings (aka trying to get my shit together) at the moment, so as much as a post about how NYC went around for me this time is anticipated, I still need to process the photos -______-'

I only really started putting stuff away yesterday you guys!

But here's a teaser image to start off...

Of course I would include a picture of something related to the NYC subway system... lol

Um, whut.

I just find it funny when someone screws up your name in an email even though they've addressed your name correctly consistently previously. Who knows, maybe they're just tired af, but it's just odd.

Funny how that happened to Cara too, lol.

App Testing

I just finished testing an app for a company and being able to review and give feedback has been surprisingly therapeutic. It stands strong with my personal philosophy that designers do more than "make pretty things", and it really got me to reflect on the why's and how's (especially on how to improve user experience). Plus I like helping people out, so being able to provide constructive criticism to make something better is a win-win situation.




Wow, I had almost forgotten about this cartoon...
