lol i saw a bug in Notion while trying to save a notion page as a bookmark 😆

Also, random share, but I got a God Pack (?) yesterday while doing my usual pulls for Pokemon TCG Pocket 😆

I kept saying “wow!” after each reveal lol but it might take a while before I can utilize these in a deck 😅

Even if I’m very “vocal” online in terms of random musings… part of me is still scared in sharing some thoughts. Fear of judgement just kicks in too strong.

I wanna fight that tendency. I want to stop shutting myself up.

I wonder if there’s an equivalent set of guidelines of WCAG for mobile apps? Or I guess it also applies, no? 🤔

(the question also kinda extends to XR apps too, but that’s out of my scope currently 😆 my work so far has me focusing on designing solutions for mobile apps, hence the question :)) )

I also definitely need to clean my table soon lol

Telegram groups are cool so far 🤔 Let’s see if this holds up for Q4 planning for FoFPH stuff hehe :)

Finally done did it and did some stuff for FoFPH community things. Better late than never? 😅

Equal exchange. Or relatively equal exchange.

Mostly is what it takes if I want something. Something else has to budge.

Cooking and preparing the ingredients for a dish helped me appreciate food more

My partner and I recently cooked a lot of food this weekend, and it got me to appreciate food and the ingredients that make sup the dishes we prepared. And I say this for both a dish I really loved as I grew up (sinigang) and another dish that I only recently started liking (curry rice). For this post I wanted to talk more about how cooking sinigang got me to appreciate it more as one of my favorite Filipino dishes.

Sinigang na baboy in a pot and placed on a dining table. A bowl of rice is seen behind the pot, as well as some utensils and a placemat. Pieces of labanos and kangkong are floating on the top of the sabaw, and the sinigang looks like its signature orangey color.

I really hope I eventually find the time to learn more about Hugo so I could make this side of the internet a bit more me, while exercising the frontend skills I haven’t really brushed up on in a long while lol

verdict: it wasn’t gutom

Design Pay Asia has opened up this year’s Design Pay Asia salary and report survey (link here), and I do hope we get more representation in the survey in other Southeast Asian countries so we can get a better overview of the design landscape in the ASEAN region 😁 The form closes on November 3 to make it in time for the end of the year (most likely to analyze and prepare the report)!

Also sharing to this side of the internet so I can cover all my bases 😆

This was taken yesterday at Design Week PH while I was waiting for mentees who wanted to do a folio review or wanted to ask questions about getting into or working in the UX Industry 😁

Thanks to Design Center of the Philippines and UXPH for the opportunity to pay it forward to the local design and tech community 😊

Chi smiling and seated behind a table with her name plate in front of her. Her vibrant floral crop top polo shirt stands out against the elegant decor, including suspended gold leaf decorations and patterned throw pillows.

I’m one of the mentors here at Design Center of the Philippines' Design Week PH for Folio Reviews 😊

They said walk-ins are allowed, so if you wanna check it out, I’ll be here the whole day 😄

2nd time in a row, special thanks to UXPH 😁

Chi’s name plate and placed on a table with her laptop behind it. The text on her name plate reads: “Chi Señires, UX Design Specialist, Home Credit PH”

Started using Anki this week to help me in reviewing sings for my Filipino Sign Language 1 (FSL 1) class. So far so good?

Thank goodness for ShareX and setting up videos as GIFs that can easily be pasted in the flashcards 😆

Stumbled upon this interactive comic about Spaced Repetition and it’s super cool and informative! I’m also really happy to see someone set up an interactive comic, I’ve wanted to do something like this in the past too 😄 (I know I can do it too, but I’ll need to fix my priorities first 😆)

As much as I wanna capitalize on sharing my writings everywhere (I just shared this post on Threads too), I still feel like sharing my blog posts on LinkedIn would seem out-of-place, even despite the numerous bullshittery I see there from people who are capitalizing on the reach you can get there 😆

Aaaaaaand eto na habagat na hila ata ng Enteng 😰 ang lakas ng hangin huhuhu

Reflections and thoughts on tracking "metrics", accomplishments, and impact as a UX designer

Every now and then, I find myself wondering if I’m consistently focusing on the wrong things or unnecessary things while working. I’m not one who constantly pours myself over conversion metrics or other KPIs or numbers I need to “track” as a means to measure my impact as a designer, but maybe I need to learn how to be?
