📷 Day 22: blue #mbApr

Taken last 24 June 2022. Second to the last gig I got to attend of Banna Harbera performing. They stopped putting new music out later that year too, but I was thankful I still got to attend some of the gigs when they were still playing. 🥹

Banna Harbera performing at the 2022 Fête de la Musique Philippines. Both the main vocalist and lead guitar and vocalist are lit in a cool blue hue. Both of them are focused on singing the song, as shown in their expressions.

📷 Day 21: mountain #mbApr

Took a photo of this mountain while riding a taxi with other tourists who were also figuring out how to get to Jioufen 😆 Taken last April 10, 2023!

A mountain covered with vegetation near Jioufen in Taiwan. A small thin cloud is seen on the tip of the mountain. A bus is seen on the right side of the photo because Chi took this as she was seated on the front passenger seat while going up the road.

📷 Day 20: ice #mbApr

I forgot what this drink was called 🤣 but it was a nice cocktail from Hakid 😁

A mixed orange cocktail in a tall glass with a dried orange as a garnish, with ice in the drink as well.

📷 Day 19: birthday #mbApr

My birthday’s coming up soon. Throwback to this gift the WeWork staff where I used to co-work at gave me 😁🍷

A wine bottle is on a marbled countertop with a greeting card in front of it. The text reads, "A note from our community team: Chi! Happy birthday Daryl, Paul, Hazel, & Sumana"

Excited for today because I’ll be watching Rent (the musical) with a friend later today! #RentMNL2024 wooooo

📷 Day 18: mood #mbApr

This horse/donkey statue is a mood after the events of this week. 😆

A gray horse or donkey statue lying down on the grass, with its legs up in the air, and seemingly basking in the sun.

Collection of thoughts re: Figma's Framework APAC 2024

Dang, I thought the Framework APAC would be live too (since they have an announcement for it as its own event and all), but I guess since Figma already announced stuff yesterday, it really would just be a replay of the stuff they already did on April 16 🥲

Feels weird to go through this now, since it seemed like it would be its own “event” where people would also be live, sad that APAC still feels like an afterthought. But I guess it’s also fine we have these recordings available? 😅

I wonder if the Office Hours would be live or if it would still be a recording of their office hours during that day. I’m thinking it would be the latter, based on how this is going 😅

I might just update this blog post later in the day once that time slot is open to see if anything changes. I do still have the tab open to play in the background, since… well, not much to do other than listen. 😆 (last update: 12:10PM)

update: 1:37PM — oh nice, the In the file with DBS session is live 😁 cool! Today I learned Zoom Webinars can be integrated into a website like this 😆

update: 2:37PM — Office Hours just finished, and I appreciate it was a live session 😁 Exciting times!

Overall, I still do love hearing about the updates from the Figma team. Makes me excited to make cool stuff!

📷 Day 17: transcendence #mbApr

I guess this can count? 😆 This was taken after we rode over 140km around Taichung last April 2023. This was the our actual Strava ride up to Sun Moon Lake 😄 I can’t believe I pulled it off then! I don’t really do long rides that much anymore 😅

Chi posing with her right hand raised to gesture to her background, which is the Sun Moon Lake in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. She has the bike she borrowed from her friend parked in front of her, with the 2 other bikes of her friends laid on the ground just behind her. Chi is wearing a red crop top shirt and black shorts, as well as a bike helmet and fingerless gloves.

Looked back at some of the photos I submitted for the photoblogging challenge, and I saw I reposted 1 photo 🙈 Now I know I shouldn’t use that photo moving forward haha!

I also have an entry for today’s challenge. 😁

Got to watch GomBurZa again, this time with my boyfriend, because it’s on Netflix!

Sobrang nakakagago pa rin talaga nung nangyari sa GomBurZa. Goes to show how shitty it really was before and pano naging turning point ito for Filipinos.

Tried out a 5-day meal plan for this week’s food. I’m now on day 3.

I gotta say, I do like not having to worry about what food to eat (as someone living alone). 😆 I’ll eventually compare the experience vs. my old way, which was a mix of ordering food and (attempting) cooking. 😅

∞

Stumped again for what to post for #mbApr day 17 🙈 I’ll mull it over this day hahaha

📷 Day 16: flâneur #mbApr

Was chilling outside the hotel on my first full day in Salzburg back in February. I asked my boyfriend to take this photo of me because I found it amusing that I’m so cold I need my jacket… but here I am, going out in slippers 😆 I needed to balance the temp 😛

Chi is seated on a sofa outside of her hotel and is looking towards the left of the photo, which is where the road is but it's not seen. She's wearing a red puffer jacket and black leggings to keep warm, but also is seen wearing slippers.

On Arc, whenever I want to make a post with an image on my Micro.blog, I can only successfully do it on Lillihub since I write descriptive alt text for the photos I post 😅

I don’t know why the JS alert pop-ups don’t work in Arc. I have yet to also report this specific thing.

Trying out AirChat for the first time

Trying out AirChat (since I got an invite) and, I guess it’s just, this what I’m doing now, the voice post. And… it’s just that so, it’s kinda interesting.

Here is a link.

Went on Web and checked out how the link looked like, and it’s like this below. I guess it’s like the in-between of Video Reels, and you just get the transcript and hear the person saying what’s on the transcript?

So like… async podcasts? 😂 or async voice conversations (??) I don’t know what to think about that kind of format, really. But it’s definitely not the usual. 😆

Screenshot of what the preview looks like from an AirChat link when opened in the browser. In the middle of the screen is a transcript of Chi’s 3 recorded voice messages wrapped around a mobile frame, and on the right of the voice messages wrapper is a QR to scan to download AirChat. The avatar showing Chi’s profile picture in the first message recording has a bunch of blobs bursting behind it, which is a visual cue that that’s the voice memo currently playing. Her full voice memo is: 1, “Hello! Testing this new thing. I guess this is just gonna be a very novel experience. Yeah.” 2, “Makakaintindi kaya to ng Tagalog? I wonder… Kung… Kaya niya yung… Taglish… Like… How it is in Threads with the voice notes there.” 3, “OMG, kaya siya. So, it looks like gibberish at the start. But then, it eventually… I guess there’s Al that’s trying to understand the voice or the recording and then reorganizing it. Okay. This is cool.
