📷 Day 4: foliage #mbApr

Took a photo of this cat with one of its legs not tucked under while I was at the Houtong Cat Village last year.

A black and white colored cat curled under the branches of a potted plant, taking cover from the sun. One of the cat's legs is laid down on the side of the ledge.

Just tried out FitXR, and I’m thinking after the first 2 classes I did (sculpt & HIIT), I’ll do this as part of my workout routine for the month of April 😁💪🏻

📷 Say 3: Card #MBApr

I took a photo of this credit card reader on the remote for in-flight entertainment during my flight to Europe last February. I was amused seeing this in an era where cashless is getting more popular 😆 I guess before you could buy stuff with you card while on thr plane 😄

A credit card reader seen on the side of the remote available for in-flight entertainment in an airplane. The text above the card slot reads: "Pull to Stow | Stow and Latch for taxi, takeoff and landing"

📷 Day 2: Flowers #mbapr

One year ago! Took a photo of the YouBike I rented while going around Taichung, Taiwan. There were some cherry blossoms along Tanya Shen bikeway which we were traversing through 😊🌸

📷 Day 1: Toy #mbapr

Sharing this 3d-printed neko atsume style cat printed by my boyfriend, and colored in (with markers) by me 😁

There are 3 more cats like this, and they just stay seated on my monitor’s stand accompanying me 🐈

I stayed online enough to clean up my inbox of unnecessary newsletters and cleaned through old event invites and other threads.

I hope I eventually find the time to clean up my subscriptions. Maybe in the coming PTO I booked in April.

∞

General PSA: but I have been hibernating since maybe last week, and I don’t know when I’ll go back to regular posting or regularly being online

maybe come April, I’ll get back into it again

∞

Finally have time to myself. I hope I actually get to do the cleaning I told everyone I was gonna do during this time. 😆

Hay, I really should have bought the Meta Rayban Smart Glasses when I saw them in Austria. I just want a stylish way to record quick clips of things I see (mostly for my bike commute) and also get the bonus of not having to wear headphones if I need to listen to music or talk to someone while out.

(additional anecdote: kaya ko lang din naman dinedread mag attend sa mga meetings na ‘to kasi it keeps me from doing the work I need to do… pls can people learn to write and chat more so at least discussions can also be documented 🥲)

∞

The work continues.

Been a few days since I set up my Obsidian again. 😆 Let’s see if I can (1) keep up with this, and (2) if I can figure out the Micro.blog integration with it. :))

TIL there’s support for even blockquotes in FigJam text 😮

Discovered this while writing a shorthand guide in FigJam. I’m surprised how fancy the block quote looks, I didn’t expect there’d be support for it here since usually the support is limited to just the list making and bold, italics, and maybe strikethrough. :))

First thought that came to mind was, maybe you could use FigJam as a visual way to draft an article? 😆 Anyway, just sharing this nice surprise I encountered 😄

Screenshot of a written guide to using Markdown for text formatting in FigJam. The image displays a table with two columns: 'What to type' and 'Expected outcome.' It instructs users on how to create headings with '#,' bulleted lists with '-' or '*', numbered lists with '[any digit].', italicize with '-', bold with '**', strikethrough with '~', and block quotes with '>[space]'. The bottom of the image shows an example of a block quote formatting, indicating that a longer quote will be followed by a line beneath the initial quotation mark.

A great read on the opportunities for AI in accessibility: alistapart.com/article/o…

It also has links to articles that are critical of AI as a tool, and I think that nuance is important when discussing this tool in particular.

Personally, I do align with this particular sentiment because it’s also something I’ve wondered for a while: AI could be used to help make things more accessible on the web, or for our tech in general.

I’m so happy there’s a Figma plugin to make APNG files, I can make animated Discord stickers now :3 hehez

to add, this is the Figma plugin! Forgot to link to it earlier: www.figma.com/community…

I’m wondering why Microsoft Teams hasn’t changed their functionality of typing emojis from using parentheses () to using colons ::. Is it a remnant of old tech from Skype (?) and they just never bothered to change it? 🤔

In a world that’s more used to using colons : for typing emojis, it’s becoming more and more an outlier 😆

I’m not even sure if that really was from Skype haha it’s been so long since I’ve last used it that I don’t remember much anymore 🙈 please correct me if I’m wrong haha

lmao at this ““not mandatory”” checkbox for marketing opt-in 😂😂 what can I expect, I’m trying to get free WiFi lol

Screenshot of a website with the logo Social Wave on the upper left corner for availing free WiFi. The prompt to log in has a checkbox that has the label, “I agree to receive news and offers”. The checkbox itself is highlighted red, and underneath the checkbox is an error alert message that reads, “Please accept the marketing opt-in to stay up to date. This is not mandatory!

First full day in Austria 🇦🇹!

there was a lot of walking, and just mostly getting used to the weather 😆

Here is the before and after I realized I needed a thicker coat to not feel super cold in today’s windy and cloudy day 😆🙈🥶

Photo of Chi next to Salzach River. It is a sunny day, with some clouds seen but not blocking the sunlight. Chi is wearing shades, and a red puffer jacket hiding her outfit of a blue crop top that has the pattern of an old blanket from her childhood, a black turtleneck, and a black long skirt. She has her backpack behind her back. A row of leaf-less trees are seen behind her.

Candid photo of Chi next to the Salzach River wearing her boyfriend’s big winter jacket, with the hood going on top of her head and seemingly eating her because of how big the jacket is. The sky is a dark blue, with more clouds in sight, and the sun has set already.

🛬 Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹 Now to wait for the specific train I bought tickets for to head to Salzburg 😁

seems amusing that while in Qatar airport’s free wifi, I can’t seem to connect to:

  • Telegram
  • set up my VPN? (though this might be with my VPN app too 🤔)

but Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger work fine 😆

ah well, I’ll chill in my own bubble for the meantime :))
