Because all the cool kids are doing it

Monday, April 25th, 2011

AKA in which I flew to Singapore along with two friends to try our luck in finding a job.

Because hey, it’s really no secret that everyone and their mom is trying to land a job in Singapore. Or at least, for Filipinos like me. I’ve been hearing stories about how easy it is to find a job in Singapore since two years ago, from both friends and family. Recently I’ve heard that it’s getting harder to find jobs though, because of the new government rules for hiring foreigners, so I guess it’s now or never, isn’t it?

Surprisingly, it was relatively easy for me to find a job. And I don’t even think it’s because I’m super talented at design or anything; I suppose I just found the right job posting at the right moment.

Blues that arrive with year-ends

Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Occasionally there would come a time when people reflect on their lives and wonder what they’re supposed to do in a world of endless possibilities. Saying “endless possibilities” seems like such a positive thing, but at the same time it also poses a problem: Too many choices makes one confused and unsure of which one in particular they should take. What’s “right” for me? Which path should I take? What am I meant to do? That question is all-too common, and I’m sure almost everyone has had the same thoughts as I am having right now.

And this post isn’t really to give out advice; there’s none of that kind, actually. It’s just me writing down my thoughts and feelings at this point in my life. A quarter-life crisis, if you may.

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

I keep forgetting to update this blog, so I did miss out on quite a lot of events to write about. To summarize the past months, though, I decided to say it with photos:

Procrastinating, managing To-Do list, et cetera

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

It’s been some time since I’ve made this much progress on anything, and I’m actually really happy about it so far. The long weekend because of the Lenten season over in the Philippines should also be a good time for me to catch up with things I need to do, such as my one page portfolio and some social media icons to add to the layout of this site. In short, so far, so good!

Except for the part where I procrastinate. It’s been a bad habit of mine since the beginning, but it’s something that I’m trying to change. It’s my second year trying to use a planner to get my life a bit more organized, and it helps a lot especially for someone like me who forgets a lot of things and is easily distracted.

Finally moving onto better things

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

To think that my constant revisions for a simple portfolio layout ended up with me completely revamping this domain.

As you can see, star-catcher.net has completely transformed into a personal blog and professional portfolio site. Right now you might be viewing a ready-made WordPress template; I hope that won’t be what you see for long, since I’m currently in the last phase of construction, which is adding new pages. Once that’s done, I can finally say that I’ve accomplished something aside from being a world-class procrastinator and nap expert.
