8 Learnings from Eight Years as a Web Designer

I spent most of my adult life (so far) as a web designer. My self-identity lies greatly on being identified as a web designer. Not a musician, a comedian, a runner or a swimmer, but a web designer. Jenn, the web designer. I have never stick to anything like I stick to web design. I won’t deny that I have my moments of weaknesses, where I just want to throw this all away and ask the ultimate question,...

One Step at a Time

I don’t want to say that I’m starting my weight loss journey right now, because I have started it a long time ago. The problem is that, it’s so hard to get results that I want.

In fact, I would say that I hate it. I don’t like the feeling of oil and grease on my hand. I can’t understand why a lot of people consider it as their favorite chore.

Clean as You Go (CLAYGO)

Clean as you go means making a habit of putting stuff where they belong in the house after every task. Bathroom stuff in the bathroom, kitchen stuff in the kitchen. This is probably one of the simplest idea there is, but it is easier said than done.

The sun is up and luckily, the sun sets on this side of our building and rises on the other side. it gives me just enough shade to get by a very hot morning. Humid weather...

I used to subscribe into a weight loss website. Most of the things there are the usual, exercise, eat healthy, have a support system etc. There was one advice though that stuck to me. It says that to be encouraged to live a healthier lifestyle, one must talk to people who are going through the same thing as you are and to read on the topic as much as possible. This will help fuel your enthusiasm. I figured...
