Hellloooo there! How’re you guys?

Yes…I know…I’ve been a bad girl! I’ve neglected this blog for over a year and enough is enough! Why?

Because I’ve been making some major life pivots. As you all know, pivoting take everything you’ve got: Money, Time & Emotions. 

Plus that ever lingering fear that you’re getting it all wrong. *SCARED FACE*

So what have these changes been?

(Quickly checking the date of my last post: May 13, 2017! YIKES!)

The Move

I’ve moved to the gorgeous orange county! Feeling those beach vibes since 2017!

The degree

I started pursuing Human-Computer Interaction Design at the University of California, Irvine. Coz you know…don’t all models and actors eventually become other things? Not always? Well…OK then! #BestComebackEver

The Design Blog

I started a design blog called Design Notes on Medium. Since then….this happened!

I Got Published!!! Whhaaaa? Yep!

I’m now a published writer! I write for the  UX Collective, an amazing publication that highlights the UX design journey and everything it entails.

And…

I started an internship with Accenture Labs.

More about this in September!

I traveled to more than 10 places in the US & World!

I’m about to travel to Puerto Rico in 2 weeks! (Can’t wait to share!)

I got diagnosed with a chronic condition. So, I turned gluten & dairy free, in a desperate attempt to find lost balance in my body.

Will share more on this in the coming months…as I come more to terms with how I feel about sharing this.

I participated and completed a dry-triathlon.

…And shortly gave up working out for a couple of months after that 😛 (travel, injury…blah blah).

I’m learning coding! *YIKES*

I’ve unboxed plenty of new cosmetics & gadgets that I want to share with you!

I have been developing a secret project..to be released by the end of the year!

But Most Importantly, My Blog is Changing!

Life is all about evolution and growth. So it is only natural my blog should evolve too! Part of the reason I’ve been MIA is because I felt that my blog wasn’t serving anyone in particular, even myself. My diverse experiences call for more. So here it is!

From now on, I’ll be covering travel, lifestyle, art, fashion, products & musings in a way that’s truly me!

So join me here every Tuesday & Thursday at 6AM for more!

Thanks for sticking with me since 2010! WOW! It’s been 8 years!!
