Okay ive been thinking about it now for 2 days and I think i really wanna write it what happened about our date.

SO FIRST OFF, I got pissed off early on because he said he was gonna be like 30mins late for our movie. And that really pissed me off.. I just said, okay.. ofcourse im not gonna tell him that Im pissed off. But i think he sensed it bc i just reply smtg like.. “Oh ok then”

Then he said he was joking.. 🙄🙄

But i didnt read his msg that he was just joking so for like 30mins i was so pissed. I was thinking to myself this is gonna be the last time im gonna hang out with him.. cuz man its such a turn off honestly.. like?? Yknow we had plans, you shud be prepared and then hes gonna tell me hes going to be 30mins late??? Also he doesnt have work that day, if he had work i wud have understand but no. He wasnt doing anything prior so why is he gonna be late?? So that was going thru my mind for 30mins and when i saw his msg i was so upset and relieved at the same time that he was just joking..

Fast forward now, we saw eo.. we watched Spiderverse! :) I really enjoyed that a lot. Still so funny tho, even more funnier cuz ive seen some memes that made it funnier. Also, him beside me laughing is so cute! Man.. am i down bad again? So yeah that was the movie part. Nothing really much happened.

Then after movie, we went to the mall to walk around.. he said he was looking for some daily shorts.. so we visited a few shops. We saw his bestfriend.. we just talked for a bit, it was nice seeing her but ngl it felt really weird and by that time i felt smtg.. like a tinge of uneasiness.. idk how to act and idk what to say.. i mean do i invite her to come with us?? But its our date idk how he will feel as well.. but at the same time idk if he knows that hes gonna meet his friend.. that was really weird to me but i didnt pay attention too much of it.. i was just worried that ill act awkward and wudnt be able to convey my own feelings nicely.. but after that we said our goodbyes and we started walking to the restaurant..

Tbh.. at that point i just wanna go home, the mood wasnt really it anymore.. idk what it was but i feel like i accepted it already that this is not gonna work out.. sometimes i really dont like how hes so into himself like?? He likes to dress up and such and he cares for his looks but sometimes for me i think its a bit much.. idk..

We got to the restaurant, we waited for a bit then we ate.. i didnt like the main course.. i ordered chicken alfredo but i do like the soup that comes with it so i got 2 soups cuz he doesnt want his soup. There, while eating we got to talk more.. i feel like this time around is very different from our first date night out when it was for my bday. I had fun talking yo him.. he did ask me about my preferences in a guy.. its funny cuz whenever i say smtg like,, i wud say i dont want a lazy person

He wud react and be like.. damn im a lazy one..

I told him, i want someone who is thoughtful..

And he laughed, im not thoughtful just so yknow.. im really not..

And in my head.. why r u telling me that?? I already know ure not also im not telling u to be thoughtful to me..

And it went on and on.. we keep getting sidetracked with other stuff so we kept repeating the qs and as.

I did tell him that Spiderverse played a huge part in my life, like it really inspired me. I told him the part what got me and i told him i know its cringe..

But he said its not cringey at all.. and that made me happy :))

It went on and on until we got to dessert. He asked me when were about to end if we can walk around first before going home.. tbh i wanted to go home right after but since he asked :> also i lowkey wanna spend time with him so ofc i said yes! At this point im really comfy talking about anything with him, i was honest with my as and such, also the qs he was asking i did ask him as well. It was nice getting to know him.. tho i think i already know the stuff we talked about..

He did say smtg about hes a firm believer that theres always a way. Which i admire him for it… okk thats it for now i guess..

(Im tired will take a break here and continue tmr)

(back now- continuing where i left off)

so when we left the restaurant, i suddenly remember what is one of the main things i like about someone and that is, he cannot be negative in life. i told him that the person i want is not pessimistic. then he said, somewhere along the lines like..

"im not pessimist but im realistic."

and i said, thats fine. thats different tho. you can be realistic without being pessimistic.

then he says, thats what i like about you tho, youre so positive. not all people are like that. then i answered him, cuz i dont want to be negative!

tbh i feel like life is already sad and challenging? but its up to u if u wanna stay that way. like, life isnt always good for me but i dont wanna dwell on it. i always wanna look at the brighter side. he did say that not all days are good days. and its true! i know that and its hard to stay positive but still, life is only what you make it. i iddnt tell him that but.. i got really really happy and fuzzy and warm inside we he said that thats what he like about me being positive. :D because i do want to give positivity to people eventho im not always positive. im just faking it till u i make it basically. but i always tell myself i cant be sad all the time. i cant be like my classmate M who always so negative bc once u think negative thoughts it reflects on ur life. so only happy and positive thoughts.

so yeah that is one of my requirements, i dont want that gloomy energy in my life so i told him that. then we kept walking, harbour front is so pretty at night, im sad i didnt take a photo of the scenery.

one of the core memory of that date was when he said i was dramatic, in a good way. and i was baffled! i was like ??? excuse me? im not dramatic T.T then he goes on and explained that im dramatic in a good way. like: oh my god? you are lifting? oh my god? that is so cool!

and im just there listening to him like??? no im not like that! but he still kept going saying yes you are like that.

i guess im really expressive sometimes.. idk?? but yeah then we just going and going.. cant even remember half of the things we talked about..

only thing we got us going home is looking for a washroom.. cuz we wanted to go pee and we cudnt find one lol.

so yeah i guess ill end it here then ill add more as i remember things.

Callum: your WHAT.

Rayla: My birthday!

Callum: no hold up a second. go back. you're HOW OLD???

Callum: so you were. you were twenty when we first started dating?

Rayla: yes? Is something wrong?

Callum: I was FIFTEEN

Rayla:

Rayla: WHAT?!?!?! How-- who-- what-- I think I'm going to be sick. You seemed older than that! I can't believe I-- so that means now you're--

Fellas, is it gay to love something so much that any real reminder of it overwhelms you with emotion? Makes you curl up and throw it away so you don't break down and cry from just pure joy? Because you can't let yourself be happy and in love for some fucking reason, even if it's not a person you're in love with?

“Gratitude isn't only a celebration when good things happen: Gratitude's a declaration that GOD IS GOOD no matter what happens.”

“23 Verses About the Goodness of God” By Dr. David Jeremiah:

“God is good. But what does that mean—that God is good? The more I studied this word in the Bible, the more one central concept seemed to jump out: God’s goodness conveys His generosity. His goodness means far more than His generosity, but it certainly includes His infinitely generous attitude toward us. By nature, He longs to bring joy and blessing to all His creatures.

9. “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” —Matthew 7:11

10. “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” —Psalm 27:13

11. “I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. Men shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, and I will declare Your greatness. They shall utter the memory of Your great goodness, and shall sing of Your righteousness.” —Psalm 145:5-7

12. “He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.” —Psalm 33:5

13. “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” —Psalm 34:8

Steadfast Faith in Christ: Standing Tall and Moving Forward

In this critical time, we are called to elevate our faith and broaden our understanding of the grand mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Photo by Jordan Steranka on Unsplash Standing a little taller with steadfastness of faith in Christ requires a resolute commitment to His teachings and a deep trust in His divine will. As 1 Corinthians 16:13 encourages us, “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” This verse calls us to be vigilant, firm, and courageous in our faith. It’s about embracing a strength that…

The Art of Crafting a Microlearning Solution

Microlearning has emerged as a powerful strategy for modern education and training, characterized by delivering content in small, focused bursts. As we navigate the complexities of creating an effective microlearning solution, the design elements play a crucial role. Deciding whether to use infographics, podcasts, animations, videos, or a blend of these tools depends largely on the context and how these elements can be integrated to achieve the learning objectives.

Understanding Microlearning

Microlearning is designed to meet the needs of learners who are often time-constrained and require concise, engaging content. It leverages various multimedia formats to cater to different learning preferences and enhance retention. The flexibility of microlearning makes it suitable for diverse environments, from corporate training to academic settings.

The Role of Design in Microlearning

Design is the backbone of any effective microlearning strategy. A well-designed microlearning module captures attention, sustains interest, and facilitates better understanding and retention of information. The design elements you choose—infographics, podcasts, animations, videos, or a combination—must align with the learning goals and the preferences of your audience.

Infographics

Infographics are visual representations of information, data, or knowledge. They can be highly effective in microlearning because they:

Simplify Complex Information: Infographics distill complex data into a digestible format, making it easier for learners to grasp key points quickly.

Enhance Visual Appeal: The use of colors, icons, and layout can make information more engaging and memorable.

Facilitate Quick Learning: Learners can absorb and retain information faster through visual storytelling.

When to use: Infographics are ideal when you need to present statistics, processes, or comparisons that can be visualized.

Podcasts

Podcasts are audio recordings that can be accessed on-demand. They offer several advantages for microlearning:

Flexibility: Learners can listen to podcasts anytime, anywhere—during a commute, workout, or break.

Engagement: The use of storytelling and conversational tones can make content more engaging.

Accessibility: Audio content is accessible to individuals with visual impairments or those who prefer auditory learning.

When to use: Podcasts are effective for delivering expert interviews, storytelling, or explaining concepts that benefit from a narrative approach.

Animations

Animations bring content to life through motion graphics. They are particularly effective in microlearning for the following reasons:

Illustrating Complex Concepts: Animations can simplify and visualize abstract or complex ideas that are hard to describe textually.

Engagement: The dynamic nature of animations captures and maintains learners' attention.

Versatility: They can be used to demonstrate processes, show cause-and-effect relationships, or visualize data.

When to use: Animations are best for explaining technical concepts, demonstrating processes, or when you want to add an element of fun to the learning experience.

Videos

Videos combine visual and auditory elements, making them a powerful tool for microlearning:

Rich Media: Videos can include visuals, audio, text, and interactivity, catering to various learning styles.

Narrative Power: They can tell a story, provide context, and create emotional connections.

Engagement: Well-produced videos can captivate learners and hold their attention longer than static content.

When to use: Videos are ideal for demonstrating procedures, showcasing real-world scenarios, or when a more in-depth explanation is needed.

Blending Multimedia Elements

The true strength of a microlearning solution lies in the strategic blend of different media types. This blend should be guided by the context of the learning environment and the specific objectives you aim to achieve.

Identify Learning Objectives: Determine what you want your learners to achieve. Clear objectives will guide the selection and combination of multimedia elements.

Understand Your Audience: Consider the preferences, backgrounds, and accessibility needs of your learners. Different audiences may respond better to different media types.

Content Mapping: Map out your content and decide which parts are best suited for each type of media. For example, use infographics for statistical data, podcasts for storytelling, animations for complex concepts, and videos for demonstrations.

Consistency and Cohesion: Ensure that the multimedia elements are consistent in style and tone. Cohesion across different media types helps maintain a seamless learning experience.

Feedback and Iteration: Gather feedback from learners and continuously iterate on your design. This helps you refine the blend of multimedia elements to better meet the learning objectives.

Practical Applications and Examples

To illustrate the effective use of multimedia in microlearning, consider the following examples:

Example 1: Corporate Training on Cybersecurity

Infographics: Present statistics on cyber threats and data breaches.

Podcasts: Feature interviews with cybersecurity experts discussing best practices.

Animations: Demonstrate how phishing attacks work and how to avoid them.

Videos: Provide step-by-step tutorials on setting up security protocols.

Example 2: Academic Module on Climate Change

Infographics: Show the impact of climate change with charts and maps.

Podcasts: Include narratives from scientists and activists.

Animations: Explain the greenhouse effect and carbon cycle.

Videos: Document real-world effects of climate change and mitigation efforts.

Challenges and Considerations

While multimedia elements enhance microlearning, there are challenges to consider:

Resource Intensive: Creating high-quality multimedia content requires time, expertise, and financial resources.

Technical Issues: Learners may face technical issues such as compatibility, bandwidth limitations, or accessibility barriers.

Content Overload: Too much multimedia can overwhelm learners. It’s important to balance the use of different elements to avoid cognitive overload.

Conclusion

Launching a microlearning solution becomes significantly easier when you have a clear design strategy. The choice between infographics, podcasts, animations, and videos—or a combination of these—depends on the context and how well you integrate these elements to serve the learning objectives. By understanding your audience, mapping your content effectively, and maintaining consistency, you can create engaging and effective microlearning experiences that meet the needs of modern learners. The iterative process of gathering feedback and refining your approach ensures that your microlearning solution remains relevant and impactful.
