Describe your understanding of critical thinking that you had before the class, and reflect on what you may have learned.

Critical thinking is an essential mindset for individuals to navigate. It involves analyzing facts to fully understand a problem or subject. The critical thinking discussions in class were detailed and practical, particularly the video by Pooja Nansi, which offered a designer's perspective. I found it fascinating when she talked about The Golden Staircase; it can be viewed as a piece of art by some and an obstacle by others. Thereby, we should identify the problematic aspects and find ways to address us to move on to the next stage.

What have you learned about Mindfulness? How might you integrate this into your learning environment?

Mindfulness involves being fully present in the moment while embracing an attitude of tolerance, patience, and faith. While this may seem straightforward, we often find ourselves disconnected from reality and distracted by trivial matters. Being mindful allows us to recognize our current state, helping us to ground ourselves when we ask, “Where am I?” Instead of passively accepting information without understanding our mental state, being aware of our position and nurturing our minds will empower us. As we progress, this awareness will foster greater growth.

Describe an eventful moment you have experienced in this class.

I can confidently say that every moment was filled with excitement. Each interaction was captivating, providing both encouragement and inspiration. What resonates most is that my classmates have similar ambitions, enabling us to compete while also uplifting one another on our paths toward achieving our goals. I take great pleasure in connecting with peers in the same field and nurturing new relationships and communication among us.

CTS Week 5 Growth Mindset

While doing our class activities today, seeing the different types of fonts was exciting, and the fact that I don’t remember many of them was even more intriguing. Thinking about the fonts more clearly helps me see them in more detail and see what attracts or diverts my attention from them. I think being able to analyze a font that I never think of was very eye-opening and helped me realize that there are many things that attract me to a specific logo. This activity made me realize that I always have more to see in this world and even more to remember.

Fig. 1

Fig. 2

These are the two sketches I liked the most. Fig. 1 I enjoyed playing with the mustaches of the origins logo and putting the brand name on them. I think it’s very fitting, and the brand name fits with the mustache really well. Fig. 2 is like how I wrote the brand name. I think the boldness of the words made me like them more since they are more out there. Though I like both, I think it would've been better if I made Fig. 1 with the font of Fig. 2.

Fig.3

Fig.4

I think I didn’t put too much thought into these two figures, so it didn’t come out as satisfying as the others. I do like Fig.3, and if I had put more thought into it, it could’ve come out better, but Fig.4 feels ‘lazy,’ and it feels like I did not put too much thought into it. I think because it was one of my last designs, I ran out of ideas and couldn’t conjure more.

Week 2 Connecting Theory and Practice

This week, on week 2 the activity we’re doing is to sketch a self portrait based on the theory of my practice in life and college. And he’s the sketch of my self portrait that I did.

“What is the theory of my everyday activities?” was asked to us by the lecturers. As an International student, I do think about my daily activities a lot. I’m thinking about what time should I wake up in the morning so that I’m not late for class, thinking about what lecture is it gonna be that day, what will me and my friends have for lunch, how is the afternoon or the second class will be like, and even after all the classes are done and it’s time to go home, I’m still thinking of all the things i need to do. And that’s just the smaller case of it.

Now, the bigger case is all the activities beside school. I mean, even though it’s outside school time, I still need to think and do the assignments given to me as it is our responsibility. But there’s no way I’m spending all my time doing school assignments or projects, so of course there’s time to do some fun too. Most of the time, I usually go shopping or brunch with my friends in a cafe or restaurants. While it is fun, it’s also sadly expensive… So, what I did is I managed the frequency of my spendings and the amount that I spent. I think that’s how I practise the theory I had in my head in my everyday activities.

Anita Blair was the first guide dog handler in El Paso, Texas, when she graduated from The Seeing Eye in March 1940 with Fawn, a German shepherd. The photo is a black and white photo of Anita being guided by Fawn across a bustling city street in the early 1940s.

Just a month later, Anita and Fawn were crossing a street in El Paso when a car nearly hit her. “Fawn, the fawn-colored German shepherd, with perfect timing checked her mistress’s pace, so that the car sped past without the driver being aware that the young woman could not see,” the El Paso Times reported on April 19, 1940.

Fawn was at her side when she graduated from the Texas College of Mines and Metallurgy – now known as the University of Texas at El Paso, or UTEP – with a bachelor’s degree in 1944. She later earned a master’s degree from Texas State College for Women, now Texas Woman’s University, in Denton.

In 1946, Anita and Fawn were again in the news during a tragic fire at the 23-story Hotel LaSalle in Chicago. According to the June 6, 1946, issue of the El Paso Times, Anita was awakened by screams. “When I opened the door the smoke was so heavy I could taste it,” Anita told the newspaper. “I closed the door but did not want to get Fawn excited. Because of her I remained calm – and probably because of me she did the same.”

Fawn led Anita out the window and down the fire escape – 11 stories down – while the fire raged. Sixty-one people were killed in the fire.

In 1952, Anita became the first El Paso woman – and the first blind woman in any state – to be elected as a state representative. During her time in office, Anita fought for funding for the State School for the Deaf, teacher pay raises, and a bill that allowed women to serve on juries.

Anita returned to The Seeing Eye five more times to be matched with successor Seeing Eye dogs. Her last was Beryl, a black Labrador retriever, in 1990. Anita died in 2010 at the age of 93, and in recognition of her service as a state legislator, is buried in the Texas State Cemetery in Austin.

The Lines of your Soul

by athena_crikey

M, 24k, Wangxian & Nielan

Summary: At this point he just wants to get Lan Zhan horizontal so he can sleep off the drugs that are making him make little confused snuffling noises and ask questions like “How soft is purple?” and “Where did the moon go?” and “Why does Wei Ying smile all the time?” Lan Zhan under the influence is cute, and it makes Wei Wuxian genuinely angry because he cannot appreciate it. This is not something Lan Zhan chose, this is not even an accident, this is an intentional violation and none of the sounds or questions or wide-eyed glances Lan Zhan is giving him are his choice.

Not an easy read, there is a lot of hurt there, but how lwj and wwx behaved in such an awful situation really got to me. -Anon

Summary: There is an indescribable rage boiling within Lan Wangji's chest. Lan Wangji has often heard stories of unsuspecting travelers being taken from their camp within the night, held against their wills only to be somehow found weeks later, dead and in the most horrid of states. Stories are hard enough to read about. It is worse, he thinks, when it is Wei Ying he is here with, gagged and bound in the same way. They walk, and walk, and walk, and they do not stop.

Part of Bottomji Big Bang 2023

Summary: A new job brings Wei Ying to London, and back into Lan Zhan's life. Many things have changed since their time in boarding school (Lan Zhan is out of the closet, arranges charcuterie boards, stocks a fine bar…), but their friendship slots right back into place like no time has passed. Wei Ying is a little perplexed by the fact that Lan Zhan apparently doesn't have any interest in dating anyone despite being an obvious catch—but hey, at least that means he doesn't have to fight anyone for Lan Zhan's time and attention. And besides, it's not like Wei Ying is in any big rush to find himself a girlfriend either. It’s all working out great!

💙 The epic college romance between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan

by KizuKatana (@kizukatana)

E, WIP, Series, 57k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary part one: The (bitter) third party pov of the epic college romance between Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, as told from the pettiest NPC to ever exist. - - - - - A new student transferred into the university in their second year, and Su She was gleeful to see how much Lan Zhan was irritated by him from the very first day that the student (Wei something) showed up late for class with a ratty hoodie pulled up over his head and proceeded to sleep through lecture. Finally, someone else would be the butt of everyone’s jokes as they watched Wei Ying constantly try and fail to get Lan Zhan’s attention. When midterm grades came out, Su She was expecting the guy to be humiliated. That was… not what happened. Worse still, Lan Zhan was now actually turning his head to look at the guy when he spoke. And... wait, was Lan Zhan… putting his hand on the guy’s ass?! No. Su She does not accept this.

I love historical aus and Greaser!WWX with GoldenBoy!LWJ is one we know well, butI love this fic for all the heart it has and the way it covers setting-typical homophobia.

Mad about the Boy

by TriviasFolly (@triviasfolly)

M, 62k, Wangxian

Summary: It's 1954, and Lan Zhan's life would be going well if it wasn't for the charming Wei Ying. Did he say charming? He meant annyoing. If it wasn't for that smile Lan Zhan could accept the future planned for him, the job as Cheif Surgeon who returned home to a demure wife who'd cook him dinner and asking him about his day. Instead, he finds himself dreaming about something more. So when Wei Ying offers him a deal, one that would get him out of Lan Zhan's life he took it. When the evening goes wrong, Lan Zhan expects his life to be over. Instead, he finds it's just the start of a new chapter.

~*~

The way this author made the story of the Scarlet Pumpenel fit in mdzs is, in my opinion, masterful. The arranged marriage is built on devastating misunderstanding after devastating misunderstanding, but the identity shenanigans are so fun! Other highlights include Jiang sect love and wangxian adopting not only A-Yuan but MXY as well. So much fun and an epic adventure! @gentil-minou

The Scarlet Lotus

by rainbowninja167 (@rainbowtitania)

M, 137k, Wangxian

Summary: In the years following the Sunshot Campaign, the mysterious, masked cultivator who’d defeated Wen Ruohan took on many identities: the Yiling Patriarch, leader of the Wen rebels, enemy of the Jin Sect, practitioner of wicked tricks. His true name was shrouded in mystery. He always wore a mask. He carried no sword; wore no clan colors or insignia. Clouds of resentful energy clung to him as he walked. But there was one thing that absolutely everyone agreed on: the Yiling Patriarch could not possibly be from the Jiang Sect. Or: a Scarlet Pimpernel-inspired fix-it featuring Wei Wuxian in disguise, Lan Wangji determined to bring the nefarious Yiling Patriarch to justice, and the hijinks that ensue when you accidentally marry your greatest enemy/love of your life.

💙 Concord

by Deastar (@youhideastar)

T, 41k, Wangxian | Kay's Rec

Summary: Lan Wangji hopes, somewhat frivolously, that his betrothed might find him an acceptable companion. Neither he nor Wei Wuxian are able to bear children, so there will be no need to share a marital bed; that should make it easier for the two of them to reach a natural, comfortable equilibrium. Two strings played in harmony: this is Lan Wangji’s quiet hope, as he arranges the Jingshi to accommodate a second inhabitant. Perhaps, he thinks, they might even become friends.

Summary: At first, he thinks he’s caught a bird; it’s the size of one of his palms and wrapped fully in damp feathers. As he shuffles toward the beam of light that streams through the open window, he wonders how it managed to fly into his lantern, shut the door, and latch it against the wild gales of the wind. Then, he takes a closer look, thumbing across its feathers, and realizes that they’re not feathers at all. They’re leaves. Startled, Lan Zhan shifts as gently as possible and, using the tip of his finger, parts them to reveal a body, complete with tiny limbs and a small face, all of it wrapped in the dress made from peony petals. “Oh,” Lan Zhan breathes softly, heart clenching. “Oh, what are you?” -- A thunderstorm brings tea master and herbalist Lan Zhan a companion he never knew he needed. A tale of love, loss, and letting go.

Summary: Lan Zhan's brother draws to a halt next to him, staring at the man on the other side of the counter. "Oh, it is you, isn't it?" The man, still propped against the counter on his elbow, gives Lan Huan a grin, then directs it at Lan Zhan again. "I don't know," he says. "Is it? Am I?" "You are." Lan Huan is hurrying around to the other side of the counter, a wide smile on his face, while Lan Zhan looks on, feeling more and more perplexed, like he's stepped into some alternate universe where absolutely nobody is making any sense at all. "Wei Wuxian! Lan Zhan, do you know who this is? It's Wei Wuxian!" Lan Huan is reaching for the man's hand, and he pushes himself lazily to standing, shaking Lan Huan's hand warmly. "In the flesh," he says. "You caught me." "My goodness." Lan Huan is staring at him like he's never seen a human being before in his life. "What on earth are you doing here, of all places?

[mariacallous]

In August, a swarm of hopeless and horny romantics on Reddit disputed the pros and cons of Bumble, the dating app that requires women to make the first move.

“Besides barren wastelands like [Plenty of Fish] crawling with bots, scammers, hookers, and psychos, this app has to be the worst,” one user posted.

Said another, “Lots of fun conversations but ghost city when trying to get a number or plan a date.”

Other Redditors openly shared how they met their partners on the app, but the consensus was unequivocally clear: Bumble, like the majority of dating apps currently on the market, is bad. “If Bumble is the worst dating app, then what’s the best alternative—Tinder, Hinge?” asked one user. “They all suck so which one sucks the least?”

After a decade of swiping left and sliding into DMs, many people are now longing for a simplification of the dating pool. As with so much about the internet, online dating made everything accessible all at once and turned socializing into something of a competitive sport. Waves, swipes, likes, and roses embodied the desires of a generation of users ravenous to find connection however they could.

But the glow has worn off, and there is growing sentiment among young people that dating apps, once considered the future of romantic connection, are broken.

Facebook Dating is all old people. Raya is full of posturing. Hinge, which bills itself as the “dating app designed to be deleted,” conceals its most attractive daters behind a $50 monthly subscription (or, at least, that’s the theory according to a handful of TikTok users). As for Tinder, the app that revolutionized online dating when it launched in 2012, it “has become the dating air, or maybe the pollution, we all breathe,” writer Allison P. Davis observed last year, reflecting on the Olympian level of difficulty modern dating presents for many people thirsty for connection.

Dating app disillusionment is felt most strongly among college students, according to a new study from Axios and research firm Generation Lab. Most are forgoing regular app usage (79 percent) in favor of in-person connection, a fact that seems at odds with Gen Z’s innate gift for virtual expression on platforms like Snapchat and Twitch.

“Dating apps promised a quick fix to the messiness of love,�� says Carolina Bandinelli, a professor at the University of Warwick whose research focuses on the digital culture of love. “Their promotional narratives spoke about reducing love to a simple procedure. Dating apps promised a love that ‘works.’ But they do not ‘work’ as they are supposed to, yet they create the expectation of love as an efficient business. Users get frustrated with this.”

That young people in college are choosing to forgo digital connection is not as shocking as the study suggests, says Paul Eastwick, a psychologist at UC Davis who specializes in the nature of attraction. “College students are in the fortunate position of being surrounded by many similarly aged peers, and their social networks are in a constant state of flux. Online dating sites and apps are typically going to be especially useful for folks whose networks feel frozen and who don’t have as many opportunities to meet new people through friends of friends,” he tells me. “So it makes sense.”

The culture of online dating will continue to evolve, as it has over the past decade. Although many young people are taking a more traditional alternative to apps—while also relying on options like Date Me docs—that has not stopped Gen Z from being vocal about the culture that surrounds modern relationships.

Since the publication of her 2008 book, Hooking Up: Sex, Dating, and Relationships on Campus, Kathleen Bogle, a sociologist at LaSalle University in Philadelphia, says the biggest evolution in dating culture was prompted by women, who have brought more transparency to the dating process. “Platforms like TikTok have created space for women to upload videos talking about their issues with the hookup culture, such as not getting what they want relationally, feeling used, the double standard, and, in some cases, the lack of sexual pleasure for women,” Bogle says. “In previous decades, women may have felt this way but only talked about it with their own friendship circle, not online to thousands of followers.”

Online dating is now a multibillion-dollar industry. From 2016 to 2021, global subscription rates for apps increased by 81 percent. Analysts predict that despite market saturation and a current decline in user growth, companies will pivot to monetization by any means, a move that could further spoil what people believe is an already poor user experience.

The current techlash is a byproduct of the environment dating apps have contributed to over the past decade. We are inching toward what Bandinelli refers to as a period of post-romantic love in our digital society, where conveniences such as dating apps play a hand in rewriting “the ethical codes of love with the objective of building a notion of love deprived of pain, loss, and negative emotions.” In this new notion of love, if it should even be called that, the human experience that characterizes dating, its highs and lows, is flattened through machined exchanges.

In a quest to streamline romantic connection, it seems we are losing all that makes it worthy of pursuit. “With new technologies, there is always a period in which they seem to take over what was in place before,” Bandinelli says of then and now. “Then there is a counterforce, and people want to retrieve what seems to have been lost.”

Congressman Dwight Evans (born May 16, 1954). He was born in Philadelphia. He attended Germantown High School, and the Community College of Philadelphia, graduating, and graduated with his BA from Lasalle University. He worked as an employment counselor, a job developer, and a community organizer for the Urban League of Philadelphia, before becoming a teacher in the Philadelphia Public School System.

In 1980, he was elected State Representative from the 203rd Legislative District. He was re-elected twelve times against only token Republican opposition and made history in 1990 when he was named the first African American to Chair the House Appropriations Committee in the state legislature. He held the position for the next two decades when Democrats were the majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

He championed the Philadelphia Fresh Food Financing Initiative, which brought together public and private funds to expand and build grocery stores and food cabinets in designated “food desert areas” across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Initiative created over 5,000 jobs and nearly 100 grocery stores while bringing fresh fruits and vegetables to underserved areas across Pennsylvania. The program became a model for the entire nation.

He was instrumental in the efforts to build a new Convention Center in Philadelphia. He ran unsuccessfully for Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania in 1986 and became the first African American candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania in 1994. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor of Philadelphia in 1999 and 2007.

In November 2015 he announced he would run in the Democratic Primary for the 2nd District seat. He won an upset victory in the Democratic Primary in April 2016 and won both the regular election and a special election to fill the two months left in the term. He now represents Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District.

He sits as a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus. He is a member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee. He released his book Making Ideas Matter: My Life as a Policy Entrepreneur. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

I have a massive interest in fine art, and I believe organizing an exhibition in other fields would be an incredible opportunity. Exploring the thoughts and emotions artists wish to communicate through their art, and presenting that in an exhibition seem captivating (LASALLE). This process extends beyond the works to include areas like spatial design, art history, and visual arts, allowing me to improve my communication skills and expand my knowledge for better collaboration. Moreover, I could enhance my design career by applying my unique talents in visual design where needed.

As the design world evolves, so do design exhibitions. A good example is the exhibition at the Busan Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which highlighted painting and collaborated with the graphic design studio DDBBMM (Lee). The curator manages all facets of exhibition design, from theme planning to creating visual materials like posters and videos, as well as researching artworks. This experience would not only cultivate an artistic viewpoint and visual appreciation but also ignite creativity for generating varied ideas and planning exhibitions. Additionally, it would offer valuable lessons on the significance of careful observation and exploration.

It's thrilling to envision how the plan might transform into a final project at LASALLE College of the Arts. The campus boasts multiple exhibition spaces, providing a great opportunity to delve into details while offering both time and mental advantages. I would also love to collaborate with the Singapore Art Museum, as I see it as the ideal place for gaining profound insights and knowledge in Singapore.

Taking on the role of a curator through fine art and exhibitions appears to be an excellent way to enhance critical thinking skills as a designer and artist. This experience could foster a diverse skill set, promoting growth in problem-solving, teamwork, communication, and creativity. It’s not just about crafting visual designs, it’s about navigating space and interacting with various elements and senses.

CTS Week 3 Emotional Intelligence

The flaw that you immediately notice  in someone you meet  Is probably a flaw of yours, too. If you didn’t have it, You wouldn’t have noticed it so quickly. -Haemin Sunim p.131

Sunim, Haemin, et al. The Things You Can See Only When You Slow down: How to Be Calm in a Busy World. Penguin Life, 2018.

Today, we were paired up and interviewed to delve deeper into understanding each other. Interviewing each other made me realize that there are more things I need to work on, but it also made me realize that I’m more than I thought I was. Being able to know what I lacked when working with others helped me realize I should take more time to fix some habits of mine, but I was also relieved to hear what my partner had to say about my strengths. I was told my relationship management was better than I had initially thought, which brought up my confidence. It helped me realize I should become more confident when talking to people to improve my communication skills.

While I have much to improve in all aspects, I am best at being self-aware. I often have time to myself at night, which helps me reflect on the whole day. I may be too critical of myself, but I think being self-aware is excellent because I can know my shortcomings and always try to fix them in my spare time. Though it may be good to be self-aware, I should improve my self-awareness because I become too self-aware to the point where I get scared to speak up. I may be good at being self-aware; however, I’m not too good at managing myself. I’ve never been good at time management and managing my work. My work ethic has never been good, and it is slowly getting better, but I think I have to put aside separate time to work on my self-management.

sabi ko kay nikko, if i see something like signages or anything comes with 'MBA' mageenroll ako next academic year pero sabi niya regardless naman daw kasi basta maipilit ko gagawin ko pa din. first option ko is plm (as suggested na din ni Kade @/sinceriouslyy) then beda (shempre suggested niya rin) or lasalle as my third but not my last option. medyo namiss ko mag-aral and i really want to enter teaching na rin (wow) pero shempre sa college tayo kasi wala tayong pasensya sa mga bagets. 🤣
