My comp is restarting from time to time.

Voltages seem to be a bit off. I’m worrying it may be PSU dying. It’s 5 years old and from a bad producer, after all D: .

Animation // Week 14

The Assets for the scenario that plays before we explain the use of the website and the walkthrough of it. 

Assets in context of the rest of the background and video.

I’ve tried my best to match the assets in and out of the video together. It’s tough but it feels consistent among the 3 different designers that were creating graphics for the UI.

Had a wonderful last day with @vitacocoeu at Happy Place Live😊, this was a lovely event but also made it a great day to finish my internship at Vita Coco🥥🌴. It was sad to finish as I have met a large group of wonderful people who are so kind and caring that make Vita Coco feel more like a family instead of a work crowd 😊, Thank you to every single one of the lovely people @vitacocoeu for making me feel so welcome and making my time so wonderful at the Nuthouse🌴🥥. I will really miss you all ❤️. Stay in touch P.S. The sneeze sweepstake was a lovely and hilarious idea 😂😊🥥🌴#vitacoco #PoweredByCoconuts #HappyPlaceLive2018 #fundayatwork #internship2018 #summer2018 #VCFamily #wonderfultime (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bno_79YAcPV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p61jrncmrh23

Reflection

Being an intern at the Humanitarian Legal Assistance Foundation (HLAF) has got to be one of the most exciting and most fulfilling experiences I have ever had in my life. With my one-month stay in the organization, I got to participate in jail visits and case consultations and go to courts for case follow-ups. I even had the opportunity to attend Kumustahan 2018 and meet and take pictures with distinguished guests. However, for me, the most memorable (and my favorite) part of the internship has to be the jail visits.

Through these visits and the succeeding case consultations, I have the opportunity to hear the other side of the story. The media may portray them in the harshest light, but their perspective on what happened reminded me that they too, are just ordinary people who had ordinary lives, dreams, jobs and aspirations before their arrest. Despite their bad reputation, they deserve and are entitled to the same type of justice bestowed to everybody else. Their crimes do not negate their right for a fair and just trial and certainly not their right to be treated decently.

Through the case consultations, I have witnessed first-hand just how inefficient and slow the country’s justice system is. In the countless interviews we have conducted, the recurring problems seems to have something to do with the system itself. It is either that these PDLs have no schedule set for their next meeting and/or hearings always get rescheduled due to absences from either the judge/prosecutor/lawyer/complainant.

As we all know, the Philippine judiciary is not only terribly understaffed but also overworked. However, prior to HLAF, I did not understand just how understaffed and how overworked they were. In one of our jail visits, it was mentioned that a PAO lawyer handles about 500 cases daily. With that many cases, a lawyer cannot possibly attend to them all, let alone properly defend their client. On the other hand, judges are also scarce. As I have mentioned above, most of the prisoners’ hearings are suspended and rescheduled at a later date as the judge/ lawyer/ prosecutor attends a seminar/convention/etc. Furthermore, their job rotations also affect the process. A number of PDLs have cited that their cases have not been given attention since their old judge and/or PAO lawyer has been assigned to another branch. This further slows down the process as the new judges and lawyers have to orient themselves on the cases they are now handling.

A problem also exists in the rehabilitation treatment. Some PDLs have waited for months just to go the rehab centers; however, they are unable to do so since these centers are already full. Another problem also exists in information dissemination. Take for example, the new guidelines regarding the plea bargaining for cases under RA 9165. According to the PDLs, some judges and lawyers do not even know that plea bargaining is already available. Moreover, some court branches are selective in granting their plea bargaining. For example, court branch A accepts the plea bargain of the accused charged for violating section 14 of RA 9165. However, the PDL’s co-accused whose case is assigned in court branch B was denied of the plea bargain despite having the same case. As a result, PDL A is already free while PDL B remains in jail.

However, despite the slow and inefficient process, HLAF tirelessly does its best in their job. As I have mentioned in one journal entry, HLAF has three programs- Jail Decongestion (JD) program, Focused Reintegration of Ex-Detainees (FRED) program and lastly, the Center for Restorative Action (CRA) program. In the JD Program, HLAF is exerting its very best to release as many PDLs they can and free up jail space. On the other hand, HLAF’s FRED program assists soon-to-be-released PDLs by equipping them with values and life skills that can help them in their lives upon and after release. Moreover, the CRA program is an avenue to uphold the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (JJWA) and is mostly concerned with cases involving Children in Conflict with the Law (CCL). With this, HLAF has conducted countless forums, symposiums, and trainings in various barangays and communities.  

As one can see, these are all time-consuming programs. Being their intern, I can certainly say HLAF’s jobs are no joke. However, I understand why the organization still tirelessly continues their advocacy. Through these programs, HLAF is able to reach out and make a difference in the lives of these people. Their smiles and their messages of thanks are more than enough. Hence, I am absolutely thankful for HLAF for accepting me to be one of their interns. It was such a surreal and wholesome experience. The JD team as well as my fellow interns have certainly taught me a lot regarding the country’s justice system. Because of them, I was able to go to courts and experience case follow-ups. I got to interact with government employees who answered all of my queries. I got to see the reality of the country’s jail situation and learn a lot regarding the law and judiciary process. I was able to talk with numerous PDLs and hear tons of stories. Most of all, I was given the opportunity and the avenue to give back and serve the people.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience HLAF! Kudos to all the people that created, supported and still supporting this organization! 😊

Proud to announce that I will be interning for KSUX 105.7 FM this summer. I have been told that I will be writing for their website. I did already announce this last weekend, but I thought I would make a dedicated post to it now because why not, right? Can’t wait to see what opportunities this brings! #KSUX #Radio #FMRadio #Intern #Internship #Internship2018 #Writer #Blogger #JournalismMajor #Summer #Summer2018 (at Sioux City, Iowa)

Okay, my learning streak has finally ended, at 14 this time, breaking the previous record of 9.

Haven’t done any progress on the Responsive Web Design Certification (300 hours) projects since Monday. Just did JavaScript challenges to keep up the streak.

Yesterday I couldn’t concentrate and couldn’t solve the newest challenge because I couldn’t understand the examples and only did this this morning (was active during night) which was more than 24 hours since the last challenge completed.

But still the streak was much longer than all previous ones.

I finished 5/7 of the Basic JavaScript part of the Javascript Algorithms And Data Structures Certification (300 hours) course on freeCodeCamp. I’m pretty sure the course is much longer than the web design one. I think it was 120 hours long, not 300 hours and this one will probably be longer than 300 hours. Though maybe I’m simply doing much less per day with it.

[astralmouseart]

I just realised I haven’t posted this update on Monday. I’d swear I posted it. I think what happened is that my browser crashed and I lost all I wrote and was too tired to write it again.

Oh, had the text saved in my tumblr.txt:

Continuing my internship.

I’ve spent about an hour reading The Artist’s Guide to GIMP, 2nd Edition: Creative Techniques for Photographers, Artists, and Designers. Have read 3 pages of the chapter 1.2 Layers and Mixing Modes. I had difficulties following it because of severely under-sleeping.

Also, I watched a video about download, parsing, etc. costs of JavaScript. It was pretty interesting as I used to loathe JavaScript because of all the people who don’t optimize it when making websites.

I’ve also spent 1 hour cropping, correcting and colouring one of my spiritual self-portraits. I realised doing so helps me to get into focused mode necessary for learning and it doesn’t require such levels of focus in itself, so it can be a good start.

As losing focus is one of the difficulties of being a R.O.U.S., Indigo with some traumas that made things much worse when it comes to performance.

I finally completed the 3rd part of Responsive Web Design course on freeCodeCamp - Applied Visual Design.

Tried to use some of it on my page. Ended up placing a plane image on the page and having it move at ~300km/h to the other side of it. Yeah, I converted the plane speed to animation speed XD .

The last thing I’ve done during that internship day was trying to make put a form and a JavaScript code on my mouse page to see if I learn basics of JavaScript by making functional webpages instead of just writing code in the console.

I find writing code in console highly uninspiring. Like in, yeah, one can learn stuff, but it doesn’t do anything.

It’s better to make, like some unit conversion page or something - I find making practical things much more motivating that just learning the theory.

So, I tried and failed and realised I’m doing it wrong way, because forms are for submitting stuff to php, I think, so I left it for the next day as I ran out of time.

Overall, it was pretty successful day. Finally finished that part of the course, got into the GIMP book and finished reading.

[astralmouseart]

Continuing my internship. Was trying to make a simple page yesterday.

It was supposed to have pink body, indigo wrapper and for start a header and three sections with content. As a R.O.U.S., Indigo, I like that colour.

Turned out that I don’t understand how the boxes work. The wrapper covered only the header. It was one of these moments when one learns something and then realises one doesn’t have a solid grasp on how it all works.

First, I just set height of the wrapper, but it didn’t really solve the problem.

Then I remembered reading about some positioning settings making elements not count as blocks and stuff like that and I checked what happens when I comment out the float property. It turned out that indeed, float causes the browser to treat the blocks as non-existent.

So, I looked into HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites and saw that indeed, the float property causes parent elements to be treated as if the floating element isn’t there unless there’s another element after it.

It turns out one needs to set overflow value of the parent element to auto. This made the wrapper display correctly.

Also, got back to learning GIMP with The Artist's Guide to GIMP, 2nd Edition: Creative Techniques for Photographers, Artists, and Designers. I need to learn to make textures and stuff, besides buttons, banners, etc.

I realised that I keep getting stuck because I don’t learn enough stuff concurrently which leads to having periods of not doing almost anything when hitting a roadblock with specific subject - in this case CSS graphics/animations in Responsive Web Design course on freeCodeCamp.

Also, need to get back to learning JavaScript.

I think the part of the internship where I’ll make a company website for my mother’s company is probably still, like, a month away because I don’t have a solid grasp on the basics.

It’s not easy to be a R.O.U.S., Indigo!

UI Finalised // Week 13

This is the UI We’re proposing to the clients. It’s very clean and very contrasted yet simple. The colour palette appeals to a younger audience and that’s beneficial for the clinic. 

[s3488913]

Colour and Script // Week 12

These are a select few colour schemes I came up with but there was some conflict on what ones looked best.  Turms out the clients liked the top right one best. 

We also decided to confirm a script for them too and have them record and send it back to us as the experience of watching the video and their patients heard a friendly voice would be a relief but also make the experience there feel very personalised. 

Script:

“Are you feeling overwhelmed?

Does everything feel like an effort?

Always tired?

There may be a reason for it. This bucket concept may help breakdown and let you understand why. It’s a visual representation of your mental capacity for how much you’re able to handle.

First off with this website you’ll need to fill out your name.

Next we’ll move onto the stressor list

Add struggles and issues you’re currently facing or things that may be relevant to your stress levels. This may be past experiences or potential events.

From here we move on to add them into the bucket. This will pop out a new panel with options to help you categorise. Past. Current and Future. By selecting one or more it will appear in the bucket.

You can also add some comments and adjust the water levels for that stressor with the sliders.

Back on the list of the stressors we have an icon that pop up on the side to indicate the categories you may have put them in.

Once you’ve finished and your bucket is full of your personal matters you may realise that it’s quite full and that’s perfectly normal.

Now it comes to the stress relievers. Who and how can things help you destress and get you relaxed?

How effective is it?

What are some behavioural traits that you have when the stress adds up?

Lack of sleep, for example? Add them all here.

When you’re finished you’ll see this screen. It’s the home screen. It’ll be a compilation of all the previous lists that you can adjust at any time.

We also have the menu in the top left corner. Here you can load… (Pause)  save … (Pause) and reset the buckets. These ones are pretty self-explanatory.

Capture, on the other hand, will save what your home page has with clearly labeled lists and your bucket.

And that’s all you need to know to get started. 🙂”

Meet 4 - Mock up Presentation // Week 11

We met up with Richard again and went over a lot of the works we had. The mock up he’s seen is very pleased with. We gave him some Options to work with. The walkthrough is very easy for him to navigate. He knew what most things did and this was a very positive outcome for us. We just needed to finalise colour as Winnie’s version was very dull compared to mine. What makes it tough is that we wanted a colour palette that the clinicians were happy with. 

[s3488913]

Website Animations Prototype // Week 10

We all worked to find ways to create an engaging experience through the UI interface as it would make it feel so progressive. 

Elkie’s initial idea of having a gif like animation at the beginning/ on the splash page would make it fun for users. It’s a great way for us to display others struggling without disclosing their information.  Also having a few example bucket that is full of different stress is a good way to help some of the users/ patients see what potentials they have of using their own buckets. Gives them reminders but also helps them normalise a lot of their own issues. 

We’re talking about making some of the screens having a parallax effect that allows us to carry that engaging experience all the way through. 

[s3488913]

UI Mock Up // Week 9

Winnie and I both came up with our own UI and the different usability versions of it. We came up with one each. We took into consideration colours and animations and the way it would transition between each one step. My envision was to make it super playful and engaging through the feedback we got from the clinicians which said that the users were mainly thrown into the clinic because they were court-ordered to or hospitalised. None were there out of free will and by making the transition easy and appealing the clinicians wouldn’t have any backlash.
