NOTE: THIS BLOG POST WAS WRITTEN IN OCTOBER, SO IT DOES NOT REFLECT ANY CHANGES MADE TO THE APP SINCE THEN. After months of planning, studying, hard work and dedication, I am pleased to announce to you all that my app is finally ready for execution on the Google Play Store and Apple's IOS. Yes, I made (coded) an app entirely from scratch, using nothing but books and definitely not the knowledge from my seventh grade computer science class. I taught myself coding and the process of creating a functional executable... that runs natively on mobile devices. I never told anyone I was making an app. I like to be mysterious. I also like to surprise people. Yes, I have engineered a fully functional app, something 99% of people my age have no idea how to do. That gives me leverage over everyone else. But this isn't me bragging about my achievement-- here, I'm going to talk...

01/31/26: What Makes an App Fun to Open?

The mobile enviroment is constantly moving, at a rapid speed. Today, many people ask where the future of Apple , Samsung , and other tech giants are going as the power of mobile devices heavily increase. But I want to ask something different. My question is "what makes an app fun to open ?" You have a lot of apps on your phone. But you only open about ten of them. Why is that? You feel no reason to open the apps that aren't necessary to your daily life. This maybe includes productivity apps, tools, etc. In this short and concise blog post, I'm going to explain three things that make an app genuinely fun to open. Let's get straight to the point: 1. A visually appealing app You shouldn't worry about this too much for V1.0, but if you want people to continue opening your app on a daily basis, you need to give a rocket-clear payoff. You can achieve this by having animations inside your app, an impressive splash screen, a tutorial (with moving widgets), etc. Who w...

9/14: SENIOR YEAR - How to Stay Motivated in High School (And in General)

Welcome back. Today, we're going to be talking about how after all these long, hard months, I have stayed motivated to do what I want to do. But first, I have a few promotions to make. The first of which is your reminder to follow me on all of my socials (where you can be directed to in my LINKTREE )-- especially Instagram. Instagram is where I spend most of my time curating a fanbase so I can maximize the amount of content necessary for my blog. Here's a quick sneak peak of what my Instagram looks like: Second of all, as you can see, things are quite different on this blog yet again, including that little form you see on the bottom of this page. And the popup if you've already received it. I've started my own monthly newsletter. The best part about it? It costs nothing to subscribe. You get monthly updates, insiders, and "sneak peeks" of special, VERY special projects I have planned. I highly recommend subscribing to my monthly newsletter, because, like I sai...

9/3: Don't Forget Your Graduation Requirements!

Something silly I threw up in my free time. During a town hall meeting for my school about a week ago, we had a lady telling us that we shall not forget about our graduation requirements before it was too late. That got me thinking: Who's going to be the guy who thinks he'll be graduating with the others, but is missing something... something really obvious to everyone else? Love having epiphanies in the middle of the day because the silliest idea can absolutely be the basis for a good cartoon. And if you know me, I love drawing my cartoons. Visual posting is honestly something I've been wanting to stray away from; However, come on. This is too good to not post here. As a matter of fact, I hope this gets used in the future by others as a reminder to not forget your graduation requirements, because this poor boy is so, so close to graduating. It could be any of us. Could this guy be me?... You won't know. CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO VIEW IT IN A HIGHER RESOLUTION.

8/31: The Top Ten Things I WISH I Knew Before Starting A Blog

As you all know, I jumped into the blogging scene relatively quickly. I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into. I started blogging to release my voice out into the open... but that come at a cost. You should always do research before jumping into something. Look before you leap. In fact, that was the topic of one of my Instagram posts a few months ago. It serves good advice because it's true, don't just start doing something because you feel like it. Imagine you're a ringleader. The head of a circus. But the train's chugging to a town you've never been to before, people you've never seen in your life. Don't you wish you would've looked into the town a bit before letting your entire circus travel there? That's what I feel for a lot of things. Not to say I'm part of a circus. I think you understand my point pretty well. As much I know you, there must be something you wish you knew before you jumped into something. There are certain things I...

8/3: EJ the Problem Solver; The Structured System

Happy August everyone, and welcome back to my blog. I decided to take time away from my blog because I realized... I felt like I didn't have control over anything. My life. My blog. My business . To cut it short, I realized I needed to stop living like a pussy and take back control of my own possessions. Including this. What's the use in complaining about literally everything going wrong with me when I'm in control of my narrative? Today, I'm here to tell you all... the story changes here. So, I've had this blog for over a year. I've wrote and wrote and wrote about various things, but I always suffered from one issue... Burnout. Why was I getting burned out so easily? I was barely writing!  I've strayed away from writing on the blog the entire month of July because the vision kept getting blurred. I didn't know what I wanted to write about. What to say. It's hard to write when you literally have nothing. The quality suffers. My problem was... I alway...

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY: EJ'S BLOG TURNS 366 DAYS OLD!!!

It's been a year. One hell of a year. I can't believe this blog is a year old. It really does feel like yesterday when I started blogging. And yesterday when I quit. And yesterday when my friend Camille convinced me to start blogging again. I've been through some real ups and downs, and you know what? It was all worth it. I love to write because I get to express my emotions in a healthy manner. If I don't like something, I'll just rant. Writing is my true passion-- this is what I was BORN to do. I've been writing since the age of 4. When I was 5, I started my first full-length book. And now, I'm writing blogs, scripts, and drafting novels, too! I couldn't have asked for a better passion, because this is what I live to do: Share my experiences with the world, whether you want to listen or not. So, how are we gonna celebrate this occasion? Well, since the blog is officially one year old, I decided to go all out. The day after the blog turned 365.  First, y...
