After 2 years, I’m back. Hello, tumblr! I missed the hang of writing! ❤️

My life lately…

Trying to balance my personal & professional life.

Life being a doctor is way more difficult than medical school. But wouldn’t do it the other way around. Will share a lot more of my journey in my next blogs. Just so glad I have the time to do this again. Yay.

It’s not about what others do, what others say and what others can anymore. It’s about what you do, what you want and what you are capable of becoming. Isn’t that something great to keep you motivated & moving? 🫶 Tanggap lang ng tanggap. Laban lang ng laban. Keep on moving forward. Even if it scares you, even if future’s unknown. Go lang ng go! Push for your dreams, push for your future! 🌟Believe in yourself that YOU CAN, YOU WILL BE ✨

Yes, I am feeling it. And I will endure it. I miss the grit, passion and motivation to work hard for something I truly yearn for. This day forward, let’s to our best self to keep on moving and reading and learning and studying. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity that can make or break the decisions I will make in my life. THIS TIME NOW, I WANT AND I WILL PURSUE THIS.

Not everyone show the silent battles people are facing in life. Be gentle and open-minded. Just breathe it out. Choose to be kind amidst any circumstances. The amount of perseverance these people have inspires me. We are all on the same ground yet their grit & motivation pushes me to go forward and be patient. When the spirit & body becomes tired & unwilling, we rest & freshen up. But only to come back and finish what we started.

I WILL PASS MY EXAM FOR NOVEMBER 15, 2022 FOR AUSTRALIAN MCQ MEDICAL EXAM✨

My study space

As I start my med school this year, this area here in my bedroom would be my study space, It is beside a big window so I get all the sun shinning on me while I'm having my online classes. I hope to stay inspired,motivated, keep my feet to the ground and be confident enough that I can finish this semester with no failing grades. 😌

The first week of online medschool has been hectic but effective (at least for me). I really love how our school discourages synchronous meetings (via zoom). All lectures are uploaded as pre-recorded videos in our google classroom. Despite the bulk of materials, I have the freedom to plot my own schedule and to change the speed of the lectures, to suit my preference.

Is this worth the tuition fee? It’s still a big no despite the 12k discount. Primarily because we won’t be able to use the laboratory facilities, and yet we are being charged for them.

Huge Update!

Well, I have been busy with vacation over the past few months but going for the MD is still there <3 So, I said I was applying to St. Luke’s (SLCM) and DLSHSI but fate *cough* parents *cough* told me to not waste anymore money since I was already accepted to other med schools.

Out of the four med schools I have already applied to, I was accepted to 3/4! :D I was accepted to UERM, ASMPH, and USTFMS (still shookt about the last one) :D

It was actually funny since UST came out with the results on March 1. I kinda screamed for my mom to tell me my name was on it since I really didn’t expect. A week later, UERM came out and I was part of the first list of successful applicant. Then finally, on the day I was getting documents for confirmation, ASMPH sends me an email saying that I was accepted. I am really grateful for being accepted in these med schools but I had to make a decision.

and ultimately I chose

. UST-FMS and I have already enrolled for SY 2019-2020 <3 

Yasss Future Thomasian Doctor <3 A lot influenced my decision but really it was one of my parents. When I found out I was accepted to both UERM and UST, I had to list the pros and cons of both schools. Personally, I found the curriculum of UST more appealing and I liked the campus more the more I think about it. 

The post regarding application processes and some tips will be posted soon as I just need to edit it a bit more <3  Till the next~

Awhile ago, I had this conversation with my mom, a conversation that I’ve been longing to have with her--me entering med school. Galing kasi akong seminar and then I told her my plans na kung wala pa ring tumanggap sa akin dito baka mag-relieve muna ako sa mga lab. It’s a good starting point naman habang nag-aantay ng maghahire sa’kin. Then she asked ulit kung ano bang mga future plans ko. Sabi ko, “Mag-iipon muna po, tapos balak ko magmed.” 

I thought magagalit siya. Although she knows it’s really my dream to be a doctor since grade school pa. And she’s been really supportive. She asked, “Kaya mo ba?”

“Opo.” Sabi ko. I am emotionally prepared na for med school, tbh. Sa nakikita kong post ng friends ko na nagmemed tsaka sa mga rants nila sa akin, malamang sa malamang pagdadaanan ko rin yun. But if I can’t stop thinking about myself wearing a white coat doing the rounds and be called ‘Dra/Doc’, I should hold on to that dream, diba?

“Eh yung NMAT, kaya mo ba yun?” I nodded. 

“Ikaw ba ma, gusto mo ba ‘ko magdoctor?” I asked her. 

“Oo naman. Pero yang med school, buhay na ng mga tao ang usapan dyan. Sige go, magtake ka ng NMAT. Basta sigurado kang kaya ha?”

Mah heart is....aAaAaAa! Sabi ko sa kanya wag niya muna isipin yun, mag-iipon muna ako. Basta alam ko na I have their support, okay na ‘ko dun.
