❓What would you name your boat if you had one?

✏️ I think I would name my boat Beatrice because I’m a huge fan of the A Series of Unfortunate Events Life update: We had our first midterms examination for the new semester earlier this week. It feels good to study again but also really stressful. I’m trying my best to stay active on all of my social media accounts.

Currently reading: Atomic Habits by James Clear. I have been enjoying this book so far! It’s remarkable. I have a Goodreads account in case you are interested on the books I’m reading.

Thank you for tuning in today’s post ❤️

❓ What are your favorite cartoon shows as a kid?

✏️ I really liked Codename: Kids Next Door, Higglytown Heroes, Little Einstein, and Baby Loony Tunes. I also remember watching lots of Dexter’s Laboratory, Ed, Edd n Eddy, and the animated Mr. Bean. Adventure Time and Phineas & Ferb are also great shows. Growing up, I now like the cartoons Avatar: The Last Airbender, Hilda, We Bare Bears, and Steven Universe. Now that I think about it, I was tuning in on quite a lot of cartoon shows Do you know where I can rewatch some of these?

Life update: Our classes for the new semester started last week and I’m having quite a hard time transitioning from an unproductive holiday break to a semester jam-packed with workload. I find myself waking up early but procrastinating and not making the most out of my time. I hope I pass through this phase because my backlogs are starting to file up.

Currently reading: The Beatrice Letters by Lemony Snicket

That’s all for today’s post!

❓Today’s question: What was the last movie you watched?

I’m currently torn on what the topic of these long captions I’ve been trying to write should be Do you want to hear how my student life has been lately or do you want me to talk about something else? I was thinking of maybe giving a few study tips every now and then but I think it will be best if you went ahead and check my Youtube channel for that because that’s where I explain study tips with more depth. I’m only a few days away from the new semester and I haven’t really done anything borderline ~productive~ to prepare for what’s ahead of me.

Currently reading: The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events 13th Book)

What are your comfort movies? (the films you watch when you’re feeling low and help remind you of better things)

Mine’s anything from the Harry Potter series, Little Women (2019), and Pride & Prejudice (2005). Life update: Things turned out better than I expected them to be. As you all know, I’ve been having a rough time fixing my schedule and getting back “in the zone.” Despite the inner battles, my academic standing was thankfully left unharmed (at least so far)

Currently reading: One Piece Volume 13 (this is the first manga I’m reading so I can’t say much about it for now) I won’t be able to upload a new video again this week as I’m trying to figure things out; but thank you for tuning in today’s post

❓What time do you usually wake up in the morning?

✏️ Normally, I wake up around 6 o'clock in the morning but lately, I’m having quite a hard time sticking to my old routine. ☹️

Life update: It’s a weird experience listening to Taylor Swift’s Love Story after all these years. It reminds me of the first time I have heard the song. I was a naive kid who daydreams about love stories (and I think I still do today) yet my love for independence and productivity has driven me away from the prospects of living in one.

Currently reading: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

❓Do you hate or love spending money?

✏️ I personally hate spending money unless it is on food, traveling, or on something I know is an investment. Unfortunately, it has been quite hard to save money during this pandemic and as I go on with my college course, I find myself in need for a greater amount of money due to necessary equipments we have to purchase.

Life update: I’ve been waking up late again which always leads to procrastination.

Currently reading: Again, but Better by Christine Riccio (and so far, I’ve been hating it) Thank you for tuning in today’s post ❤️

Haven’t been here for a while now. Just a quick update: I spent the last 2 months preparing for the licensure exam. I built a study routine and I’ve been studying every day ever since. It hasn’t been easy. I don’t even know what’s after this, but I’ll just try to go through it one day at a time.

I’ve been more active in my study account in instagram. It has been amazing and I’ve found a lot of support from people everywhere. Although, I have to admit that Tumblr still feels very special to me as it contains the rest of my journey from high school to med school. This is still my safe space, and I’m glad I still have this to voice out my thoughts freely.

How is everyone? I hope you are all doing okay

Keeping this drive despite the uncertainties of the future. I don’t know when I will become a doctor, but I’ll just try everyday to work towards that.

One system at a time. One day at a time.

I remember drawing all the branches of the abdominal aorta until its terminal branches back when I was a first year med student. Yet, I can’t seem to master them completely!

I don’t even know if this countdown ‘til end kf internship still applies, but keeping it there for the sake of it.

Hey guys, it’s been 4 days since we, medical interns, were pulled out from the hospital because of the corona virus outbreak. Everything happened so fast. I was catching babies that day for my neonatal rotation, then hours later, I was on a car ride home to my province.

Here I am on my 4th day of quarantine. My sister recently developed fever, cough, and difficulty of breathing. She’s currently admitted in a hospital back in Manila and fortunately, she’s stable. Meanwhile I’ve had cough, colds, and malaise ever since I arrived. This is why I’m taking this self-quarantine seriously. I haven’t touched or hugged any family member ever since I arrived because I can’t risk exposing my parents (who are both >60 years old) if ever I did catch the virus.

Anyway, I have 10 days left. I’ve been using this time to study Biochemistry through online videos and books even though I’m not sure if we’re gonna be able to take the licensure exam this year. The future is so unclear, and that thought kinda makes me feel demotivated. But I try to brush it off, just try to study like I usually do.

I hope everyone’s okay at this time of crisis. I pray for everyone who can’t stay home because they have to earn for their families. I pray for our frontliners, and my co-interns who volunteered to stay in the hospita despite the pullout. It’s times like these that we really need to help each other. I pray that this will pass soon. :)

my desk seems so organized lately all because I haven’t stayed in there for a long time. I’ve been sick for a week now and I can’t drag myself to work and study for our exam : (

I just wish i feel better tomorrow so I can catch up with my readings for Pedia

Hi! Got home from the mall and I’ll probably just rest now and will continue working tomorrow.

Im so happy to finally be able to go out. Glad that I only have two classes this semester. I get more time to study and rest at the same time.

Hope you’re all safe and well!

Happy New Year!

A bit late to greet you all a happy new year. Just an update from me since I haven’t posted in a while…

I dropped two subjects last semester due to my lack of foundation in those two subjects as some of the topics I missed when I got sick with COVID really affected my grades so much that I couldn’t catch up with the load of topics I had to study.

It was a difficult decision to make knowing that I’ll graduate later than my friends and my peers. I know that I had to do it for my future patients. I don’t want to face my patients knowing that I don’t have the knowledge and clinical skills needed to treat them. Despite having to drop 2 subjects, I performed really well with the rest of my courses and Im glad I did what I had to do

Sometimes it’s also important to know when to stop. Stopping at one point does not mean you’re giving up. It only means you’re resting and preparing yourself for another journey to you own success.

(Lol idk what im saying but you kinda get the point, right?)
