Lagi kong pinagdadasal na sana may isang lalaki na dumating sa buhay ko na kaya akong mahalin na katulad ng pagmamahal ng daddy ko. Salamat Paula at minahal mo ako ng higit sa inaakala ko. Habang buhay kita mamahalin at aalagaan. At hihingan ng pera 😘. Mahal na mahal kita.

finally married to the love of my life

boyfriends appreciation post ~

A licensed physician. A registered medical technologist. But most importantly, a bulilit to daddy. I miss you so much dad. How I wish you were here at this very special moment. I love you always dad. This is all for you.

November 30, 2023 –

Can’t believe it’s the last day of my birth month. This month has been a roller coaster ride. It could either break me and make me. But nonetheless, I would always be grateful. It was just the day 1 of the PLE and I could already feel that I will not make it. I was thinking that I will just finish the remaining 3 days of the PLE and not to expect anymore. I prayed that I can accept the results wholeheartedly. But on the day of releasing of the results, I cried my eyes out when I saw my name like I literally cried for 30 minutes. I believed that everything will fall into places at the right time.

I am currently enjoying the days after the PLE. This is the first OFF from everything since 2018. I can’t believe I have endured 5 years of medical school even thought I am thinking of quitting every single day for the past years. I am always going out especially with my boyfriend and enjoying moments with him without any academic responsibilities with me and I am so happy. I will be always thankful for him because ever since we have been together, he was so supportive. He bought me an ipad pro last year and now he bought a magic keyboard. I was really shy because I know how expensive these things but he always tell me that I deserve everything. 🥹 He even bought me a phone because I lost mine huhuhu. Now that I can earn my own money, I can already buy him things.

I miss going on hospital duties but for now I will take things slowly. I am planning on going to residency late next year. For now, I will be doing moonlighting and teleconsultation. I know in my heart that I love to be at OPERATING ROOMS, so either I will be a surgeon (it can be OBGYNE, ENT, ORTHO etc) or an anesthesiologist. And I have already ruled out being a surgeon. But the downside of being an anesthesiologist is that I can lost my clinical eye. ☹️ I will not handle patients at the ER, ward, ICU unless they will be referred to me. I have learned so much from my internship on the government hospital. My eyes have been opened on the reality of every Filipino families and the reality of our healthcare system and it really saddened me. I cannot offer too much but I hope I can save lives one patient at a time.

FINALLY A LICENSED PHYSICIAN ♡♡♡

Di pa rin talaga ako makapaniwala 🥹

Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nagdasal at naniwala po sa akin.

Paul, salamat sa araw araw na pagsuporta sakin simula ng review season. Sa araw araw na kape at sa mga pagkain. Mahal na mahal kita.

Salamat mommy sa lahat ng suporta. Hindi biro lahat ng gastos simula ng premed at ng med at pati internship kailangan ko pa rin humingi ng allowance pero patuloy mo pa rin ako sinuportahan. Salamat mommy mahal na mahal kita. Habang buhay ako magpapasalamat kung hindi dahil sayo wala ako ngayon dito.

Sainyo daddy at papa, para sainyo to. Miss na miss ko na kayo sobra.

At higit sa lahat, kay Lord. Ikaw lahat ng ito. 🙏

Haven’t post anything in a loooong while. Currently losing my sanity and torn between taking the PLE or not. I have already set my mind on what residency I would like to take. But I don’t know if I am a hundred percent ready on taking the PLE. I’m so afraid with the what ifs in my mind.

Dear Jec,

Your journey of becoming a doctor was never easy and will never be. You doubted yourself everyday. You always think you can't make it but look at what you’ve become.

To all the sleepless days and nights, the pressure and frustration of people around you, the tears on your pillow and paper, the loneliness you always kept inside and the people who believed in you and doubted you, these are all the things that made you.

To the people who always believe in you and supported you, ate Eva Lingat, tita Nora Cuya, ninong Ruel Maligaso and to your love of your life, Paul Santos Nonat, she will always be grateful.

To your angels above, Papa Bruno and Daddy Apith, your bulilit has turned your dreams into reality.

And lastly, Mommy Tin Ladiero, the one who helped you turn your dreams into reality, who made a lot of sacrifices and compromises, and love you unconditionally, "thank you" will never be enough.

I got rejected twice with my chosen hospital for the PGIship program. I’m so frustrated. I doubted myself everyday. I thought I’m nothing at all. But God has always the best plan for me. I got accepted with one of the best government hospitals in the country. I know this would be a great step for me to enhance my knowledge and skills especially I had an online clerkship.

I’m also already preparing for the physician licensure examination. I know it’s too early but I want to ace the PLE.

Dear self,

MIA for months —
