Hello studyblr community!

how are you all? i'm doing fine & still alive. i'm happy for being productive in terms of watching tv series & movies, doing artworks, playing with our dogs, being more active on instagram, lying around, and reviewing my old notes on pre-med subjects that i love! i've been resting for a long time and realised that i should go and get a job. so right now i'm searching for a medical job cuz i still want to be working in medical field or any available occupation related to medicine. 😊

also, there might be few changes on how i post contents here. like, the format, and the content itself (don't worry it'll still be about medicine, studying and stuff like that). i just wanted this page to become more than just a "blog" but more of like being my personal journal. i wanted to share my experiences about "after graduating at university", my work stuff, my decisions in terms of getting back at med school and such! so that's it. i hope you guys are doing well & also please take care of yourselves. ❤️

ps. i just finished reviewing my anatomy notes so probably i will post some *studying content anytime soon!

Hello studybloggers! A lot of you are sliding through my inbox asking me questions related to my NMAT experiences and the like, so this post will be my answer :)

My NMAT journey was stressful and fun at the same time. I can say i give my best answering every questions but the time given to us is very limited so there are some items i haven’t really read and just answered right away (sad but true + it happened to most of us). I confidently answered part 1’s Verbal & Perceptual Acuity test, as well as the Biology & Social Science of part 2 exam. I’m the very first person to say that i’m not good at math and logic, that’s why i had a hard time answering Quantitative, Inductive Reasoning, Physics and Chemistry. Most of our mentors said that many examinees find those topics mentioned above hard to answer as well, meaning, having more knowledge on those topics will give you a greater percent of attaining higher score. So for my NMAT score, i didn’t reached my target score but i’m completely fine with it. Not that i’m not sad bec. i actually am, but because i know i gave my best. :)

Right now i’m planning on retaking the NMAT exam on October this year. If some of you are confused why i didn’t take the March-exam, it’s bec. i decided to enter medschool next year and have a year-off now. I wanted to experience things i know i might not be getting once i entered medschool. Which means, i wanted to experience having a work, to travel, go out, do my hobbies guilt-free, discover new things both in myself and the outside world. This decision is the boldest i have ever made & i’m anxious and proud of myself for taking this chance. :) Medschool will always be there but the experiences i can get right now will not stay— and who knows? Maybe these experiences will help me to become a better doctor i could be someday! :)

I’ll still be posting contents, school related ofcourse & try to update you all every now & then. So this is studyingain saying thank you for all the studybloggers who had stay tuned on my blog! We will be whatever we wanted to be someday! Just carry on and give it your all! ♡

QOTD: how do you make your bullet journal spread?

answer: for my weekly spread, i usually follow a theme and this one’s obviously in red. i print and cut-out my desired stickers. customarily, i first put the stickers then do the labelling. sometimes i like it simple & clean but if i want to fill out the empty spaces i just draw & doodle.

life update: only a week and month before 2019 ends and i hope you all are doing fine. lot of things are happening in my life right now, i’m exhausted but i’m hanging in there. trying to be productive as i can be and telling myself that this too shall pass. i may not know what’s happening in my life right now but deep inside i know all of these will make sense. so, keep your eyes on the prize! you can do this, you got this. goodluck studynerds! 🤓

good day studyblr community! here i serve my bullet journal spread from last week. time flies so fast, so much things had happened and i’m happy to still be here.

what are you guys up to? mine is clearly doing bujo and now planning my study sessions. goodluck with everything you’re doing. you got this!

Hello studynerds! So here i serve you my two bujo spreads (first and second week) for the month of October. 😊 Almost two weeks left before NMAT here in the Philippines will start and i’m super anxious of what will happen on me during the actual examination day. This coming sunday will be the last and final coaching for my review and i’m happy to learn a lot from them! Now i’m trying to relax and get myself together, trying not to be too overwhelmed and intimidated by the topics and subjects and trying to believe that i can do this! I hope everyone’s having a good day! Goodluck on your exams, you also got this. Okay? Okay. Stay hydrated everyone! 🤗❤️

Hello studyblr community! I’m back with another bujo spread. i’m starting to love brown/beige tones that’s why i made it my theme for the third week of September. (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎) Most of you already know that i enrolled myself in a review center for the upcoming NMAT exam. With that being said, i also remember that i will explain how to enter medschool here in Philippines. I’ll gonna make it short and brief, so here you go:

To enter medschool:

• you should be a graduate of any 4-year-course/s (pre-med courses have an advantage since they mostly have the science related subjects with units that is required to any medschool)

• NMAT, this is a pre-requiste for you before entering medschool for it’ll determine which school can you get yourself enrolled. this is a percentile ranking so each takers are basically competing to get the higest percentage. You can also take this exam thrice & mostly, people do it two times (first one is for experience and the second one is where they’ll take it very serious).

• Medschool of your choice. Of course, you’ll need a medschool to get yourself into. There are lots of medschools here in Philippines that’s why you don’t need to feel very pressured except if your goal is to get in on well-known universities.

My NMAT exam will be held on October 27, 2019 and i’m actually starting to feel anxious about it. I’m studying and trying to get myself together and hopefully ace this exam in this first shot. There you go! I hope i helped you somehow to understand the process of entering medschool here in Philippines. Have a great day everyone! Stay hydrated nerds! 🤓♡

Hello studybloggers! Since i don’t have any classes anymore and i got more leisure time, i decided to study/ artwork as well. So here i serve you my newly made brain diagram as i study the nervous system. I sketch, paint and did the labelling in the end. I am so happy to be back here and being able to share contents to all of you! I know that school can be so time consuming but please, give time for yourself as well. You should also learn how to prioritise yourself or else you’ll get burn-out (which happened to me). Wish you all a goodluck for your school exams! Stay hydrated friends! You can do this. 🤗
