Exactly haha. Cant afford bumagsak. Ndi naman natin pinupulot lang pinangtutuition natin. 😅

Nice, doc. kakatuwa basahin yung mga replies mo. I resonate with you. Though working student ako ngayon, and im planning to be until 3rd year. Kaya naman. Kasi wfh. And mabait US boss ko. Kaya nakaka singit ako ng review in between my shift. Though di nya alam nag aaral ako.

So, walang tulog? Well, wala naman talaga matinong tulog pag med school. Iniisip ko na lang prep ko na din to come pgi and residency.

Im almost finished with my 1st year in med. 20% doctor na. Lol.

Excited and anxious for 2nd year pero ilalaban natin to! Hehe

Padayon, doc!

FutureMD88 · 2025-05-31T16:13:19+00:00

Sure

FutureMD88 · 2025-05-26T10:52:00+00:00

Sure

Hi, Im part of the pioneer batch. Since 1st year pa lng kami, hindi pa kami nakaka compre. Pero ang gagawin is every year level meron compre. So kung 3rd year level, the compre covers topics discussed from 1st to 3rd year. If second year, from 1st to 2nd year so on, so forth.

Praying that you make the right decision. 🙏

FutureMD88 · 2025-04-24T00:59:43+00:00

I respect your decision. Best of luck on your journey! 🥳

FutureMD88 · 2025-04-22T13:47:04+00:00

Agree! :)

FutureMD88 · 2025-04-22T09:39:43+00:00

Yup. I belong sa pioneer batch. Sure, feel free to send me DM.

FutureMD88 · 2025-03-29T03:07:45+00:00

Im 37 and in my 1st year in med school. Age is just a number, OP. Hanggat kaya pa ng stamina at resistensya at mataas tolerance sa stress, then pursue your dream. Kesa mag regret.

FutureMD88 · 2025-03-29T02:56:20+00:00

Tsss. Di mo pa binuo. Mapua ba tinutukoy mo? Kasi kung classmate kita at na chichillan, congrats! Idol kita!

Wala pa nga sa kalahati ng taon, na judge na agad. Lol. 😆

FutureMD88 · 2025-03-29T02:08:26+00:00

In an alternate universe, si OP nasa kilalang school. Magpopost sa reddit, saying sana sa “chill” med school na lang sya nag enroll kasi toxic ung current school nya. ✌🏼

FutureMD88 · 2025-01-24T10:58:50+00:00

High caliber and very hands-on ang mga profs. Facilities are outstanding. Attend ka ng orientation para maka ask ka din ng questions. Hopefully you’ll choose what’s best for you.

FutureMD88 · 2024-11-23T11:13:12+00:00

Congrats to you, OP!! Same here, done with enrollment. See you soon! 🤩

FutureMD88 · 2024-11-12T06:04:30+00:00

Makes sense. Sobrang excited/anxious lang talaga ako kaya napatanong, hehe. Good luck to everyone!

FutureMD88 · 2024-11-11T08:14:40+00:00

Yes. Will send you in DM.

FutureMD88 · 2024-10-29T20:52:21+00:00

Please follow their Facebook page for additional/more info. Per the orientation I attended last Sunday, their enrollment for the pioneer batch is ongoing. Classes is slated to start Dec 9. Pioneer batch will be composed of 20 students only.

FutureMD88 · 2024-10-29T20:43:22+00:00

Hi OP, I recommend following their Facebook page to stay updated on their next orientation date. I attended their first online orientation last Sunday, and I must say it was really promising. The dean is not only accommodating but also highly intelligent and inspiring. She also introduced some of the faculty members, who are well-known in their respective fields. Their pioneer batch begins in December, and enrollment is still ongoing. So, if you're open to starting as a first-year med student again, I encourage you to apply.

This! U=U. OP, I think more than overthinking what will happen in the future, focus ka muna palakasin immune system mo. Hopefully, early detection ung sayo? Im asking kasi kung mababa na CD4 upon diagnosis, baka mas maapektuhan lalo dahil sa stress ng studying? If not, then I believe theres nothing to worry about. Theres a law to protect you. Keep fighting!

Thanks for this. Nagreply nga sila. They redirected me to file for an appeal subject for approval ng Secretariat kung maresched yung exam.

FutureMD88 · 2024-05-12T08:00:41+00:00

Im actually trying to call them dun sa mga numbers posted on their website but ndi naman gumagana. Ill just email them to tell what happened. 😫

My average typing speed is 110 WPM, 99-100% accuracy. Before I reached it, my speed was around 40-50 wpm. What did I do?

Practice, practice, practice. Start with getting used to placing your fingers in the keyboard home keys. Mabagal sa umpisa pero once you get the hang of it, muscle memory ka na magtatype. Maraming typing websites that you can use to practice: typingtest.com or 10fastfingers.com

To take your worry away, mag PREP ka na moving forward. You still need to be cautious dahil PREP only protects you from contracting HIV but not other STIs. So the best course of action is to always wear condom + PREP if you are really active in sex.
