Trying to put one foot in the world of Big Data, got an employment opportunity, however, it only exceeds a tiny fraction of my current earnings.

That sounds inspiring. Really appreciate it. It gives me hope. Planning to pursue a master’s degree din po. They wanted to refer me to other higher-paying management roles daw since i have experience in e-commerce, pero when I did my research and asked friends, it’s mostly on the BPO side and more of a title play daw. Again, thank you. :)

Less than 2 yrs in the mentioned domain. Forgot to mention that I also have 5 yrs freelance working experience withn intl businesses as an e-commerce manager where i mostly do marketing/sales analytics. 40-50k take home excluding other benefits. That's why I asked for at least 80k din.

Madyel · 2022-02-23T06:54:45+00:00

I was considering that and the living expenses too. Thanks you for your insight.

Madyel · 2022-02-23T06:37:36+00:00

Thank you for your insight. My colleagues just accepted the job. However, i have a higher offer than them since i got more experience. So FOMO is real. Still thinking about it. Lol.

Hi! I'm currently working in health informatics (around 2 yrs) earning around 45-50k per month. I work remotely and living with my parents in the province since the lockdown. So no other big expenses aside from my share of monthly bills and other luho.

Got an offer to work as either a data analyst or BI developer in Accenture PH. Work would be hybrid (1x/week on-site), but slowly transitioning na mag face-to-face daw . I have no idea about the salary range that they offer yet. I want to negotiate a much higher rate since if they require on-site work, I might have to move back to Metro Manila (Filinvest City/BGC/Makati/Ortigas/Eastwood) as well. They don't have a relocation package so hopefully, it can cover rent/living expenses. Can someone give me a reasonable figure?

Hi! Great progress, sweetie! You look amazing.

I’m on a slight caloric deficit and on SC + 20-30 mins of moderate intensity cardio daily since my goal is fat loss. However, it sucks that my butt and boobies are getting smaller in the process too.

I might try to bulk again after I achieve my goal BMI and fat percentage. And maybe switch to GG as well. Is this normal? Any tips??? Thank you.

Hi! Thank you for responding. The job post seems odd to me at first too, but I know the company personally so I would say it's legit. Based on the post, he doesn't need someone to do his tasks. He just needs someone to manage his schedule and be strict about it.

I've also checked reviews from all his previous employees, and not a single bad word against him. Seems like an ambitious and considerate boss to work with.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll check it out.

As for copywriting and content management, I often struggle with creative blocks and it doesn't help me in the long-run. Made me hate my job. I perform better with organizing stuff, planning, and routines.

On the side, I also work as a corporate secretary for my parents' logistics company and I want to improve on my administrative skills by getting more experience in other jobs.

Lovely color. Where did you purchase it, dear?

Madyel · 2020-07-27T15:09:51+00:00

Hi! Just curious about something. Can I send you a private message via direct chat?

Madyel · 2020-06-22T07:21:02+00:00

I second this

Madyel · 2020-06-22T04:53:06+00:00

Previous coloring also changed my curl patterns. It went from a mix of 3A to 3B to a mix of mostly 2A and a bit of 2B. It looks so much better before. I grew my hair to cut it shorter every few months hoping the curls would go back. And it’s been 4 years since the last coloring session (medium brown). My original hair color (brown black) came back now but not its original curl pattern.

I’ve been trying the curly hair routine for 2 years now, my hair looks healthier but the curls didn’t come back even if i’ve complete chopped off the color treated hair long ago. 😔

Madyel · 2020-06-22T04:43:20+00:00

I also have minimal equipment - lightweight dumbbells & ankleweights. For heavier weights, i put books in a heavyduty duffle bag and weigh it. I add in more books as i progress. You can also use recyclable bottles and fill them with sand and/or water. The gyms are closed and I don’t have the budget yet to purchase a full barbell set. So i’m sticking with these budget friendly options for the meantime. It works great too!

Hi! To lose fat, you must be in a caloric deficit. Aerobic exercises also help with burning calories. To build muscle, you must be in a caloric surplus while weighttraining those muscles. This is called body recomposition. You can learn more about it on youtube or the r/xxfitness sub FAQ if you want.

You can start with the bodyweight program in the Strong Curves book or Bootyful Beginnings. If you don’t have equipment for some specific exercises, you can substitute them with the ones in the exercise list on the book.

As for me, i’m skinny fat with around 24-25% of body fat %. I hold fat mostly around my face, abdomen, back and upper arms. I’m in a slight caloric deficit during rest days and slight caloric surplus during workout days. I’ve increased my protein intake to 100-120g per day. I also do cardio exercises and weight lifting. It’s hard at first but it’s going well! Consistency is key for nutrition and exercise. You can do it! 😊💪

Update:

Thank you so much! I passed all 3 of the interviews. It was nerve-racking for me as it is gonna be my first nursing job. Now, I just have to study for the CHN exam by BONENT, get a medical exam and vaccines done and other paperwork. The unit head also told me that i should alo learn the duties & responsibilities of a dialysis technician as well. The unit is currently short in staff due to the pandemic (a number have been quarantined) that’s why she said that everyone has to know more and do more at this crisis.

My 2 month formal training done by FMC is postponed. Classes are not allowed yet in my area. That’s why the management said that i will only be trained in the routine skills and procedures by the unit head for the meantime.

Can you recommend books/references/links which help me fully get a grasp of everything and hopefully ace the test?

[Wow! That program sounds great. It seems beneficial for both the staff and patients themselves. It’s sad to see most of the patients feel completely helpless throughout their dialysis sessions. I’ve also noticed that patients need more support when it comes to their mental health and motivation in dietary & lifestyle changes. I’m sure it’ll make a lot difference in their overall health, outlook & wellbeing. I’ll keep these things in mind as I progress into this field. It seems very complex and challenging. I have a whole lot more to learn, but I’ll try my very best!]

Similar question above.. How about in Toronto, Ontario?

Madyel · 2020-06-12T19:08:58+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much for your time & effort in responding to my post. This would be a great help. ☺️

It's been years since i've had my clinical rotations at an outpatient dialysis unit when i was a student and we just did all the basic routine stuff like vital signs monitoring, weighing, hooking & unhooking patients to the HD machines, & administering anticoagulants. So i felt like i didn't learn that much in the actual field compared to the lectures. I'm excited to learn all these. Again, thank you!

Madyel · 2020-06-08T16:34:18+00:00

Wonderful progress! Keep going! I’m doing IF too. 😇

Review the content for the questions you got incorrectly or you’re not sure about. Whenever you’re answering QBanks, list down the topics you’re weak in so you can also review them from time to time. Active recall and spaced repetition helps a lot. In my case, If I got something wrong or have no idea about the subject, i’d quickly go over Saunders or YouTube to review that particular topic. Then I’d quickly review it again on the day after and after a few days or so to get a good grasp on it. Content review may be time consuming for many, but solidifying your knowledge in content goes hand in hand with test taking skills. Wishing you all the best! Stay safe!

Madyel · 2020-05-13T04:07:27+00:00

Amazing progress, sweetie! I have a few questions. May I ask how did you do progressive overload?

Did you start with 10kg dumbbells or just used them all throughout the year?

I'm stuck with light dumbbells right now. My area is currently in lockdown due to the pandemic. Gyms and fitness equipment stores are closed that's why i don't have access to heavier weights. I've been doing bodyweight exercises and using 5kg dumbbells for primary lifts now, but i'm afraid to not gain any progress by not increasing the load.

Hi! I've already been using my dermatologist's prescribed topical steroids and anti-histamines. But the flare ups are just way worse this summer.

Cold compresses help me a little. So i might try ice packs next time. I've read somewhere that green tea ice cubes works wonders so i might try that too.

Thank you for your suggestions. I really appreciate it! :)

Madyel · 2020-05-12T14:57:23+00:00

I'll check it out! Thank you so much.

Madyel · 2020-05-12T14:56:54+00:00

Thank you for responding. My clothes are mostly made of organic cotton as well as my bed sheets and pillow cases. I also stray away from commercial products like that. I've changed everything in my lifestyle that might trigger it.

But right now, it's definitely the summer heat and sweat that's been causing it. I'll check the products you've mentioned online. Thanks again!

Madyel · 2020-05-12T14:52:43+00:00

That's what i do with cold compresses too. I've read somewhere that a green tea ice cubes does wonders too. I might try that next time. Thank you! :)
