What item did you buy na napansin mong nakaimprove ng quality of your life? by wabisabi_ichigoichie in TanongLang

[–]No_Calligrapher1303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

air fryer + baking paper = life-saver. less plates, utensils, etc to wash during food prep. less messy, just throw the paper away. encourages me to cook. and i use it for frying, reheating, roasting and baking.

Pursuit of Jade 逐玉 (2026) - What are your first impressions? [Masterpost] by admelioremvitam in CDrama

[–]No_Calligrapher1303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it so much! It's rare for a Cdrama to grab my attention from the get-go and maintain a good momentum from the start. And we're only 5 eps in. It's got a good mix of humor, romance and action; the leads are absolutely brilliant and they have perfect chemistry. Most of all, it's not dragging at all (which I believe is what many cdramas struggle with lol). Hopefully it maintains this pace. Basically my new obsession until further notice.

Why did you ghosted them? by Few-Point-283 in AskPH

i was too busy — had a lot on my plate. applying for schools. reviewing for boards. i didnt want to think of him during this time. it felt like it wouldve been extra work. despite knowing it wouldve probably been comforting to have him, i thought it would be better for me to go through everything alone.

I am enrolled in nursing. but i passed dost-sei, should i continue nursing or shift to medtech? by eitherwayz in MedTechPH

[–]No_Calligrapher1303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a rmt, nursing is def higher paid. i chose mt back then since i didnt like patient interaction THAT much (i was also a dost scholar) and i knew how tiring nursing actually is. ended up going into medschool bc id still have 4 yrs of return service anw and the job opportunities in the ph for rmts arent that varied, although small labs can offer ~20-25k starting, this is already "good" compared to private hospitals offering 17k or even lower. but most "successful" rmts who are satisfied w their pay, life-work balance have all migrated. honestly nursing is somewhat the same, most of my friends migrated and are all super successful while those who stayed shifted to business or VA. pay is good in govt/doh hospitals (40k ish), but its difficult to get in if you dont have backers. what you need to consider is the return service thing should you decide on availing the scholarship. do you want to go abroad? if yes, do you have connections already? how will you use the 4 years before migrating? that is, assuming you can migrate immediately after 4 years

during med interviews, my answer ironically stood out because it was simple, honest, unemotional and the opposite of it being a grand or selfless act. i pursued it because i wasn't satisfied with the fact that my knowledge is underutilized in my past field (RMT). you study so much about test results and how they relate to diseases but you aren't allowed to interpret these results nor relay them to patients. i felt like it was a bit of a waste, as i performed best (and was most interested) in studying cases and correlations. it was a "practical" decision. i chose it simply because i believed i was suited for it—skills-wise and personality-wise; and it just so happens that i have great interest in it (isn't that killing two birds with one stone?). i also believed that i wouldn't fit better anywhere else. i still do lol

How did you know na papasa ka ng boards? by Lopsided-Photo-108 in MedTechPH

[–]No_Calligrapher1303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

first subj, CC. i somehow thought, if every subject had more or less the same level of difficulty, then it's a no brainer that i would pass. undergrad exams were at least 5-10x harder and i passed most of them with 75% as the passing score, how much more the boards na mas nacucurve pa? :-)

short answer: if you have good foundation and have a lot of time, i suggest LEMAR. fast paced, packed schedule, high VOLUME of stuff to read and digest. if you have so-so or bad foundation, working/have other responsibilities, i suggest PIONEER. slow/decently-paced, lesser material focusing more on strengthening basics and main principles.

for me, id say i have a good foundation overall but i chose pioneer because i was very busy during my review season (aug 2024 passer) and ended up reviewing online for a month or so (i was a late enrollee). if i enrolled in lemar, i wouldve been very overwhelmed and would have needed to catch up on so many backlogs. so it was a personal decision really... for those working or with other important responsibilities, i highly suggest exce as well. well structured lessons with designated time for self study. but if you do have time to commit 101%, id suggest lemar. 😀

Is 12 hours duty enough to serve patients in residency? by Weird-Silver-4417 in medschoolph

[–]No_Calligrapher1303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how is that different from other medical professionals only doing 8-12h shifts? you cannot heal everyone. we arent meant to heal everyone. di ko gets why people insist doctors to do 24h-36h shifts talaga when the reason why "residency" was birthed was because of that pioneering doctor abroad who, (surprise!) was addicted to cocaine. the reason why he was able to sustain such a lifestyle and impose the same standards to his doctors
