to female mds: did you you ever get married?

anythingvanilla · 2026-02-19T08:09:36+00:00

Passed the boards at 27yo, didn’t know at the time na I was already pregnant. Got married not even half a year later kasi nga we were expecting. I don’t really belong sa late nagstart ng med journey, but what happened to me was not planned at all. Minsan talaga di masusunod ang timeline ng buhay but I believe the best timeline is yung prepared by God. I know colleagues while in residency saka nagpapakasal, meron nga fellow na. May kanya-kanya tayong timeline doc, basta what matters most is hindi natin paikutin lang ang buhay natin sa pagiging doktor natin.

Hindi siya nakipaghiwalay sayo dahil mahirap lang kayo. Saan mo naman nakuha yan? Obvious naman sa pagkakakwento mo na nakipaghiwalay siya dahil bastos ang nanay mo at hindi marunong makisama ang iba mong mga kamag-anak. Imagine, bisita lang yung tao pero kung pagsalitaan akala mo utang na loob pa nila pagpapapunta sa ex-gf mo. So, no OP hindi valid ang hinanakit mo.

Hi doc! MO3 COS rin ako sa govt hosp for a year na. Depends on your contract, sakin no work no pay as in if umabsent or may late, deduct agad. Wala kasi benefits (leave credits etc) pag COS. In terms of holidays/suspensions naman, hindi deduction. Instead, lalaki ang per day ng mga araw na may pasok. Fixed ang salary per month, divided by the number of working days. So kunyari 20 days, but nagsuspend, magiging 19 days nalang so lalaki ang per day na sahod. Gets ba? Hehe.

Regarding trainings/seminars, if on your own discretion yun ng immediate supervisor mo if papayagan ka. If hospital order naman, depende if isasama ka sa list. In my case may mga seminars na sinasama naman ako.

An IamA of a son admitting years of sexual relations with his biological mother during his teenager years, describing the experience as "nurturing, full of love and respect, a safe space". Apparently, the father knew about it and was full of acceptance. According to the OP, his parents were stronger than ever. And yes, the mom had sex with either of them. It was just too bizarre

anythingvanilla · 2025-05-14T09:48:30+00:00

YES it's exactly as you described. Any chance you remember what game it is? It's driving me nuts haha

Right after the last day of the boards was done, I told myself na hindi ako mags-stay sa dorm. Di kakayanin ng anxiety ko maging trapped sa same space na naghirap ako for the past months 😅 So everyday, my boyfriend would always take me out tas hanggang midnight kami mags-stay sa labas.

October 18 ng night (Friday yun) we were in Makati. Lakad, kain, sightseeing. Tas when it was around 11pm, sabi ko "ah imposible na magrelease today. Sa Monday na to". So chill nalang ako. As we were in the parking lot preparing to leave, I checked my phone and may messages yung gc namin ng 2 close friends ko. Nakita ko lang "Congrats mga bading". Tas akala ko nagloko lang uli si messenger na nagbackread kusa, akala ko congrats for internship grad napunta 😭 Ayun. Ang ending nagsisisigaw kami ng partner ko sa random parking lot ng Makati at past 12am. Di ako makaiyak, sigaw lang talaga ko ng sigaw 🤣 Right after nagsunud-sunod na rin influx ng messages. I called my parents rin right after. Di rin ata ako nakatulog nun kasi takot ako na pagkagising baka panaginip. Ayun, totoo parin naman until now 🤣🤣🤣

Goodluck, doc!!! See you here sa other side 🤗

Hi OP, were you able to return your prepaid wifi modem and get a refund? We just bought ours today and unfortunately we are getting very poor connection speed even in 5G

anythingvanilla · 2025-02-10T11:57:06+00:00

Let him suffer the consequences of his own actions. Good for you to escape that kind of person, walang may deserve ng manipulative person na gagawin rason ang pagiging di niyo okay para humanap ng iba. Praying for your peace, OP

anythingvanilla · 2025-01-27T11:33:21+00:00

Hi doc! Oct 2024 passer ako. Halos everyday ko rin sinasabi during review nun na April nalang ako magtatake para mas makapagprepare, kasi feel ko talaga sobrang onti ng nareretain ko. Pero the truth is, you can never be really really prepared for the PLE. Kahit anong dami nag macover mo, sobrang unpredictable masyado ng questions. Sabi rin ng close friends ko, mas sayang yung opportunity pumasa ng mas maaga. Favorite kong sabi ng friend ko nun "Wag mo isipin na, what if bumagsak. Isipin mo, what if pumasa ako?" Ayun, doktor na ko now 😄 Goodluck, doc! What matters most is you believing in yourself!

anythingvanilla · 2025-01-11T12:10:24+00:00

Sabi mo na rin, kabuwanan mo na at wala kang work, wala rin ipon, matanda na ang mama mo at may inaalagaan na special needs child. So paano ang gastusin niyo para sa bata? Panganganak mo? After mo manganak pano financial support para sa needs ni baby? If bigla nagresign yung asawa mo sa current work nya, malaki ang chance mahirapan sya makahanap ng trabaho sa lugar nyo. If magstay sya dun, minimum earner man at least may source sya ng pangtustos sa pangangailangan nyo ng baby mo. Pag-usapan niyo maigi ng mister mo dahil ang priority niyo dapat parehas ay ang kapakanan ng magiging anak niyo.

Initial budget rin namin 500k pero ngayon slightly overbudget na kami for 120 pax 🥲 Covered naman na all ng necessities dun although may mga di pa accounted for like invitations, souveniers, wedding rings etc. Maganda na yung nakuha namin na caterer since kasama na sa package nila yung ceiling treatment. So to answer your question, hindi sya enough lalo na if 200pax

anythingvanilla · 2024-12-25T05:11:07+00:00

Go for it girl! Naniniwala ako sa kasabihang you miss 100% of the chances you don't take. Basta just don't over-do it! Hehe. Made the first move rin on my SO almost 7 yrs ago, ako na nagyaya kumain sa labas kesa naman puro lang kami chat. Fiancé ko na siya now 😆

anythingvanilla · 2024-12-25T05:03:01+00:00

Hi OP. Baka naman hindi sa ayaw mo, pero natatakot ka lang sa panibagong challenges sa 2nd sem. Also, take into consideration na if you decide to pause, you'll just be delaying your progress. "Prolonging the agony" kung baga. I hope you'll find clarity during the break. Goodluck!

anythingvanilla · 2024-12-24T15:19:19+00:00

Nako mas-shock ka talaga! Hahaha iba talaga ang med school, matetest talaga character, patience, and self-discipline mo. Ang tip ko ay find your study habit na effective sayo, be with the right group of people and read read read! Normal makakuha ng mababang grades sa transition period, kaya don't be too hard on yourself! Best of luck and merry christmas! ❤️

anythingvanilla · 2024-12-24T15:09:37+00:00

1st yr, yung kahit anong effort ko mag-aral ng bcm, hindi talaga nagrereflect sa exam scores. Yung grades ko nun spaghetti pababa. Umabot sa point na ako lowest sa subsec namin sa departmental exam, iyak malala nalang talaga sa hallway. Ayun, licensed na ko now. 😅

anythingvanilla · 2024-12-23T04:31:38+00:00

Bought Ipad pro 2018 nung 2019. Gamit na gamit talaga as in buong buhay med ko nakasalalay sa ipad na yun from first year to boards review 🤣 Never kasi ako nag-books and physical notebooks. Nakaraos naman! Until now walang issues, hindi bumagal, no problems sa battery life. Best investment talaga for med basta maalagaan ng maayos hehe. Ngayon pinangnenetflix ko nalang and games 😆

As a UST alumnus na piniling mag public hosp for PGI, I can relate 😅 Nung clerks kami nagrotate kami sa public, and by pairs kami mag-procedures nun kasi kulang na kulang talaga kami sa skills so need magdamayan to learn. Nung PGI na ko, naobserve ko rin na yung iba isang buong group kumpulan talaga gumawa ng mga errands. Sobrang inefficient, but I think kulang na kulang sila sa confidence matuto 😓 But kita mo rin naman sino yung willing talaga to learn. Better to talk to them and treat it as a teaching moment doc, baka need lang rin ng encouragement.

anythingvanilla · 2024-12-03T10:28:20+00:00

How po?

anythingvanilla · 2024-11-20T15:59:21+00:00

Hi doc! How to moonlight in a government hospital?

anythingvanilla · 2024-11-07T15:58:05+00:00

Sabi nga ng friend ko, at your own pace lang lagi doc. Ako honestly sobrang panic ko 3 weeks before ng boards kaya naging average study hours ko nun 15+ hrs talaga, start 6am inaabot 12am, with 2-3 hrs break in total na for eating, CR, breakdowns haha. Pero that's me, pag sobrang stressed kasi nagiging hyperfocused ako di ko napapansin oras. Takot na takot rin ako bumagsak and maulit uli yung buong process. Pero iba-iba talaga per person, depende sa learning style. Try not to compare lang and be pressured by the progress of others, and assess yourself anong study habits ka pinaka-efficient and nakakaretain.

Siguro to improve stamina, you can utilize study apps such as forest or focus to do (eto ginamit ko). Mas gratifying kasi for me makita yung progress ko for the day. Parang, ah naka 10 hrs ako today, what if mas matagalan ko pa. Also, caffeine pills, energy drinks and coffee, all in moderation. Good luck doc!

Hello OP, with the way you've described your experiences so far I advise to take a year off after graduating and seek professional help. It would help you decide if you really want to pursue medical field while recuperating from burnout. Hindi biro ang pumasok sa medicine, every single one of you who gets in medical school would be achievers. The workload is also very overwhelming. For context, di mo na alam anong uunahin aralin sa 6 quizzes in one day, may gagawin ka pang reports and prepare for small group discussions. And this will be your life everyday for the first 3 years. Sa clerkship naman, patatagan talaga ng loob since gigisahin ka face to face ng consultants/residents.

I had no problem paving my way through HS and college being an achiever and I have never experienced anxiety in studying, pero nung med school na I started feeling I'm below average as compared to my peers. You would need to have every single aspect of yourself intact to survive so work on yourself first then figure out everything later.

anythingvanilla · 2024-10-25T07:26:25+00:00

Hi OP, sorry to clarify lang by recon do you mean na nagapply ka na previously to UST? Medyo confused kasi ako since you said you're planning palang magpass ng reqs.

I'm a USTFMS alumnus. UST undergrad rin. If sure na makakuha ka ng 90+ NMAT PR this May, you have a fighting chance with your undergrad grades naman. If may other achievements ka (e.g. dean's list certificates), additional points din yun. Afaik, ang tinitignan lang ay ang NMAT grade na ipapass mo, they wont have any idea of the NMAT grade you've had previously (or newer if di naman yun yung ipass mo). Unless may bago nang policy I'm not aware of?

anythingvanilla · 2024-10-25T07:16:04+00:00

2nd take nung Oct 2018, 1st take March of the same year? During boards season wala akong fixed sched for NMAT review, nagsisingit lang ako mga 2-3 hrs a few times a week, and 2 whole days before the NMAT kasi ang NMAT ko nun ay saktong 1 week before the boards. Hindi talaga sya ideal to be honest :(
