The Verdict.

The Verdict.

Hello guys! I promised to give you guys an update about how my examination turned out. After hours and hours of dreadful waiting and as one of my friends told me "Agony in the Garden", I'm sure that's not comparable but I really feel the same way. Anyway. The whole list of successful examiners was released a couple of hours ago and yeah I'm blogging about it now! 
Always Do Your Best. Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret. - Miguel Angel Ruiz
I passed! OMG! I can't even you guys. Thank you to all my friends and family for praying for me. I didn't tell a lot of people so I was really nervous that not a lot of people prayed for me but obviously, I have told enough people to lift me up! I actually think that even if I just only told my mom, I would still pass because she would be praying sincerely for me I guess but nevertheless, thank you guys! Not saying others didn't pray sincerely okay? LOL. When I found out about it, I went down right away and I told my sister first because she's the first one I saw and then my mom who apparently overheard it, asked me to repeat what I've said, went out of the veranda, hugged and congratulated me. I couldn't be any happier. Thank you mom for believing in me and for supporting me. Thank you for all your sacrifices! FYI, my mom woke up early for 2 days to make hatid to me at the examination venue. I owe you everything mom. This is for you. 


Thank you cousin for doing the same! I really appreciate you waking up when you were supposed to be still dreaming. Thank you to all my friends for praying for me and though I have been MIA lately, I'll make bawi. Thank you guys for praying for me. Diana and Nissan who probably asked me a million times when will my examination be starting probably June. I'm not gonna name you/them all but thank you to my college friends for encouraging me and being with me all this time. We made it! Basically, after each exam, we would all gather and be depressed all together. I would gladly write some tips for board takers when it's relevant but yeah.  

Congratulations to my good friend Kim, for making it to the top 10. Actually, she's Top 2 overall so congrats, friend! I'm so proud of you!! It all payed off! :) And you really deserve it! Kahit ano pa man yan, you're still our number 1. Congratulations UST for somehow proving your worth. Ninety-five point something ain't bad considering UST sent the most number of examiners but you know it doesn't matter anymore so whatevs. I love UST. It was my training ground and I would always look back to it and be proud that I was once its student. Naks. 

That's it for this update guys. I would be taking more examinations in the future but this one is the most important one for me. Because this is the most basic and I guess this would break or make confidence and in this case, it made me somehow confident but I should really exert more effort in the future. It's really a stepping stone and I'm really happy that I was able to step up and that I am sharing it with you guys. Thank you thank you thank you. To God be the glory.

Have a Break They Say.

Have a Break They Say.
Hi guys! I have made it clear that examination days are over and I just want to share these pictures because they somehow helped me relax, study, or whatever. It helped me relax the most part. I figured that in my case, it's pretty hard to study anywhere. So if I wouldn't try, I wouldn't be able to and I'm just happy that when I tried to, it helped me relax at least. You know, maybe MED is not for me. Or maybe it is. I don't know. 

Whole Meal
BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE
I didn't really like the cheesecake and yeah I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone but the drink was kind of a delight so definitely try that one out.


I like how there's actually no one in my side of the shop but later on people came already and yeah. 

CHATIME
Delish! But then my cousin was deceived by the lady to add on some stuff and the bad part is that she decided to put those in my drink. Well I used to really like coffee jelly well in fact that's probably like my fave Starbucks drink but for some reason, I just like it if it's Starbucks. It's kind of weird but anyways. 

COUSIN
And by the way we ordered Shawarma from somewhere because we didn't expect them to have some food available and yeah.

COOL
For some reason, I think the drink we ordered doesn't go well with anything so yeah. I suggest you order it on its own. Okay so that was that and then I went again on a different day and yeah. 

COZY
FRIES AND CHOCO DRINK

I ordered the same drink as before and ordered fries with it. The fries I don't know how to feel about it but it's kind of good but at some point, it taste bland or something so I should probably give that another try and confirm. That's all of it guys! See you soon!

It's All Over

It's All Over
So after almost 2 months of preparation, actually, almost 4 years of university preparation, and a total of 1 year of internship and extensive review, it's all over. I don't want to call it judgment day but let's just say anyway that in 2 days, all of the preparations I have made all through the years will be judged. And I hope and pray that it would't be judged just by my efforts. Please multiply it by two. Or three. Please be kind!!

This September Med Tech examination is the last examination that the Examiners would give and as much as we all hoped that they would ever be so kind, we were wrong.  Can I just say that the exam questions are complicated as eff. I was like what just happened? ALL THE TIME. I don't know like I would consider it to be a miracle if I pass and Mariah Carey thought us that Miracles happen. If we believe. But I'm not so sure what miracles happened to her but the point is, I BELIEVE! And really hope for the best! I know I came prepared and that I have strong basics but the questions were no basic at all so I would not really say it's my fault if I didn't pass (knock on wood). Because it's not like I neglected the duty of reviewing and stuff. Okay that's like bshit because if I fail, that's like partly my fault but anyways. Well actually, all my fault but anyways.

It's like the worst attitude ever but I'm kind of relieved that I'm not the only one who felt that way. People cried and stuff and as someone who felt the same way (luckily I didn't cry), my inside is like clapping with joy. It's like this. We all go up, or (knock on wood), we all go down. I don't know. I guess it's human nature not to want to go through things alone. I hope we all go up! Good vibes diba!

I have talked to several people who are registered Medical Technologists now and I just want to share this. Uhm. March 2013's Top 5 Board Passer told me that she felt the same thing after the examination but you know, I  know she really worked hard for it and I don't know if I have exerted the same effort so I'm kind of nervous. She also told me to go out and have fun and as I am typing this, I'm watching over my grandmother as she is having her usual dialysis session and being surrounded by healthcare professionals is not really helping at all. 

I probably should avoid things like looking at people's pages and stuff but you know, can't really avoid it. It's like killing myself actually. I don't know. But yeah this week, we would all know the verdict of the PRC people and hopefully there would be something to celebrate. Life. That's all people! See y'all!
