My MTLEX Drama 2013

My MTLEX Drama 2013






It's so crazy that it's been over 2 years since I passed the MTLEX. People after us are hella lucky because you guys were given an extra week or two to cram for the exam. My batch took it at the last day of August, imagine! Anyways, I honestly don't remember much. I remember though that I had an upset stomach coming in the examination room. Like, we were actually advised to bring Loperamide, did that, took it, but still. I guess it has something to do with me being nervous and all that. I guess I was a little bit too nervous to be honest. But guess what? Whatever time you're reading this, at some point, you're gonna make it. 












Picture above is a shot from my Victory Party. My cousin and my high school friends which I was always making kulit to pray for me to pass. Anyways, point of this blog post is to tell all the examiners that it's gonna be alright. You'll doubt yourself after the exams, yes, but you know, shake it all off. And believe me when I say this, there's nothing you can do about it now. Kahit mag recall ka pa ng sangkatutak, hindi na mapapalitan yung mga nasagot mo na sa exam kaya don't stress! Chill! Don't make it too hard for youself, you know. 4 days nalang sana RMT nadin kayo so wait lang. FYI I actually didn't expect to pass but I did pass so maybe that's gonna be your luck as well. If not, I guess you can try again. And do better! 










Claim the victory they say. If you fail, don't be too heartbroken, 2 more tries. Don't rush! Take it all in. Review harder. Practice what you preach! But if all else fails, you know, I believe that somehow it's true what they say that if it's not for you, then you just have to let it go. You move on from there. That's all!

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.

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!

Bonne Chance

Bonne Chance

Hola guys! I can't believe it's already August! And with that being said, Imma say it ahead now. I might not blog as much this month because it's like less than a month remaining before the board exam and I'm like panicking big time. I constructed my schedule and hopefully I would be able to follow that. I don't have much break but I hope to find time to update you with my life. Oh life. I hope this month would be so  productive so that my MTLE would turn out fantabulous (that's a word?).

I hope you guys have a good month and I hope you guys make the most out of it as well. I seriously envy those who are still on break and just do whatever they want to do. Or like, not do whatever they don't want to do (lazy ass) LOL. I'll see you guys once in a while. Maybe like, twice. And yeah I'll give you guys like short updates of what's happening in my life. You know, it's actually my fault that I didn't study earlier and now I'm like trying to squeeze 10 of my college courses in a month. Whut? It can be done! I got this. Well it's all good. Remember! It's faith, trust, and a little bit of Pixie Dust! Anyway, thanks! :)

June the Beautiful

June the Beautiful

I just want to share you guys this. Nothing too fancy but still beautiful. I have a question for you guys. Am I the only one who thinks that this year is going by too fast? I mean, it's June already. That's like 6/12 already. 


Hi guys. I think I haven't said hi to you guys at all. OMG I'm so mean! Anyways, how's June treating you so far? Me, you ask? I've started with my licensure review awhile ago. So far, so good. Actually, no proper lecture yet. What happened today was kind of awesome though. The speaker kind of inspired us to aim high and that to believe in ourselves and stuff like that which always have a place in my mind. And in my heart. There's just no room for failure right now, you know. 


More of the not so awesome part of today, awhile ago, we had like a pre-test to test our stock knowledge regarding the board subjects and I was just like, what the eff? DUMBFOUNDED. I have been told that there would be a 200 item test and I actually reviewed a little bit but I  didn't really concentrate and I probably didn't take that seriously but I will surely do my best next time. My non existent stock knowledge was put into as test. LOL. I have no choice. I will do better next time! :D I enrolled there so I could have a better look at the possible questions and to have a guide, sort of. Because there's no denying it guys! I'm kind of lost. LOL. Seriously though.

NEVER TOO LATE TO GREET YOU GUYS! :)
Anyways, that's Hashi. She decided to follow me on my way up few days back and she was like, feeling my bed and stuff. Ain't she cute? She's like the sweetest! :) So adorbs! I can't even. She peed nearby though. But as long as it's not in the bed, we're good.

MTLEX! :)

MTLEX! :)

I want to congratulate all of my friends who passed the MTLEX. My UST, MCU, and JRMMC colleagues, I know some of you have been complaining how the result is two days late but hey, you guys passed and I'm sure it's worth all the wait. It really makes me proud of you guys. I know you've all worked so hard and sacrificed a lot for this. Well except those who didn't really study because they're flawlessly intelligent. Or lucky. Well the good thing is, you're all an RMT now and that's just awesome. MD na next! :) I remember one of my friends turned down my "Hey! Let's watch Les Mis." offer. Oh well. And most of them were really out of sight during their review. Can I do that? To be honest, I felt a little amount of pressure. But whatever.

I just want to take this opportunity to CONGRATULATE my co-intern/post mate/ice cream mate/friend for making it to the top 10 list of the MTLEX passers.



I feel like a proud mama. 

It's gonna be our turn this coming September or August is it? And hopefully we'd be able to celebrate just as much as you guys did. 

To those who didn't pass, it's not the end of everything. People know that the exam is hard that's why they allowed medical technologist to take the exam 3 times max before the refresher course. And I don't think there's anyone who's so complacent about the MTLEX result. Almost everyone I know is like, waiting. If you didn't make it this time, you have time to improve! Time to ace! It's really not the same for everyone. Maybe you didn't study enough. Maybe you just studied the wrong thing (which I always do) or maybe it's not yet for you. But it's okay. Don't lose hope. My father once told me that if you see even just a little hope, work on that hope, and you'll succeed. 

And to inspire us all, here are some of the snippets our new MEDICAL TECHNOLOGISTS have to say.
  • I love my mama and my dad so much and I know that this new achievement of mine is for them, i give it back to them for being the most dedicated and the most hardworking parents that I know. 
  • I'm a success today because I have friends and family who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let them down.
  • Thank God for all the Glory. Tsaka sa MCU, MCU friends, ACTS at sa lahat ng nakatulong :) So happy :)
Well if I would be ranked TOP 5, I would be happy too. Haha that's all guys! Again, congratulations RMTs. :) Good job! Good vibes.
