Promoted 2nd Year Medicine

Isang Linggo na ang lumipas mula nagsimula ang pasukan for school year 2014-2015.
Di ko parin makalimutan yung mga panahong para kang bibitayin dahil sa paghihintay
ng result kung ikaw ba ay promoted to 2nd year na o magreremedial ka.

Sa unang pasukan palang noong 1st year Medstudent ako, Tinatak ko na sa isip ko na
ayoko magremedials syempre mas lalo na bumagsak.

 ► Unang una mahal ang bayad sa remedials,

 ► Pangalawa nakakahiya sa magulang ko na nagpaparal sakin sa mundo ng medisina. To think na dapat nagwowork na nga ako dapat at tumutulong sa mga gastuhin sa bahay, pero heto at pinayagan ako magtuloy ng medisina.

► Pangatlo, Sayang naman kung magreremedials ako, dahil gusto ko sana magipon para sa susunod na pasukan.

► Pang-apat, Mahirap mag remedials, dahil imbis na nagpapakasarap ka at nagbabakasyon, heto ka at nagsusunog parin ng kilay buong summer.

► Panglima, baka di na ko maka enroll sa susunod na pasukan, dahil imbis na ipang eenroll ko yung mga pinang remedials ko, wala na.. kasi nabayad na for remedials.

Hindi ko alam pero feeling ko mas nakakakaba pa yung maghintay ng result for promotion compare sa result ng board exam. Siguro dala na rin ng sobrang mahal kasi ang tuition fee ng Medicine. at Magkano lang naman kasi yung bayad for board. Syempre kasama na din dun yung mga nageexpect sayo na mga kapamilya mo, at ayaw mong madisappoint sila sayo.

Yung moment na yun kasi.

Thanks to ate Doreen Felomino sa pag text sakin ng result na promoted ako for 2nd year :)
at last all my hardship, sleepless nights, lahat lahat ay napawi ng bigla. Akala ko talaga sasabit ako.
Siyempre salamat din sa taas na hindi ako pinabayaan. Alam ko namang ginawa ko yung best ko kaya lahat ng yun ipinaubaya ko nalang sa kanya. Maraming salamat po.

Ngayong 2nd year Proper Medicine Student na ko. Mas Double yung effort dapat.
Mas dapat magsikap. at magaral ng mabuti. Bawal ang petiks.
salamat sa isa pang pagkakataon at ipinapangako ko na hindi ko ito masasayang.
na worth it lahat ng hirap at pagpapakapagod natin lahat.

I will not stop dreaming to become a Doctor.
This is all I want and I will do anything to fulfill this tremedously hardships on
my life. And I know someday you will be proud of me.

soon to be John Conrad Bornillo, MD

Kung gugustuhin niyang makapasa, sigurado yun na gagawa to ng paraan para makapasa.

Think Positive:Walang Aayaw

The Power of the Positive Inner Voice (Re-blog)

from: http://drnjbmd.wordpress.com/

Every year, many of my students start a new semester with the aim of changing anything that will make them more successful with their upcoming coursework. If there is one thing that you can change in the very next instant that will make the greatest difference in your performance, it can be that “inner voice” that tells you, “you are not good enough” or “this is a hard subject that I can’t do well in” or “I am not going be able to get all of this work done”.

It seems to be much easier to have an inner voice that is negative rather than positive. Many people are quick to employ the negative rather than the positive because the negative seems to be more believable. Most people are taught that a positive inner voice is the same as “patting your back” for non-achievement but the truth is that a positive inner voice is more about self-confidence than false self-aggrandizement. It is the confidence that one has to master in order to keep moving in a positive direction with any long-term goal. One has to believe that you will reach your goal in a series of small steps toward it on a daily basis.

Since you have total control over your “inner voice”, you can change anything that is negative such as “you are not good enough” to the positive such as “you are as good as anyone else” or make the change from “this is a hard subject that I can’t do well in” to “this may be a challenge but I will have small victories every day and get help the moment I need it”. In short, you can decide in the very next second that you will not listen to the voice that tells you what you “can’t accomplish” and replace that voice with one that tells you “what you have accomplished” and how you will keep accomplishing to meet any challenges head on.

Yes, students will fail exams and quizzes but learning from those failures will help make failing the complete course more remote. If you have never failed at anything in your life, you haven’t actually been tested. People who are untested do not develop the skills to learn from their failures and put them behind so that they can keep moving forward. If you keep spending precious time telling yourself what you “can’t accomplish” because of one set back, then you are likely to fulfill that negative inner voice that seems to be so tempting.

You can control how you react to a grade on a test or quiz. You can look at what you missed and make a careful assessment of what you need to work on so that you don’t keep making the same errors and master the material in a different manner. If you are only focused on the numerical score and not on mastery, you are likely to have difficulty integrating concepts and keeping concepts in your long-term memory (your goal for professional practice).

As I have stated many times on this blog, there has never been a course of study developed by one human being that another human being cannot master. Mastery of your studies does not take any super-human mental feats or membership in high-IQ societies but does take diligent and disciplined study for efficiency. If you use large amounts of time worrying about the rigor or the amount of material that you must master, you lose a great amount of efficiency. In the long run, your learning time for tasks and concepts becomes longer rather than shorter.

For example, as a junior surgical resident, I had to master many surgical procedures. If I had made a list of all of the procedures and cases that needed to be mastered, I would have been overwhelmed at the first case. Instead, I took each case as it came and worked on the fine points after I had mastered the major points. In short, by “divide and conquer”, I was able to master my procedures. I didn’t have the luxury to “think” about non-mastery as I ticked off things as they came under my review.

In residency, there is no person or class that pushes one to undertake daily reading and study. As the hours grow longer, it becomes easy to get behind unless one is vigilant. I set a goal of a minimum of 30 minutes of journal reading and 30 minutes of textbook reading per night with 2 hours on each Saturday/Sunday. I told myself, that I could get my goal accomplished and would get my reading goal accomplished. Like brushing my teeth, I quickly embraced my reading “habit” which meant that I was never behind when review for our yearly in-training exams came around. On same days, I did more because the habit made the task easier and more efficient.

During my residency research years, my reading schedule time tripled during the weekdays and was cut in half on the weekends because my time schedules changed drastically. When I went back to clinical work, it was difficult to stop reading and study because the habit had become so ingrained. I was amazed at the exponential learning that my solid reading schedule had afforded me during those research years. My reading and study efficiency had increased exponentially during this time which was the same exponential reading and study efficiency increase that I had experienced when I started medical school. In short, anything that becomes a habit becomes more ingrained/grooved and more efficient.

One can work on increasing confidence and from that one step, increase efficiency in almost any area of life that needs improvement. This improvement is invariably the result of one good habit leading to improvement in other aspects of one’s life. Just as when one starts a daily work-out program (can start with as little as 10 minutes per day), as the habit grows and becomes honed, other aspects of one’s life such as eating healthy and sleeping better start to improve.

What works for physical fitness can also work for mental fitness too. It always follows that people who are generally physically fit will experience less stress and more efficiency in their mental tasks. There have been plenty of scientific studies that show overall improvement in mood and health with increased physical conditioning. If you add mental conditioning in the form of adherence to a daily positive mantra, you are likely to see improvement in all aspects of your life too.You can start with one small change and keep reinforcing that small positive change on a regular basis. It only takes a change in the very next instant to embrace the positive and confidence that you can keep going which will keep you on the right track.

I'm a MedStudent

OFFICIALLY ENROLLED

Finally, Naka-enrol na din sa wakas. Certified Medicine Student at Our Lady of Fatima University Valenzuela main campus. Na-excite ako bigla. Need to get more serious than before. kung dati puro petiks lang eh ngayon dapat mas seryoso. Bihira lang ang mga ganitong pagkakataon kaya dapat seryosohin ko to. Ilan lang ako sa mga batang maswerte na makakapagaral ng Medicine may iba na gusto mag Med pero hindi kaya. Hindi ko kelangan maging petiks ngayong med student na ko. Kung gaano ako sa seryoso sa mahal ko  ganun din ako dapat ka seryoso sa magiging future career ko balang araw.

Mahal daw. . kamusta naman yun maka Bold and Italicized pa   asheshe..
alam na niya kung sino siya. Ayee >.<

SCHOLARSHIP

Hindi ako matalino. Simpleng tao lang at estudyante. Pero kung gugustuhin ko naman eh wala namang imposible eh. Kelangan lang talaga ng disiplina sa sarili at yan ang wala saken. Time management ba kamo. Haaay naku bagsak ako pagdating sa ganyan, kaya dapat Matuto talaga ako niyan. Kailangan ko kasi talaga makapasok at maging scholar dahil kahit maliit na percentage lang na discount eh malaking ginhawa na rin kila erpat at ermat yun. Hindi lang naman ako ang nagaaral samin eh. Nandyan yung incoming first year college na kapatid ko, sang 3rd High at isang 1st Grade. So kailangan ko talaga nun para maka menos sa bayaran kahit papano.

Ngayon na ito na talaga ang pangarap ko. Wala na kong ibang mahihiling pa kundi ang matapos ko ito ng walang problema. Ito ang bubuhay sakin at sa magiging pamilya ko balang araw.

I am proud to say that I'm a Medicine Student.

What to do next? : Bachelor Life

I already did your part. Oo natapos ko na lahat, pero panu naman yung mga pangarap ko sa buhay. Graduating ako ng High School noong mga panahon na yun, tandang tanda ko pa ang sinabi ko sa parents ko. "Ma, Pa gusto ko po mag doctor" wala naman silang tutol dun in fact natuwa pa sila sa pangarap ko sa buhay. Ang sabi pa nila noon na pagtiya-tiyagaan na daw nila na makatapos ako ng medicine. Ako naman tuwang-tuwa din, sa totoo lang sabik na sabik na kong mag college nun.

I took up Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, kasi sabi nila maganda raw ang course na yun para sa pre-med ng medicine. Ako naman ok lang basta ang importante makapag medicine ako. Sa umpisa ng Medtech ok pa naman di pa napapansin ang hirap tsaka ok naman yung mga kaklase ko. Sa totoo lang tulungan kami in terms of academics oo minsan may mga pandarayang nangyayari, nandiyan yung kopyahan, minsan naman doktoran ng mga sagot. Natatawa na nga lang ako pag nababanggit ng professor namin na. "Oh yung mga nangdodoktor ng sagot diyan ah! Di pa kayo doktor kaya ayusin niyo lang!" napapailing at napapangisi nalang ako. Di naman kasi mawawala yun,  for sure kahit saan namang colleges and universities meron mga ganun,

NMAT

Well, still kinakabahan sa magiging resulta ng April 2013 NMAT exam. Kung ano man ang score ko tanggap ko na yun haha! seriously di talaga ako nakapag review ng maayos, at wala akong dapat sisihin kundi sarili ko kaya heto ako hanap hanap ng Medicine School na hindi nagrerequired masyado ng nmat percentage :) . Sabi nila 15 days daw ilalabas na ang result sa internet pero almost 15 days na ang nakalipas wala pa rin :( . Sobrang nag wo-worry na talaga haha! kasi kasi kasi! naman eh.

Kung ano man ang lumabas sa result ng NMAT life still go on. Kailangan ipagpatuloy ang pangarap sa buhay. Hooray! haha! pampa cheer-up sa sarili hehe. Oh by the way just want to share this little conversation in my twitter.
