wrong move

wrong move talaga!

maling maling maliiiiiii

wrong move talaga na di ako nagjob fair last time, e di sana may napasa na akong mga resume...arrgggg

mali talaga... i was asking for a divine intervention in terms of helping me figure out what to do with my life when i didn't even make a move to help..

but oh well, now i'm open to all my options

cinontact ko ung mga taong alam kong may knowledge about this... so sa mga tinanongan ko, thank you

after a whole lot of thinking, i narrowed my options to these:
  1. heart center (my opening daw dito)
  2. try medical city (since si ate mukhang dun na din, we can bring the car pag pasok)
  3. try ust (jenaaaaa, help!)
  4. try med express (bernice ang nagintroduce sa akin sa idea, at mukha naman siyang maganda..it'll also be a nice trying for the us setup
  5. masters (pde to gawin kahit nagttrabaho, of course most probably sa ust, but next sem pa to pdeng simulan..but as they said, mas magandang magmasters after a couple of years of experience)
  6. ust med- syempre aapply pa din ako, i think
  7. asmph med (how redundant.. kaya ateneo school of medicine and public health.. kung iisipin, even if the tuition fee's higher, it'll cost me a lil less because it's just around the corner..ok maybe it isn't but since si ate medical city, pde kaming sabay ulit)
  8. abroad- although this may take years of preparation, i also narrowed it down to: canada, UK and malaysia..
i already eliminated states because, di naman talga nila cinecredit ang 4 year curriculum namin and it'll be way harder than canada.australia naman, it has 5 stages + oral + practical which will amount to about P500k minimum excluding travel fee and accomodations

Canada- priority ko siguro itong country na to.. because besides the fact that it accredits our 4 year curriculum, may way talaga makapunta dito ng wala masyadong hirap, it'll take years but it will take years in any other country to establish yourself in (walang sense).

UK- The Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain.. wow that sounds so... grand..haha... i've lived in a british colony for more than 8 years, and i loved it... so more or less, acclimatized na ako sa culture nila.besides that, easier makapasok dito compared to the states, kung bakit naman kasi napakahigpit sa states... oh and i'll earn in pounds.. big wow.. 1 quid= P90.16 as of july 16, 2008

Malaysia- the ever eternal malaysia... even before i took the board exams, i already looked on the jobs they can actually offer to my profession (again no sense).. i still love this place, but it requires at least a year experience..madali lang yun gawin dito

Med- syempre di ko parin tinaggal ito sa mga options ko.. there's stil this 1/1000000 chance na pumayag sila... but di ko na din dapat to gawing priority... because, someday i'll learn how to deal with it maturely..but as for this issue:
ASMPH- i'm leaning towards this because new environment, lower student: teacher ratio and cheaper for me. i figured even if it were a new school, i don't think ateneo would dare venture their reputable name if they would put incompetent professors, right? and i think if i were in their administration, for me to be a competent school, i would definitely invest on good teachers/doctors... and what's good with this school (i think/ observed) they don't leave their students hanging without a job.
UST- no need for acclimitization again, my friends who i think can help me are there and the old dorm can again help me, maraming med students dun eh, so I can ask for their advice, borrow stuff, blah blah.. what else? tried and tested? although medyo malaki ang student:teacher ratio

still want want want want med.. oh and this time, mom ko ang nagsuggest to think about ASMPH

Medexpress- sounds like they have a good offer according to how bernice briefed me the other day. as i said, american set-up so i can practice myself to that...downside is, di pa sanay ang mga pinoy sa ganun, so i guess less costumerS?

UST Hospital-although feeling ko walang opening, i'd like to put this in my choices, kasi i had my major internship there, medyo memorize ko pa ung space and again, just a train away. pinapatanong ko lang kay jena sa mom niya kung me opening, she'll give the go signal

Medical City- sana pwede pa, kung hindi:

Heart Center- yeahhhh, i'm pretty sure dito meron! oh and what's good with this hospital is specialized government siya...good for my resume

Masters- sabi nga ni ching, it'll cost less, and advantage for the canadian visa.. what's wrong with this is it'll take me more or less 2 years before i'll be confident to enroll in a class.

so there, choices. i've decided to not be selfish and share the pros and cons i came up with so i could help those who are also as confused on the future as i am..

i came from a family of planners, and my grandfather would seriously scold me if i'd come to him:
  1. without foresight- this includes thinking about not only next month, but for the next 5-10 years.. di ka nga naman mabubuhay kung ang iisipin mo lang ay next month diba? well, i won't. i just want to be secure that by the time i'm 25 (without med) or 28 (with med), i'll be earning, self-sufficient, self-supporting and out of this house. AND
  2. i'm still this thin..maaannnnnn, what do i have to do to have a little fat in me??? kain tulog na nga lang ginagwa ko eh... i eat 5 times a day, kanin un haaa

see, who said i was slugging around like a little leach... probably one of the reasons why i don't go online anymore, i want to think on my own for a while, catch news from those who've already joined the workforce. so there.. draw lots nalang siguro..or toss coin..hahahaha

now i just have to decide kung draw lots or toss coin =P
