Mga Kwentong Burnout

I'm back!

Feel free to listen to my 17 minute episode regarding my takeaways and realizations during second year of med school, or more famously called as Learning Unit 4 (or LU4) in our institution. I'll talk about how burnout has always accompanied me throughout the year and why I love the fact that we had face to face sessions at the end of the said academic year.

Just message me at curiouscat.me/karenthepotato for suggestions and any questions that you may have!

As always, thank you for listening!

Today's episode is just a 20 minute kwentuhan about my experiences, almost two years ago, when I applied to three med schools. Walang advice, puro side comments about budget concerns and sa thoughts ko dati if makakagraduate ba ako in the first place. Mabilis ako madistract during the recording that's why I ramble a lot in this episode, but I hope you enjoy this one! As always, thank you for listening!

Happy 1st year sa ating podcast where I try to make sense of all of my experiences, as I drag you along with my weird takes and realizations in life!

Let's answer one of the most frequently asked questions from my friends and also from my curiouscat account! In this episode, I'll talk about how I came to the decision why I didn't take a gap year from graduating with a bachelor's degree to pursuing medicine. I also talk about what are the pros and cons for me if I actually took a gap year. I hope this may be of help to you if you're undergoing the same decision making process.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to send a message through curiouscat.me/karenthepotato or through my twitter account @karenthepotato

So for our first episode this 2022, let's talk about some personal anecdotes as to how I've seen romantic love during different phases of my life, starting from high school. Stories include the survivability of high school sweethearts, third wheeling, online dating, etc.

Thank you and hope you have a good valentines season! 

I crammed an episode at the last day of the year to give a very personal review of 2021. I also talk about my 2022 new year resolutions and hopefully I can commit to them!

Unfortunately, I'm back again with another episode after ghosting this podcast for a few months. I'm just blaming my workload on that and not on my inability to actually manage my time.

Let's now talk about the usual highlights of this end-of-the-year break for many Filipinos - from the congregation of relatives every family reunion to the usual noche buena scene. I also have some thoughts on what's the true of Christmas.

If you want to find out more, listen to this very concise 10 minute episode.

As always, thank you for listening!

It's been a while, but I'm back with a "self-reflection" regarding my first year in medical school.

Listen as I answer the usual questions asked by people who are relatively curious kung ano ba talagang ginawa ko sa med last academic year. This episode will feature our neighbors' loud dogs and my excessive use of the word "break" in the first few minutes of the podcast.

Apologies for the change in audio quality, because nasa Manila pa rin yung condenser mic ko (unfortunately).

You can reach me through my twitter account (@karenthepotato) or through my curiouscat account (curiouscat.me/karenthepotato). Thank you as always for listening!

Listen as I talk about the three things I've learned from living in Manila as a probinsyana. 90% rants, 10% attempt to be funny!
