I just passed the MTLE last month, and I'm planning to proceed next year. Been watching your vids since I was an intern po. 😊 My way of destressing after a difficult exam would always be watching KZread, sleeping or hanging out with friends. I try not to discuss about it too much. #QOTD

Ever since wala talaga akong interest sa medicine pero nung makapanood ako ng vlog ni Doktaura, bigla nalang akong nagka interest about it. So I destress myself by watching medical-related vlogs. Especially mga doctor and future doctors like Ana Camille, Doktaura, Medschool insiders as well as kevin jubbal, and Dr. Mike*mikhail varshavski"( aka the hottest doctor alive)na hindi ko alam na somehow related to Pia, i think? #QOTD

Q: How do you destress after a difficult exam? A: I watch videos that won't remind me of my exam. I eat a lot. Sometimes, I talk about it with my friends. Minsan, itutulog ko na lang.
