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...

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!

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...

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...
