Mga Kwentong Burnout

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!

In this episode, I'll talk about why and how I started the podcast and what are my plans going forward. I'll also share what I learned as I try to create a space for myself through podcasting.

By the way, thank you for listening to my weird voice for already one year and I hope I'll make you laugh more in the future.

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.

Until next month's kwentuhan, bye!

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!

I'm really thankful that you made this podcast a part of this year and I hope 2022 gives you the redemption that you deserve. 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 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!

Listen as I try to quickly dissect burnout, impostor syndrome, and their somehow "synergistic" relationship according to my personal experience. No practical advice included, only personal takeaways and weird anecdotes. May include dog barks from our friendly kapitbahay.

Listen as I talk about how being a "panganay" has made me more tired as a person. I talk about the expectations that come with being the firstborn in our family and how I'm not meeting most of them.

Listen as I talk about the dreams that I'll never achieve and the experiences I somehow ended up with; my seven year old self would probably be disappointed, pero keri lang.
