Good Afternoon, Dr. Lumicao.

I am John Mertz F. Fernandez, you may call me Mertz. I’m feeling overwhelmed right now due to the upcoming Finals, but I am keeping myself motivated and at ease knowing that I came this far, and I won’t be stopping anytime soon.

Hello, doc! My name is Lorenzo Raphael Aramil, but you may call me "Enzo" for short.

It's not easy to put into words how I've been feeling the past year. It's a mixture of anxiety and excitement. Anxious of what lies ahead but also excited to head towards it. A motto I've been telling myself to ease my anxiety is "baby steps to giant strides". Those words are what I live by in year level 3. These baby steps, or the lessons I learn this year, will turn into giant strides that will turn me into the future physician I'm trying to be.

Hi Dr. Lumicao! I am Mervin Baracoso, you can call me Mervin! Right now I’m feeling slightly aloof and currently going with the flow wherever it may take me. I also feel the immense pressure slowly getting to me as I approach the finish line of medical school. But regardless, I feel excited for the experiences that await me in the near future. A current motto that I’ve been living by this school year would be the “You can rest when you’re dead” it’s a little dark but its gotten me through some tough times when I think I’m incapable of accomplishing something simply because i’m tired. Being a yl3 student has been physically draining on my part but I always remember that everything i’m going through in medical school is a privilege that many only dream of, and so I should make the most of it. With that in mind, I continue to face each day with resilience and gratitude, knowing that every challenge brings me one step closer to the physician I aspire to become.

Hello po, Dr. Lumicao! I am Lance Luna, and you may call me "Lance." Currently, I think I am in a state of balance or neutrality as I do not feel as stressed as I did in the past few months, yet at the same time I do not feel particularly happy or excited. Recently, my only consistent thought is to just get through every day that comes, and, so far, it has been working well for me. The words I have been living by since college still apply today, "Let resilience take you to places where fear won't." With the uncertainties that medical school and life itself brings, I only have courage and resilience to rely on to make it through.

Hello, doc! This is Carissa Nakamura; you can call me Ca’. Life for me lately has been eventful.

Everything’s just occurring all at once, and it's crazy how life unfolds right before my eyes. Regardless of what life throws at me, I never fail to keep a heart of gratitude.

Had it not been for the adversaries I went through the past few months; I wouldn’t be able to meet the strongest version of Carissa. I've seen her filled with strength as she faced life headstrong.

And so, if there’s but one thing that life has taught me, it is to not let your fear cause you to miss out on things that your future self would thank you for. No matter how painful life gets, and even messy at times, know that these are the avenue in finding the pieces of yourself.

And so, I would like to thank the version of Carissa in this picture for picking herself up time and again. The past and future version of myself would be beyond grateful to the person I am choosing to be, today.

I will always hold onto my Lord’s promise, that He has a lotttt of great things in store for me and they’re just a little further down the road. (Isaiah 55:8-9) In His time, all of my tears will turn into testimonies.

Hi! I am Russelle Roeae Cagoco, also known as the person who is fashionably late in submitting this Padlet. How am I feeling now? Embarrassed, of course, since I have managed to overlook every announcement regarding this, and being late is not my proudest moment. But if life has taught me anything, it's that some things are the way they are and there is no use crying over spilled milk. The best thing to do? Own up to the mistake, learn from it, and keep it-is-what-it-is-ing your way through life.

Mistakes made? It is what it is. Learn. Improve. Move forward.

Regrets in life? It is what it is. Take the lesson, then let go.

Wrong decisions? It is what it is. Make the best out of it.

Anxious about a missed deadline? Apologize, beg for mercy (doc pls), then It is what it is.

Don't get me wrong, it is what it is should never be an excuse to stay the same. The goal? Always be better than the person you were yesterday. It’s time to retire from my Olympic career in procrastination and start winning at self-improvement instead!

Hello doc! I am Kristine Joy Casimiro, but you can call me "Tin". Right now, I’m feeling enthusiastic and hopeful. Medical school has definitely been a rollercoaster of highs and lows—there have been moments of doubt and struggle. But despite the tough days, I’m learning to appreciate the process, knowing that each challenge I overcome brings me closer to becoming the kind of doctor I aspire to be.

As for my motto/principle, I think it would be "You don't have to be great when you begin, but you must begin if you want to be great." reminds me that every journey starts with a single step. It’s okay to start small or imperfect—what matters is having the courage to begin. With persistence and effort, greatness will follow. :))

Hello doc! I'm Miguel Francisco S. Juangco and you can call me Migs, Miggy or Miguel. Right now I feel a bit anxious and overwhelmed but I just keep reminding myself that I already got this far. This journey has been an intense one, and for this semester; even though I feel a pang of anxiety, I am still grateful and hopeful because each waking day is a new chance and opportunity for me to grow and learn. What keeps me going as well, is this quote that I read online: "You're struggling today because your future self has already achieved the dreams you've been dreaming of" and one from a friend: "what is meant for you will not pass you by"

Hi po doc! I am Clarisse Ann Manding. My friends call me “Clar”. Right now I just feel very… thankful, for a lot of things. I feel like I have failed a lot more in med school than I have in my entire life that it taught me to look at the brighter side and just be thankful for the little things. Sabi nga po ni Ruffa Mae, “after all the darkness, there is brightness”. 😌 Currently the motto I have been living by this YL3 is “it’s not over until it’s over” I will continue to do my best and not let fear and worry take away my ability to focus on today. And I, thank you! 😊

Hello doc! Im Andrei Luis P. Gamit, and you can call me Andrei. At the moment, I feel cool, calm, and somewhat collected-ish because I do have a few backlogs to attend to.

Hi Doc! I’m Stracy Joy Matalicia, but you can call me Stracy. I’m currently on this wild, unpredictable, and sometimes sleep-deprived journey to becoming a doctor!

Life throws its fair share of challenges, but I see them as stepping stones rather than roadblocks. Every hurdle just makes me more hopeful, more motivated, and more determined to become the person I aspire to be.

As Walt Disney once said, ‘All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.’ And that’s exactly what I’m doing, chasing my dreams. One exam at a time. :)

Hello, doc! I’m Jenica. My friends call me by my name but I would be really happy to be called Jen. Right now, I feel a mix of exhaustion and excitement. Clinical rotations are intense, and some days I feel like I know nothing, but there are also moments when things start to click, and it reminds me why I chose this path. It’s a rollercoaster, some days are overwhelming, but every patient encounter teaches me something new. A motto/principle that I live by as a medical student is “Progress, not perfection”. I remind myself that I am here to learn, not to be perfect. Every mistake is a lesson, and every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Medicine is a lifelong journey, and right now, my job is to keep improving, one step at a time.

Hello Doc! I'm Mark Jared Dela Cruz, but you can call me Jared! Right this moment, I just want to go with the flow. I cannot fight what might happen, but I can direct what can happen.

The motto I always stick by is, "Trust the Process". Even if everything feels so unclear and challenging, just trust yourself and a path will be open for you. Have faith in the journey but do not forget that there is fun in the journey!

Good day, Doc Paulo!

My name is Meryl Antoinette Bolos. As the year starts, it has been very much a rollercoaster ride for me. As a student leader, it was a challenge balancing academics with org responsibilities. Nonetheless, it is through passion that we are able to make full of this life.

Wishing it were easier takes away the essence of what makes the journey meaningful. Hoping for ease diminishes our growth. After all, we learn not just from our breakthroughs, but from our breakdowns as well.

hello, doc! I am Marie Chriselle Tangonan, but I am usually called "Sol" by my classmates. A motto or a principle that I have is to take things one step at a time, little by little, not rushing things as everybody has their own phase in life. I am thankful that I have come this far in my journey on becoming a physician, and while I am scared, I am also excited about the new challenges I have yet to face.

Hi, doc! I'm Ollie—short for, yes, you guessed it right—Marjorie. Marjorie Tan, to be exact. I don’t carry a pocketful of life mottos, but there’s a phrase that’s always fascinated me: “What” and “if” are two words as non-threatening as words can be. But put them together side by side, and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life. It’s my daily reminder that life’s most profound regrets often stem from the things left undone, the risks not taken. As this second semester starts to overwhelm us, it’s also my daily reminder that even the steps lead to uncertainty, I have to try my best in every step I take, drawing comfort from the fact that behind every bold move is God’s steady hand, gracing and guiding me all the way.

Hello, Doc! I’m Alyssa Michaela E. Santiago. At this point, I can’t believe that clerkship is already one sem away, and it makes me feel motivated and hopeful. Also, despite how hard this journey gets, I always remind myself that it’s okay to feel disappointed and rest from time to time, but never give up. :) And as the classic saying goes, “Do your best and God will do the rest! ”

Hello, Doc! I am Shainna A. Cosa, but my friends call me "Chia". As of the moment, I feel a mix of immense joy and nervousness at the same time. I'm overjoyed because I've come such a long way, and I never imagined I would still be doing this after enduring the first 2 years in medical school. At the same time, as I endure, I also feel anxious if I still have the strength to finish the journey I started. Regardless, I have always believed that I am a fighter. I don't give up easily, and even in moments when I feel like I can't go on, I know that God will lift me up, and I hold on firmly to my faith in Him.

Perseverance and faith go hand in hand — is what I believe to be the principle that I live by. Trust in God's plan, and keep pushing forward with hope and determination through the rough path ahead of me. Every challenge has a purpose, and even when things seem impossible, God's grace and my own resilience will see me through.

Hello, Doc! I am Romina Francesca Barrion, but my friends call me "Romi." I am feeling quite thrilled and geared up as another year in med school has jumpstarted! Four months from now, we'll be in clerkship, and I couldn't be more excited about it. As the Latin phrase says: Aut inveniam viam, aut faciam—I shall either find a way or make one. I do not wait for the perfect path or opportunity; I create one when none exists. I do not back down and wait for solutions to appear; instead, I carve new paths, turn setbacks into lessons, and transform challenges into stepping stones toward success. For me, limits are merely a starting point, and every choice I make is a chance for a significant and transformative breakthrough waiting to happen.

My motto is, 'Kapag walang exam, umuwi ng Bulacan, because I’m from bulacan, not bulacan’t.’ Going home helps me recharge. Striking a balance between academics and life outside medical school is my way of preserving my sanity and avoiding burnout.

Right now, I feel incredibly happy and grateful for the journey I’m on, knowing that everything is part of a bigger plan. My guiding principle in life is the verse Jeremiah 29:11 from the Bible: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” This verse inspires me to trust that the best is yet to come.

Hi Doc! I am Maxine Agatha M. Bañares, but my friends call me "max". At this point, I’m grateful for the life I’m living, embracing both the joy and the challenges. I’ve learned to sit with my emotions, letting them flow without resistance, and allowing each feeling to shape my growth. My current principle in YL3 is to commit fully to the goals I’ve set, showing up consistently each day. I strive to be 1% better every day rather than doing nothing, knowing that small steps forward are far more valuable than inaction. And the quote I’ve held for years is the classic: 'Do your best, and God will do the rest.

Hi Doc! I'm Elaine Bianca B. Ramos. Right now, I’m feeling motivated but also conscious of the challenges that lie ahead. I am currently feeling driven and resolved to persevere and take advantage of every educational opportunity. As a medical student and future physician, I live by the words of Gandhi, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others". This quote helps me to develop empathy and compassion, and allows me to discover my own identity and purpose by focusing on others and letting go of self interest.

Good day, Dr. Lumicao! I'm Christian Elijah A. Caparas and you can call me "Cj". Currently, I feel grateful yet humbled as I continue to study in Med School. It reminded me that I have a lot of things to learn and that makes me tired. Thinking about my mother's sacrifice and late father's happiness, pushes me to finish this as soon as possible, especially at their old age.

With that said, the principle I currently live by in YL3 is "Honor the sacrifices, embrace the journey". Through this, I push myself further.

I look forward to learning with all of you in this course.

Through this verse, I am reminded that God will never leave me nor forsake me.
