“TRUST THE PROCESS”

I’ve often heard this line being uttered by clinicians in the hallway or in the locker room:
“Trust the process lang, bhai!” 🥹

Sometimes, it is coming from a friend reassuring you.

Other times, and I know this from experience, it’s something you quietly tell yourself after a day that didn’t go as planned.

There will be days when you feel stuck. Days when the "repeat" becomes exhausting, the failures become discouraging, and you begin to question:
"para ba gyud ni sa ako?" (Is this really for me?)

But in those moments, never lose sight of the goal.

The goal was never simply to finish.

The goal is to finish well!

So hold on to the promise that one day you will finish well AND FINISH STRONG! You just have to keep on showing up and KEEP ON MOVING FORWARD!

Nobody said life (in the clinics) would be easy.

On a regular basis, you'll encounter rough seas and stormy paths along the way. But at the end of the day, you’ll learn to find your rhythm, ride the waves, and simply go with the tide! 🌊

Dr. Kat Chloe Mascardo has been a great inspiration to me ever since undergrad. I have always admired her resilience and grit in pursuing this profession. I will always be an admirer of who you have become and will always look up to you, Ate Kat!

Check out her recently published paper here! 🫡 https://aap.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/cap.70095

Never doubt your power to inspire others! ✨️

With the recent happenings involving our youth, I can't help but reflect on what the future holds for our next generation. But I genuinely believe that there's still hope.

One of the most sensible conversations I had these past few weeks was with this little boy named Ethan.

He asked me about things I only ask during my case discussions in school and obviously not with small kids.

The conversation spanned from practical dentistry (the video in the comment section) to workforce to epigenetics!

He asked about why am I a girl but a doctor and he talked about his notion of the nursing profession being exlusive for girls and doctors being only for boys.

And so I have explained that we and our society, our ancestors' way of life and as well as their society back then, made us think the way we think today. And that's why in his early mind, that is what he percieves.

He even asked me if he can remove the calcular deposits on the tooth surface with his finger, hence the tell show do video in the comment section. 😇

I am truly in awe of the parents who try their very best in shaping the curious minds of these kids! 🙏🙌💪 Let's go parents!!! 🫶🤍

You are entrusted with the role of molding not just your kids' future but the future of our society as well.

Good job Mommy Gel and Daddy Eirol! You are raising a thinker in Ethan and truly doing a favor for the society!

They say that it takes a village to raise a child and that saying should make us all reflect of our roles in our youth and their future.

What should you do now? 🧐🤔

Sometimes, the greatest thing to do is to ASK QUESTIONS!

It is one of the greatest honors of my life to have crossed paths with the living legend that is Dr. Aurelio Ramos and to have had the privilege of being mentored and guided under his tutelage. I will forever bring with me his 'teachings about teaching' and will always remember these words of him: "Lousy minds talk about gossip, but great minds talk about ideas."

Just golden! ✨️

I am hoping these words will help Studentistas in their journey towards the finish line! 💪💯

I never thought that I will ever be able to share the words my father kept on telling me all these years about Dentistry.

I’ve always dreamed of giving a TEDTalk, and I think this might be the closest I’ll get to doing it...at least for now. Haha!

More to come! Stay tuned. 🙏 ✨️
