upcat review tips pls : (( ⁠— from cc

More insights and hanash after the photo (๑･̑◡･̑๑)

Background

📝• Yung batch ko sa review center started the review on June 2019. UPCAT was on October 2019 pero starting August may pasok na so I wasnt rly spending lots of my time studying for the UPCAT.

📝• I only took the CETs for UP and DLSU-D and accountancy ang first choice ko for both campuses. Now you might wonder, bakit hindi business related ang 2nd choice ko (in UPD)? KASI GUSTO KO MAG-ARAL NG NIHONGO HAHAHA SHET (yes, pwede ka mamili ng asian language na aaralin in linguistics. altho limited choices, may japanese! 🤩 + as of 2020, UP lang ang nagooffer ng Undergraduate program for linguistics in the PH).

Make sure to pick courses that you WANT to study coz hindi ka sure kung anong course choice yung maipapasa mo. Sobrang tempting kasi mag-aral sa UP pag UPCAT passer ka, even if hindi first course choice. Bro, nung una talaga sabi ko kung hindi accounting wag nalang and I was all set to study accounting in DLSU-D,,, but—

UP offers free and top quality college education in the PH,,, knowing that I had a sure ticket to enter the uni? I HAD to. 😩

UPCAT has 4 subtests (based on UPCAT 2019)

Language Proficiency (120 items)

Science (60 items)

Math (60 items; alloted with the most time)

Reading Comprehension (120 items)

Math

✏️ Fun? Fact: Nasa bandang dulo ng math subtest yung madadaling questions (mean, median, mode, average, etc.) so wrong move ako kasi di ako nagskip agad :( dont make the same mistakes that i did!

📝• i reALLY tried hard to study math,,, pero in the end hindi ko pa din talaga nagets ng tuluyan yung mga parts abt algebra, trigo etc. resulta, nasa 20+ over 60 questions lang nasagutan ko sa math subtest ng upcat (tapos may mga hula pa don. taena no? buti pumasa pa ko?)

(sighs, marami pa yan)

Tapos wala sa kalahati nasagutan ko sa math in upcat? very disappointing xD so kung sa tingin mo bobo ka sa math, ako din...nag-aral talaga ako sa lagay na yan (and mind you, i LIKE math lol) pero kay bobo ko pa din r.i.p.

Science

📝• Sinukuan ko na chem at physics (dasal nalang yon). nagfocus ako sa general science at konting biology kasi yun yung nagegets ko, and nasa 50 over 60 naman yung nasagutan at “educated guess” ko sa science (luckily! maraming gen sci 🤩)

Reading Comprehension

📝• Easiest subtest imo kasi wala namang formula or concepts na kailangan aralin para mahanap yung sagot,,, the answers are in the text, pagalingan at pabilisan lang humanap.

I’ve always been fond of reading fiction (as in many fics that are 200k words, slow burn, etc) so I’m not slow when it comes to reading. There’s an advice na basahin daw muna yung questions and theN scan the text for answers,,, pero during the UPCAT binasa ko muna yung texts and I did fine.

It all depends on what works for you. Medyo hirap ako na mag quicc read para hanapin yung parts na kailangan para sa sagot so binasa ko nalang lahat. Pero advisable lang yun kung confident ka sa reading speed mo (ofc, reading with understanding. it’s reading compre for a reason hahaha).

Madali pati humula dito xD

Language Proficiency

📝• I mostly reviewed subject verb agreement tapos yung Filipino part (sux pero mas nadadalian talaga ko sa English). I’m not great but I’m not bad with grammar so mej chill ako dito. If you read a lot (like me), most likely hindi ka masyado magsstruggle sa pag-aaral + sagot dito.

Nireview ko mga tropa ko sa language proficiency at sila naman, nireview ako sa math at sci.

it’s good to have study buddies para mamotivate niyo yung isa’t-isa, and help each other with subjects that you find difficult!

additional notes:

tbh wala akong balak ipush yung UP, i just wanted to take the upcat kasi mataas grades ko since elem so i wanted to see if keri ba ng utak ko makapasok sa ‘top uni in the PH’ ,,, and what do u know? hahaha.

in the end, it really boils down to studying and working hard. kung gusto mo talaga, punyeta ibigay mo na lahat. otherwise sobrang matatangahan ka sa sarili mo kasi “paano kung mas nag-aral pa ko?” “dapat pala inaral ko ‘yun” etc. etc. it’s stressful yeah, anxiety inducing yeah, ang sarap magmura yeah, pero push thru lang taena once in a lifetime lang bro (kasi isang beses ka lang pwede mag UPCAT eksdee).

Isang linyang nabasa ko mula sa “Kaguya sama: Love is War”

The pain of studying is temporary, but the pain of not studying lasts a lifetime.

Hi! I want to have comprehensive list of the BL manga/manhwa etc. that I’ve read because I want to spread the love for this genre 💜.  This post is a list of works that I’ve read which is not in this page yet + my comments on each work. I hope some people will find something that they like here ^__^

🐣 All BL recs from me 

manhwa  🐓

💜 Never Understand

Yuri, one of the school's most handsome guys,and Jaerim, one of the school's ugliest, collide!...or don't they? Can't understand what's going on between these two! It's Out of Control! 

shounen-ai, completed, 87 chapters

THE STORY IS SOOOO GOOD. The art also improved by a lot upon reaching the later chapters. Jae-rim is dubbed as “ugly” (he’s a whole cutie tho) and I’m glad to see a non conventional character design for an MC! I highly recommend reading this!!  👌💯

Incorrigible 

A sequel to “Never Understand” which is focused on Cho Ayeon’s story after being free from Soyeon’s control.

yaoi, completed, 8 chapters

This has few chapters so maybe that explains the fast pacing. Nonetheless, it was a nice read, I have a really soft spot for Jae-rim so seeing his r-18 experiences with Yuri really got me ahkdjashdkajshd ;W;

💜 Dirty Vibrations

Best friends Yeong and Nohae thought it was a joke when they downloaded the infamous “cursed” app. It’s said to command the user to perform…sexual acts and punishes those who disobey or delete it. It started with making them kiss. When they disobeyed its order…the punishment was anything but a joke. 

yaoi, ongoing

This one is from Fujoking (author of Youjin)! In all honesty, I love this for its sex scenes. They are so well made, the art, the dialogue, the expressions, and just *chef’s kiss* 👌. When it comes to expressing sexual scenes in BL, my top authors would have to be Fujoking for manhwa and Zaria for manga.

💜 Paid

Executive director Heejae is nicknamed "Chaebol Prince" by the public. But his life is turned upside down when documents linking him to an embezzlement scheme are unexpectedly found by an accounting collegian Taekyung! So he pretends to have a crush on him, but.. Taekyung wants more than just flirting! 

yaoi, ongoing

This is another one from Fujoking! This has a heavier plot as compared to Dirty Vibrations, so you get amazing smut AND an engaging story! 

💜 On or Off

Yiyoung is building a startup with his college friends. They get a chance to present their proposal to SJ Corporation, one of the leading companies in the country. But in the meeting room he sees Kang Daehyung, the extremely handsome company big shot that's so very much his type, and Yiyoung's heart starts to race...! Can pretty-faced Yiyoung win both in love and his career? 

yaoi, ongoing

Okay this! It’s really funny and the pacing is nice and the characters are nice and the art is nice and the perfect mix of romance comedy and slice of life i just HUHDADKAJDHJK it’s rly a feel good read and both MCs are SO ATTRACTIVE.

Penthouse XXX

Siyeon, a contract killer, has declared a boycott on men after being screwed over by his ex. That is, until he moves into a penthouse owned by Taekyung, a rich heir with killer looks.

yaoi, completed, 49 chapters

It has meme worthy illustrations xD. The graphics are nice but I found Taekyung (one of the MCs) to be a little toxic. Also, some parts of the story were not wrapped up/discussed enough imo. But overall, it was a pleasant read.

Home Sweet Home

The last thing Jungyeon expected was for his mom to ask if she could remarry. The new man was kind, considerate, a perfect match for his mother but there’s a catch: he has a younger son. Sunwoo is an introvert. He’s shy and has trouble opening up to others, until he meets Jungyeon and finds himself opening up for the first time. As their parents get closer to marrying, they become close, too close, and that’s when Sunwoo learns Jungyeon is already seeing another man.

yaoi, completed, 57 chapters

I honestly don’t know why this has quite a low rating on mangago because I found it to be a good read! It’s like sitting through a romance-drama movie. I liked the ending and the relationship between the main couple.

K’s Secret

Employee Kim Doyoon has been working for 5 years. He has one secret that he can't tell anyone else - the fact that he's a half-vampire born between a human and a vampire.

yaoi, ongoing

The art is so good in the recent chapters ugh. Also the sex scenes are well made. The plot is a little unclear though, and I feel like the relationship of the two MCs are kinda forced and unnatural hahaskdhakjdh. Still reading it tho since it’s ongoing.

💜 I have a Boyfriend

Kang Hyeon Ho, who belongs in the university soccer team goes into a breadth class and encounters the person he went to middle school together with and was his first love, Han Gyeol. 

yaoi, completed, 44 chapters

THIS IS BASICALLY COLLEGE AU ROM COM ADDITIONAL TAG: FIRST LOVE AND IT’S AMAZING. Just a really well rounded story with the right amount of drama to bring out its slice of life  😭💘 Also, this is tagged as yaoi but the sex scenes were few and not that explicit.

💜 Voice of Love

After experiencing a traumatic incident involving a previous lover, Jiho is too afraid to tell his classmate Soohan that he likes him. Thankfully, Soohan can hear otherpeople's thoughts and asks him out first. But, as we all know, love isn't always that easy. Will Jiho and Soohan really get their happily ever after?

shounen-ai, completed, 37 chapters

Just a really cute story about mind reading and high school boys being in love. Ah, youth. This will make you feel good like ,,, awww young love :( <3

Base to Base

The elite Sung Moon High is fields one the country's top 5 high school baseball teams. Kim Soohyun was the ace pitcher of his middle school now started his first year at Moon high baseball team...since his beloved sunbae Choi Woojin(captain/catcher) is there....Kim Soohyun is an cutie puppy with stalker tendency exclusive for his beloved sunbae. 

shounen-ai, completed, 28 chapters

Sports manga/anime always had a little (or lots) of gay, well this one made it officially gay! A cute rom-com bUT I feel like the ending was rushed. I would have loved it if there was more, but nonetheless, a good read! :)

manga  🐓

💜 I Seriously Can’t Believe You  

"I don't think you've realized your true nature yet." That's what Kon tells Iida, the hottest guy at school, wondering how anyone could be so proper. As popular as he is, Iida doesn't seem interested in any of the girls who come after him. Kon and his buddies try to look into the matter by flipping a coin and having Kon approach him with his confession of love, just to see if he's really interested in guys. "I've... never looked at guys like that..." says Iida, falling for Kon's ruse. Kon takes him home, hoping to straighten out the misunderstanding, when Iida suddenly grabs him by the shoulder, and... A story about a mysterious hottie at school and a prince of a certain kind. 

yaoi, completed, 5 chapters

THIS IS FUNNY AND CUTE AND HOT AND SHORT BUT REALLY GOOD JUST READ IT YOU WONT REGRET IT!

💜 Yoru to Asa no Uta 

(Chapter 0) ; (Sequel)

Asaichi can't play any instruments, his voice is average, and he's only in the band for the girls and the sex. Plus, he's homophobic. For some reason, the new bassist is infatuated with him despite the treatment Asaichi gives him.

yaoi, completed, 1 + 8 + 8  = 16 chapters

It’s by Harada (author of ‘Yatamomo’ and ‘Color Recipe’) so expect dark themes. Trigger warning for rape. I suggest you skip the rape if you can’t handle it because this manga is so good. Its art and story (much like Harada’s other works) will really suck you in. This left a deep impression on me because the characters felt so alive. I respect Harada so much for that ability.

💜 Eigyou Nika!

Sakisaka, stationed in the second Sales Division, has an unrequited love for Toujou, his directing senpai. He had no intention of confessing his feelings. However, Toujou has been awfully touchy-feely lately… Is there a glimmer of hope? Please don’t let it be a misunderstanding! Which path will these vexing feelings flow down to?

yaoi, completed, 10 chapters

I had fun reading this because it’s so fluffy!! aaaAAAA I love friends to lovers and cuddling and the sweetness that comes from a relationship that is a more than friendship but less than lovers. A lighthearted read <3

💜 Mou Ichido, Nando Demo

On his way home from picking up a rings for himself and his lover, Fuji Takahiro is hit by a car. His resulting amnesia degrades his live-in lover Kotou Tarou to a mere flatmate, and a series of misunderstandings threatens to tear the couple apart. Tossed around by desperation and confusion, can Tarou and Takahiro rebuild their once blissful relationship? 

yaoi, completed, 11 chapters

This is like watching a really good mature drama. The characters feel real and the situations presented in the manga were also something one can easily imagine themselves being put into. A short and good read.

💜Ookami-kun wa Kowakunai

The world is filled with animals that can evolve into beastmen. There is a young and earnest wolf who was always mistaken for a showy person because of his flashy looks. The easily mistaken wolf has fallen for an attractive looking rabbit named Usami, who is cautious of carnivores.

yaoi, completed, 6 chapters

I mEAN,,, LOOK AT THEM!!! This is wholesome and very fluffy huhuhuhu no more words needed. A short and cute read! <3

💜Ookami He No Yomeiri

Kaede is a rabbit person chosen to be the 'bride' of a distinguished wolf family. Although he does not wish to marry a wolf, his family pleads for him to go so that they can have enough supplies to last for the next two years. However, how will his new husband act towards a little bunny rabbit stuck in the wolf's den?

yaoi, completed, 8 chapters

The art is good and the story is cute :((( They’re so cute aaaa I’m a sucker for grumpy looking x ray of sunshine it’s just uGH the contrast never gets old.

💜 Encirclement Love

Ryou had a sleepover and saw his friends - Issei and Tadahiro - kissing while they thought he was asleep. He asks them about it and feels betrayed as a childhood friend when they pretend nothing happened. Determined to catch them red-handed, Ryou ends up inside a closet with Issei's little brother - Yuusei -, who has a unexpected reaction to the situation.

yaoi, completed, 6 chapters

It’s basically four high school boys being horny. All four of them are friends and I find their dynamics really funny. Also, they’re all hOT 🥵 I had lots of fun reading this!

Mother’s Spirit

University employee Ryouichirou is ordered by the Chairman to take in an exchange student. That exchange student, Qaltaqa, is a native from a developing country who can't understand Japanese!! Though he is a warrior of his tribe and a man of great beauty, seeing him afraid of the phone and the TV, and even the toilet, Ryouichirou gets fed up… But while being called "Ryouichirou" in such a clumsy manner, he has a change of heart!?

yaoi, completed, 13 chapters

This is funny and interesting! A short read to boost your mood and get your yaoi fix ;D

Dakaretai Otoko Ichii Ni Odosarete Imasu 

Saijou Takato's 5 year reign as the "Most Huggable No. 1" has been snatched. Stealing his thunder is the newbie actor with a 3-year debut, Azumaya! Towards the stuffy hostile Takato, Azumaya's sincere sparkling smile starts to become effective. Even as Takato sets his alert level on MAX, Azumaya catches Takato in his shameful drunken state and uses it to blackmail him! In exchange for Azumaya's silence, Azumaya states, "Please let me hold you"'?! "Embrace me, who was the Most Huggable No.1? What the heck is he saying!" 

yaoi, ongoing

I remember dropping this because MC was obviously raped, but upon watching the first episode of the anime adaptation, they made the sex consensual (thank God) and the story is not so bad after all. I suggest skipping the first chapter altogether and just start off at episode 1 in the anime, then you can pick it up in the manga to see the explicit scenes xD

That’s it for now! Will continue updating in this tumblr acc. as I continue on reading more BL ehe. Hmu on my twt if u wanna talk about BL and/or anime and manga in general hehe. Love lots~ 💜🐓

Color Recipe- I don’t want to spoil anything, I guess some people won’t like this manga because of its dark theme but honestly? I loved it. If you want to read a good psychological yaoi that doesn’t romanticize anything, I highly recommend this! (including the other works of Harada).

Room to Room- Dowan starts living with Chamin, the object of his unrequited love. One night, Chamin goes into Dowan’s room with a different look in his eyes and starts demanding for sex. But… it’s just all because of a condition called “sexsomnia”? DOWAN (the seme in the pic) IS A FCKING STUD WHAT A HOTTIE 😩🔥🔥🔥 actually, this entire series ? hot. Kind of like a sequel/side story of “Window to Window”

[moogiwarah]

Love or Hate- Haesoo and Joowon, whose parents' remarriage meant that they must never be in a romantic relationship. Through repeated partings and encounters, fights and their senseless forsaken relationship in bed, changes began to take place as Taekyung came in between the two of them.

From the author of one of my fave shounen-ai ("Fools”) 😌 Almost all characters in this manhwa are drawn sooooo beautifully! 💖 And they’re hot 😔🔥 Skl Taku is one of my fave characters in the world of BL because his character is super interesting (for me) hehe.

[moogiwarah]

Oh! My Assistant- Naive comic artist Seonho, who draws R-19 series, hires beauty(?)-and-brains Muyoung with outstanding skills to be his assistant. However, working with Muyoung who is too task-oriented and has a prickly temperament, turns out to be a little difficult. Seonho asks Muyoung to pose for him one day to help with a sexy scene, but when he saw how erotic Muyoung’s pose is, Seonho’s “junior”… that hasn’t stood in 2 years, got up. It’s hard! It got hard! It finally got hard!

Trip na trip ko to kasi ang funny and lighthearted hakhak. Also ?! Seonho (seme, in the pic) is my ideal type irl aaaa look at him!! cutie :((

[moogiwarah]

Short reads

Kiraide Isasete- ABO! Dynamics; omega got raped back in highschool tapos nabuntis siya (his daughter is so cute hngs). Because of the trauma, he hates alphas. Y’ALL the alpha here is a solid 10/10 bcoz he respects the omega so much im cries (also he’s younger and i have a thing for younger semes hakdjahsd)

7 chapters, yaoi

Liquor and Cigarettes- Beautiful art!!! The guys have their shops across each other. Uke in a liquor store and seme in a tobacco store, they’re also childhood friends. 

(idk if it’s in mexico or italy hahaha)

one of the hottest ukes (for me), y’all missing out on a hella sexy uke if u don’t read this.

6 chapters, yaoi

I’ll be gay! Body Switcharoo- Sa title palang hngs dami ko tawa d2. Black haired guy is narcissistic and blonde guy wants to commit suicide (it’s not dark at all i promise, parehas silang bobo). They somehow end up switching bodies and the story progresses from there hehe. Comedy/humor is my fave genre so this manga is definitely one of my faves! 

8 chapters, yaoi

Kunkou schale- Basically, the guy has a super strong sense of smell tapos gusto niya amuyin si other guy bcoz he smells good to him. The seme reminds me of Tsukki (from haikyuu) and he’s hot.

6 chapters, yaoi

Hana to Junketsu- Hot vampire seme. Honetsly,,, y’all already know what to expect from a yaoi manga with vampires hakhak.

6 chapters, yaoi

Megumi and Tsugumi- ABO dynamics! So the omega is a yankee, like,,, yung mga tambay sa kanto na lagi naghahanap ng away. A rly refreshing read (for me) coz ang unique nung uke (again, for me) hehehehe funny and cute (imo). I liked it!

7 chapters, yaoi

Ani no hanashi- A simple story that is focused more on the implication of same sex relationship in the family. A realistic BL to remind us that sexual orientation do not change a person’s character.

3 chapters, shounen-ai

Samishigariya no Love Letter- I personally liked the second couple more kasi ang cute nila like,,, who doesn’t love a good childhood friends to lovers story rite ?? aaa ang cute talaga

5 chapters, shounen-ai

Akai Ito No Shikkou Yuuyo - Guy has powers to see red strings of fate annnnd naloka siya nang malaman niyang sa another guy naka connect ung red string of fate niya. It progresses from there :D

7 chapters, yaoi

Houkago Edge- Guy has a secret hobby of crossdressing and one of his classmates see him. I actually dont fancy crossdressing pero ang wholesome kasi nito ??? also, i like how halata mo padin na lalaki talaga siya even when he’s crossdressing hehe

5 chapters, shounen-ai

Ikujinashi no Spectator- uhm,,, yes,,, it’s tagged shotacon. iM SORRY PERO IDK I HAVE A THING FOR TSUNDERES AND THE UKE HERE REMINDS ME OF AIRI (the no.1 tsundere in the world of hentai from oni-chichi) HAHAHKDJASHKDJHAKJDH SORRY NA PLZ

8 chapters, yaoi

Heartless- An incubus (sex demon) and...a guy (lmao i rly don’t know how to explain). Can be a little disturbing,,, not that bad imo tho (for me ok? haha). As u can see from the art it’s not gonna be some heart fluttering romantic yaoi hahaha,,, i liked it tho!

6 chapters, yaoi

Fall for me-  Jihoon is confident that he can easily make guys, even straight ones, fall for him. It worked quite well up until he met Gyungwoo. Jihoon works as a nude model and is introduced to Gyungwoo for his personal photograph project. Gyungwoo appears nonchalant to Jihoon's looks, deeply hurting his pride. Now, Jihoon is determined to make Gyungwoo fall for him.

The summary says it all. Also, even if it has 24 chapters, I consider it a short read kasi kaya siyang tapusin in like,,, 2 hours? maybe less if u read faster than me hahahasdkjahd.

24 chapters, shounen ai, manhwa (read left to right)

will post more !! soon :DD
