1. What is this blog about?
Mostly the blog focuses on my exploits in the Philippines as a Filipino-American studying abroad. I also focus on my artwork, and my loves of Asian culture, food and traveling. You can find more detailed information on the About Me page.
2. What got you interested in veterinary school?
That is a very long story… But long story short, I grew up with animals in my home and realized that I wouldn’t mind making a job out of it. My dad is also a veterinarian so I can’t say that that didn’t influence me a bit. Also, the animal world is pretty interesting if you ask me. I mean, how can you not be fascinated in the variety of species there are out there? They’re all amazing creatures and we rely on them for so much. It’s part of why I feel like it would be great if I could do more to care for them.
3. What is the Blog section, “Pieces of Chii’s Cake” about? And who the heck is Chii?
Mainly that part of the blog contains all of the more personal entries I’ve made. These don’t exactly talk about my life at vet school and just talk about my life and feelings at that point of time. If you want to find out a different side I show from my regular vet school and artwork entries then look no further. You’ll find them there.
And just to note, Chii is a main character of a Japanese anime that I watched a long ago while I was in high school entitled Chobits. I loved the series so much that I bought the box set on DVD. It is also the username I have on WGSpectacle, the Wonder Girls International English Forum, where I currently work as a Global Moderator.
4. Can I have your e-mail address to send you a message? What about Facebook? Twitter? Anything!?
You can send me suggestions, comments or criticisms there… whatever you want. You can reach me via my Facebook, Twitter, the Contact Me page or just drop me an e-mail at jon [at] jonpinoy.com.
5. I have a question about veterinary school/studying abroad/your experiences/etc.
Like I said before, if you have a question for me you can use the Contact Me form to send me a message. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. However, while working on this blog, I will post up as many resources as possible to help people who are on a similar path to try and guide you. My experiences here are a reflection of what I have personally been through and may not be the same in your case, but all in all I aim for this blog to be helpful to people who are looking into the veterinary field. Also, if you leave a comment on one of the posts, I’ll most likely reply, so don’t be afraid!
6. Can I submit a question to be included in your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section?
Sure, why not? Just hit up the Contact Me form and put in your message what your question is and that you are submitting it to be shown in the FAQ section of the site. Of course, I’ll be screening them to make sure they’re appropriate, but if I deem it okay, then I’ll add it to this list. Now get crackin’ on those questions, people!!
