      Spring break is next month. I'll be going to Honolulu for a few days. Then I have a week off in May. Why? You want me to come by? ;)

      Basically experiencing different fields of pharmacy, from community/retail, acute care, ambulatory care, etc. At my school, I have 8 rotations that are 6 weeks long, anywhere from 40-60 hours a week. I start in April 2012 and finish in March 2013.

      A reprint of a cookbook by MFK Fisher. Fascinating piece about American cuisine in the 40s and 50s...

      The Big Island when I interviewed for UHH pharm school. That was surreal--being in 80 degree weather and seeing snow on Mauna Kea!

      Be yourself. Treat him as if he were any other guy Don't ingratiate yourself to his culture. I hope you're dating him because he's a nice guy, not because he's Filipino.

      As long as you don't cum near any broken skin, or near mucous membranes (like mouth, ass, etc.), you're fine.

      The same as doing it if you're a bottom. The risks are slightly less, but I know a few guys who've gotten STDs (including HIV) who were strictly tops.

      Well, that activism has always made me feel special affinity towards underserved people (like POC, LGBT, women, HIV+, etc). I'm hoping I'll be able to do rotations with a trans clinic, and encourage LGBTPOC to consider the health professions. we need more people like me out there!

      Without knowing anything about how rice is prepared in other cultures, I can't really say. There wasn't any supposed ritual that I learned. (I was trained as a sociologist not as an anthropologist.)

    17. Efren

      LOL well, we all like rice--though I mean it to mean something totally different. (it's a slang term for a queer asian man who's into other asian men.)

      Personally, I'm an agnostic. It's not in my place to say what people should or shouldn't believe, but I find it funny how fellow agnostics/atheists tend to know more about religion than our more "religious" counterparts!

    19. Efren

      Not at all. It's a misperception that one sees lots of Filipin@s as nurses and the like, but when one goes up into middle & upper management, we are still incredibly underrepresented.
