Q: “What was the last movie you went and saw in theatres? Was it good?”

Q: “Do you have any tattoos? Where? If not, then why not?”
A: “I actually have four. This one right here *points to left side of his chest* is Sanskrit. It means ‘General’ which is my last name. All my cousins and my brothers, we all got it roughly at the same time. This one means ‘Ama’ *points to left forearm* which means father in really old school Tagalog. It’s for my father who passed away from cancer three or four years ago, so it’s kind of like a reminder. And then this other one is a laurel wreath *points to right forearm* and it’s a symbol of my mom and dad’s wedding ring. It’s kind of a reminder as well because what they had was something really amazing. All my family and friends would say they were really close, and that’s what love is. It’s really a reminder for me for the future, to find something like that. And the arrow *points to lower right side of forearm*, honestly, I just liked it so I decided to get it. “

Q: If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
A: “Ooo, that’s tough, because there’s like a couple. My absolute favorite place I’ve traveled to is definitely Barcelona, Spain. Just because of the culture over there. It’s so different, like the food and the lifestyle, and just like their whole atmosphere is just crazy.”
Q: “What foods do you hate?”
A: “It’s not really like a type of food. I’m a texture person, so I don’t like anything like squishy or fat or just things like that. I don’t like that.”
