  1. Sliced, dipped in beaten egg and pan-fried or in ensalada form (roasted; charred skins removed and mixed with onions, garlic and a bit of salt, pepper, vinegar, olive oil and/or soy sauce). Yum.

     

    Tsukemen

  2. My first manga was Nodame Cantabile. Too bad the last-9 English translation volumes have never been published :( I love the anime as well.

     

    Second was Kitchen Princess after a college friend introduced it to me. I've never finished it. I was gonna buy the first and third to end volumes (I only have volume 2) when I saw them at the local secondhand bookstore, but by the time I had enough money they were all gone :(

     

    I've seen a couple of animes as a kid and a few on my teens and YA. Pokemon, Trigun, Flame of Recca, Daimos, Voltes V, Ghost Fighter, Hunter X Hunter, Slam Dunk, Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin), Cedie (Little Lord Fauntleroy), Alice In Wonderland (Fushigi no Kuni no Alice), Fushigi Yuugi, Anne of Green Gables, Bubu Chacha, Crayon Shin-chan, Cardcaptor Sakura, Super Boink (Tonde Burin), Takoyaki Mantoman, Ranma 1/2, Digimon, Magic Knight Rayearth, Akazukin Chacha, Dragon Ball Z, Sunny Pig (Fair, then Partly Piggy), Doraemon, Mojacko, Sket Dance, Super Gals!, Lupin the Third. A lot. Those were the good ol' days.

     

    Samurai X, Super Boink, Akazukin Chacha, Digimon and Pokemon were aired with the English dub. The rest were in Tagalog, especially Lupin and Shin-chan. I loved their hilarious dubs so much xD

     

    If live action can count, the original Japanese version of Hana-Kimi. Both the Japanese and Tagalog dub.

  3. I answered 'sometimes' to all 'cause it'll depend if I'm close, and more importantly, trusting; to the people I hug, (cheek) kiss and/or cuddle (rarely to seldom happens) with. More importantly, with consent from me.

     

    Getting hugged, kissed or cuddled impromptu is massively uncomfortable, a big fat no-no and space-invading. And if someone involves touching me in places where it's a 'radioactive red alert alarm', I'll be even more uncomfortable to the point I start to shake and have disturbia for hours.

    This has happened once last year when a high school schoolmate acquaintance found me while I was on my way to the grocery and before we parted ways their hand brushed my left side of my stomach.

     

  4. I'm 100 percent romance-repulsed, 100 percent romance-indifferent, 100 percent romance-cynical and a bit romance-positive. After I got catfished and had my heart broken by the actual guy whose identity was used; my whole view of both romance, sex and society changed drastically. Since I was young, I was always told to cover my eyes and/or ears and/or go to another room far away from the TV whenever a kissing and/or sexual scene ensues. Fast-forward to my teens and mid-twenties and I still do that; adding in a ton of eye-rolling and snarky, cynical, repulsive and criticizing comments about the R and S words whenever they're enacted in the media and in real life.

  5. @UncommonNonsense, you've also read my mind *offers a high five*

     

    For me though; if I were to get married (church or civil; or better yet, a joint civil partnership and commitment ceremony. I'd love to see the day it'll be legal to do so here for both straight and LGBT+ couples, and same goes with same-sex marriage); I'd rather have everything low-key, simple and very private. Have a cake that me and my partner picked out and chose the flavor and design with (I'm imagining it as chocolate fudge on the inside, pastel rainbow frosting on the outside :D and it doesn't have to be the same wedding cake design!). Involve the guests and family and relatives in the catering process so that everyone has their fill and satisfaction of the food served (especially those with allergies and diet and/or health restrictions). If that means someone suggests an ice cream or create-your-own pizza bar and the majority accepts, then so be it :D! Invite only our family, relatives, closest friends and colleagues and those that we really trust. A homey and private location that can also double as the reception that doesn't look flashy and over-the-top with minimalist decors (if we decided to not get married in a church or a courthouse). Dress code is just simply smart casual. No one-time dresses and suits. Guests' cellphones and cameras are confiscated until after the ceremony to keep the privacy going. No fancy wancy stuff. No DJ and/or band at the reception. No booze either (or maybe a bottle or two of sparkling white wine for the toasts). Plug in an iPod or a phone running on Spotify and play any music we desire that doesn't have to be all lovey-dovey/cheesy/romantic.

     

    I know that most people really like those over-the-top ones; but I really do hope that everyone is also accepting, open-minded and aware that there are also some that like being simple and private.
