“As immigrants in California, my family and I cook a lot of Filipino food at home. My favourites are adobo, which is a flavourful chicken or pork stew, and dinuguan, a pork blood stew also known as chocolate meat.”

“Being a new parent is both exciting and stressful at the same time. Our daughter Audi is quite the Daddy’s girl, so I’m hoping our next child, when we do have one, will be a Mummy’s boy!”

“I’m a very sporty person and exercise practically everyday! I run five to six times a week, gym three times a week, and swim three times a week.”

"I run a little fashion business with my friends, designing modern qipaos, contemporary tops, and everyday wear using Chinese silk, but I’m also planning to start blogging and documenting my travel adventures."

“I have two Holland Lop rabbits, the ones with the droopy ears that are super cute! My wife and I are considering getting more animals, but having two is already quite a headache to manage.”

“My partner and I are quite the homebodies, so the bulk of our time at home is spent making coffee, cooking, or, for me, doom scrolling—it’s really bad!”

"My favourite dishes are braised minced pork rice and yang chun noodles—comfort food, basically. I can cook, but I prefer eating out because I’m too lazy to clean up after.”

“I recently went diving in Lombok and it was an incredible experience. I remember seeing so many different kinds of fish that were extremely colourful and iridescent!”

"I'm currently a Brand Ambassador for an alcohol company. My mum and I used to hang out at bars together quite a bit—in fact, I even wrote my university thesis at a bar!"

“Growing up, I’ve always had to follow the rules, so when I started dancing, I found it refreshing; I felt like I could do whatever I wanted to.”

“To me, beauty comes from the heart. I think regardless of how you look, if you have a good heart and are beautiful on the inside, it will radiate and show in your outer self as well.”
