1.How old were you when you had your first real fight?
I think I was in the 1st grade so I must have been 6 or 7. A kid named Steve took my lunch so I put him in a head lock and drove him into a desk. He cried and I got in trouble! Don't mess with my food. You'll either get beat up or I'll do something bad to your food. haha

I love love love love sushi! I can't live without it. I love eating raw salmon. I love shrimp tempura rolls! I must eat sushi at least 2 to 3 times a week.

3.What was your nick name when you were a kid?
This is hilarious! My dad used to call me "Pookie Rice" because I used to eat a lot of rice when I was young. I guess he used the word pookie because it sounds cute. It also means something bad in Filipino. I used to be a really cute kid. Now... I don't know what happened.

The incredible Hulk! He is the man! Don't ever piss him off. He's so powerful he'll rip your limbs right out of there sockets! I like the green color too.
