Ricotta, even though I’ve only had it once. That one time converted me forever. 3. What’s your favourite fish? Tilapia, eel, and tuna.

4. What’s your favourite fruit? I don’t do fruits. 5. When, if ever, did you start liking olives? Nooooo I never liked olives.

6. When, if ever, did you start liking beer? I hate fizzy drinks in general so I never got the hang of beer. Plus beer burps are the worst. 7. When, if ever, did you start liking shellfish? I guess when my palate started expanding by the time I was around 13. I was a picky eater before then and used to eat the same things over and over. Then I got older and suddenly I eat everything hahaha. 8. What was the best thing your mum/dad/guardian used to make? My mom doesn’t really have a signature dish, but my dad makes the best chicken wings, curry, and risotto. Perks of having a chef has a dad :) 9. What’s the native specialty of your hometown? If I did that I would end up with an entire fucking book. Philippines in general has a wide variety of native dishes like sinigang, dinuguan, sisig, lechon, etc., and then you have your regions which may have their own specialties going on, and on an even smaller scale, there are provinces in those regions that have native dishes. One never runs out of options in this country. 10. What’s your comfort food? The duo of instant noodles with hard boiled eggs never fails me. 11. What’s your favourite type of chocolate? Milk or white. 12. How do you like your steak? Rare or medium-rare. 13. How do you like your burger? Medium.

My usual is a caramel macchiato, 10 out of 10 times from Starbucks. 17. How do you take your tea? Meh I don’t normally have it but if it’s the only thing being served, I want it iced and lemonade flavored. 18. What’s your favourite mug?

What’s your biscuit or cookie of choice? Chocolate chip, and one that isn’t baked all the way through. It probably sounds weird but the more gooey the better D: 20. What’s your ideal breakfast? Scrambled eggs and bacon is fine. On my ~fancier days~ a bagel with salmon sounds good, too. 21. What’s your ideal sandwich? I never have sandwiches so I dunno what my ideal combination would be like. All I know is I want it to be showered in mayo. 22. What’s your ideal pizza: I want ten cheese pizza to be a thing. Mozzarella stuffed crust is never a bad idea as well. 23. What’s your ideal pie (sweet or savoury)? Erm...pizza pie? Apart from that I never really have any other kind of pie. 24. What’s your ideal salad? Spicy tuna salad aaaaahhhhhhhh I’ve been craving forever. 25. What food do you always like to have in the fridge? Ice cream. Leftovers from restaurants. HAHAHAHA 26.

Idk if mayonnaise counts but I can live on that for the rest of my life. 30. Where do you buy most of your food? Whatever grocery my mom happens to be in. 31. How often do you go food shopping? Every two weeks I think. I’m not too sure though; my mom is in charge of that and sometimes I don’t even notice if she’s done her grocery shopping. 33. What’s the most expensive piece of kitchen equipment you own? Dunno. You’d have to go to my parents to find out. Probably the refrigerator though? 34. What’s the last piece of equipment you bought for your kitchen? I think we got a new pan or something. 35. What piece of kitchen equipment could you not live without? All of them, I don’t cook kdjsfkjshff. 36. How many times a week/month do you cook from raw ingredients? 37. What’s the last thing you cooked from raw ingredients? 38. What meats have you eaten besides cow, pig and poultry? Buffalo and lamb. 39. What’s the last time you ate something that had fallen on the floor? Two weeks ago. I dropped the box of my McDonald’s burger on the ground but since that was going to be my only food for the day and was desperate, I had to pick it back up :( 40.

It’s a local chain called Jollibee, but they have franchises around the world. I get my favorite combo of spaghetti and fried chicken allllll the time. 47. Pick a city. What are the best dining experiences you’ve had in that city? JAPAN. I only spent a few hours in the country so I had to make it count. We eventually ended up in this sushi place and I was blessed with the best sushi and sashimi platter I’ve ever had in my entire life. We were in Japan itself so it felt so authentic and so so raw. It was so good. I finished it in minutes. 48. What’s your choice of tipple at the end of a long day? Had to look this up and it’s apparently an alcoholic drink? Welp I’m biased to Baileys hahaha but red wine isn’t such a bad idea now, especially after my girlfriend and her mom converted me into liking it. 49. What’s the next thing you’ll eat? That burger didn’t satisfy my stomach AT ALL so I feel like after this survey I’d fix myself up a bowl of cheesy ramen noodles. 50. Are you hungry now? Yes, all thanks to this survey. 51. Do you eat your breakfast everyday? No I never do these days. My first classes are at 8:30 all week and allotting two hours for traffic basically means I never have time to whip up breakfast for myself. 52. At what time do you have breakfast? :( 53. At what time do you have lunch? 'Lunch’ starts at 10 for me since I’m usually hungry after skipping breakfast. 54. What do you have for lunch?

At what time do you have dinner? 7 or 8. 56. What do you have for dinner? Depends on what my mom had prepared beforehand. I usually don’t like it though so sometimes I skip dinner altogether.

trump-inauguration-peacefulness-and-violence-from-a-polarized-populace

WASHINGTON — The thousands who flocked to the District of Columbia for President Donald Trump’s inauguration Friday reflected a divided and polarized nation.

Latest news: Trump inauguration

Analysis: Trump is right. He didn’t create the country’s divisions. But will he heal them?

Like McGrath, many had no inkling of the tumultuous protests taking place outside the secure oasis.

Less than two miles from where Trump was scheduled to be sworn in, black-clad anarchists armed with crowbars and hammers marched through the city’s streets, breaking windows, tossing newspaper boxes into the streets and smashing the windows of a long, black limousine parked on K Street NW outside The Washington Post. The limousine was set ablaze later in the day, spreading dark smoke throughout the area before firefighters extinguished the flames. D.C. police said three officers were injured and 217 people were arrested.

Police were restrained during most of the protest marches, but against the self-described anarchists they deployed concussion grenades, flash-bangs and pepper spray, at one point encircling a group and moving in to make arrests. Squads of police on motorcycles and bicycles outflanked protesters, cutting off the path of their intended march.

The group had a second violent confrontation with police on the same street in the afternoon, their ranks swollen by other groups who drifted over to join them once their own protests ended.

“Do you think I need stitches?” Robert Hrifko asked firemen standing in front of Engine Company 16.

The 62-year-old had ridden his Harley-Davidson ultra classic from Saint Augustine, Florida, to join Bikers for Trump for the inauguration — the largest of the pro-Trump demonstrations.

“I was on the sidewalk. A protester was throwing an aluminum chair at a police officer while he was moving on his bike,” Hrifko said. “I tackled him, and one of his compadres came up with a rock in his hand, and bam!”

A puffy welt on his cheekbone dribbled blood down into his beard.

“You guys are EMT, you tell me. Do I need stitches?”

They shook their heads, telling him he would be all right.

Other protesters sought to block security checkpoints into the cordoned-off expanse that included the Capitol Building, parade route and White House.

“You want a wall! You got it!” they chanted, linking arms to block a gate at Third Street NW.

Patrick Maher, 51, took a 5 a.m. train from New York City on Friday morning to show his support for Trump.

But minutes before Trump was to be sworn in, Maher was walking back to Union Station to head home.

“I couldn’t get in anywhere,” said Maher, who said he was blocked from entering the gate.

“They’re babies, they’re children,” he said of the protesters. “I’m disappointed I’m not going to see the speech.”

Some protesters passed through the checkpoints. Six of them, wearing dark-blue shirts that, together, spelled out “RESIST,” staged a disruption just as Trump took the oath of office.

“We the people!” the group shouted, standing on chairs and raising their fists. They were quickly removed by police.

Trump supporters and detractors came face-to-face all over the city. In one case, a protester grabbed 10-year-old Josh Wheeler’s anti-abortion sign and threw it to the ground, leaving him to tears.

Josh’s father, Todd Wheeler, said the protester had pushed the boy and called him names, though another anti-Trump activist helped comfort Josh afterward.

“We’re disappointed in the police for letting them do that,” said Wheeler, whose family came to Washington from Indianapolis.

Trump’s inauguration capped a campaign that galvanized millions of Americans who were eager to embrace a Washington outsider willing to say, or tweet, whatever is on his mind. Many of them travelled to the District on Friday to see their champion sworn in.

Kathy Aulson, 55, a emergency-room nurse and attorney from Waxahachie, Tex., said she made plans in October to come to Trump’s inauguration.

“I knew who was going to win,” she said.

“There was no way we weren’t coming,” her husband, Patrick, 65, said.

They stood on the west lawn of the Capitol Building looking for a good spot to see Trump, who had never held elective office before.

“It’s history,” she said. “It’s a non-politician, a businessman. I like that he’s not bought. I like he funded his own campaign. I like he’s not politically correct. I like everything about him.”

Tammy Hodges leaned against the barrier on Pennsylvania Avenue, cold even in her three shirts, two pants and plastic poncho.

“We love our kids,” she said to her similarly shivering friend Cindy Young. “We love our kids.”

She sounded slightly less sure each time she said it.

“I never dress in layers in the south,” said Hodges, who had come from Louisiana.

Hodges and Young waited for hours in front of the Newseum on Pennsylvania Avenue to see their teenage daughters participate in the inaugural parade. Hodges said their town of 50,000 people raised $185,000 to pay for the trip after the West Monroe High School Raiders band and colour guard were invited to perform.

Otherwise, many of the 200 band members could not have afforded the trip, Hodges said.

“Those children would never have the opportunity to leave our small town to see these things,” she said.

John Westlake, 57, a retired Army first Sgt. and member of Bikers for Trump, also stood in the spitting rain along the parade route with his daughter, Jessica Westlake, 26. She has joined the Marine Corps and is waiting to leave for basic training. Her father said his concern for his daughter’s safety attracted him to the billionaire businessman, who has pledged to strengthen America’s armed forces.

John Westlake recalled how, in the post-Vietnam era, another new Republican president beefed up the military.

“Coming in back in ’77, the Army was in bad shape,” said Westlake, of Coventry, Connecticut. “When Ronald Reagan was elected, all of a sudden the Army got all kinds of nice new equipment.”

But Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric has angered and offended millions of other Americans, making him the most unpopular incoming president in at least four decades. Thousands of his detractors trekked to Washington to make their voices heard.

Amanda Custer, 33, started the day by marching with the antifascist, anti-capitalist group. She had come in from Fort Wayne, Ind.iana, to “enjoy the festivities.” She was startled when the march took a violent turn a few blocks in.

“I don’t appreciate the violence, but I believe in equality, unity. There should be justice,” she said.

Liz Levine drove to the District from Florida to witness her first inauguration, and said she felt despair.

“I’m a victim of sexual violence,” Levine, 58, of Margate, Fla., said as she waited in a drizzle at a security checkpoint. “I feel traumatized that we are putting a sexual predator in the White House. I feel completely and utterly betrayed.”

Despite her outrage, Levine said she has prayed for Trump.

“God loves everyone,” she said. “I pray for the Holy Spirit to crack open his head and bring in some enlightenment.”

Harry von Feilitzche, who grew up in Bavaria and whose grandfather spent time in Nazi prison camps, said fascism is not a theoretical concern.

“He definitely has fascist tendencies,” von Feilitzche said as he waited outside a checkpoint. “If Trump does everything he says, he’s definitely a fascist.”

Von Feilitzche, 51, who lives in rural Virginia, clutched a sign that urged “decency, ethics, free trade and social justice.” He said his grandfather “would not have stayed quiet.”

“America has never had a dictatorship,” he said. “Most people are unaware of what a slippery slope it is to go from political radicalism, to repression, to dictatorship.”

But some Trump supporters tried to reach out to those fearful of the new president.

David Sadler wore a blindfold and stood with his arms outstretched.

The foam board on a lanyard around his neck said: “We the people … will make America Greater! I count, u count, I trust u, do u trust me? Let’s hug. God is Love.”

Many giggled and walked away. But others stopped and wrapped their arms around Sadler, who came to the District from Montgomery, Alabama.

“Thank you, God bless you,” he said to each one as he tightened his arms around them.

He said that, on Inauguration Day, it was important for him to send a message of unity.

“The message has been, ‘Trump supporters are so hateful,’ and that’s not true,” Sadler said.

After about an hour, Sadler took his blindfold off, ready to walk away from the Capitol Building, when a man leaned in for one more hug, whispering, “Thank you for doing this.”
