00:00We don't really say this as, I don't really get to say this as much, but I'll tell her how much I love her.

00:30Alright, so I think if my career was a genre, or my life was a genre, I think it would be a coming-of-age film.

00:41Sa mga coming-of-age films, there's like, you go through obstacles and yung mga iba't-ibang challenges and you get through them.

00:53Huyah! Sarap ah! Sarap, sarap!

01:10It would...

01:13Nag-isip ko, Up! First movie that came to mind. Up! Si Russell.

01:20Because, um, boy scout siya, he just wants to help people out, and gusto kong maka-experience sumakay sa isang bahay na puro balut.

01:42If I can travel to any era, I would go back to the time when I was a little kid.

02:01Yung panahon na wala ka pang pinuproblema kung hindi kulay lang ng crayons mo. That feeling.

02:11Tapos kung maraming levels pa yung crayon, alam mo, ikaw yung pinakasikat sa school.

02:18So what a time to be alive.

02:24Thank you.

02:38I would have dinner with my great-grandmother. She was 98 when she passed away.

02:46Ang pag-uusapan namin on how sorry I was for not visiting her as often as I should.

02:57Sa mga nanonood nito, please do hug your moms, hug your dads, hug your lolos.

03:06Love them, love them. I'll have dinner with my mom.

03:10I don't really get to say this as much, but I'll tell her how much I love her.

03:20Maybe if I can have one more, I'll have dinner with Quentin Tarantino.

03:31And ask him, how to make your style of movies? How do I make a bloody film as good as yours?

03:40Those are my top three.

03:43Mmm!

03:58Truthfully speaking, speaking from the heart, it would be a challenging role for me would be to have,

04:07let's say, a BL or having a relationship with the same sex.

04:17I think that takes a different kind of mindset and I think that's a really challenging role to play.

04:28Top first thing that came to mind.

04:33Kind.

04:37Kind.

04:46Be prepared for what is to come.

04:53Gotta be strong. Gotta be strong in this world. That's my advice.

05:00Mmm!

05:03This is already lit, but it's still good.

05:09When I eat steak, medium well.

05:14Or medium rare.

05:19Delicious!

05:30Mmm!
