Dude, I totally freaked out when I saw this YouTube video of this half Iranian, half Filipino guy going through his kitchen and explaining different Filipino foods in his fridge. From the video, I spotted suukang maasim (literally, “sour vinegar”), bagoong (shrimp paste), leftover pancit, guava juice and container of siopao (rice dough buns filled with pork). It’s like, my life, but in a boy form. Apparently, this guy (named Ro) is the singer and guitarist for a band called The Knockarounds, a punk band based in California…we Arab/Flips are a very creative breed, I guess. I like when he says “50 % Adobo, 50% Kabob” — that’s all it really boils down to, isn’t it.

P.S. Shhh…I think Ro’s pretty cute!!!
