I think it’s nice I ask if I have to take my shoes off at any house I go to.

If you're going to host a huge party, you gotta just commit to cleaning the floors after. People are going to have drinks and food, and we don't want to step on that with our socks or bare feet. Gross.

You're an adult now; it's okay if you forget. Your own family won't mind waiting, or you can skip the rice altogether. In fact, we can just throw the food in the trash while we're at it!

People ask me, "You Filipino?" like they're making a drug deal. And I do it, too.

This one I follow because you know what, it feels stupid to spend money on soap.

It's strange to me but I'm actually here for it since bags discarded just end up in the ocean anyway.

I promise you they don't know your friend Kevin from UC Irvine. 

Just two young adults with their Tita Babes, who is actually just your mom's old co-worker.

And you know what, maybe we should help clean up, hun.

I will sometimes hold onto a stray sauce as if my parents personally immigrated to the US with this specific packet. It's absurd.

The foreign chocolate someone else gave you from their vacation. Untouched decorative towels. Hotel slippers. The nicest glass or plate in your cupboard. All for guests. Meanwhile, you're eating off a paper plate like an unwelcome guest in your own home.
