We revisit the Tambag or Nayabag submissions that we failed to talk about in our previous episodes...because we forgot to check on them. Oops. We'll do better this season guys!!! In this episode, we tackle interesting topics such as dating someone who doesn't eat pungko-pungko/karenderia food, what's the best and worst meal you've had onboard, the kilig of having airport crushes, and is it okay to greet your ex on their birthdays? More importantly, we discuss the painful and intensely awkward moment of squeezing your way through seats in narrow spaces: are you a side-swivel person or a bilangkad nayshe? PSA: We do not condone of the latter. Please do not spread your legs in public guys. PLEASE. Alyssa talks about PAL's famous lugaw and Zarah emphasizes the importance of sawsawan and realizing later on that she is, in fact, a sauce enthusiast. - Alyssa's Notes: 1. Looking back, I think I had beef and noodles (not rice.) 2. I meant Tsim Sha Tsui in the airport and not Siam! Zzz
