5 - Really? This thing is called a 'meme'?
The idea was taken from Argentum Vulgaris' Nether Region of the Earth II. His meme is here. I always do these kinds of things, so I'm not as uncomfortable with it as some of the other bloggers are.

LAYER TWO:
– Your heritage: Filipino dad, Hong Konger mom

– Your fears: Not-so-seriously? Frogs and lizards. Seriously? Long-term loneliness and heartbreak.
– Your perfect pizza: Cheese, Ham, Pineapple, known as a Hawaiian pizza?
