No that's Tagalog, I don't know Chinese??? - The guy is Filipino. I posted your show on Sat... I know a bunch of Filipinos in LA and thought it nothing else it would be a good excuse for them to go out for Chinese. They love food, gossip , and art. hahaha
here check these Gals out they are halarious:
Mail Order Brides (M.O.B.): Filipina-American artists Eliza Barrios, Jenifer Wofford and Reanne Estrada, a.k.a. the Mail Order Brides, dress up and act out campy send-ups of Filipino-American life.
How did you come up with the name Mail Order Brides?
Estrada: There was a Frasier episode where they referred to Filipino women being mail order brides. You know, it's a serious situation--the economic conditions in the Philippines dictate these drastic measures for these women. Along with the whole women-in-distress persona, we all kind of looked at each other and said, well, we're all Filipino women and all the Filipino women we know aren't subservient, they're not submissive, they're kind of kick-ass! And Filipinos are very fond of acronyms, so we thought Mail Order Brides, M.O.B., turning the idea of a mail order bride on its head.
Stephanie Syjuco is a friend of theirs, they all hang in a group call "The Galleon Trade" Which refers to the time after the Philippines was colonized by Spain and they opened a trade route across the pacific from the Philippines to Acapulco Mexico...

All Three: Food!
Barrios: Gossip.
Estrada: Shoes. Oh yeah, I guess art too.
