Velasco talks of his health, diet, food, love life, and his past jobs. Velasco's favorite Filipino restaurants are now closed. Since these closings, Velasco eats mostly at Chinese and Italian restaurants. Velasco thinks Italian food is too expensive and Chinese restaurants don't give him what he wants. He also says if you don't know the right restaurant you could get food poisoning like other manongs. Although he goes through this anguish, he luckily has an Italian girlfriend that cooks for him. In the I-hotel many manongs have no refrigerators, so they leave food out to eat and get sick. Velasco is aware of this problem and prides his health first. With monthly visits to the doctor, he's told that he should not eat pork and fried foods. While others can't afford doctors and don't believe in them, Velasco luckily can see a doctor. Velasco also explains his past jobs in places such as Fresno, San Jose, and Santa Clara.
