"Kaya din siguro sobrang nage-enjoy ako sa ginagawa ko. Para ngang hindi siya trabaho because imagine mo: pupunta ka sa isang lugar, sasayaw ka ng one hour, sasayawin mo 'yung mga favorite mong mga tugtog tapos makikita mo na sinasayaw nila, tuwang-tuwa ka dahil alam nila 'yung sayaw mo," he relayed. "And at the same time, pagdating mo dun sa isang lugar, maghahain sila ng masarap na pagkain para sa'yo, iwe-welcome ka nila na parang kapamilya ka talaga nila.”
