EN: fluffed; treated like cotton
Imagine taking something and making it as fluffy and airy as cotton candy or your favorite pillow. 'Yan ang 'binulakan'. Pwede rin itong description sa ugali, parang 'pinalaki sa layaw', as if they were handled with cotton gloves. Parang 'yung friend mong ayaw mag-commute kasi 'di sanay sa siksikan.
