Decoding Madness

I decided to make my own game, so here it is!
The objective: To decode the message posted from Bad Translator.

Understand? I don't, so I'll explain.
The first person, let's call him Bob, takes a short message, around ten words, and puts the text into the Bad Translator, then without telling us the original text, gives us the 'translated' text, and we have to figure it out! Whoever gets the answer starts the next word.


To prevent cheating, the person who gives the sentence must give some hints if they are stuck, saying things like "Getting closer..." etc. and if a certain amount of time passes without anyone able to get the answer, a new sentence is posted.

Whoever wants to go first can post their sentence here, and I'll edit this post including it.
Current sentence: "Chinese Stardoll"

What we know so far
[list=*]
[li]It has nothing to do with China.
The original message had something to do with food.[/li]
[/list]

What we're guessing
[list=*]
[li]It contained a name of a food, and that food started with a "c" or "s".[/li]
[/list]

I have regrets.

Faressain

New one.

It failed to clarify...
Priest units never get old. WOLOLO!

A fate can be changed, everything will change. A destiny is just a container that keeps the liquid in - in this case a person.

Not sure if Faressain even remembers the original at this point, so here's a new one:

Boredom, decision line
This was a thing I tried to do, but insert mess of a sentence here. Also, I'm a vowelless neither transparent nor translucent mammal of the genus Neogale, I guess. :/ B)
The future experience must be anticipated beforehand to ensure proper expectations.

The "bored" part is kinda right, but nothing else.

Hint: Decision actually sorta means something.

Bored, decided to draw lines.

PkmnQ

Decided to is correct, but I did not draw lines. In fact, lines does not mean anything.

Hint: Actually, I just realized what line might mean. It's a misinterpretation of a word commonly used on forums.

That's part of the sentence. Remember, there's something slightly related with line.

I forgot but it definitely was something like "Bored, decided to bump an old thread".

So here's a new one:
The next time I meet you, more characters will be processed.  I hope this foot is neat and clean.  In the event that I am still in a state of preservation, in the unlikely event that I die again on this line.
