Is this really happening? Have I jumped on the Blogger Bandwagon? In the past, whenever people tried to entice me into following their blogs...I never did. It wasn't until my cousin Thao, author of the blog Diary Of A Melting Girl, started her journey that I FINALLY got it. I realized that blogging isn't just a place for the crazies to showcase their love for Good Luck Trolls (You know what I'm talking about...those scary 3 inch dolls with the rainbow dyed hair and jeweled belly buttons), though I completely support that they have their place in this Internet universe as much as any of us do. Blogging is a place where references can be made and supported, where people can connect and find out information not found in Wikipedia. It's a place where a first generation, Chinese-American girl, with unusually sensitive olfactory senses, can share her massive obsession with food.
Because of my love for all things that give me nutritional sustenance, I get around a lot...around the eatery scene I mean, haha (p.s. I also like making bad jokes). When I'm not trying new foods, you can most likely find me returning/checking-out books at the Santa Monica Public Library. What I love about books, and why I have so much respect for great writers, is that they can organize thoughts and emotions, portray characters and exotic scenes in a way that transport us out of our day to day lives and into the world THEY want us to experience. You know you've read a really good book when it leaves you with an excitement for your own adventure. For me, this blog is a way to document my food and life adventures in this new chapter of my life...And if it saves even just one person from making the mistake of trying a mediocre restaurant, instead of experiencing an awesome eatery you would be proud to bring your cousin Julie from Boston to, let's just say "mission accomplished".
