April Showers Brings A Full Month Celebration

Woes! Sad April is now past and May has begun. However, I'm glad I spent my birthday month filled with fun and events! I had the opportunity to fly to Los Angeles and Orange County with my partner in crime and celebrate not just one birthday (my own birthday celebration) but also including my best friend's birthday, my significant other's food tour and a bride-to-be. We had a grand time! Dined non-stop throughout the weekend and checked out amazing stops for our "Foodchella" vacation! Below are some photos from my trip. I'm sure you'll notice, most featured are boba drinks. I'm a huge fan of boba!

Aside from fun and events, I've slowly gained a following for followers and readers through my Instagram accounts: @foodiefro and @globetrottingstories. I'm glad things are taking off to some extent and gaining insight and support from close friends and family. I've also created a fantastic Facebook page for creative food bloggers and Instagram accounts to follow Instagram Foodie Community. I am hoping the page will come to great use for inspiration, audience engagement and moreso hopefully meet and openly discuss with like-minded individuals who share the same passion for food!

Besides my birthday trip and working on a larger scale for more followers and audience engagement, I've also celebrated a few weddings, my own surprised birthday and exploring much of my own city! Of course, I've had the opportunity to dine and drink at a few new places I've been dying to try. All were dangerously delicious and I wouldn't mind coming back! Below are a few photos.

Of course, after looking over the course of April, I sure had a lot of adventures! Especially when I wanted to celebrate the last day of the month for National Bubble Tea Day on April 30th!! Look at all the drinks I bought from the photo below!

Sure enough, I can't wait to see what's in store for the month of May. I have yet another trip coming up. This time I'll be in Canada! Keep your eyes open for my next blog post!
