Hello 2022! Hello New Year! I have been away for quite some time.
But I should be back with more things to blog this year!
I hope everyone is having a great start of the year. Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and read my writings. I truly appreciate it.

After much thought, I have decided to go with the blog name that I’ve always wanted. While it’s still available, I went ahead and got it. I thought about it over and over again. But I thought it was best to do it while it’s still early in the year. So here’s to a new start. 🙂
After today, I will only be posting at www.happyfoodtrip.com
I hope I see you there!
I was about to decide to abandon this blog. I had accummulated photos and videos. But I never seem to post them. As if by act of fate, this blog got renewed. I was under the impression that it won’t renew until a month later. But it did. Fortunately, there is an option to cancel and get a refund. However, you don’t really get all of your money back since the auto renewal also renewed the domain name and something else about the domain. We don’t really need to talk about all the details on that.
I thought about it. Then I thought about how I was not as committed as I had hoped to be. I was thinking maybe this was a way that would force me to do more on this blog.
I need to just post stuff and not think about it so much. I thnk that’s what happens. I would take photos and videos but I don’t make the time to post it. Or when I do have time, I try to think which ones to post first. Should I post the photos first? Should I edit the videos? Should I wait until I post this next one? So it became such a hassle.
I’m just not going to overthink it. I’ll just go back to my original goal, for this blog, was to create a space where I can put my photos and videos of different food and places that I’ve experienced. We’ll try it again this year. 2019, be good to me.
I have seen it in a video once of someone was eating ramyun noodles with cheese. I decided to try it out. This was the video that I’ve recorded when I first had it almost about a year ago. I have tried it several times again after that. It’s a very interesting taste. I wouldn’t […]
The first of the many flights that we’ll have for the next 2 days. It’s going to be the longest 2 days for both Chris and I with all the flights that we have in line just to get to our destination.
See you later,

I know it should say “the journey begins”, but the journey has began long time before this blog has been created. I have been contemplating over and over to start a blog. I have started so many blogs over the years but have not been that interested to update them.
Over a decade ago, I had a blog. I loved that blog. I posted so many things including the many different events that I’ve been to, places I’ve visited, the people I’ve spent time with, and most of all, the food I’ve eaten.
I’ve always been known by friends to take photos of everything, including food! Yes, I’ve done that before phone cameras had a 1 megapixel resolution camera attached to it. At that time, I was using my canon powershot point & shoot camera. I loved that camera. It was so simple and I was able to take lots of great photos of my daily life.
There were so many things to post then. I was working a radio station as an on air personality. I was seen hosting on different local events and have had regular listeners on the radio and also regular viewers of my blog. At that time “vlogging” wasn’t a thing, but I did start posting videos on youtube as well. The videos were mostly of my dogs.
My blog at that time consisted of many different memories. One day, the website that was hosting my blog had to end its services. The company gave us an option to download our website / blog. But I disregarded it until it was too late. At that time, I didn’t really think anything of blogging as something as a career. It was really more of my hobby. A hobby that I have justified with myself on why I loved taking photos of everything. It really made sense. Why would I have these many photos and not post them.
Being on the radio before, it allowed me to be a story teller. Being away from the radio for almost a decade, made me feel like I need a venue for my story telling. No, I’m not a novelist or a writer. I just like sharing stories of food, places and experiences that I thought would be of great help or pleasure for people viewing my blog.
Even though, I’ve long lost the blog that I’ve created more than a decade ago. I thought that this new blog will be good place to restart my blogging days. I don’t know if I can make up with that much lost time in the blogging world. But my life behind that was so beautiful that I couldn’t believe I didn’t get to share it.
Here’s my chance to share my stories and my world. I hope that it will at least make you smile. I am truly excited to start posting my photos. I am kicking myself in the behind why I waited this long. Oh well, no time for regrets now. We just have to keep moving forward.
What you can take from this blog, is like having a glimpse of my crazy life and my crazy obsession with food, travel and my family life.
Nice to meet you and welcome to my blog. 🙂
Don’t forget to say hi!
Smile Always,
Ainee
Thanks for joining me on this journey!
