Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. ~Mark Twain

I love food and I just wish I can get this out of my mind. I want to  share the experiences of every party, food and drinks adventure I have.

I love to visit bars to see how people get crazy when they got drunk and how they look stupid. Most of all I wanna know how the drinks were made to make these people get mad for a period of time. It’s fun fun fun but when the night has gone…face the worst you have done!

I love food. I love people. I love to travel.

If you wish to share your party experiences, your bar photos, your food faves and your special drinks, I am willing to post it in my blog.
