Gastronomy By Joy Turns 1


To my Dear Readers and Followers,

I praise and thank the Lord Jesus Almighty above all!
This has been a one heck of an adventure for a less ordinary foodie-mom like me.   It took me a lifetime to consider this path, inconveniences which are adventures wrongly considered.   Not too many would give a damn on writing about their dining experiences and simple joy's in life and somehow spark some changes to many.   But this inconveniences, aptly considered, changed the way I see life now.
I am more thankful, more open in accepting opportunities and full of zest in my future endeavour.
I first blogged about my dining experience last October 29 of 2010.    An out-of-the-box experience for me, where my husband and I went all the way to Cavite to try out the only restaurant along Daang-Hari.    To my astonishment, the German owner of the restaurant commented on my post, saying that he was happy that we had a nice experience at their Italian restaurant.
Fifteen days from now will be the first anniversary of this blog, and I am aflame right now.    I have actually thought of some plans on how I could share that day with you!

So here's how:
I will be inviting three of my favorite top blogger friends who always reads and comments on my posts.   I have actually chosen Pages Deli, to host our little get-together and would like to have it on Oct. 29, that's a Saturday!   It's my treat or the tricks on me.   Aside from the sumptuous meal at a very dreamy place, we will also be having raffle offs of GC's and imported ingredients, and who would not like my cupcakes and chocolate treats!  A box of that will also be given away, My Pink Wasabi's Kashi Makis and more!


So, how does one qualify?
1.   You must be a blogger and one who is a follower of Gastronomy by Joy.  
  If you are not yet one just click on the FOLLOW link, and you instantly qualify.   
2.   I'm sure if you are a follower you must have read at least one or a few of my posts.   What I need you to do is choose from any of my reviews on food or restaurant, a post to your liking is much appreciated.
3.   Kindly comment on this post (HERE/below this post please) and tell me which post you chose and why?
4.   Along with your comment is your full name, contact numbers and e-mail address.
That's it!
No fuss, no frills! 

Cheers to more food reviews and more exciting gastronomic adventures ahead!

Much Love,

JOY F.

  2. Oh wow! I'd love that! I'll have my family in Italy know about that, their from ADIMEF-Milan church. It's nice to know that people, even overseas are touched by what I do for the sake of happiness and palate-satisfaction!

  10. Hi Joy, first of congratulations! more blogging years ahead! :)

    I wasn't able to blog hop lately because of my crazy schedule, so I only get to see this post now. I am trying my luck and join your wonderful contest :)

    Followed your blog's friend connect, and just like these lovely ladies, my favorite post is the one about Pages Deli because I share the same passion for food and written words. Your photos on that post are all ultimately hunger-inducing, to say the least :)

    Again, congratulations Joy, and I hope to be a part of your anniversary celebration :)
