Bloggiversary!

Hi guys! I'm still behind in getting reviews of places in Malaysia up (even after I've been home in Melbourne for two weeks...) and am hoping to get Melbourne places up again soon (working on it!)

However, this little post is just to intervene and say...

It's my Bloggiversary!

My blog is officially one year old, which honestly is just baffling to me.

I could never have thought that I would actually continue actively doing this for so long! It all just simply started from a brother's tutor holiday project. Take pictures of all your meals.

The habit kind of stuck with me, especially since I was traveling a fair bit and my family, even though I guess I wasn't fully aware of it until more recently, really are crazy and passionate about food and we always end up eating quite interesting things.

So as I started enjoying eating out more as family took me out, I continued the trend back home in Melbourne and started going out with my friends for meals and taking pictures of everything for facebook.

Lo and behold, someone says I should write reviews, make a blog of all the places I eat at. And well, here we are now.

Whilst I still have many things I would like to do with this blog (work more on the layout for one), I am quite amazed at how much blogging I have actually done and definitely have continued to be encouraged and pushed by my best friend David and my wonderful boyfriend Brad, who always unwittingly end up being my dining partners most of the time. Twas David who strongly suggested I start using my Nikon DSLR when eating and it's one of the best things in my opinion, I continue my love of taking photos and I get to eat as well. Awesome!

Evan (who would dine with me waay back in late Uni years), myself, Brad and the ever lovable David.

All my other friends and family have also been so amazingly supportive, my family often helping me rearrange the food or helping compose a picture by finding a neat way to lay out the cutlery around the dish, and of course, being patient enough while I run around taking pictures of everything before the food is eaten! I have honestly been so surprised at how well friends have taken to me quickly snapping pictures before meals, I have never been once rushed or teased about it.

I have also loved getting to know the food blogger community and it really is a tight knit community! It's always inspiring to read other blogger's views of things and motivating to do more work on my blog!

So here's to another year of eating and eating very well!
