Bonjour Manila!

There hasn't been any update in a while (sorry) because of the very hectic week that was. I have been temporarily relocated (by temporary, I mean a year) and have been busy with preparations for the move. I have just gotten connected to the Internet this morning (yay!) and have a bit of free time to give you readers (Hi, Ma!) an update before I head for work.

I'm still trying to get settled in, everything's so new to me. It's a whole new world and I admit, I'm a little scared (and kinna lonely) but we'll try to make things work and be as cheerful as possible. As you may have already guessed, I'm currently in France, in the city of Lyon to be exact. Incidentally, Lyon is considered as the French capital of gastronomy (it's fate, I tell you).

BaconTunaMelt in French colors (and a beret)!

It seems like fate that BaconTunaMelt is now in the city best known for its gastronomic delights. So, there's no need to worry. Although BaconTunaMelt will be on a slight hiatus (restos are expensive), we will still be up, and blogging about nomz of all kinds. So bonjour! Or hello, in English. Welcome to BaconTunaMelt, the French edition.

*BTW, the Redbox Rockstars Against Zombies contest is still up. Don't worry, you'll still get your prize if you win (we'll arrange something).

Contest Update: Bacon, Rockers, and Zombies

UPDATE (05/05/11): THE CONTEST IS EXTENDED UNTIL MAY 14, 2011. Hurry, you stil have time to join! :)

Hi guys! How'd your Easter holidays go? Mine was pretty uneventful, but that doesn't really mean it wasn't fun. Do you remember last week's contest about winning a rocking party night at RedBox by simply submitting a photo of you in your most rockin' rocker outfit while holding a weapon against zombies?

What's this super special prize, you ask? Well, here at BaconTunaMelt, we have a lifelong love affair with bacon. We sure hope you like bacon too, because as the super special prize, we're giving away 1 KILO OF (uncooked) BACON if your photo entry is one of the top 3 winners (if you indicated that you read about the contest on this blog).
