I'm also curious if anyone actually reads this blog xD Might be more interesting for me to post on this blog more often if i got any lifesigns from any readers that might be out there xD
I can soon celebrate the 1 year anniversary since my last received comment (10th march).
I do receive spam comments though but the spam filer takes care of those, and i kinda don't look through them a lot. Mostly they are not related to my topics at all, or saying my blog is very interesting and very meaningful to read, which i highly doubt =p They also always add a link to their own blog.
Hopefully my spam filter didnt put any genuine comments in the spambox, if it did i apologise deeply and i would like if you added a comment on my facebook page then so i can un-spam it :D
So, since i arrived in Belgium i have joined 2 vegan dinners in Antwerpen and there i got some new vegan friends. The dinners were so that you could choose to bring vegan food or pay 10 €.
For the first dinner i brought rösti (I also call them potato pancakes xD They are made of grated potatoes, vegetable oil, salt and pepper, then cooked like pancakes on both sides).

For the 2nd dinner i brought chocolate cake and kakemenn. Of course the food i didn't make was most interesting to me on these dinners. It's nice to try new foods that i didn't cook myself. The food was very delicious! =D

Big thanks to the tofu wanderer for arranging this event! =D Hope there will be more events like this in the future! =D
There are sometimes some events around in Antwerpen, and i like to keep updated and join a bit here and there to spice up my life a bit, like for instance those vegan dinners. There was also a valentine's run that i thought would be fun to participate in, so i figured out 1.5 weeks before it was that i would like to join, so i signed up for it. I've been wanting to participate in a race for some years now, and this was my chance to make it happen! I'm also in horrible shape with no condition at all... So i wondered a bit how i could get superfit in 1.5 weeks. Even running up stairs makes me totally out of breath (i have a bad habit of running up stairs instead of walking).
I tried to practice a bit by jogging in the park, but sadly it didn't seem to do any miracles. Also my diet consisting of chips, nuts, soda and cookies didn't seem to make it better :x So i went for the run totally out of shape, hoping i wouldn't be the last to reach the finish line xD
Because this was a fun run we were encouraged to dress up in valentine's theme costumes. I guess more than half had something to do with love on their outfits for the run. Personally i had an i-love-you-heart sewed to the back of my hat. I kinda wanted to do more too, but i didn't really find anything usable in my closets, so i figured it was good enough =p
There were people who didn't do any valentine's stuff at all too, so i'll consider myself inbetween the dressed and the undressed ones =p I enjoyed watching the costumed people there. Some ran as a love boat, others as bees, cupids, hearts, angels, and there was even a couple in marriage outfit (not real brides dress though =p). There were prices for best outfits after the race and for random lucky people (i wasn't lucky).

There wasn't a timer for this race so i used an app on my phone to track my distance and time. You could choose between running 5 km or 10 km. I couldn't choose which one to do, so i started running the 5 km one, but then i changed my mind when 5 km ones had to run to the goal line, so i started running the 10 km one, but i quickly got tired, so decided to run to the goal line. So i did 6 km in 45 minutes which is a new record for me =D There was another girl too who also ran 6 km.
Surpricingly i slowly jogged the whole way almost without breaks, which is very new for me =D Normally i need breaks all the time! It was easier and more fun to keep up the running when there were other people running too though =p
Here you can see some more photos from the valentine's run. Hope i can participate on more runs in the future cuz it was really fun =D
I guess this is a long enough post for now, more to come later in some hours, days, weeks or months xD
