No zombie apocalypse yet, but here are two things:

1. I heard about Mealshare a few days ago, and their fundraiser, Tonight for Tomorrow, happening on May 10, 2017. Basically, you eat at one of the participating restaurants, and they’ll donate $1 for each $1 spent to provide food for youth. Simple as that, right? I’m always skeptical about non profits and how much of the proceeds actually go to their cause, but this seems pretty legit. I’ve been to a only a few restaurants on the list for their fundraiser, including Fable Diner

This was the milkshake that had Nutella in it. Also contains peanut butter and chocolate syrup. Pretty awesome. Wouldn’t mind coming back to try all the other milkshakes.

To be honest, we came here last October for R’s birthday, and I think I had the eggs benedict. They didn’t really stand out for me, but the milkshakes sure did. C had the toast with all the greens on top. M had some trucker breakfast, with fat pieces of meat and eggs that looked amazing.

Anyways, you need to eat anyways, right, so why not go to one of these restaurants on May 10th?

2. Ran the Sun Run this year, and finished it in 1hr7min, which means I knocked off a minute from last year, but I’m still so slow. I usually motivate myself by imaging zombies chasing after me, and wondering whether I’d actually survive because everybody else is so fast. I also focus on the bananas and chocolate milk at BC Place afterwards, but THIS YEAR WAS A DEVASTATING DISAPPOINTMENT. Where was the chocolate milk?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

PS - I’m outta here Vancouver! No posts for the next week because I’ll be in Toronto then the Cayman Islands. Find me on Instagram!
Got bored, went out for a drive and ended up at Choco Coo for some late night dessert. Getting fat will plump out my wrinkles.

From left to right, top to bottom: Mint Dark Hot Chocolate; Tiramisu, Hazelnut Cake, Matcha Mousse

The matcha mousse had a waffle layer and was by far the best choice. Don’t bother with the Hazelnut or Chocolate Cakes, they’re not bad but also not that special. I’d come back to get the matcha mousse again if I'm in the hood, and try their other desserts, if I felt like going for a long drive again some day.

Sun Run today and I finished the 10km in 1hr8min. I blame my runners that gave me a HUGE blister for not being able to finish it in under 1 hour. Also, not enough cardio in the past few months. I think I’ll start training or at least doing more cardio.

Bonus picture: cat wants to go out.

Participated in my 2nd Sun Run! Time of 1hr06min. 

Stayed out till 5 in the morning on Friday night (Saturday morning?). Lily Allen & T-Pain come to mind, although the conversation was definitely not boring.
