30 August 2018: Tying up loose ends.

Dear readers, I am sorry, I have failed to keep my promise, so I am making up for it now. When I started this project and blog, I said I would round it up and donate the money at the end of 2017, or maybe early 2018. It's august now, and I found out (as I have several times) that I did not donate the money yet. Now, I promised to double the money, but I decided to do more than that: The total donation's amounted to €77,02. I added €122,98 to make a nice round total of €200. And, I just donated the money to the Dutch branch of the WCRF, which is the WKOF. As soon as I received the confirmation, I will post it here as well. Thank you to everyone who read my blogs, and who went with me on this journey! Sincerely, Dimitri Don't read on if you are not interested in me personally, nor in sensitive or heavy subjects. Now for some full disclosure about the how and why: The last blog post I made was the first week of January, and I was tired back then. Not lon

7 January 2018: Holiday tiredness ensues

Hey all, I'm very sorry, I haven't gotten around to finishing everything up yet. I am way, way more tired than I thought, from new year's eve, and a hectic week before and after. And what time and energy I do have, I currently invest in school, as I have a test week in a week. I will fix it all soon. Best to all! Dimitri

Happy new year! It's the first day of 2018, and I've shaved, as I would. I will post pictures and video later. I will tally up all donations tomorrow, and double-check if I have not missed any. Best wishes, Dimitri

Day 182 of 184: 29 December 2017: just a few more days, and a reminder where we started

Afbeelding
Hey all! It's almost new year.. I hope everyone has had great holidays so far, and I wish you all the best for 2018! For me, I've had great holidays with my family. It's been an amazing month, full of fun, thankfulness, expectance and more. Now the end of my project is within reach, I think I can only appreciate more what I have. Some words of wisdom from me (and yes, some of them are said may times before, by many people): Be thankful with what you have. Don't judge others, you never know what they are (or have been) going through. And: talk. Communication is important. Dare to ask, dare to share. It's hard, I know (trust me, I've had plenty of trust breaks), but it helps. May the new year be even better than the old one! To many more! Cheers! Dimitri As a reminder, this is where we started: Day 1, almost 6 months ago

Day 168 of 184: 15th of December 2017: Conclusions and resolutions

Dear readers, The year is nearing it's end, and so is my project. I have not been up to much the last month, as I first had to take 3 weeks of antibiotics for a heavy infection, and then (which is now) became ill, as my immune system was weakened. But, my appartement is looking nicer every few days, as I, with help, get more and more things organised and where I want them. My hair, especially the facial hair, is more a burden than anything. I might continue to grow my hair, up to donation length, but I don't count on it. This, because my hair had grown about 3-4 centimetres in the first 2 months, but only another 3 centimetres in the last 3,5 months. So my hair is currently about 6 centimetres, which is nowhere near enough for donation. Thus, growing it to proper lengths takes a year or two, and maybe I will never reach that, per genetics. I have had my hair 'really long' in my puberty, I found some pics in my google photos, and it looked ridiculous, as it be

Day 153 of 184: 30th of November: The final month approaches: I'll match donations (For every €1 given, I also give €1)

Dear readers, It's been way too long, and I'm so sorry! I could make all kinds of excuses (I got busy with school, then I got sick, this is all true) but it doesn't matter. It's no use crying over spilled milk. However, I will actively set out to make up for something this last month, by posting samll updates more regularly. Since a few weeks I have been thinking about how I would trim my beard, and what not. I think I might even shave using my bushcraft survival knife, as that seems like a cool thing to do, and it is razor sharp anyway. If I do so, I'll make a video of it and share it in the google album. I might video the shaving anyway, but will probably just take pictues. Another thing I decided, as donations are low, is to match donations. I am not super rich, but I can miss the money easily, and this feels right. So, feel free to donate, so we can all help to fund research against cancer. Yours sincerely, Dimitri P.S. “If you have built ca
