Lisboa /2

As I've mentioned before, about a month ago, I went to Lisbon with my parents and boyfriend. And we had a blast. And I want to show it.

Ribeira das Naus

The second day, we went to Belém. If you ever go to Lisbon, never skip this part of town. It's not that close to the historic centre but it's definitely worth the tram ride. It's got the Torre de Belém, the Ponte de 25. Abril (a copy of the Golden Gate Bridge in SF) but most importantly... it's got the pasteis de Belém. Thé. Best. Pastries. I. Ever. Tasted.

I can't believe it's been more than two weeks that I've been to Lisbon. After two weeks of work, I already took my first days off and went to Lisbon with my parents and boyfriend. We lucked out with the weather (25+ °C) and enjoyed a beautiful city. As you can see from the pictures below:

September.

September's been a busy busy month. So busy that I forgot to take pictures. As you see:

1. I started working! // 2. Saw Get Ready perform (which was very nostalgic for me) // 3. Went to Pairi Daiza and saw the pandas // 4. AND came very very close to an elephant. Probably the closest I'll ever get! // 5. First (and last) time at a disco (La Rocca) // 6. Boyfriend letting me know he came home safely // 7. Later that week he found a lizard // 8. And we ended the month with great weather and ice cream!

Salmon wraps.

As you may have noticed, I'm kind of struggling to find a new routine that works for me ever since I've been working. I might have taken on a little more than I can handle. The only free time I usually have is on Wednesday evening and all I want to do then is napping. But I'm trying to make it work! It might take some time to find a balance again but I promise I'll find it eventually.

Starting with one of my favorite appetizers; salmon and philadelphia bites. I don't really throw parties, but if I would, this would definitely be on the menu. It's quick, delicious and a little bit sophisticated (even if I say so myself). Want to know how to make these yummy little bites? Find out here ;)

August.

Wow. It's been a long long time since I've last been here. Since I've started working, I've been crazy busy. Not only do I work now, but I also take a French class, a cooking course ànd started doing yoga again. Don't get me wrong, I love being busy but sometimes it's nice to just lay in bed all day.
Anyway. With some delay, here's what I've been up to in August:

1. Watching a Clouseau performance // 2. Snapchatting the boyfriend on the train // 3. his respons // 4. Watching the sunset in Nieuwpoort // 5. Juice time @Wijnegem Shopping Center // 6. Watching another performance. This time of Coely @Jour Tibour // 7. Enrolled in a cooking class // 8. I PETTED A GIRAFFE! HIGHLIGHT OF MY SUMMER/LIFE // 9. Got a job and celebrated! // 10. saying goodbye to Leuven. I'll miss you. // 11. Last breakfast in Leuven + 'I found a job'-treat // 12. Reading // 13. Eating burgers @Burgerfolie // 14. moving my 'kotstuff' back home // 15. Late birthday diner.
