Brussels, poker, parties, parents, Brussels and... Snow

Hey hey!

Hum...it seems everyday I get more lazy about sitting down and doing some writing! It has been 20 plus days but I'll try to catch up without being boring.

The first of November was the second Halloween party here in Delft... The first was on the 31st and was pretty crowded at Marcushof... The next evening I went with some spanish to Wolbodo and ended up meeting the rest of the people there...

Tim was doing the honours at the DJ position and the party was pretty funny... some pictures and a movie next!

On the second I went for a bicycle ride to visit the Delftse Hout and De Grote Plas... nice landscape :)

Entering the Park

The Lake

The lake once again

Yet once more

The evening on the city

Friday, the 7th I went to Brussels as I long promised Ana and the cousins... It was a very enthusiastic travel to Brussels... I got there late in the afternoon and then I've seen the house and the surroundings... Not much going on Friday, but Saturday started real early.

Woke up late in the morning... with a big effort... Maria Rui began what I felt like a ritual... waking me up! (everyday that I've been in Brussels, Maria Rui was the one who would wake me!)
The table was set to one of those FULL breakfast which I wasn't use to... obviously... but it felt nice ^^ Lunching in a portuguese restaurant, seeing the park in the afternoon and Brazilian club by night! Sunday was more about staying inside... and helping my cousin with the homework was a laugh :D

Nice disco looking bottle of vodka

The next weekend guess what? I went to Brussels once again... I met my parents in Rotterdam, walked a little had lunch... then came back to a much cosier city - mine! =)
Apparentely they enjoyed the city pretty much! I went back to Brussels with them to spend some more time together! After missing several trains that weekend I missed the train back to Delft Sunday, so I ended up staying yet another day :)

Love how everybody wakes up at 7 am like i'ts the most common thing in the world ^^

After another working week, the following Wednesday was pretty cool... it was Victor's B-day.
I got him a Porto bottle and everybody was very creative with the gifts... It was hard to fit everybody inside but i guess we managed pretty well in Vicky's room.

Birthday boy and the rest of the crowd

This last weekedn was fascinating.. Saturday snowed a little but sunday was like la piéce de resistence for me :D It snowed endlessly for the entire day... From the moment I woke up sunday, I got dressed and went outside basically to play ^^ I took i big amount of pictures and buildt a snowman and everything... thrown snowballs with a couple of people I met in the library roof... and so and so... The wind and kind of killing me... but I felft so good that sunday...
Here, check the pictures...

I wish I had some more pictures from the two poker nights but I don't. I can just mention how cool it was to play a black 8 seat round poker table with an actual dealer :D

The second night was at Harold's with just a few of us... still it was a really nice time!

hope you've enjoyed (parts at least)

Love,

Diogo
