Today mark the day that me and my boyfriend have been together for 6 months and we decided to celebrate it the way we know best. Great food and amazing entertainment.
On August the 18th 2019 was the first time I sent Nathan a message and our friendship journey had begun. Fast forward to January 18th of this year we figured out that we had developed close feelings towards each other and decided to give the long distance relationship a try.
As with all LDR’s (long distance relationship) we had our ups and downs, but we still haven’t had a single argument that haven’t resolved. The more we spent time with each other the more we discovered that we were really similar in many different ways. He surprised so many times with his opinions and just the way he thought and the way he based his decisions, because I was used to being with guys who didn’t have a lot on their minds when it came to a lot of things. I could go on and on about what has made Nathan so special to me. but then you would be stuck here for a while.
Short after we got together we had already made a strong emotional connection and there was no doubt that I really wanted to meet him in real life, but because of Covid-19 that wasn’t possible until June when summer started and a lot of restrictions had lightened up. Belgium had also gone from having the country on complete lock down to be forced to open up! So after I got my vacation weeks granted I booked a ticket and was set to travel the 13th of June.
We started our day pretty quietly with us just hanging out in the apartment doing our own things. Then when the time was around 4.30 Pm we prepared our self to head out. Nathan had resaved a table at a restaurant in the city who specialises on spare ribs. So we took our usual bus and walked to Groenplaats. The place we were eating was called Amadeus. We headed over to make sure we made it for our reservation.
When we arrived we decided to sit inside and the interior was so amazing filled with ALOT of books and incredible different items. There was a fruit machine, a clock etc. So after I was done being amazed by the surroundings we ordered. To no surprise we both ordered the spare ribs. The thing about this place that Nathan told me about was that this place not only specialise in spare ribs but you also get “all you can eat” spare ribs for only 20 € they also give you more baked potato if you want that too. So not only was the food delicious but if you are really hungry, in the mood for spare ribs and have a big stomach this is definitely worth it. The waiters was walking around with plates filled with spare ribs and potato’s for when you wanted another one. I had total of 2 whole ribs and Nathan had 2 1/2 spare ribs before we decided we were satisfied. Plus we couldn’t stay too long since we had a movie to catch a the cinemas
After we had eaten it was straight to the Cinema called “Kinopolis”. To get there we went with the tramline. The movie we had booked was called “The courier” featuring Benedict Cumberbatch which is one of my favorite actors. It was a war movie categorised as Thriller. Me being a huge fan of history found it super intersting although I did have some trouble when the actors were speaking Russian because there were only French or Dutch subtitles, so most of the time I just had to guess what was happening based on the context. It all worked out in the end and it was an amazing experience. I cried once during one scene. So I would defiantly recommend this to anyone who are interested in history or if you just want to se another movie featuring Benedict.
When the movie was over we had a nice walk home and thankfully the weather had gone down which made the walk even more pleasant. When we got home we just relaxed and I gave him his present.
Hope you guys had an amazing weekend and that no one is dying of the heat and as always stay healthy and stay safe.
