34
I'm kinda late, since it's the 5th of April, but better late than ever.
Many things made me happy this month, especially because Spring came
early and everything is much better at Spring, so I tried to sum them
up into these 7 things. I hope your week started good, relaxed with
smaller doses of stress and many cups of coffee. :)
1. BIRTHDAY GIRL- INTERNATIONAL WOMAN'S DAY
All of you who know me know that my birthday is on 8th of March which is
International Woman's Day, and I couldn't be more proud to be born on
this amazing day. Every once a year we are united even more than before
and reminded of how much it's amazing being a strong, powerful,
independent woman. I celebrated my birthday three times this year
hahaha, and had so much fun with my boyfriend, friends and my aunt and
uncle who are the closest family I have here in Rijeka. I love birthdays
and I love my birthday because I'm reminded that no matter how old you
get, what matters is how old are you in your head, so never lose your
inner child. :) Also, I got amazing presents like this Sisley mid black
skirt I wanted for ages, or lace bralette. My girls were such sweethearts,
they know I love cacti and got me two more, and one friend made me this
lovely cacti necklace, so now I'm a crazy cactus lady because my little
home garden counts 16 of them and I can wear one around my neck at all
time. :)
2. FIRST BREEZES OF SPRING ON MY SKIN
That
day Marija and I went on a photo session at Pećine which is like a beach
in Rijeka, but much prettier and cleaner because Rijeka is not so much
of a tourist city, so people don't leave dirt behind them. Also it was
mid March and no one expected it to be this warm, so we had the beach to
ourselves. We ate vanilla muffins, drank wine, took amazing photos and
got reminded how little things in life matter most. :)
3. MADE MEXICAN FOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME
This one is the only one without the photo, because it was gone in a
second hahah. I'm actually really proud of myself for cooking like that
because I remember I couldn't make proper eggs at my first year of
college, and look at me now, a cook and a half. I made lunch for my
boyfriends family day after my bday celebration with the girls and then
again for my aunt and uncle for Eater week later. It inspired me to cook
and try all kind of new amazing food, so I promise next time, photos are gonna be included. :)
4. FIRST HOLIDAY TOGETHER+ MARKO NASTIĆ
Every holiday I come back to my home town to spend it with my parents
because I only see them three times a year so my boyfriend and I never
spent one together until this year :) I had one more exam left from the
first semester and had to stay here, because I would lose much time on
traveling back and honestly, I never study when I'm with my mom because
we always need time to catch up and have so much fun wandering around,
going to shopping and all the girly stuff. But, that weekend for Easter
celebration, Marko Nastić, a Serbian DJ who I absolutely love played at
'Church' (that's actually the name of a club haha) here in Rijeka, so my
boyfriend and I spent our first holiday together at an amaying party,
but what is most importantly, together. :)
5. FOALS
Recently my boyfriend (Filip, I'm just gonna write Filip from now on
because it's much shorter than boyfriend) and I started listening to
Foals. They're an amazing british band and I got totally obsessed with
some of their songs, particularly one in the link below, so check it out,
you may like them too. :)
6. PASSED MY FINAL EXAM FROM WINTER SEMESTER
It was one from gothic art, and it went easier than I expected. I always
have this fear of not passing so I don't even go for a try unless I
learned the content from a to z, but this one went great. It's not so
much of a big deal, but it is for me because now I've passed all my
winter subjects and can devote myself to spring semester and all the
subjects that come with it, so well done me. :)
7. FIRST TRAIN RIDE FROM RIJEKA TO VINKOVCI
I love trains and it's just an amazing thing to travel by train and get
into some soul-searching. I would always travel by bus but since the
Spring came, I thought it would be a shame to miss the sun rising and
warm air flowing through my hair when I open all the windows and just
enjoy existing. 9 hours felt like nothing because I couldn't remember
the time before that when I was able to just free my mind and not think
about all the obligations that are waiting for me when I come back. I
spent some time at Vinkovci with my parents, and had so much fun, but
that's now all in the 7 joys of April which are coming at the end of the
month. :) Also, I'll do a traveling series of the photos I took during
that time, so keep posted. Sea of love, S.
