Updates

Ciao everyone! How are you all doing this weekend? :D
Mine is all about going out with a friend, relaxing and looking after myself by going to the gym and eating healthy (at least I'm trying my best!).


I'm writing this post to let you all know that I want to be more active on this blog. I know, I've said this a million times before on my old posts but this time I'm really working hard to improve who I am and what I do. 
I started this blog and my youtube channel age ago because I really loved the idea of sharing my adventures, the creativity that I have inside of me, the passion for technology, the things I do and the thoughts that my head is always full of. 
Even though I went trough same hard years that made me neglect many things, I never forgot this online space that I opened when I had the urge to scream to the Earth how beautiful actually this Life is.

So I'M BACK once again to scream because even though I shut myself, I never stoped collecting great memories with family and friends at home or around the world. 
So stay tune for my next posts because while I was absent here, I actually visited different countries here in Europe and eat way too much. You might have seen some glimpses on my instagram and if you didn't, make sure to follow me on it (INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/_melanihe_).  

Anyway thank you always for sticking with me and love you guys very much!

Much Needed Time Off

Ciao people! I know, first of all I want to start by apologizing for disappearing for such a long time. It was never my intention to be so not consistent into updating the blog page that I started ages ago with such a passion for it.
I won't lie, I did go through a very hard time once I started university some year ago and that had repercussions on the rest of my life till last year, when I finally reach out for help. 

If you are new to my page I would like to introduce myself once again. Hi! My name is Melani and I was born and raised in Italy even though both of my parents are from the beautiful Sri Lanka, ranked top county for travel in 2019 by Lonely Planet magazine!! 😁

Since I was a kid I always had this sense of wanting to get to know things. To explore and get to know everything that was around me, never just to ignore and go on. I've always been a curious girl with the passion of books and the outside world, curious of technology that during my childhood was having an actual boom; what was new one day, right the next one was old news. 
Some times even too mature for her age. 
A determined girl willing to show how powerful and capable she was, maybe because being born in a country where everyone is visibly different from you, we were often not very looked upon. For that reason I was never able to stepped on someone. My nature is more of a listener and a silent fighter for what I want to achieve and show! 
I always believed into having a good education, on studying and working hard in school thanks especially to my Mom. I always did great and the hard work always payed off. But on my last year of high school I was so tired that I though of having a gap year before starting university. Unfortunately, for many reasons that I don't want to explain now, I didn't get the chance and went straight into university after passing the exam for Biomedical Engineering. I always wanted to be a doctor (ahah very asian of me 😂) but after not passing the exam, I tried for my other big passion, engineering and as I said before I passed into a course that I thought was the perfect balance between my two big loves: medicine and computer science engineering. At the same time during that year I discovered how I loved photography and writing. That's the time I started this blog probably pushed by the need of freeing my mind on such a stressful time of my life...and that was is!  I was actually very happy at the time but life hits you and it hit me quite hard.

My first year of uni went by so quickly. Officially adulting far from home and far from my parent for the first time, I was not happy with my choices.
 But I didn't know how to tell someone. I was disappointed of myself for thinking such things and almost ashamed for wanting to change uni course after working so hard to get into it and always being such a clever kid. 

That's the biggest mistake that us humans do! We are too hard on us and that's not good at all. We are not perfect machines, so we are allowed to make mistakes! It's totally normal. At 18/19 years all we might have is an idea of what we want to be growing up or what we want to do in life. But it doesn't mean that if that target doesn't go as planed then you are done forever. You MUST keep calm and reach out for help if you feel like you lost yourself, because you are just 18/19 and till that age you were always helped somehow from your parents. So put aside your ego and get help because our parents will do anything, they always did till at that age. If you can't reach out for your parents then ask help from a friend, a counselor, a teacher...a adult!! 

It took me quite a while before I understood that. So last year I was helped from my parents once I put aside my fear of telling them on how I was feeling and what was going on with me. I left Biomedical Engineering and tried another test for Computer Science Engineering and I did pass for it!! So now I'm on my second year ☺️

It's not easy at all to start all over again. Trust me, it's not at all so if you are in a same situation as mine don't give up but keep pushing it, because hard work is always paid off at the end!
 Just remember to be sincere to yourself. If you feel something, listen to it and don't be scared to talk with anyone. We didn't come on this world alone, so we are not alone once we are here 💐

Let's look after each other. Mental health is important. I am important, you are important, we all are important!  If I did it, you all can do it too.

Much love from a very happy Melani. Thank you to all of those who have helped me to get back on track and work on being always the better version of myself! 
LOVE YOU MAMMA AND PAPA' and thank you all for sticking around even when I was absent. Stay tune for my journey...the journey of life!

Cheers for this blog and the future blog post I'm already working on! 
CIAOOO!

T H A I L A N D: Day 2

Nothing much to say I think the pics speak louder than any words. These are the pics, obviously not aaall the photos that I took the second day but at least these are the one that I like the most!

The second was a real chill day. We walked around Bangkok, looking at all the street vendors placed everywhere with all amazing things that they sell.

Hope you enjoy the pics and see on the next post with the photos of the 3rd day!

THAILAND BABY!!

Yes!! One of my many dreams came true. ✌.ʕʘ‿ʘʔ.✌

I finally landed (and already got back) to the amazing Thailand and I'm sooo excited!! 

THIS [above] is what I wrote (the first rows of this post) 7 months ago when I just came back from Thailand!

I started to write this post, when we (me & my mum) were in our beautiful hotel room, while my mum was opening all the laguages :) but I never ended :( 

I'm really sorry for not writing anything for months and months, but I had my final high school exams this year so I had to put all of myself for school and on nothing else!

AAAAnyways ... NOW I'M BACK! :D

During our 5 days (and four nights) we housed right in the city center, in a hotel called Bangkok Palace. Tooo be honest...our hotel from the out side was not a good view. I mean, it was a taaall white building full of windows right in the middle of the capital....so nothing much from the outside BUUT from the inside >.< I don't have any word to say! It was really reeeally NICE...so posh looking!!! And the people that worked there were very helpful too!   

If you want to have any info... here the link for their website: http://www.bangkokpalace.com and this is how it looks from the outside 

The morning of the departure was so crazy!! We woke up at 3 a.m and my mum's friends came around 15 minutes to 5 a.m. We arrived to the Colombo airport in Sri Lanka, but we were a bit late so we had to run for the check-in. After that we went to this lounge called Lotus Lounge and it was pretty cool! I mean...I can't even remember how long has passed since the last time I stayed in a lounge!! We had breakfast and then we had to get in the plain! 

I love traveling but I've got a terrible issue! I suffer plain-sickness (I'm not even sure if it excist). That means I get sick as soon as I get, not even in the plain, but in the airport!!! I feel so sick that I can't eat anything (impossible thing with me) and those little things that I drink or eat...I throw up all!! >_<  

Anywaaaays...without talking about my strange sickness, after more or less two or there hours later, we arrived to the international airport of Bangkok. 

In the next posts I'll talk about my amazing 5 days in Bangkok, otherwise this post is going to be a freaking looong one! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO SEE, DO AND BUY!

So keep on look forward to my future articles and don't forget to leave any comment, give a thumbs up or why not, follow this blog!

I would really love it!!

Byeee and see youuu!!

XOXO

Power of Nature!!

Just for fun I took a couple of pics in August at Sirmione.

Sirmione is a beautiful town near Lake Garda and in summer is really amazing: full of tourists, wonderful weather, huge ice-creams XP and...really FULL OF LIFE!! 

One day with my dad, during his off day, we went there for a walk and the weather was soo good that we could see the small villages, hills and mountains that were on the other side of the lake!! So when it was time to go and twilight was there, on the other side there was a summer thunderstorm while on our side no sign of rain. I had my reflex with me and so I could take some pic and looking at them I decided to create a short video and post it on my YouTube Channel! 

The link for my channel is: youtube.com/HeyMelani

I did not :)

I did it! Finally I created a YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!

The name of the channel is: HeyMelani and this is

it the link:  http://m.youtube.com/HeyMelani

If you have time you can go and check it out!

I love it! I always loved YouTube...I can remember since I was small I spent hours and hours watching any type of video! 

This is not...really...my first video! Opened an other channel before around May or June but I messed up with the name of the channel (I didn't like it...hihihi), the quality of my videos was not the best and then I messed up with the settings sooo at the end of the story...I deleted  it! But now I'm much happier with this new one 'cause I learned how to edit video better and how does youtube work!

I would like to upload videos of me while doing anythig like: me traveling somewhere or doing some sketches or even doing some challenges maybe with my bestfriends and why not? maybe some makeup tutorial! :D

Anyways go and CHECK OUT my channel and if you can maybe even leave any COMMENT, THUMBS-UP or SUBSCRIBE!!
