GETTING CRAZY!!

OMG ≧_≦  

I'm really getting crazy!! On the 4th of December (2013) my mum left! ╥﹏╥ 

No...She didn't left leaving me and my dad forever alone! ahaha! 

She left for SRI LANKAAA!! And I'm sooo jealoooous ╥﹏╥ I haven't been there since December 2010 and I miss my whole family there! That's because only my dad and my mommy emigrated to Italy (dad almost 30 years ago and mom almost 20). So sometimes this fact is very annoying when it's Summer, Christmas time, Halloween or even Easter!

BUT! On the 18th of this month I'M GOOOOING THERE!! And I really can't wait! I have so many things to do or see.

This year will be great fun 'cause only me and my mom are staying there while my dad is not coming because of his work. It's difficult for us going all together, the reason is that we get more tired then the entire working year because everybody want us for dinners, lunches or for anything else. So we run...like really running everywhere!!! 

And I can wait 'cause we are going to Thailand tooooo!! 

So I hope this week flights away as soon as possible!!

Let's keep our fingers crossed...at least mine!!

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!

I'm COMPLETE!

I'm finally complete! I already started school almost one month ago but...that's not the reason why I'm complete; the real reason is that two days before I started school (10th of September 2013) my mum finally bought me a thing that I was craving for a reeally long time and dreaming since I can't even remember! It's a thing that I always saw on those american movies...and...it's a POLAROID! 

Yes! One of those photo cameras that prints wide away! Like... "Click"...2 seconds later...."Gneeee"...and the photo comes out from a small hole! So amaziiiing! 

I'm in love! ❤️  It's such a funky and fun thing and it's even very very easy to use. Mine is not reaally a polaroid, it's a FujiFilm Instax mini 7S color?? CHOCOO! Yes I bought it in that color and here for you my choco polaroid and the first pic that I took:

YAAAY!

1st PIC!!

Kids of Africa!

One of the most beautiful thing that we saw in Tanzania since the first day we land there were...THE KIDS!! 

Yes they were the sweetest thing ever on earth because when we used to pass on the street the first day on the bus they waved us with a huge smile on the face without even knowing who we were or where we were coming from! Or even when we used to pass with our jeep true the small villages or anywhere we went...they always waved the hands and screamed a loud "CIAOO!" 

For us it was really surprising because if you go around here in Italy waving, smiling and saying "hi" to every one that you don't know they would probably call the police! No, noot reeeally the police...maybe someone...but the people around you would surely think that you are crazy or have some mental problems for smiling so much like we did in Tanzania! 

Not only the kids were waving us but even adults used to wave as too! Exactly like the kids...but without screaming "CIAOO!" :D

Here some of the pics that I took of the kids of our village and around where we went! (The kids were... EVERYWHERE... and... EVERY TIIIME! Like little... frogs!)

sad days :'[

I'm sorry! I didn't post anything for a really looong time! And a lot has been gone on this past one or two months! Happy and bad as well :'(

The happy thing...I'll talk about it in the next post but today I want to write about the very bad thing that hit our family...my dear nanda (nanda= in srilankan is aunty) DIED! She was my dad's big sister  and I had to tell him that his sister passed away all of a sudden! 

And what do you say in this occasions?? "I'm sorry"?! But sorry for what?? 

NO! This is not what do I feel! I felt sad, frustrated and guilty because I couldn't see her for 3 years and I think the worst thing to be a srilankan born and raise in Italy or in any other country that is not Sri Lanka, is that in occasions like this we can't just take a car for a 30 minutes ride and go see them! No!! We have to buy a 700-900 € ticket and then after 10-14 hours of flight we get there!! But it's anyways sad because you don't go there for an holiday but just for a funeral of a very loved person!! And...I know I kept telling this but it's sad...R.E.A.L.L.Y SAD! 

I know this is life: born, grow up, built a family, create great memories with all the people that you really really love but with just a thing called "death"...the people that you create memories with are...distorted inside with all the sadness of the world! 

I can tell all this because I saw it in my dad's eyes! He is a chef and now here in Italy is high summer season so he couldn't just leave the work place for a few days 'course otherwise he would lose the job! No...he wouldn't :) but...you know...is not fun not having a chef in a kitchen in high season! 

So yeah...what could we do? Nothing...I think it's just...L.I.F.E! Now the important thing is not thinking about the bad things but let's just think how MUCH YOU LOVED (and still love) even if I couldn't show it every time! 

So what I want to tell at the end is...to the people that you think are important show them THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE THAT YOU FEEL FOR THEM...ALWAYS! 

Yes...that's all I guess! Just for the last time...I'LL MISS YOU NANDA! <3 <3 :)

Oh shoot! I wish I had a beautiful picture of her right now!!

OMG!! ˙❤‿❤˙

=^ㅅ^=

Isn't she the cutest thing on earth??? Ok...this what happened yesterday night around 11.15 pm.

There was going to be a biiig storm here at Verona sooo me and my mum were on the balcony (because we live in an apartment on the second floor) and pulling inside the house all the flowers and many other things and...

we heard a small little kitty crying like crazy. At first I thought it was the kitty of our "on the left-neighbor" but later my mum looked down and she saw this small black dot on the floor moving everywhere! And I was like ❁o❁ 

Like a crazy I took a plastic plate, some milk and a torch and the Iphone and ran down to rescue that little thing! Like...like...eeehm...a...wonder-kitty-savior! ◭,◭  She was the cutest thing EVEEER! So friendly, playful, cuddly and small like a...yes, like a kitty ˙❤‿❤˙ 

I stayed there for maybe half an hour with my mum on the balcony and the "below-us-neighbors" on the balcony too talking with me; then a woman from the house in front of us came because she thought maybe it was her kitty...but she wasn't! But she took her anyways for the night because she had other kitties at home too :) 

The end of the story? It was the kitty of our on the left-neighbor! I can't really thing how that small animal jumped from a very high second floor!!! :O

Shaaazam! ✌

Ü ok...I'm...sorry! Didn't post for a really looong time! But anyways nothing special really happened in this first week of summer break...ups! :) It was soo intense that I....NEVER SLEPT SO MUCH! Seriously, never! 

But!! I'm not that much lazy  ◠‿◠ I cleaned the house, I went to the hospital for my little broken finger, I went to the lake for scuba diving (yes! One of my many passions is DIVING! ✌), cooked because cooking is another of my loong list of passions and I worked out a lot...a lot, sweating like a horse! >.< 

You might ask "what...did I cooked?"...no, you don't!? You are not even a bit curious?? ๏̯͡๏ Never mind! I'll tell you! For the first time I baked...MAACAROOOOONS! And...here the pics only for you special guys:

Shazaaam!

BOOOM!

dad's new hair style!

Hi everyone! Well, this----------------> what happened on tuesday! :) 

This man is my "Papà" (is how you tell dad in italian) his name is Upali and his off days are only tuesday. You may ask yourself what's his job...right? Even if you don't :) I'll tell you...he is a chef and maybe  that's the reason why I LOOOVE FOOOD! For real...I couldn't live without food! I know :( I've got an addiction...and my body proves it ;D

Anyway, I usually go out with my dad because it's the only day that I can hang out with him everywhere and this week we went grocery shopping, to the bank and window shopping in some shopping malls.             

Then we went to this place called 'Flover' and you can find any thing for the garden and I saw this little tree...and I thought "mmm...just like a wig" and this what happened at the end...ahaahahaha! He was hilarious!

How I told you guys before, we went to a shopping mall and he bought me a new nail polish...so freaking beautifuuuul!

beautiful

THIS...IS...NOT...ANOTHER ADDICTION! :o

mmmm...oh gosh! I'm addicted to this too! :'( Ah! Who cares :D I'll show you one day my small collection of nail polishes.

First Time...

always smile...remember that :)
