Happy 80TH ♥

Hello Hello everyone! Even though half of January is already passed...Happy New Year! How has been 2017 so far for you guys? 

Mine so far has been good and bad at the same time. 
Good because finally this past Friday 20th January, for the first time ever one of my dearest cousins came to visit us here in Italy. She is here in Europe for a volunteering work in Hungary and because tickets to travel to Italy are much cheaper here than in Sri Lanka, she finally saw where we live after hearing us talking about it for 21 years (that's our age and yes she is my same age, just a month older than me!).
Second good thing is that today I bought my first ticket for this year and I'm officially visiting this cousin in Budapest!! WOW I can't wait because it will be my first time ever in Hungryyyyy!!! Kyaaaaaaa!!

And now sad because [haaaa] I won't go to Sri Lanka this year. We can't have everything from life, I know that, but it's heartbreaking for me because today, Monday 23rd of January is my BEAUTIFUL GRANDMA'S 80TH BIRTHDAY!! 

We celebrate 80 years only once in our lives so I really wanted to see her this time! Maybe you'll be tired of me for repeating this but I love both my grandparents a lot. They are the main reason why I love Sri Lanka and the girl I'm today! I can't believe how lucky I am to call them my grandpa and grandma and I will never stop telling it! 

So today this blog post is dedicated to them both, Paul Wickraamarachchi (83) and especially the birthday girl Vivian Hathurusinghe (80 today) my sweet Grandparents.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY ACHCHI! ♥

Here for you guys the video I created in their honor with the clips I filmed when I went to Sri Lanka last year. Hope you all will enjoy it us much as I had filming them like a stalker,

If you didn't know yes! I've got a youtube channel where I uploaded the video at the beginning of this blog post. I hope you check it out and let me know what you think of it I would love to read it! :D So I'll leave the link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoHdNPBX6vQ and the video itself above! 

ENJOYYY and BYE BYE!

New Year Walk!

Well...HAPPY BELATED NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! 

I think you already know at this time how I am! I'm late but my wishes are truly felt... I wish you all a very Happy New Year! 

How was your New Year Eve? Did you party all night with your favourite people or did you spend a quite night at home with family? 

As for me... well in my family there's this tradition of spending New Year Eve anywhere, not necessarily at home but it MUST be spent all together! My mum will kill you if you miss this thing! I'm joking obviously (ooor maybe I'm not) 😈 

On New Year Eve me and my dad decided to go out for a walk. I think one of the most popular resolutions every year that each single person wish to come true is probably to get fit and be healthier and YES that's ours too! We couldn't wait till the 1st of January to be healthier so we started before, on the 31st of December!! XD 

It was a beautiful sunny day of December but if you were in the shadow everything was frozen (look at the pic above) so yeah a typical winter day! We went to walk in a place called "Camminata sul Mincio" (= "Walk on the Mincio" ) at Peschiera del Garda. 

It's truly a beautiful almost magical place to go if you are looking for some inner peace because you are surrounded just by the nature, some animals like ducks (any kind of birds actually) and fishes! Cars are not allowed in this place- not even motorbikes - it's a path allowed only to people or bicycles, that's all! So very green and peaceful - You all won't be disappointed :) 

That's all I have to write for now! I started UNI again so as usual I'm busy with it but I'll be back very soon with new pics and new S.O.A.P posts! So yeah...THANK YOU FOR PASSING BY

BYEEEE!!! :D

Here are down below my pics of that beautiful day! ENJOY! 

Top Model Dad! ;D

WARNING!!

HI THERE!! I'm really sorry for not having written anything for so long, but ... you know: D it was holiday time!

I had Christmas break from school so I spent my time in two amazing countries with my mum and do not worry I will write in the coming weeks. It has been two crazy and amazing weeks with my lovely family!

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!)
