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!

✿ SWEET 18 ✿

I wish... I wish...

Finally I'm 18!!! 

How do I feel?? Mmm...exactly the same as I was 17! For real I thought that as soon as I was turning 18 I would get maybe some inches in heights but :( no! I'm the same.

My birthday was not today, it's on the 20th of october but me and my family celebrated till yesterday because Sunday (the day of my birthday) both of my parents worked so I was at home alone but anyways I opened my presents before my mom went to work and I got lovely gifts some pretty AMAZING!! Like: 

      🌺 the Sephora Makeup Academy Palette!! (aaaah pretty coool! ≧◡≦ )

      🌺 from my dad a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

      🌺 a beautiful bracelet from family friends;
      🌺 an unexpected Swarovski necklece from my bestfriend!! ≧.≦ 
      🌺 from my other bestfriend I got a speechless memory album with pics of us                        together through the years, since we first met (2002) till now. She gave it                        to me telling that it's a gift that I'll have to complete...and I thought it was    
         a... puzzle! upsii!  ✌.ʕʘ‿ʘʔ.✌ 
      🌺 but the most amazing gift was:

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

I'm noot ;)

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.
