see? the curly hair guy's name is Victorio Marini. Oh god, he just reminds me of Corbin Bleu- Chad Danforth, the guy from Jump In! and High School Musical.
i even got to spring his hair and check what it feels like. when his hair was safe for springing and touching, mei and didi started pulling and letting go off his hair at extremely high velocities. We don't have such hair back home man, it was like seeing snow.alright, crap.
All of our snorkels were flourescent yellow. CAN YOU SEE ME!!! the sea was extremely deep, I couldn't even see the bottom, but i could see the bloody sea urchins from the surface.
I saw a moray eel too!! but we had to hold our breaths and dive for awhile to get a closer view.
It's really an undescribable feeling. being surrounded by fishes, nibbling at you from all corners, and OH GOD! the corals were just swaying along, me and mei had this competition to close as many clams and oysters as fast as we can.
Nemo waved at me through those purple ferny fans.
Victorio took so many pics of me underwater, since he had a diving camera :D
Did i mention that ALL of them have DIVER's LICENSE- even the Mum who was super kan chiong when she sees jellyfishes& starts hyperventilating and pulling out what's left of her hair?
they're the MOST atheletic family I have ever seen. Victorio is a Triathlete- he swims, he runs, and he cycles. Man! i mean, I just do that for leisure,and when I feel obese after stuffing my face.
But he's into it as a competitve sport, &holding the championship title in his District in Italy. The cuter one, Michaele (me-kell-leh) is as cool too (: Uncle Romano is the coolest, he is an AMETHYST dealer, like he knows EVERYTHING about precious gems and chinise artefacts. ohman, ohman, he knows about me!!about me!! ME!ME!ME!
my fins were black, mei was dark blue and didi were emerald green.
Vic was free diving without oxygen tanks, i don't know where Miggy was. i bet he was poking and scratching the scales off some fishes. Romano and Dad were still laughing nonstop, even in the water. Apparantly, it was some inside joke.
Before this, Vic was training for his triathlon next summer. While the boat was moving, he just jumped off the and started to swim to shore!?! that was his usual training; ohgosh, he was like just the only one in the sea doing his medley stuff with the boat in front of him. i was like fnjoweufwobvguwobuwerovgu;. Loss for words.
Miggy and Vic were wrestling each other now. After i took this photo, i was pulled down the water D: After i was dry man.
Miggy loves sleeping like that on the tip of the boat. Mum is called Lucia, another coincidence. My mum said a teacher can spot a teacher too. like a gay can spot another gay, something along that line. Loudhailer voice, dirty marker-staines fingers, laugh at the weirdest moments, large pair of lungs. confirm plus chop. TEACHER!
when Me and mei were just lying around on the beach, the guys were playing around.
Oh ya, we were talking casually with Lucia about religion.you know, just casual chitchat. " Aunt Lucia, you're a Christain? Catholic?" " Nahhh, I'm A good Buddhist" she went. Shocked shocked. " What type of buddhist?" we asked, out of curiosity.
" Nichirin Daishonin Bu-" "WHHHHAAAATT??" WE ARE TOO!!! god, how small can this world be? She was the founder :D:D
From that day on, we went to their bungalows and started our prayers facing the wall. Man, i mustmustmust memorise Daimoku already, Vic and Miggy can do that without even looking at the book. Dang it.
you guys rock man! i'll send a chinise chess set as promised, Vic:D
Both of them can speak a little english, Spanish AND italian. Double dang.
Oh man, i can only apeak English, and my chinise is undescribably pathetic-so "great" that Mr Mak can't help but snigger to himself and shake his head hopelessy at his higher chinise wanping D:
Don't remind me about hokkien, i can't speak enough to save my own life.
Ah mah gets really worked up when I can't answer except to keeep grinning ,smiling from ear to ear and nod my head until my neck breaks. it's called body language yo.
We went to a Italian Pub-Diner to have
Maguerittas and Pizzapizzapizza PIZZA for Christmas and all of us partied (: alcohol-free for kids though.
Victorio, Radiance, Amethyst, Michaele <33
WE ROCKED LIKE HELL MAN. We had a super great time, thanks so so much for the laughters, jokes and I still don't understand why I'm always tickled. Man, you guys are the only ones I know who sleep on top of each other and piggyback each other to peep at girls pee. Haha, SHORTIES. We'll come and visit you guys in Italy soon (dad promised)
Good friends are hard to find, hard to lose, and impossible to forget. (Especially those you were left with for company in a small island of a population less than 300) lol.
Well, that's all of us going on a boat trip. Didi didn't go with us becuz he sprained his neck while playing, I don't know who he honestly managed it though, I guess he was trying to act Michael Phelps-y and CREEEEAAAAKK there goes his little neck. he had to walk with his neck cocked to one side, like some stroke patient.
While they indulged in the game of "who-can-pull-the-baby's-pants-fastest", we played more civilised games. oh yeah, they love SNAP. what a bloody boring game man.
Ain't it beautiful? This is the scene once I get out of our cosy little woodeny hut. Did I tell mention that that we had sleep with candles, because lights' out is at 12. 
We trekked all the way up to the Chado Cliff and this is the panaromic (darn, i don't know how to spell it) can you just imagine how much we actually climbed?! just look at the size of the island at the background, We're That near to the clouds :D:D:D
Mummy looks so farmarish, like she's going to take out a shovel and start planting some tomatoes.
On the way down down down. I don't know why there were so many bamboos there. 
We were going to snorkel after playing beach volleyball. this time, we were going with our new italian friends! The Marinis <33>
