Oooh man, these last days was really filled with many super-mega happy moments!!
First of all I get back to Quiksilver, that’s my favorite job! Definitely! I’m so happy to work again with my mates Dan, Priiya and all the others. I love this work, cause there’s so many challenges, I meet so many different people and I’m very satisfied when the manager and my others work colleagues are proud of me.

And what about Coral Bay? Ah yeah, I almost forgot 🙂
Easyrider Tours, choose me and other 3 girls and 2 guys for becoming a Travel Reporter! We have to go to Coral Bay for 6 days and have fun with whale shark, turtles, manta rays, reef sharks, quad bike and kayak!! And after these 6 days, they will choose only one person for becoming the West Oz Wanderer!!! Oh my god I’m so excited!!
A big big thanks to Easyrider for this wonderful opportunity! I will not disappoint you!! 🙂
Thanks to Ningaloo Club Coral Bay for the hospitality!!

I’m too lazy to write in Italian today 🙂

La fine di un Era!!

Ebbene si, basta gelati!
Qua l’autunno-inverno incombe, sono gia tre giorni che piove e tira un bel venticello, quindi i miei capi han deciso di chiudere baracca e burattini! E io? Rimango a piedi?? Naaaa!!! Non per ora! Mi sono presentato alla Quiksilver, il mio primo amore, e ho gia avuto un bel po di ore dato che una mia collega si e’ licenziata da poco! Ma non e’ tempo di cantar vittoria! Mi sto guardando in giro, se trovo un full time per questi due mesi bene, se no parto subito alla volta di Broome, per fare il cercatore di perle!! YEAAAAHH!! Altro che Indiana Jones!!
Cmq non posso partire prima del 10 Maggio, data di completamento del mio bellissimo tattoo!!

Incrociate le dita per me, mi serve un po di fortuna ora!!

Byeee

Tattoo – First session

Inanzitutto ringrazio la Ila che mi teneva la manina e mi dava i bacini sulla fronte ahahah! Che dire, prima sessione del mio tattoo andata bene, Marc Pinto e’ semplicemente un grande, un’artista, grazie grazie grazie! Vi lascio con le foto perche’ sono anche lievemente provato 😀

Thanks again to http://www.marcpinto.com/

Edit:

Inanzitutto si chiama Carpa Koi o Koi Fish, e’ un tipo di carpa orientale, che ricopre un ruolo importante nelle storie e nelle leggende sia della cultura cinese che giapponese. In molte di queste storie il Koi Fish, con la sua perseveranza nel risalire correnti e cascate, si trasforma in drago. Il simbolo che ha sulla fronte vuol dire appunto perseveranza nonostane le avversita’ e forza di carattere nel perseguire uno scopo. La Carpa puo rappresentare anche saggezza, conoscenza, longevita’ e lealta’.
Questi pesci inoltre riescono a vivere dai 15 ai 30 anni, quindi questa longevita’ incredibile simbolizza la perseveranza.
Nei tatuaggi quindi la Carpa Koi, in combinazione con i disegni di acqua e onde, simboleggia il coraggio, i traguardi e la volonta’ di superare gli ostacoli che incontriamo nella vita.

That’s it
