I can't find out what do these onomatopeyas means... :(
They are:
・ ワイワイ
・ プクリ ( I really don't know if this is an Onomatopeya or not, but i couldn't find it on any dictionary )
Any help would be VERY apreciated :p

わいわい (adv) noisily; clamorously; many people making a din; (P)

That's a bit trickier. It doesn't appear to be in common use ... but it does seem to be a 擬音語 and it's usually used in pairs.
