Wish i could fly like superman

It's approaching September and that means it's time for an end to the summer holidays. Many of my high school friends are going to leave for college, embarking on a new journey of life, and so, now is also a time for farewells, goodbyes, hugs and of course... photo taking! I want to share with you some pictures on outings with dear friends. All of them I will see again in a year or so, or maybe even longer, who knows what will happen in the future ?


Purikura (Japanese sticker photos) with two girls who are heading to Canada! Note how different one can look with glasses (they make eyes smaller > <' )

I also went to watch a football match with some friends a week ago. It was hot, sunny but we stayed at a wonderful hotel with delicious room dinners, blasting air-con and an iPod dock which we utilized all night. They also brought a professional camera which took the most brilliant photos, very clear and ... just professional ! For a person like me who uses their phone for most photos, it was lovely playing around with taking photos of everything with an ACTUAL camera!


The first time since I've started blogging that photos from professional cameras appear! Some shots of myself, hotel room service (food), football stadium, friends, smiles, big glasses that unfortunately make eyes smaller than usual, beautiful night view of China and large camera head shots 

***

This post is really mixed - photos from cute photo booths and photos from those large cameras I see other people use. I enjoyed the trips very much, and it's just nice to spend quality time with people that know you and accept you just the way you are. And photos do bring great memories once you look through them a while later... I occasionally go through my files on the computer and burst out laughing at my old pictures in secondary school, high school and even from kindergarten! 

Now I'm more inspired to get myself a camera someday, when I can afford it. Which photo style do you prefer - serious or playful ?

  23. I love this post, it's really uplifting and the purikura photos are so cute! I'd love to have a proper camera too, but they're so expensive. And I agree completely, trips with friends are always so much fun :) And thanks for commenting back, I'm glad you liked the links. I think I prefer a playful style, but serious is just as good at different times. xxx

  24. Great photos! You and your friends are super cute, and you look stunning with those glasses! I love seeing pictures of China - I was so sad that I only got to go to Beijing last summer.

  36. As a Senior in college, I can't stress this enough. KEEP IN TOUCH. Or it's true, you won't have the time to see your closest friends.

  59. I love posts like these with a mix of photos. I take a lot of photos on my iPhone these days too but WISH I had a really awesome camera. One day I definitely will be getting one! Do you think you'll go abroad for your college studies? I guess it's likely right? I love the big glasses and purikura. I wish I was able to play with them while I was there- I totally forgot. Will have to go to them next Summer!
