Magazines


found some great issues of Lingkaran and one Come Home! magazine the other day at Shirokiya.  my friends found it so funny that i went home with a huge bag of Japanese magazines, haha. one commented after a fit of laughter: "impressive!"  i thought it was funny that they thought it was funny :-)










nothing much going on.  these days are pretty simple, with the exception of constant reading and essays i have to type for my summer class. just another week and a half of this and i'm all done! then 2 days after my summer session finishes, i fly to Las Vegas and LA for vacation! im so excited! it's coming up pretty fast, but i can't feel it's full potential yet because i still have so much work to do.

anyway, hope these wonderful pictures help relax your day as it's doing for mine!

thanks! enjoy your trip back home too! i'll be seeing you this december??? me and my family is flying up there end of this year again, with my sister this time! haha

hiki:
nihonjin have a very specific and beautiful eye for life i think. thats why im so attracted to that lifestyle. just walking throughout Japan, and meeting people...one can tell they take pride in so much. and i love that!

c:
yes! these magazines definitely inspire me to take beautiful pictures like this too! but i find it quite hard..there's something missing that i dont have. i dont know what though, haha. i think it's the surroundings. if i was in Japan, i would be more inspired i think. haha
im glad you all like the lullatone song!! <3

...i had a feeling they stopped making Lingkaran because i have not seen any new issues lately. this makes me so sad! because i put in a subscription for that magazine, without knowing it was discontinued. :-(
thanks for letting me officially know though, i would have been waiting and waiting for a new issue! haha

marie said...

i love these magazines too. wish i had a japanese bookstore nearby

momo said...

I loved リンカラン so much. The images were always beautiful and the topics they cover were always interesting too. What a shame...

Not sure if you have second hand Japanese book store there, but if you do, I recommend you to find "olive" magazine. I used to buy them when I was much younger and still think there is no magazines like that these days. The best Japanese magazines ever.
have a nice day!

thankfully we have many japanese book stores here
i will try to look for OLIVE, thank you for telling me :-)
