Official Launch :D

Hello!

After 3 name changes, I'm finally officially launching my blog! I know I may be the only person that's excited about this, but hopefully my writing and photography skills will improve as time goes on and more people will get excited about my blog posts :)

There are two reasons I'm launching my blog today:

1) I just got my new Nikon D3000 from Amazon!!! It's my first DSLR camera and I'm super excited!!!

2) I'm leaving for Sydney on Sunday! Since I plan to take tons of pictures anyway, I thought I would post them here and share with everyone :)

So on the new blog name: Aurora Seagull. It's the English translation of my Chinese name: Xiao Ou. Which in plain english means "Seagull in the morning". Depending on how you translate it, my real name can sound poetic or corny. I named the blog Aurora Seagull and I hope it's not the corniest interpretation of my name...

Just like many other blogs, it's going to be a blog about me (the blogger). I would like to think it's a unique blog because everyone leads a unique life. I will be posting about my trip to Sydney, my visit back to New Zealand, and then my life as a college student back in Los Angeles. Because of my personal interests, my outfits, my organization HapaSC (more on that later) and FOOD will be heavily featured.

Here's a couple of picutres I took when I was playing around with my new camera! Feel free to leave a comment with tips on how to take better pictures because I'm so new at this!

Be back soon,
