Christmas:)

Welcome to my blog :) first ill start off with a little introduction… I'm 'Tina', I am seventeen and I live in the UK… I'm currently studying media at college and I like pandas:)

now ill start with explaining what i did at christmas… lots of food shopping and gift shopping involved. i went to a place called Southampton & visited a new store called Hollister which is from the US, the shop didn't look like average at all, its set out like a beach house with lots of armchairs & its also v. dark in there. so yeah it was quite interesting and i loved it, i bought a few presents in there for my brother & friends. Here is a photo of the bag i got from there... lol

 .

I also spent lots of time with family on christmas and on boxing day (26th) I went to watch some horse racing with my dad & brother, I bet on a few horses but didn't win anything however my brother was ever so lucky to win nearly £200! I was rather jealous ha. Here is a few christmas photos :

Moving on... I recently went to a screamo heavy metal etc. gig, thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to link a few of the bands in my blog so here is asbestos, into the dust &  who shot cyrus? I hope you enjoy them as well :)

I've just bought a few DVDs.. the notebook (never fails to make me cry), the curious case of Benjamin button (long but very good) & I've pre-ordered 500 days of summer - that film is sooo good :) I'm also thinking about buying 'Coco Before Chanel' for my mum's birthday & pre-ordering 'Julie & Julia' let me know if these 2 films are good as i missed the opportunity to see them :(

     

I've been with my boyfriend for nearly a year and a half on 5th January which is exciting but we wont be able to spend much time together on the day because we both have college that day :(

I got quite a lot of gifts for christmas… I've taken a whole loads photos for you to see :) so here we go:
