Day 2: 30 Day Challenge

Day 2: Meaning behind your blog name

Well I don't think there is much significance to my blog name - The stories beneath the Sand.

I guess when I came up with the name I wanted it to be meaningful and personify my blog. I aim for my blog to gather my daily life whether it is happy or sad. A blog to illustrate my thoughts and interests for others to read. Yet at the same time building up stories with inner and deeper thoughts which shape the person I am.

However I am never fully satisfied and with my lack of english vocabulary I have already thought about changing my blog name. This will not commence till after May and whether I have grown attached to the name.

As you can see I am pretty indecisive.

Thanks for reading!!

Much Love,

Day 1: 30 Day Challenge

Day 1: Introduce, recent picture of yourself, 15 interesting facts

So here is goes-

Hello everyone!! My name is Christine and I am a twenty year old blogger from London. This is actually my second blog, I had one on livejournal when I was roughly 13 till about 17. What I blogged, I have no clue. It makes me cringe when I read the more recent ones on my old blog.

Hopefully this blog will be far more interesting and WELCOME to everyone who reads my blog and I hope you enjoy it! :)

Recent Picture of myself (actually this was taken in feb)

My hair is just a little different now.

15 Interesting Facts....I'll prefer it to be called random facts:

Im not a very interesting person to be honest lol.

1 - I study Civil Engineering which I guess is a rare subject for a girl.

2 - I have an obsession with checking my emails even though I know it was only 20 minutes ago I refreshed the page. I can check my emails up to eight times a day. Weird I know.

3 - I use to sleep at 3am as a kid and as a result I love staying up late.

4 - Studied in an all girls secondary school and wasn't at all interested in boys. Was actually too shy to speak to one.

5 - Always took the piss out of my teachers in 6th form, glad I never got into trouble for that.

6 - Almost died when the ceiling fell down.

7 - I cut my beautiful long hair once upon a time and is longingly trying to grow it back.

8 - My parents own a Chinese Takeaway (surprise surprise) and yes it was child labour and I had to break eggs and take orders.

9 - I have trekked the Great of Wall of China (yes I aware I am chinese lol) and Snowdonia in Wales.

10 - I want to trek Killimanjaro one day, even though I may die LOL.

11 - I take ice skating lessons.

12 - I can now finally touch my toes.

13 - I have bad and I mean BAD co-ordination skills.

14 - I get confused with my left and right.

15 - I still want to learn to drive. :)

Well I hope that entertained you and hopefully made you laugh. I hope I have numbered correctly, very common for me to make a mistake!

Thanks for reading!!

Much Love,
