Sing #14 ; Safe and Sound - Taylor Swift

  I found this song on YouTube one day, after I listened to it, I was just wandering around and saw this video. I thought the pictures in the video would explain better who Taylor Swift sang this song to, and why. The song reminds me of my grandpa. My grandpa died at the age of 77, because of blood cancer in 2007, which happened to be when I was only in 3rd grade. He was also one of the soliders in the Vietnam war against the French and survived home, but from then on, he got weaker, and that was when he was around 30-40. Grandpa was the nicest person in the family, I'd say. He was always there for me and cheer me up whenever there was something depressing me. He also covered for me whenever mommy yells at me if I do anything wrong. He helped me survive in the house, a lot of times. My house isn't a peaceful place. At ALL. There were usually fights, between my siblings, my parents, and all. But grandpa told me it wouldn't matter, and the fact that my family is always like that, will change. My grandpa encouraged me a lot through all that 8 years I've been sharing with him. I want to dedicate this song to him, and wish that he's safe and sound up there, in heaven. Even though Taylor Swift sang this song for those who had relatives who were in the war, or maybe those who that was involved in the Japan earthquake, ect... but to me, the lyrics sounds mostly like the relationship between grandpa and me, since when I was only a little kid.

Song #13 ; Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift

  The singer who sang the song wanted kids to make sure they aren't in a hurry to grow up and soon will ended up wishing themselves would be a child again. The song made a huge connection to me, since I never wanted to grow up. I always have wanted to be a child back then, so innocent and carefree, unlike how a lot of adults are, taking things seriously, and always have to worry. I see a lot of my friends are like real adults. They're so mature and would always have to worry about things around. They started having tons of troubles around and have to find a way to solve the problem. I was actually afraid. I don't want to grow up. I don't want to worry about things. I don't want to have complicated things around me. "I don't want to grow up, it could still be simple."Growing up is a part of life, and might be interesting for some people. But for me, it's a whole big door there waiting for you to come by and you totally changed. You became serious, instead of being so careless. You worry a lot about what's going to happen next, what could possibly happen if you did this, or that, and it all got together into a bunch of hard things you've never done before as a child.

Song #12 ; Gift of a Friend - Demo Lovato

  I want to dedicate this song to my friends. My very true friends. I want to tell them how much I love them as a friend and appreciate how they help me survive through this year, just like all the other ones. They're who I know, myself now, through the incident, that I could count on, who have always been encouraging me when I let myself down. I believe them. We've been through many hilarious moments and shared our laughs together. They're just truly amazing <3`. I'm so thankful you didn't go against me just for some other people, who are actually better than me. You guys really did made my life a lot more fun, waaay more than I was expecting it for this year. I really do love and respect you guys, for all what you think about me, my work, and a lot more. You know pretty much all my secrets (if you crazy people are reading this, trust me, the other ones are lame, so don't ask about it. I feel weird .. :D ), and share them with me too. We all knew each other, so well, we might be siblings. Honestly, I think you're just extraordinary to me. You are all special, and I love every single thing about you c: .

Song #11 ; Who's Laughing Now

  This song, is exactly how I feel right now. This girl, who used to hang with us group of friends, we used to hang with, was all being such, for now, an eyesore. A lot of people could tell, that she used to be in my group of friends before. But since that fight we had between me and her, our friendship, just got, really far away from each other. My group of friends and I would just ignore her and just, act like she never existed. But who knows, she was talking behind our backs and making up stories and said we just kicked her out since we now have Ann. At first we all thought we might give her a second chance to fix what she'd done, but no. What she did, totally disappointed me, so bad. I thought I could've trusted her, I thought I could've believed her, what she said, that she'd always be my friend, no matter what. She said she'd keep our promises and all and never break it. But no, I was in a total shock. I didn't expect this to happen. I didn't know how one of my best friends could've done this to me. She was doing those backstabbing things. She said bad things behind our backs, she made up stories, she tried to get people to be on her side, she stole our close friends, and was doing all these unbelievably horrible things we didn't expect to happen. Why can't she just ignore us, act like nothing happened, and that we never've been her friends, like we do? I seriously don't understand.  Before, we were her friends, because why? Because we felt PITY for her. I invited her to our lunch table, instead of letting her sit there alone, having no one to talk with, and soon, we became friends. I and my friends, never knew this would happen. But like, as we got closer to being the "bestest" of friends, she started being so annoying, she went really bossy and drive us crazy. She's mean at times, too, but I can always talk back to her, so that doesn't really make a problem for me, but it is to my friends. Backstabber. I hate her now. Totally. I don't know why, or what, made me feel that I could trust in her, and everything. And this, totally gave me a big big BIG shock. We kicked her out. We don't talk to her. We hate her. And all that, takes proves, that we don't need her, to make our world a happier place. I've got my true friends here for me. Not her. She's now joining into a world of friendless people. Well, she used to laugh in our faces, like we deserved that. But oh? "Who's laughing now."

Song #10 ; The Best Day - Taylor Swift

  I want to dedicate this song to my mom. I want her to know my feelings towards her even though I don't show it. Unlike other mothers and daughters, my mom and I would always go against each other. Sometimes I could feel she hated me so much she just wanted to throw a knife straight into my heart and let me die already. A lot of times hen I do things back against her, she was all, cursing at me, yelling at me, and all those horrible things a female teenager could think of what their mothers would do. I love my mom, really, but I just don't show it. I don't even look in her eyes. I know she does hates me, when I act stupid and crazy around her and granny, I just know it. Thinking all about hatred and things that weren't supposed to be right between me and my mom drive me crazy. I could seriously die. She says all I was was just an unwanted daughter of the family and wish I'd just disappear right in front of her eyes. Yes, she did. She said that. To me. Sometimes I even caught myself wondering if I was really her daughter. But then, I thought thinking of what was bad would just make it worse, it wouldn't really help. I heard a lot of people talking about this song when I told them how I feel. I listened to it, and all of the sudden it seemed like a fairytale. I want the relationship between mommy and me to be like this. I don't want it to get any bit worse. I truly want my mom to hear this song and understand. But who knows if she ever will ..

Song #9 ; Perfect - Simple Plan

  I don't understand. Why do people always expect me to do what they want? To do something way more than what my best could ever do? I didn't grow up the way my parents wanted to be. I wasn't who my parents wanted me to be. I was facing lots and lots of changes as I grew up, and mostly, when I arrived at AIS. They say all I was was that I just wanted to be fitting in and never cared about what my parents say. But no, what I'm trying to prove to them, is how, is what I want myself to be, how my life is. I didn't grow up smart like they expected. I didn't grow up having that look on me my parents wanted me to have. My eyes were horrible, unlike how my parents would wanted them to be so bright, so shiny and all. But no, I see my world in a different way than they do. I live a different life than what they were living in. It's a whole new generation now. Can't my parents understand that? Why do they expect so much of me? Why do they expect me to do all what they want? ..

Song #8 ; Enchanted - Taylor Swift

  When I first heard of this song, what immediately hopped into my mind was friends, and then family members, and after that, teachers who've been teaching for all these years I've been going through. I'm really thankful to meet all of you all and I appreciate the times when we laughed and have fun together and help each other survive through difficult times. I really thought "I was enchanted to meet you" people. I just love you for who you are. And I know you love me for who I am too. There was always time when I do things so stupid, and weird, and all those that people can't accept me as, you all know how to get me and my personality. You all cleared up my world, instead of leaving me there in the little dull world where no one give a crap about. Thanks for always being there for me.

Song #7 ; Count on Me - Bruno Mars

  I chose this song for one of the songs in my soundtrack because it shows and talks about how me and people around who I know, myself, that I can count on and put my trust on them, unlike who I thought I actually could trust, I told them everything, but they all ended up backstabbing and talk behind my back. Now that I've experienced it, I can tell who are actually trustworthy and really see me as a friend, no matter how I am, or how I act towards and tease them at times. I also want to let you know that you can count on me too. I promise I'd be the one that are good enough to be trusted c: .

Song #6 ; I Love You - Avril Lavigne

  I want to dedicate this song to my family and friends, who understand me more than no one ever did. I love you the way you are and appreciate the moments I've been spending with you. I still remember how we deal with friendship when hard times come by, I remember how my family supported me so much in everything, and cheer me up when I get upset, even when I'd get annoying and irritating sometimes. I know, in the bottom of my heart, that they ove me the way I am, just like how I love them. "The reason I love you is you, just you, being you. Yeah, the reason I love you, is all that we've been through, and that's why I love you." I know you'd always be there for me, and to tell you, I'd always be there for you too. Keep glowing, the sun to my shine! (; <3`.

Song #5 ; Part of Me - Katy Perry

  I chose this song for my soundtrack to tell people that I'll always be myself no matter if they don't accept me for the way I am. "This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me." I am who I am. I laugh when it comes to serious things, I don't take them serious. I laugh when there's nothing to laugh at. I like to enjoy every moment of my life and make each moment special. All those little things that makes me being abnormal to other people makes me feel better about myself because I feel like I am who I am and that no one's taking my role and I'm not taking anyone's either.

Song #4 ; A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

  I heard this song when I was at the concert the other day, when a high school student of our school went up and sing it. I really liked the song at the moment, and went home and started listening to it. I think what it's saying is about loving someone so much, you could do anything to be and spend time with them, doesn't matter that you have to get through so many difficulties and obstacles, no matter how hard it is, just to see them. I'd really do the same with my friends, and family, if I ever had to sparate them one day. They always accept me for what I do and who I am and understands me more than no one could. "'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles, if i could just see you .. tonight."

Song #3 ; Waiting Outside the Lines - Greyson Chance

  I heard this song on Disney Channel one day, when I was watching cartoons and all the things, they stopped, and advertise their channel for a while, then this song pops up. I didn't really think of anything about this song by then, thinking it was just like all the others. But as my sister listening to it day by day, it suddenly got into my head. I think the meaning of this song is saying to play it safe, not breaking your shells, but still to be your own self and do your best to reach the top. It's also saying that you can get past something you wanted to do if you try. I think the song was a lot meaningful. It relates to me much, when working in groups with people who I don't hang and being socialized with, I have a hard time doing the work. I usually got left out, not doing anything, but after listening to this song, I think I should really try and do my best on what I am supposed to do. "You're so afraid of taking chances, how you're gonna reach the top?"

Song #2 ; Anything but Ordinary - Avril Lavigne

  "Sometimes I get so weird, I even freak myself out." So true, so true. I do. To me, fitting in aren't really important. What is, is that you're strong enough to be you and do your own thing. It makes you not being just yourself, but stand out, not to get attention around, but showing who you really are. People think I'm weird, when I just sat there, thinking about all the funny things I've gone through, and all the jokes my friends told me, and just .. laugh, when the whole room is quiet. People after that started laughing too, not at me, but at what I was doing. But it was actually what I do, being able to have fun and think about all the great times around with the friends. Others may think you're trying to get attention, but no, you're being who you are.

Song #1 ; The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars

  I chose this song for the first one in my soundtrack. It's a simple reason. I'm actually an extra-lazy girl and I think most of people around me knew that already. This is also the reason why Jenny, my friend, keeps on whining about me, for not doing anything whenever I'm in a group or doing a project. For important ones, I would actually research for 4-5 things at first, and then, when it nearly gets to the due date, like 1-2 days, I started rushing. For the ones that aren't important or those that wouldn't affect my grades a bunch, I'd take years to finish. Kathy always says I'm being weird, whenever I get seriously bored and start taking out a whole lots of homework, or just overdue things, and work on them. In weekends, I mostly spend my day sleeping and wandering around the Internet for nothing. For me, saying, "sleeping," and "wandering around on the Internet" sounds lame. Seriously. But when you actually do it, you find it interesting and it makes you feel new and fresh somehow. Still, though, being lazy and doing nothing keeps me bored, in some way, and then I'd start looking for something to do. I think most people in our school are lazy, for reasons of their own, but for me, sometimes it's what a good thing to be doing when you're all stressed out and relax yourself a bit c: .
