Where is the love by Black Eyed Peas
Click here to the lyrics
Where is the love by the Black Eyed Peas is full of meanings and they are very deep. It awakes everyone that nowadays, hunger, homesless and terrorism are still problems, especially in Africa and some country in Middle East. After all, no one cares about it, even the government. They just stare at the citizen dieing right there on the streets. I hope these sentences "Chemical gasses filling the lungs of little ones. With the ongoing suffering as the youth die" will bring to their mind that the citizens are innocent, espescially the small chidren because they are the hope of the future.
Back to December by Taylor Swift

The reason why I chose this song because I felt connected to what Taylor has wrote. It was all about mistakes that Taylor made, so did I. I never made such a stupid mistake. I mean it was the worst of all time, litterually.
One day, my grandma went along with my mom to pick me up. I was so tired and frustrated. I had no idea what has made me gone mad (maybe because of moodswing). When I stepped into the car, I didn't even said "Hi" to my grandma. Instead of that, I showed her my angry face and acted really rude. By the time I actually calm down, tears appeared in her eyes. Right at that moment, I felt so stupid for acting such babyish, meaning that I musn't give off the anger to her no matter how angry that I got. After that, I apoligized her by the heart "Sorry, grandma, I didn't mean to. I promised you I won't do that again. I learned my lesson" and she forgave me at last.
Part of me by Katy Perry
Part of me by Katy Perry really relates to me. Living in Vietnam, being a descendant of Chinese is absolutely painful and angry. Hearing those Vietnamese being racist about Chinese just makes me sick and irritating me a lot. It's exactly the same as persuading me to be a completely pure Vietnamese and get rid of my descendant. How can I do that? I mean, I can't just throw it away and neglect it. I'm happy the way I am now and "this is a part of me that you're never gonna ever take it away from me, NO."

Secrets by OneRepublic
The video below is also Secrets, but it's covered by a girl who owns a lovely voice, Tiffany Alvord. I love hearing her singing.
Click here to the lyrics
When I first hear this song, I feel really connect to it. It has a strong and powerful tone saying that "I'm sick of all the insincere" from all of people around you, so am I. I just hate the dishonest from my friends, even my family. I understand that people lie, sometimes, but for me, too much lying is not okay. It's just so annoying to hear people always having reasons to defend themselves.
In addition, the sentence "So I'm gonna give all my secrets away" reminds of an experience that I've gone through during quarter two and the beginning of few weeks in quarter three (if my memory hasn't gone bad). It was so painful and stressed out. All days and nights, I had these bunch of homework that I had to complete, plus, the Mandarin lessons were driving me nuts and powerful enough to kill me. My head was ready to explode. After that, came my little brother and he asked me questions. Without any thinking, I just blamed the anger on his head and yelled at him so badly. Oh My Gosh, it was a relief to take this anger away, however, poor my innocent brother. He had to listen to me yelling while he didn't do anything harmful to me. Anyway, sorry my little angle. I'll make it up to you one day.

Turn up the music by Chris Brown
Click here to the lyrics
Turn up the music by Chris Brown is super energetic. I just want to sing and dance along. Singing, I can do that, just need to memorize that lyrics but of course, the choreography is too hard for me. Sure enough the result is having broken bones and staying at the hospital for a month if I actually copy Chris Brown's moves.
Despite the fact that I can't dance, I still want to have a party just like the video above, with all the crazy musics and melodies surrounding me because "I need it in my life, yeah" to force all those stresses away from my head that I had compressed throughout the week. Besides, it would be fun if I actually can have it. I can invite my friends over and join them. Some of the choreography would be hilarious and ridiculous because, according to my experience in AIS, they are kooky and mad. Anyway, I must get going on the moves right now or else I will be a totally jerk if I just stand right there like a statue (just in case if it happens). "Turn up the music, oh turn it up now. Turn up the music. I need in my life, yeah, woo ho."
Year 3000 by Jonas Brothers
Click here to the lyrics
If there is actually a genie standing right in front of my face granting me three wishes, it would be super cool if I can make one of my wishes comes true, which is having a time machine to travel to the 22 century or beyond that, such as the year 3000, woo hoo. As you know, I'm a curious girl. I always want to know what's the future is going to look like. Is human going to live underwater or they'll have these flying cars around or either human is going to live in another solar system, but there are so many possibilities that human can't really tell, so, please any of the scientists. I don't care who it is but I'm begging you by the heart, let's get going on inventing it so I can accomplish my dream. "I've been to the year 3000. Nothing has changed but they lived underwater." (Just want to sing along).
Gift of a friend by Demi Lovato
Click here to the lyrics
What do you think about friendship? To me, it is very precious and it is like a gift from Gift from God. Throughout this year, I started to make all kinds of new friends, meaning that I have more friends to have fun with. However, there is one that I trust and share the most. She has been my friend since last year. She was the first to start hanging out with me in this school and I appreciated her so much. I'm not saying that the others are unfriendly or horrible but is her attitude, personality and feelings tells me that I can rely on or share my interests with. During the time we spend together, I find that mostly, my personality doesn't really match her much and the funny thing is, we still stick together, like magnet. We can't really escape from each other.
Prize tag by Jessie J
Click here to the lyrics
What do you think it would be the strongest influence in the world? Is it the money or ideas? In my opinion, idea is the biggest influence in the world today. Without it, we can never create iPhone or iPod. Money? Well, it is also kind of important, but on the other hand, sometimes, people can become really evil and ambitious because of it, so stay away from money. What I'm saying is not literally stay away from it, but don't let money change your personality or your attitude. Just stay positive and "foget about the money, money, money. We don't need the money, money, money. We just want to make the world dance", also, to live your life without any regrets.
The lazy song by Bruno Mars
Click here to the lyrics
Obviously, everyone is lazy. I'm lazy, too. Don't know why this year I convert to a super lazy person. Everyday receiving homework is a disaster and just want to smash it like smashing a potato or a tomato (no offense to any of the teachers, but that's just human being). Anyway, I can't really do it, right? Certainly the teachers are going to give me a zero or worse, call my parents or whatever punishment I have to pay if I actually behave that way, so I choose to be a good student and complete my homework everyday.
The other thing is "I want summer vacation now, so freaking bad" (melody from Billionare). Everytime I think of vacation in the middle of the school year, the idea of laying on the bed, kick my feet up and stare at the fan, like what's Bruno Mars says, pops in my head immediatly, yet, I can't do it right in this moment because I still have a long way to go, so sad, however, whereas the summer comes, I'll be free and "Today I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to lay in my bed."
Mr. Know it all by Kelly Clarkson
Click here to the lyrics
Mr.Know it all by Kelly Clarkson really helps me convey what I'm going to say in this paragraph. Here it says "Mr.Know it all, well you, think you know it all, but you don't know a thing at all, right you?" is full of energy and power that claims if you don't know anything about me at all, then you better stand right here and listen. I totally agreed with what Kelly Clarkson is saying because I've been through this disaster and without a doubt, I know how horribly it feels by being despised and seen as a dumb. For some people, they will take it real. As all the negative emotions build up at once, it can create an unsafe, plus, a-waste-of-space feeling inside their soul.
Butterfly fly away by Miley Cyrus
Click here to the lyrics
This song is for my dad. I am blessed and grateful to have a the best dad ever. He cares for all of his children. Even though right now, it's really hard to make money, plus, the economy is kind of going down and you have to pay taxes to government, he still tries his best to "make a living, make a home "as well as to make sure that we get proper education. Besides, my dad is pretty easy. He always get me things I want and I appreciate it. However, the negative thing is, me and my dad don't really get along together much. We hardly ever last the conversation any longer than just couple of seconds. I tried to extend the conversation but, I have no idea what to say, more than that, I just don't have the nerve to say it out loud, so FAIL. Although, I don't surround my dad much as other kids, still I can tell he loves his children more than everyone by his action.
