#Song 25: One Day - Charice

- I would gladly dedicate this song to the girl that made me felt disappointed the most! I wonder why people keep telling me to do the things that I don't want to do? Why are they keep expecting some negative things from me and those negative things are positive things to them? There was a girl that used to be one of my most trustful friends and guess what? She got mad at one of my friends and for what? A small little hit on a shoulder and she called that "hurt"? Seriously? And she told me to stop playing with my friends and play with her? I was so surprised that she would say those irritating words like that! Why should I follow her? So I ignored what she said and went play with "true" friends. She tried to trick me many times and guess what? One day, she will see the real feeling from me to her. A true and realistic feeling from me to her! She couldn't shut me down, she couldn't make do the things that she wants to do! I have my own rights to follow what my heart is telling me to do. Why should I follow a person that is not in my heart? She lost my trustworthiness for her. She back-stabbed me and my friends and now, she wants us back. She used to inappropriate words to say apologize to us. Well, if she said like that, it means that she is swearing at us with those words, not apologize. Don't tell me that I can't follow what I decided to do and those thoughts are positive. I know what I'm doing and I know that it would heading to a positive effect. I'm not that dumped to not figure out between incorrect and correct! I've grown! I'm a 13 years-old girl now and I have my own rights to do whatever I want to do. Sometimes, people tell me some positive things to do, I would think back and forth if that saying would help me or it's just useless. If that girl said that "Don't even try" but excuse me, I have my own thoughts and rights to do things that I want to be complete! Things that I should have finished a long time ago. "It’s my fate wait and see, one day", I'm going to show to the world that I have the rights to do things that I want to do, I would take people's positive thoughts to apply it to my goal!

#Song 24: I love you mom - Candace (Ashley Tisdale)

- I love my mother a lot so I sincerely dedicate this sweet song to her. She was the one who always there for me when I need her by my side. She is always the one who helps me with things that I don't know how to solve it. I want to express this feeling to my mother and the other audiences to know that I will always love her no matter what she did to me that was driving me mad. I could feel the lyrics from this song to my heart. It lagged my heart so hard that I realized that I love my mom the most. Even though she shouts at me when I got a bad grade, I know what she means! She wants me to become a successor, a successful daughter. Now I've finally realized the morals that she wants to share with me. I'm truly love my mother because she has tried her best to help me and my little brother to be successful. And guess what? I will make that wish come true no matter what happened. Sometimes, me and my brother were having a fight and I went a little bit frantic, but my mom was the only one who stayed calm and tried to solve things. I always try to tell her that I love her but I can't. Well, I think that this song would tell her the whole ideas why <3 I love you, Mom.. "I'll always love you, mom"

#Song 23: Who's laughing now - Jessie J

- I was wondering around on Youtube and suddenly, a friend of mine, Pearl, sent me this video clip. I've found it so interesting and I've also found out that it got a big connection to me. It doesn't seem to be similar to the video but it is similar to the lyrics of the song. I seriously don't understand. Why am I keep thinking about the person that I hate and that person was a dull girl? She was hurting my friends by saying some irritating sayings that it brought them a big shock. How could she do that to my friends? And that person I hate was used to be my best friend. I used to count on her so much that I couldn't open my eyes and see the real face of her. A real fake face of that dull girl. I wasn't meant to hurt her but look what she did to my friends! Did she even think about what she did? Does she even have a mind to think? I guess she does but she doesn't know how to use it because every single person knows how to use their minds to figure the positive options. But to her, I think that she was just trying to using me for some dull and stupid stuffs that I should have known at the beginning. I shouldn't have played with her but I was so dumped to play with the girl that doesn't even have a responsibility about friendship or something related to it. But just a saying to that girl, "Hey, nice trick at the beginning of the start. But guess what? I'm not that dumped to figure out by myself that I shouldn't have played with a friend like you who always tries to hurt people without thinking! You know what did I feel about what you said to my friends? I felt so stupid because I couldn't believe in my own eyes that you're a person like that. But guess what? We're done now and I've been brighter to understand the tricks that you used to hurt us." At first, I was planning that maybe that me and my friends could give that girl another chance because she would be better if she deserves a second chance. However, thinking back and forth, those ideas were so unacceptable because she hurt us like a thousand knives stabbing into our heart and why should we give her a chance? Would that help us recover our heart or just making it worse? I would give that girl back everything that she gave to me to recover my friends' hearts. I felt so bad of making a friend with her because I didn't learn anything from her and everyday, she was always making us following what she said. That girl were used to be laughing at us like we are some weirdos. But guess what? "Who's laughing now?"

#Song 22: Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri

- I chose this song because people usually say that love always deeply true. But for me, it's the opposite. My aunt caught my uncle going out with some woman that younger than her age. She was so mad so she called my mom. I wasn't being a stalker but I just heard about their conversation. My feeling was boiling up because I couldn't believe that my uncle is that kind of person, a person with a lie heart. Does he know that that would hurt my aunt a lot? And the day after, my aunt told my uncle that they have to divorce because she can't take this anymore. She thought that he would be a good husband, a good brother-in-law, a good uncle and most of all, a good father. Doesn't he think about his daughter's life? She was only four years old and he did that to her? Going out with some strange woman? Is that going to help him make his life even better? No. At that time, he began to realize that what he did was wrong and he begged for forgive. But guess what, just like the lyrics said, "You're going to catch the cold, from the ice inside your soul. So don't come back for me. Who do you think you're?", his apology was too late because will that saying going to re-cover the pain of my aunt's heart? No because he hurt her so much. Divorcing would always be the end of love because it is the stop of being together. Sometimes, love could happen today in a good way, but tomorrow, it would end soon.

LYRICS (JAR OF HEARTS) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 21: Angel with the Shotgun - The Cab

- I chose this song because I would give up on everything for my friends, my family and even some people that are so close to me. Sometimes, people said that I shouldn't depend on people too much because they aren't related to my life. But guess what? They do. All of them. They help me and correct me even if I made one little, tiny mistake. So now, I should make them feel like what they did was right. Just what the song said, "I'll throw away my faith, babe. Just to keep you safe (...) " It meant so much to me by that saying. It sounds like I would give up on anything, even my faith, for someone that I adore or someone I have my respect with. Somehow, it would make me better. =D Besides, giving up on the people that you love is also a way to show "the volume of love" to them, for example, my family. I love them because they were the ones who I could count on the most, and besides, they were the one who understand me the most. My mom is the one. She knows what I want, what I need to improve, etc.

#Song 20: Stronger - Kelly Clarkson

- I chose this song because when I was in first grade, and yes, that was my first day of school. I was totally afraid of stepping inside the classroom. I felt like it doesn't look like home and it looks so strange. The class were filled with all of the other children which I didn't know. When my mom left, I realized that I was totally lonely but I didn't cry. I just freaked out and stood at the middle of the class, doing totally nothing. But then, my teacher encouraged me that school is like my second home and besides, there are nothing to be afraid. Going to school is another way to learn knowledge and also, it would help me to get braver and more confident. After that, I felt stronger and I came to a group of friends. I asked them if I could join in and they said, "Yes!" Since then, I felt like going to school is fun and there aren't anything to be afraid of. It's just a school and it is where knowledge came from. From there, we can learn many things and we can join into another type of community. And also, in the video, Kelly said "What doesn't kill you make you stronger", I think that I'm feeling that I was really connecting to that saying. Going to school won't kill you because it helps you meet the new society with new people. Besides, it would help you being more brave and stronger while you're facing the world without your parents or even the person that always supports you.

LYRICS (STRONGER) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 19: Perfect - J-Co

- I chose this song because I think that love always contains mistakes. A girl or a boy could easily get jealous when they see their love with someone else which is depending on what gender they are, they would easily getting mad. Some of them might think of revenge by dating another guy/girl which is unacceptable. What if that person who was talking to their love is some of his/her relatives? What if that is their best friend? Love can't guess and love will get easily misunderstanding. Being in love isn't as easy as you think it is. It might begin today but maybe it would end tomorrow. It's the faith and we can't change the faith that God upon the sky had planned. We have to follow what God makes us to do. This song showed how people who are in love being misunderstanding with each other. But at last, they found out that they were wrong about their love because their love was the one who completed the heart that had frozen in many years. They are the one that you can count on the most and also, no-one going to love you more than they do because they understand and forgive the person that you really are. In the song, the lyrics mention a line that said, "Have you ever lost someone? Tryna take it back but the damage is done", I think that it means if you have make that mistake and it hurts that person too bad, you won't going to get back the deeply true memories that you and your love had been together. Just one hardly touch can hurt them painfully which is also could break your heart apart like it used to be. A friend of mine was hurting my friends and myself and at last, she lost everything. All of the sweetest memories that she'd been with us when we were still best friends. She hurt us like a thousand times of stabbing a knife into our hearts. She made a mistake, a big one and she should have been painful about it, but I think that she deserved it because that was what she get from hurting friends like us.

LYRICS (PERFECT) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 18: Count on me - Bruno Mars

- I chose this song because I used to count on some close people of me. I've been friends with them for like one year so I guess that I know their traits pretty well. They used to give me some trusts and I think that I can follow them because I know that they are the best people to count on. Sometimes, they made me down a lot because they told me felt countless on them for some bad reasons that they made at some points, but anyways, I don't care. I would keep on the faith of having some trusts on them. Trusts are what every single friends need because if a friend is in a bad mood and he/she needs someone to count on, you will be the one who got her trusts. "You can count on me like one, two, three, I'll be there (..)", it means that whenever my friends need me, I'll be there for them at anytime because that is what friends have to do, be there if someone needs you. Your friend will feel that feeling that you gave to them and they will make you count on them like four, three, two. <3

LYRICS (COUNT ON ME) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 17: Turn up the music - Lemonade Mouth

- I chose this song because oh my god.. I love music! You know why? Because music is my best friend. When I am bored, I have music besides me. (: Some of them are super awesome but some of them are at intermediate level. Music makes us feel more fresh and it can get reach of the stresses that we've to handle it all day long. Music also makes some people happier from the bad things or lucks that just happened to them in a sudden way. I began to listen to music when I was 3 years old. Well, Vietnamese musics that for kids of course, but now, I changed my style of listening to music. I listen to some English musics to develop on my English-Listening Skills. When I'm listening to music, I can feel the theme and the tone of the music, sometimes sad and sometimes joyful. Like people said, good music makes good people and I came to believe that it is true. "Let's the music groove you, let the melody move you." means that the music has a melody that will make you addict to it. I love the way the composer composed the song with thousand of ideas and many kinds of sayings that hook the listeners into it.

#Song 16: Lost In You - Three Days Grace

- I chose this song because me and my friends are usually have some fights that doesn't worth to be happen. Sometimes, when my friends were trying to apologize to me, I kept ignoring them and blaming them all the things that happened in real life. I almost lost a friend because I shouted at her and I told her secrets out loud to people that closed to me in my old school. It wasn't worth it because thinking back and forth, I think that it wouldn't make my life be better when I lost a friend. So, the next day, I apologized to her and we became friends again. I still remember her until now. In the song, there was a line "I remember when I said I'm nothing without you". That was what I said to a friend of mine when I was trying to apologize. Friendship will break if you don't know the way to gently love it. I think that line was very meaningful because it showed how I would be when I lost my friend.

LYRICS (LOST IN YOU) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 15: Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson

- I chose this song because it talks about parents' fights. Sometime, in my life, my parents were having fights that could lead them to divorce. I used to have a nightmare about my parents got separated and me and my brother had to choose one between two. That is not what I want. I want my family to be happy. I remembered one day, my dad was too stressed about his work so he putted all of the stuffs on my mother's head. She couldn't handle it anymore so she began to shout at my father. Then my father took the car and went out for 2 hours. I thought I couldn't have a chance to see him again. But luckily, he came back and he apologized to my mother. It was 1a.m in the morning. Me and my little brother stayed up til' 1a.m because we couldn't sleep. It was so luckily because they got back together. Sometimes, parents got themselves into some big fights and that is the worst thing that could happen to their children. I love this chorus of the song:

 "Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid"

 I think that it means that because of my dad, my mom hurts. My mom's heart was totally broken and she didn't even talk to my dad like two-three days. I tried to calm her down but she was just keep ignoring me. Parents sometimes got into this situation that they got stuck forever and sometimes, it may lead to horrible effects. 

LYRICS (BECAUSE OF YOU) - [AVAILABLE)

#Song 14: Strangers like me - Phil Collins

- I chose this song because when the first time I came to this school, I didn't know anyone at all. I felt like left-out in a whole big community. But my goal at that time was to be fit in with each other and somehow, I could learn more about the other students. I tried to get a high grade in each quarter and I tried to make friends with others. Wow... I couldn't believe that it would work! Friends began to play with me and at that time, I didn't feel left-out at all. I'd learned a very helpful moral: "Learn what you need to learn, know what you need to know." In the song, Phil Collins said "I wanna know, can you show me?" It sounds like he is begging for helps from other people that isn't strangers at all. They were getting used to this setting so they got nothing to be afraid off. From that people, I realized that I have to begin to get use to a new life, a new society and also, a brand-new start.

 LYRICS (STRANGERS LIKE ME) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 13: Safe and sound - Taylor Swift

- I chose this song because during the Civil War of Vietnam, many of people had sacrificed themselves for their country and those people had died for the love of their country. American and French bombed our country without love and hope. They wanted to take over our country, but however, all of the Vietnamese soldiers had fought with hopes to take back and save our country from the invaders. When I was listening to this song, I felt that without those brave soldiers who died for Vietnam, there wouldn't be a country with independence and freedom like now. "You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now" gave me so much memories about those brave soldiers that agreed to give up on their lives for their own country and now, they said we are safe now because those enemies had gave up. I am so proud of my country and also, those soldiers who sacrificed themselves for their beloved country.

LYRICS (SAFE AND SOUND) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 12: A new day has come - Celine Dion

- "A new day has come" by Celine Dion means a lot. It made me reminded of my grandmother who had passed away. I really miss her. I used to go to the place where people buried her dead-body. I saw a picture of her. Wow.. you know what I think? She is so beautiful. Much more beautiful than any other women. I heard from my dad said that my grandmother passed away because she was so weak and when she passed away, the Vietnamese War was still going. Because of that reason, there were no stronger medicine that could save her so they let her chose her choice. I know it hurts a lot for my father because my grandmother was my father's mom and as you can feel, if we lose our mom, then there wouldn't any love left in our life because a mother and a dad is all we need in our life. "Everyone told me to be strong 'Hold on, and don't shed a tear," made me suddenly want to cry because how couldn't I shed a tear for my dear grandmother. She didn't deserve to die! She deserved to live and enjoy the rest of her life with her grandchildren and her children.You are going to feel ashamed because you missed all of the memories with your parents. So please enjoy what you got.

 LYRICS (A NEW DAY HAS COME) - [AVAILABLE] 

#Song 11: I love you - Arvil Lavigne

- I chose this song because I really love my friends and my family. If someday I've gone away from home, I will still miss them the most because they brought me many sweet childhood memories. I really appreciate it. I swear to God that someday, I'm going to love them more than I loved them. Someday, I would be very thankful because I got someone to love, to remember and to miss. I used to imagine that one day, I'm going to lose them and if I'm not loving them, that's going to be a bad chance to say that I love them. So now, even though they are driving me insane, but still, I'll try to calm down and solve problems. I want to tell them that I love them very much and the one I love, you know who you are (:

I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that’s not why I love you

I don't love those people because they are popular or they are some kind of stylish girls. I love them the way they are because the real them will show me the real traits of them and also, if they are faking their feelings to me, they won't going to see the true feelings from me to them because they treated me bad so what do you think? Am I going to treat them good or bad?

LYRICS (I LOVE YOU) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 10: You'll be in my heart - Phil Collins

- I chose this song because I want to show the love of me to people who I love and I gently miss when I'm gone. They are all of my trusts and they are all I wanted. I love my parents as big as this song because they were the one who raised me up and took care of me. They are the closest people who I need to survive. Besides, I have my friends to share my happiness to and they are the only one that I can get some helpful advices for. We need each other to breathe and we need each other to survive on this planet. I wouldn't going to be survive if I don't have them in my heart. People who treated me nice and they shared loves, friendships with me, those people are the people who shone my world. :) My heart will always have them inside because I feel warm when I have them supporting me whenever I am. =3 "You'll be in my heart.No matter what they say. You'll be here in my heart, always" 

 LYRICS (YOU'LL BE IN MY HEART) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 9: Invisible - Taylor Swift

- I chose this song because when I was in first grade, I met a girl and she was my best friend. One day, we got into a fight and we didn't talk with each other like... two weeks. And then she tried to play with the other girls who is extremely popular but she didn't get to fit in. She was being invisible and she felt very lonely. After two weeks, I went to her locker and sent her a note that said, "Wanna be friends again? " And she agreed. From there, we were friends again and I made her visible again. Sometimes, people made mistakes that would make them being fade. Being fade is not their fades. Their fates are to be visible to everyone, to be friends with everyone. That's the point of being visible.

If you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.

If she didn't join into those ditching groups, she wouldn't be invisible. But instead, she would be miracle and wonderful because she would be so happy so have a friend that always loves her and knows the true person that she is.

LYRICS (INVISIBLE) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 8: Mean - Taylor Swift

- I chose this song because there are so many mean people at school, outside of the school and  even in every country. I don't know why people are keep being mean to each other. Will that help you getting better? No. Because if you're being mean to each other, it means that you're also being mean to yourself because they're going to get their revenges. For example, if you're being mean to a friend of yours, and the next time, you need help and that person is very smart at that kind of subject that you're stuck with. Well, that's going to be to late because your friend is already wanted to get away from you and he/she doesn't want to get any communicate with you because you were being mean to them. "Why you gotta be so mean?" Will that help you being nicer?

LYRICS (MEAN) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 7: More than a friend - Stevie Hoang

- I chose this song to dedicate to all of my best friends, but mostly my two best friends that I called my "sisters", Pearl and Jenny. I love you guys so much that I can't stop loving you guys. You guys showed me what is right and what is truly wrong. You guys calmed me down when I was too over-reacting. Sometimes, I was kind of upset and so I yelled at you guys but truly, I'm sorry and I didn't mean it. Pearl was my best friend since 5th grade until now. She was my closest sister of all because she always be there for me. Jenny was the most kindest best friend that I've ever known. She shared everything with me and she always there for me when I need her advices. You guys are always "More than a friend" to me. I love you guys a lot <33. I will never forget you guys =] Thanks girls! You guys have shared the best two years in this school with me. I'm so glad that I've got you guys beside me! I don't know how is my life going to be if I don't have you guys beside.. "Will you be more than a friend?"

LYRICS (MORE THAN A FRIEND) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 6: If I die young - The Band Perry

- I chose this song because I miss my grandmother. I didn't get a chance to see her face because she died so young. She died during the World War II because she was sick and besides, she gave birth so many children, include my dad. She didn't have enough energy to survive so she passed away in the age of 39. Everyday, I keep asking myself the same question, "I wonder is my grandmother as beautiful as a rose?" But that came to be unknown. I wish that for you all who still have their grandparents, please love them because if they pass away someday, you will be very sorry:

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

I was almost fall a tear down on my face of this chorus. If I was there, I hope that these were all of the things she wants me to do. And I'll follow it because I love her so much that I couldn't say.

LYRICS (IF I DIE YOUNG) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 5: Iridescent - Linkin Park

- I chose this song because it sounds so beautiful <3 . First of all, I think there are so many homeless people around the world and I felt very pity for them. I wish they could have a home like I have and I wish they could be warm by their parents like I have. When I see some homeless children between 4-7 years old, I felt like I already got so many lucks and I should enjoy it because those homeless and abandoned children don't have a "home-sweet-home" like I have. They are alone and they have no-one to be with, no-one to love and no-one to be love. I wish that I could help them, only one thing was enough. "Do you feel cold and lost in devastation?" They would feel very cold because they don't have anyone beside. Their parents would have abandoned them alone at the corner of the street. I wish I could warm them with some sweet loves from me to those poor people, who had to survive at the middle of nowhere.

LYRICS (IRIDESCENT) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 4: This is my paradise - Bridgit Mendler

- I chose this song because it sounds very excited and humorous. I love to go on holiday because I can get reach of all of the stresses that kept annoying me. I felt like I am definitely in heaven because being on a holiday is the best thing to do. We can run around on the beach and having fun with our family or friends. We can feel like we are out of those works that we have to do everyday and instead, we can enjoy our break and feel our happiness again. "This is my paradise!"

LYRICS (THIS IS MY PARADISE) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 3: How to save a life - The Fray

 - I chose this song because around me, I've heard about so many news about racism and bullying. I think that this song related because it told about how people feeling bad about themselves because they are different from other people and some of them got bullied by others. I felt very bad for those who was being racism because for example, in the United States, there are tons of news about racism between Black-Americans and White-Americans. However, I think that even though we are totally different from other people but we're living in one planet, one home, one place so we need to see each others as a family. "Somewhere along in the bitterness", they were so pity because they were alone with no people to hope. People just go over them and stare with a contempt eyes, viewing them like animals. That was the worst thing that I've ever heard of. Most of those homeless people got some partners so they could count on, however, some lost their partners. Black people in America are being contempt a lot so that most of the White-American people killed them with no mercy.

LYRICS (HOW TO SAVE A LIFE) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 2: Looking Back - Frankie J

- This song was made by a half-Vietnamese, half-American girl with the Youtube account named JellyScent. I chose this song because my aunt and her husband which is my uncle were having a fight because her husband seemed to be ignoring the life of his wife and his 6-years-old daughter. But I was trying to encourage my aunt to try to moving on and heading to the future, not looking back because it would hurt a lot like tons of knives stabbing her heart. However, she didn't listen to me... She was looking back and she cried a lot. She didn't want to lose her husband because she still loves him but instead, he doesn't. Sometimes, I felt very sad for my cousin because she didn't deserve a life like i have. "You say your heart is on the edge" which means that her heart is now at an end-road, doesn't know which way to get reach of. A woman who has to handle a big shock from a husband that gave her a lie love. Who does he think he is? Does he have a right to hurt a person that he loves? Especially, that person is his wife? I couldn't believe that my uncle has such a cold heart!

LYRICS (LOOKING BACK) - [AVAILABLE]

#Song 1: The lazy song - Bruno Mars

- I chose this song because I am obviously a very lazy girl. While I was enjoying my weekend, I just stayed on my bed, sleeping and what else? Nothing. Totally nothing. Sometimes, I read books, thick ones but then, I slept from noon til' 7.00 p.m then I woke up. For somebody, they might think that I'm a very hard-working girl but guess what? They are quite right but not totally because I am lazy. I'm not lazy to do my homework but I'm lazy to do everything that people told me to do. I usually do homework when I'm bored or I have nothing else to do, sometimes, when people were forcing me to do something when I had nothing to do. They made me to find one thing to do and that's just so weird. So if you ever ask me what I'm going to do anything today? I would say "'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything, nothing at all."
