#stopthehate

I've been noticing a lot of hate on Twitter directed to one specific person lately: Taylor Swift. Maybe it's just because of the people I follow. I know this is none of my business, but it just kills me to see all this hate. In an ideal world, everyone would get along and there'd be no hate. But this isn't the ideal world. This is real life. And this just happens. Ever since I saw that "I'm breaking up with you, now I'll go make another 2.2 million dollars" quote on FaceBook and Tumblr back when they were dating, I knew there would be even more Taylor Swift hate after they broke up. I saw like five pictures on Instagram of hate picture quotes. Why do people do this? I don't know. Cuz they have nothing better to do. Or maybe cuz they want to. But you can't always get what you want right? This is real life. I posted an entire paragraph on this hate picture on Instagram, and the user deleted it. Why? My thoughts are because he/she doesn't want anyone on Taylor's side because you're a Directioner. But just because you're a Directioner doesn't mean anything related to Taylor Swift. A Direction is a true fan of One Direction; one who will stay by their side no matter what will happen. Those haters of Taylor? Not much of a Directioner, are they? I'm a Directioner and a Swiftie and I respect them all :) Why so much Taylor hate? Not like she did anything wrong. And by wrong, I don't just mean writing songs about her exes. Which by the way, are very clever and witty.

Why so much hate? It's not like they were mean to you. And Directioners who hate Taylor, you're not a true Directioner.

Do you realize that all this hate is called bullying? Yes, haters are bullies, whether you know it or not. So STOP.

This post isn't just for Taylor Swift hate, but other hate as well. I've seen so much Justin Bieber hate.

If you agree, tag #stopthehate with your posts on Instagram and Twitter! We need more love! Hating needs to stop. Hate can't wait. It needs to end, one small step at a time.

We live in a world full of hate, jealousy, and selfishness. We need to make it stop.

Carpe Diem

Carpe Diem 

This was an English assignment. Our teacher had us write a carpe diem (literally meaning "seize the day") poem.

Brainstorming: We were in the same class when you saw me. I was sitting there, enjoying myself, when I noticed you staring at me. Three years had gone by and you’re still the same way. I got pulled into your trap and liked you too. We’re both too afraid to tell each other “I love you”. Why did we waste those three years? Finally, you talk to me. But it’s not about this, it’s bout that. Why didn’t you ask me? Why didn’t I ask you? In a few years I may not feel the same way.

So come on, just tell me. Live While You're Young and drench yourself in teenage love.

The actual thing:

We have just one chance.

I was just sitting there when I caught your glance.

Years go by and you’re still the same.

I went along and played your little game.

Afraid of love, we wasted our time,

Pondering our thoughts,we didn’t let them shine.

Too afraid to approach, we didn’t give love a go,

Time goes by, and we may never know.

Time is ticking away; is there a possibility?

We ponder our thoughts and let it pass by.

Come on, have fun

Will you be the one?

Live while you’re young and free yourself

In this crazy thing that they call love.

Capture the moment, remember it

Play it back a thousand times

But it only lasts while you’re in it.

Scratchwork:

Version 1:
We have just one chance.

I was just sitting there when I caught your glance.

Years go by and you’re still the same.

I went along and played your game.

Afraid of love, we wasted our time,

Pondering our thoughts, we didn’t let them shine.

Too afraid to approach, we didn’t go,

In some time we may not know.

Come on, drench yourself with your thirst,

You ask me, or I shall ask first?

Live while you’re young and free yourself

In this crazy thing they call love.

Go on, have fun, live while you’re young

Take a chance, and make it fun

Version 2:

We live for only so long

Sometimes we wish time would stop

We think, we do, and we dream

We let these things slip away

Version 3:

You live just once

So why let it slip away?

We have our love and hate

We let it go

We have our ups and downs

We don’t think about it

Version 4:
We have just one chance

Time is ticking away so take your stance

We ponder our thoughts and let it be

The clock is ticking; it will never cease

Go on, have fun, live while you’re young

Capture it, remember these moments

We dream big, but live small

I made many version of this. Just thought I'd share it with you.

This is actually true. It happened to me. It's not about him. Guess who?

Tehehe :D

Okay, so since I'm a TA, I do a lot of things like enter stuff into the gradebook.

And when I'm on the gradebook, I like to search the students. 

So, I learned his full name.

And I laughed. On the inside. I mean, seriously, how weird is it for a random girl to crack up in the middle of class?

His full name:

Parker Samuel van Loan :DDDDD

I tried to Google Parker van Loan. And I got something. He was on cross-country at my middle school. And I tried to see if he has a FaceBook, but apparently not. Since I'm TA, I can search for his address and stuff. Ooh-la-la! Haha!
So I was Googling on how to search for a student's information and now I know how. Watch out Parker, here I come!

My Weird Embarrassing Secret

Okay, so I'm a teacher aide for my English teacher. And she has her freshmen English class. So there's this kid who likes me, but I don't like him. And there's another kid who I like and I dunno if he likes me. I'm sensing he does, but hey, what do I know?

But it's so weird. It's like a 4 year age difference. And I'm older than them. Is that weird?

I Knew It

I guess I'm happy? They broke up? I read it on my, well his, FaceBook profile.

I know because I didn't see them together at all today.

Should I be happy?

Scars

Scars (06/14/11)
Jenny Chan

I know I'm not perfect
I'm not some model in some magazine
I know it's not worth it
To try to become someone else and not be me
We all have some things
We don't love about ourselves
But then we look into ourselves and realize
We wouldn't wanna be anybody eles

ChorusWe all have our scars
We've all been burnt
We all have our ways
We've all been hurt
Things are said that aren't meant
We've all been misled
That leaves us with
Our scars

With your friends around
Teasing you all day
Saying you aren't good enough for them
And that you should change your ways
Step back, relax, and enjoy yourself in your beautiful ways
If they are your friends, they wouldn't be so mean, you see?
Cause you're special in a different way

Repeat Chorus

When you look into a mirror
Finding someone really strange
Is it that you see
Strange has become the new perfect
You know you're perfect in many ways

Chorus 
We all have had our scars
We've all been hurt in some way
Our friends say things
That they don't want
We've all been hurt
We're left with our scars

We've all been broken until it hurts
That leaves us with our scars

Live My Dream

Live My Dream

By Jenny Chan

03.22.09

Why am I just an ordinary girl?

Living in a crazy world

Don’t wanna be the one

Who always is shy?

I don’t wanna be the one who’s not recognized

This ain't my day

I wanna go my own way

Chorus

I just wanna live my dream

Like it always seemed to be

Wanna rock out and stay, and party out

And never have a bedtime
Just wanna go my own way

And have my dream-day

Wanna be cool

Don't have to worry 'bout school

Don’t hafta be cool

Don’t wanna always stay in school

But it just so hard

To be a part of something I’ve always dreamt of

I’ve had enough!
I wanna be like Hannah

And live a double life

As a schoolgirl, but also in a differtnt world

Repeat Chorus

Don’t wanna be the girl always laughed at

Or the girl always being teased

Just wanna be a girl

Just an ordinary little girl

Wanna be everything that I can be

Don’t hafta be fabulous, don’t need much bling

Don’t really need everything

Don’t need to be cool to stay in school

Wanna be a girl...

Just an ordinary little girl

Wanna be everything I can be

Don’t hafta be fabulous

Don’t really need everything

But I can start

My own life

But don’t have to

Don’t need to be cool

To stay in school

Just like an ordinary person

Just a buncha friends

Is all you need

To keep you company

Chorus #2

Just wanna live dream

Cuz it’s always seemed to be

Just rock on and party on!

Just going my own ways

I've always wanted to be in theatre arts

And take a part

I’m always so shy

At home, I sing my heart out

But out there I don’t spout

I can't, but I wanna

I just big wannabe

A big wanna-be...

Chorus #2

I've always wanted to do this

Don’t wanna miss this I'm just letting my heart out

And SHOUT!

This is real ME.

I wrote this a long time ago (12?), so it's not that great.
