Mentally Exhausted...

Listening to a song called "Drift Away" by Magnetic North. I've never heard of them, and literally, I was introduced to them a couple minutes ago by a really close friend of mine. I miss him so :( ...

So, how is everyone's summer going so far? I know we've only barely scratched the surface, since its only July, but still. I've already had such an adventurous week. Strenuous and annoying, but fun and rewarding altogether. Spent a week at a camp, helping out little children with performing arts. Greeeat...

LOL So I have some questions here, let's tackle them one by one. I can only get through three, so let's see who the lucky ones are...

Q: There is this girl that I have been friends with forever, and I'm starting to have feelings for her. I don't know what I should do... should I tell her how I feel, or should I keep my mouth shut just so that we can stay such good friends? - Don't Wanna Be FriendZoned, via Tumblr

JAAG: Oh my goodness, its like you have been stalking me :) Firstly, I've been in your situation before, so let me just say that it has its pros and cons. On one hand, you know everything about this girl, what she likes, dislikes, and stuff like that. On the other hand, you hit the nail on the head: if anything happens, what happens to your friendship? After going through something like that twice, I feel like anything can change and you can get back to where you were after waiting it out a bit.
I was exploring on Youtube before I began this post, and I found this song that can totally relate to your situation... and honestly, I'm falling in love with this guy, right here <3 Jason Chen, Chinese cutie <3 Enjoy, and good luck! It's called "Best Friend" by Jason Chen

Q: All my boyfriend can talk to me about is sex. He won't talk to me about anything else, but I'm not ready for sex. What can I do? - via Twitter

JAAG: Sweetheart, he is totally not worth your time. LEAVE HIM! LOL Okay, so I shouldn't tell you how to live your relationships... but at the same time, take this as a warning flag. The only reason he isn't leaving you yet is that he really really wants you to have sex with him. Turn the tables and take off on him first. This guy isn't worth your time.. find someone that will treaet you and your virginity as a gift.

Q: Gift ideas for my parents' 20th wedding anniversary?? - via Twitter

JAAG: Good for your parents, making it at 20 years already! And good for you for going to get them a gift! :) Honestly, you will probably know your parents way way better than I do... but a really good gift idea is a scrapboo/photo album to showcase all the wonderful memories that you as a family have shared. That's my personal favourite :) Good luck on finding a gift for them!

WOW. New boyfriend up there ^^ Jason Chen <3

LOL In my dreams.

Life is going pretty well, so it seems. Someone is going to Florida in August... someone named MEEEE <3 Also, love life seems t be going pretty spectacular, someone asked me about that the other day. It's going great! The best time is always to be in love with someone,  I guess, that time before you're in a relationship and just crushing on them :) Makes you dream more...

oh well. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! Also, enjoy some randomness here... www.mariachelle-annaclare.tumblr.com :)

my new song - Waterfall (That's Me)

written by yours truly and the lovely and amazing Aaron Chan :)

Waterfall (That's Me)

(Verse 1)

You once were someone I could see the future with

But I guess I was wrong

I guess I was wrong

You were the one I wanted to be with

But I guess you moved on

Thinkin' I could be strong

(Pre-chorus)

Well now I don't want you to come back for me

No I don't need you

Don't tell me...

(Chorus)

We had it all

Our life was perfect

Baby just take a step back

That's not the truth 'cause our love

Crashed down like a waterfall

You tell me it's not the end 

You want us to still be friends

The love is ending

So stop pretending

Like you don't see

The girl in front of you crying 

That's me

(Verse 2)

We once had something magical

But I guess I was blind

I guess I was blind

You told me that day you loved me

But I guess that's a lie

Stringin' me along for the ride

(Pre-Chorus)

Well now I don't want you to make things right

No I don't need you

Don't tell me...

(Chorus)

We had it all

Our life was perfect

Baby just take a step back

That's not the truth 'cause our love

Crashed down like a waterfall

You tell me it's not the end 

You want us to still be friends

The love is ending

So stop pretending

Like you don't see

The girl in front of you crying 

That's me

(Bridge)

Standing in the rain

Waiting for me to knock some sense into my brain

You tell me it's not good bye

You want me to try

To start all over again

(Well) You hope too much and are set too high

Telling me I'm throwing it all away

But did you know there once was a day

I wanted you to be mine

(Pre-chorus)

Well now I don't want you to come back for me

No I don't need you

Don't tell me...

(key change!)

(Chorus)

We had it all

Our life was perfect

Baby just take a step back

That's not the truth 'cause our love

Crashed down like a waterfall

You tell me it's not the end 

You want us to still be friends

The love is ending

So stop pretending

Like you don't see

The girl in front of you crying 

That's me

Crash down like a waterfall ~

*hehehe ha, so that's our song. hope to perform it someday.

** Written in F Major - key change to G Major after bridge.

hey! check it out... :D

Simple Plan ft. Natasha Bedingfield - 'Jet Lagged'

This is one of the newer Simple Plan songs, but a really, really nice one. I really like this one. I should watch the video sometime...

So, I hope that everyone's summer is going well so far. The first day of summer was June 21st, but still.. it's never too early to ask how everyone's summer is going! :)

Wow. It's June, so it's kind of like, 2011 is halfway through. I can't bring myself to say 'halfway gone' because that sounds really depressing... but yeah, 2011, halfway through? REALLY? ALREADY?! D:

Yeah, so check this out... this is called 'Summer Lovin' (Perfect)'

When I first saw you that day in the summer

I fell for you faster than ever

Imagining all the things we could have been

Having a rough time letting you go

What we had was perfect

What i saw in you was perfect

that day by the water

under a vast blue sky

it was just you and i

and now it's gone

the image of us gone...summer lovin'

Sitting there in September waiting to hear your voice again

the leaves start to fall, like our love through my fingers

all the things i wanted, never came true 

having a rough time seeing this through

What we had was perfect

What i saw in you was perfect

that day by the water

under a vast blue sky

it was just you and i

and now it's gone

the image of us gone...summer lovin'

waiting for you in the snow as it...as it falls like pride from my eyes

waiting for you as the flowers start to bloom, stuck under showery skies

what we had was perfect

what i saw in you was perfect

i swear i got to you under the summer sun

it was just you and i... and now it's gone

the image of us gone...

What we had was perfect

What i saw in you was perfect

that day by the water

under a vast blue sky

it was just you and i

and now it's gone

the image of us gone...summer lovin'

this is my new, actual legit song named Summer Lovin'. I don't actually know who this is about..but yeah, I finally have a legit song! :)

well, hope that this summer will inspire people to find summer love...but hopefully, yours will stay true all through the year unlike the tone of this song. ;)

STAY OUT OF TROUBLE AND DON'T FORGET TO SMILE! Peace and love and such...
