LIVE FOR TODAY
livin' for todayy
It has been, more than two years since i've blogged here.
I've continued to blog of course,
my language has changed, as well as the things i usually talk about.

I'm still quite the same person, in that i don't blog about my schedule though i've found myself doing that a bit more now.
I've changed, very much, in terms of looks and the things that i do.

I've always loved acting and singing, and now,
i'm glad to say that i am a whole lot closer to my dreams(of being involved in the media) now compared to two years ago.

couple of pictures from my most recent Photoshoot with Teenage Magazine,
taken just yesterday.
and update really.

I've also left my Government school,
Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' Secondary School.

It's a disgustingly long story,
but bottom line,
is that as much as i still do, and always will love the school i have grown up in,
i just couldn't stand being in such a rigid and anal place.

To a certain extent it was about being held back a year and all,
on top of being suspended anyway,
but i just didn't really want to have to force myself to stay in that kind of environment where i couldn't, at the end of the day, work or learn properly and would always have to look over my shoulder.

Right now i'm in a private school and gawd, i'm infinitely happier.
i'm studying better, and doing exactly what i love.
Actively involved in acting and singing,
i have found that being involved with the media is a much easier goal to reach than it ever was before.

I've also come back here to, more than update you,
whoever "you" might be,
it's to provide a link to my new blog.

When i just started out that blog,
i wanted to keep it as private as possible.
Coming from a school where employees blog hop and used blog contents against students,
i didn't want that.
Thus, the huge secrecy.

of course, i realized, that lots of unknown people come to my blog anyway.

being a bit of a ditz, i've never quite figured that out.
but hello, i mean, when you blog or set up a new blog, and don't release your blog address, you don't quite expect people to know about it.
Yet, somehow they just do.

So just in case there've actually been people who still view this blog
(and are just about giving up on it, two years IS a lot of time)
here is the link to my "new" blog:

http://withloveme.blogspot.com

"New" because, it's not very new now is it?
haha.

Having just gone through a recent breakup with the guy i was still talking about during my last few posts here,
my blog is a bit of an emo bitch.
do be a bit more tolerant of my rants and all,
as well as the whole dark layout thing going on.

this other blog, when i realized that many unknowns go there anyway,
has been like mentioned on stuff like BlogTV as well as Kids Central's Hi! Tech.

the address has been plugged over and over,
and i was, for like five minutes, given the title of
"celebrity blogger"

oh laugh all you want.

but anyway, if you've kept on reading this unchanging blog post,
Thank you and you can now move on(:

now, there's really nothing stopping you from reading my blog, is there?

Just in case it interests you, i've got another blog, specially for all my poems.
Most of them are original and yes, copyrighted,
and i do also put up a few poems which i like very much.

http://wordsof-emotion.blogspot.com

enjoy.

all my love, and a little more.

xoxo

i've changed my blog .
no,
i havn't tired of this one .
i've just,
decided it was time for a change .
i'm not going to display my blog address for all to see,
if you see it,
you do .
i'm not deleting this blog either,
too many memories i'd like to keep .
too much to say goodbye to
and i can't .
i simply can't .

basically this is to bid thee farewell .
there isn't a link to archives but i'll still be able to read back though .
haha .
and i'll lose myself in the world of a thirteen year old where everything was black and gothic .
and screw this screw that,
to hell with everything .
haha .

i've changed .
for the worse or better i don't know .
i know im a year older now .
i know i'm just that bit closer to leaving singapore .
i know deep down,
i'm still an emotional someone who'd cry over the littlest things .

but anyways,
goodbye and goodnight .
i've loved having you read my blog .
don't let anything stop you from continuing .

i set up the lamp i got mummy in her room=]
she liked it .
haha .

happy mother's day to all mummy's out there .
damn i can't wait to be one myself .
haha .
Charis Vera `livedd @ 2:38:00 am

i've been in a good mood this whole week and i don't think there'll be much to bring it down =]
we don't have school this friday .
yipee .

i managed to get about three solid hours of sleep in the late afternoon,
amazingly .
i should do it more often .
it makes me feel nice=]

in this fast paced life we live in,
there's hardly anytime to stop and smile at someone .
even if that someone is your mummy or daddy .
but you should .
you should stop and smile,
ask how one's day went and bother to listen to the response .
the closest anyone gets to greetings is

" wassup man,how's it been going?"

" my life is in pieces,im flunking everythings in school,
my parents are on the verge of divorce and my older brother's and alcoholic ."

response:
"that's great mann, keep it cool ."

so much for listening .
then the person 2 commits suicide and person 1 goes into the camera
"duude, i don't know what happened .i just talked to him the other day,he seemed fine .check out my jump shot, i've been practising"

hope you get what im pointing out .
honestly speaking though,
it makes me smile saying hi to the school attendants .
this one old man in particular who i happened to see in bishan once,
with his grandson .

appalled that it had slipped my mind,
i was reminded that these people do have lives of their own .
they do have children and families to go back to,
most of them anyway .
many look upon the school with disgust,
turning their back on them,holding their breath as they pass .
a look of contempt visible on their faces .
i find that sad .
not that the school attendants would care,
but though i know i'm not an amazing student who abides by school rules and belts the school song at the top of my lungs,
i am proud of the school i'm in and i'm glad of the values they'd like to instil in us .

how could anyone ever forget that PL wants us to leave as gracious ladies who are a blessing to society?
i'm not overly nice, honestly speaking .
but i don't treat school attendants like invisible things which carry rubbish .

bringing me to another point which im suprised no one has written to the school about .
bus seats -

not just pl-lites of course but i noticed two the other day,
they sat on the outer of two seats .
no problem with that,many feel safer that way .
but they didn't move even as the bus slowly filled up with more people .
they didn't even move to make way for another pl-lite .

gee .
now i sound like a teacher .
haha .

honestly,
i'm glad when people put in to the school about their expectations of us as pl-lites and telling the principal where we've gone wrong .
as the principal said,it's better than them gossiping about the school behind our backs .

i'm tired about droning on a bout the last subject on earth i thought i'd talk about .haha .

im off .
Charis Vera `livedd @ 12:33:00 pm

how childish some people can get .
shall not harp on further .
im tired .

i typed out a beautifully long post just now, except it got eaten up .
screw technology .
i'd much rather sit reading a book than squint at tiny words on the computer screen .
any day .

anyway,
i'm starting to miss my mummy's ex-husband .
yes,
that would mean the father of both myself and my sister .

perhaps it's because of this wonderfully gorgeous book im reading .
maybe .

husband facing midlife crisis leaves wife with two children aged eight and six and goes of to live with his bimbo of a secretary ten years his junior who he claims he is "very much in love with " and "cannot possibly cotemplate life without" .

blood-chillingly famaliar .
except she wasn't his secretary of course .she was some ms independant who bloody earns more than he and he's the one forking bills for everything though that honestly shouldnt be a problem, but can't seem to pay for his daughter's tuition fees, the daughter who by the way, is taking her bloody PSLE this year and who needs as much help as she can possibly get .
and he also can't pay for tuition fees for his older daughter,insisting she bargain with her chinese tutor for a lower charge of fees .

difference is that in the book,
the father still spends time with his kids .
at least for the moment .
in real life it's different .
the young bimbotic girlfriend gets whiney and
BAM .
the kids are outta his life as easily as he kissed his first wife goodbye .
wait,
easier .

the thing with my relationship with my daddy is that we can have a goodbye good time together .honest mistake,i'm sorry .
as in,
we are capable of having a good time together .
but recently,
hah .

maybe it's because we're growing up to fast for him .
last year's birthday was "happy birthday darling"
from which he then proceeded to make me guess my own age .
no doubt to refresh his own memory of how old his oldest daughter was .
more recently there's a point where he leans close and studies my ear and starts counting and recounting the number of earholes i have .
which by the way,
is not alot .
i have four on my right and two on my left, hardly worth staring at for ages over .
then he nags and goes on about how come mummy lets me pierce so much .
one of the last rows we had occurred when i got pissed off and said
"if i were living with you,i'd be alot more pierced .mann i mean alot more pierced"
then he created a whole hulabaloo about me not respecting him just because i don't live with him .

the last time i met up with him,
wait,when was the last time i met up with him?hah .
i do remember the last time we ATTEMPTED to meet up though .
but we scratched those plans in the end because darling bimbo wanted to go swim where we were heading to play squash .
what is bloody wrong with you woman!
you see this man,the man you have wrenched out of a family,
seven days a week and for five hours you cannot leave him alone with his children?
what is wrong with you?
but he gets all defensive of course .
"auntie chng just wants to go for a swim .i don't understand why you have to be so harsh towards her"
go swim somewhere else then, like somewhere far far away from us where we won't see you flitting from beach chair to beach chair in some skimpy suit .

no,
i havnt seen her do that yet but it comes as no suprise and i can imagine her doing nothing else besides that .

in the end we didn't go out .
he said he texted me on my birthday but i received nothing .
giving him the benefit of the doubt and blaming say,screwed up phone lines which does often cause messages not to be received,upon hearing from your ex wife that your daughter did not receive your texted birthday wishes,why not try sending again?
in fact,
why not call?
actually,
why not turn up at her doorstop with a bouquet and make her think the world is perfect for one fleeting moment since you left her mother and sent her perfect world crashing?

ah,the things you could do but don't .

i texted him on his birthday sending birthday wishes though .
only due to the prompting of mummy or course .
i held back the words
"and im sending this because unlike some, i don't let minor tiffs get in the way of wishing someone a happy birthday"

i cannot believe i have wasted a whole blog post on him .
but there,
i love and hate him,my mummy's ex-husband .
my biological daddy .

the person my sister still puts upon a pedastal and defends whenever i show the slightest hint of anger towards him .
for crying out loud .

i don't understand the anger inside me at the moment .
i think it's fuelled by the fact that i'm missing him .
sad isn't it?
but i can't cry .
i honestly can't .
i think i'd feel a tad better if i cried it all out .
but i can't .
i'm just sitting, missing him and hating him and yet not being bale to hate him at the same time .
hah .

i shall stop my rants here .im tired .

ohh .and i can't get a tan .
ahh .
Charis Vera `livedd @ 12:28:00 am

im trying to figure out the purpose of blogging .
i mean,
why the hell would i want to tell the world of strangers what i did and ate today?
mann,
like "i woke up,peed and spent the day slacking ."
so i have decided .
that this blog,my blog,
is for me to air my views on whatever it is i feel like airing my views about .

this is also a place for me to whine and complain to unknowns who don't know me about the complications and weird and wonderful thoughts and things that i, as a fourteen year old go through .
did i just type out my age, my real age for the world to see?
haha .

sometimes you reach breaking point and you wanna collapse and cry .
then some smart alec comes round and tells you laughter is the best medicine .
it is,
if you forget everything at the same time .
it's nice to go numb .
it's nice to forget .
it sucks to be left feeling worse than before .
so my suggestion?
if you're feeling soddy and screwed up,
cry .
cry .
and cry somemore .
you don't even need to know why you're crying, just cry .
then pray .
then laugh .
and don't stop til you black out .
then wake up and repeat .

i've been feeling crummy lately .and i don't know why .
tsk .
i suddenly realized i miss my mummy's ex-husband .
who, by the way, is my father .
much as i would, many times, hate to admit .
yes .
i do miss him .
but he's got another life now,
seperate from ours ..
and we're marks on the pages of past chapters in his life that he can't get rid off sadly .
i don't mind him not calling us .
honest .
i mind myself missing him that's all .

-mah own world .
guess you came too late .

Charis Vera `livedd @ 9:49:00 pm

it all turned out to be pretty stupid .

my fault .
i mean ...
i started everything .
maybe she wouldnt have if,
i don't know .
geez .

school wasn't too bad today .
im not going for the Life Science Course anymore .
i wanted to real badly in the beginning .
but ,
not anymore .
Ms Sem's expression tore me apart .

chem and bio test coming up =]
and my sister just asked me a bunch of bio questions which i don't know how to answer!
oh frig .

oh yes,
i've been feeling real slow and lethargic recently .
i have no idea why .
i don't have any energy in me,
no reason to come to school .
i'm wondering why half the time .
had three free periods today,one after the other .
slept away my precious one hour and forty-five minutes .
woke up all woozy and wanting to go back to sleep .
it's times like these when i just wanna stop coming to school .
i hope it's just a phase,
a phase that'll end soon because i cannot carry on like this .
i can't carry on sitting feeling all uncomfortable in a classroom and letting the day fly by learning and absorbing nothing .

-world of my own
closing my eyes
simply losing myself in darkness
lately i've been so slow and lethargic
overwhelmed by nothing,
yet fatigue takes its toll on me .

i want to scream
i want to cry
i want to curl up in a corner
and die

i want to but i cannot .
i want to sit
and do nothing
perhaps it's simply a phase i am going through
if it is,
i wish it end quickly .
before my life wastes away
with only horrid grades to pay .

Charis Vera `livedd @ 7:19:00 pm

i'm not in school again .
don't ask why .
i can't even see past the blurr in front of me .

sometimes,
sometimes i wish i could be there for the people who need me .
i can't though,
not always .
and i mean,
im not much help anyways .
people usually see me as some depressed piece of shit cutting myself .
im not all that .
you just don't know .
you just don't see .

sometimes i wanna be there for you .
but i can't .
not because im not there,
not because i don't want to .
but because you won't let me .
more like,
you've locked everyone out of your life,
out of your heart,
including me .
it hurt .
watching you cry .
and you telling me through your tears that it's alright .

this is kinda dumb .
it started off as a post about someone
and ended up about someone else .
but it applies to both people i guess .
to one,
i've never been that close to begin with,
and to another .
to another,
i really don't know .

janice,
i'm here for you .
and i need you to know that .
and i need you to tell me what's wrong cos i'd like to beat up the person who made you cry .


back to what i was thinking,
wait .
what was i thinking?
haha .
do i actually think or does all the stuff in my head come out as word vomit?

went out with joyce yesterday=]
been ages hasn't it babe?
talked about lotsa stuff .
walked around,
hung out and went home .
i miss doing that with friends actually,
though right now im actually really tired and just got woken up from my beauty sleep in mummy's office .
tsk .
the load of work i'll have to catch up on .
literature and chemistry,bio test this week =]
my favourite subjects .
strangely,
im gonna love studying for these tests .
honest=]
wheee .

been missing out lotsa history lessons though .
think i'll go ask ms hazeline to tutor me or something .
not that i don't know how to do my work .
the problem is ..
finding out what work to do .
haha .
im off .

will be going to changi airport to study later .
hope i can last .
im tired as i type this .
i shall go to sleep by ten tonight!
went jogging last night .
lalalala .

-world of my own .
you know i'll always be there for you .
if only you knew how much i loved you .
if only
i could be there to hold you tight
and kiss away your tears whenever you need me to .
if only .

Charis Vera `livedd @ 2:47:00 pm

butterfly kisses-
I hope you never fear the
mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path
of least resistance.

but its worth making.
When you get a chance to
sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance

Promise me you'll give faith
a fighting chance.
Give the heavens above more
than just a passing glance.

Realised i like you
for who you are,
I can't tell you its
a facade:
Don't let your hell bent heart
leave you bitter, When you come close
to selling out,
please reconsider.

I hope you dance
