10 years.
Sunday, January 23, 2011
I wake up on the left side of bed and he's there right beside me, still asleep. I look at his peaceful face, giving him a soft kiss on his forehead. Clad in his big oversized long sleeve white t-shirt, I slipped out of bed quietly, not wanting to wake him up. I walk to the kitchen, starting preparing his breakfast, I felt a pair of warm arms wrapping against my waist and a head resting on my neck. "Good morning." he says sleepily. "Good morning." I say with a slight chuckle and a smile across my face.

Sorry.
Sunday, January 16, 2011
A little more than a week we've been together. There are still doubts lingering within that i wish to erase. However, because i know a bit of your past, it isn't easy. Still, a small argument is healthy in a relationship, and if we can overcome that, we've become stronger. Those little couples that break up just because of one small argument, i don't want that. Neither do you. The first serious relationship i have, i wish it would last. It pains me to know that i can't fully say -oh he loves only me- but one day i will. You know my past. You know why there are still doubts. However, i can only say this. I love you very very very much.
I'm so sorry. Labels: according-to-me

A feeling.
Sunday, January 9, 2011
Since when did life feel this good? That i want time to just stop right there at that moment. Never wanting to return anywhere else but just stay there. The warm feeling when your arms are around my waist, shoulder and fingers attached to mine. Where i can hear and feel your breath ghosting over me. Your eyes looking into mine, making me feel weaker and weaker every second. Your fingers grazing upon my fringe, my cheeks and whatnot. And when i stare up and look at you, you just look at me with loving tender eyes that i so want to return. Lastly, your lips upon mine that feels so ever wonderfully soft. And when we close with a small 'see you next time', i just wonder... when exactly is next time? hoping it'll come soon... (so very soon) Labels: according-to-me

Conscious.
Tuesday, December 21, 2010
I never said anything about my real emotions on who i really am, or who i really want to be. It's strange, but i don't trust people that easily. Sure, i become friendly with them, but i don't tell them anything beyond that. I get intimidated easily. I don't like hanging out with overly smart people, instead, i feel more comfortable with those around my grades. I won't lie. I'm not a straight A student. I'm only a straight B student, but i'm comfortable with that. Because that's who i am. I'm good in studies, but i don't do well in exams. It's the way my life has become. It might be my nerves, but it's always been like this all this while. I'm also overly playful, i don't blame my age. I love joking around and that shows that i'm close to that person. However, i'm also conscious about the fact that people might find me annoying and if i do joke around too much, they get angry at me. I then feel guilty and immediately stop joking with that person, as if blocking a part of me that is trying to escape.
According to a few people, i'm an independent person. Truth is, i'm not. They don't know how much dependent i am on 2 or 3 close friends. Because without them, right now, i'd probably be living a soulless life. Once in a while, i break down crying. The emotions become so overwhelming that i don't stop myself from crying. People ask if i'm alright, i say 'i'm fine.' But i only say that when i'm not. In truth, i worry a lot so much that my emotions take over. I won't lie, i cry easily. I cry while watching dramas, i cry while reading books, i cried in class once (no teacher - just my close friends and i). I'm a weak person, but i want people to know that i'm strong and independent. I don't yell at people unless they get me really angry at them. If i get into quarrels, i don't go against the other. I just sit there quietly not doing anything. That is where people start taking advantage of me. I've been used as a 2nd friend many times before. And because i have no one else to go to, i follow them (stupidly). I want to be braver and stronger - but i can't. But what i'm going to say isn't about that. I'm very conscious about how people think of me, so lying has become one of the normals of what i do. If somebody said he/she got an A in that certain subject, i'd upgrade myself saying i got an A too, but did i actually? I'm scared people will think i'm stupid and laugh at me. People say i'm good in studies, i'm not. I'm only an average student. People say i play the piano really good. I don't. I'm only an average player who can play at my own pace. They say i'm good in drawing, but i'm not. Compared to others out there, i'm only an amateur. There is, however, one more thing that people say about me. They say i'm pretty, thin and i should be a model. That's what this post is going to be about.
Once people say i'm pretty, i automatically smile. But i say "i'm not" because i'm scared that people will think i'm vain. I'm not vain. It's only what i think, because it's not true. I love taking pictures of myself (call it camwhoring if you will) and i photoshop out my imperfections and post it online. People say i look pretty and i smile. But it's fake. More over, the amount of pictures i have deleted is three times the amount i have kept.
When people say i should be a model, i secretly become happy. I want to be a model, which is why i take pictures of myself. I'm interested in fashion and i love dressing up in my kind of styles. However, i don't wear them out because i'm afraid i will be the odd one out. Instead, i go out in a blouse and jeans (sometimes shorts) with sport shoes. I don't want to look different in that crowd. I want to fit in. At home, without any of my family member's knowledge, i dress up in my own style and take pictures. Because i can never wear it out and pictures are there for a reason.
I won't say i'm fat. I know i'm thin. I genuinely have a good body size that i'm happy with (height, etc.) but i'm not healthy. I don't exercise. I'm a small eater, i know that, but that's the way my body is. I'm weak, and i don't like myself that way. However, i don't change. People say comments like "you're so thin and tall! you should be a model!" I don't disagree with them, but i know i'm not exactly model material. My body may be good, but my face doesn't scream out model material. If i tell anyone this, i know they'll think i'm vain.
Another thing that i don't really like is when people take pictures of me. I like it if i come out good, but the awkward atmosphere there is tenses me up and i shy away from the camera. I do want people to take pictures of me, but i think to myself 'what if people think i'm vain? what if i don't turn out good?' I don't like this side of me one bit and it may become annoying to friends. It makes me feel apologetic and regretful, but i can't change.
Maybe someday... my dreams will be fulfilled. Or not.
Not many people read my blog and the only ones who read are close friends of mine. I feel regretful for not trusting them in this.
So that's who i am.
*no photoshop (just good lighting) -white long sleeve collar blouse from mum -vest from brother
It doesn't matter if the clothes were meant for guys or not. As long as i'm interested in the style, i'm keen on making it seem as if it were for a girl.
For now, i'm only stuck on taking pictures of myself on my balcony. I hope someday that i can actually get a real photoshoot.

Heart VS Mind.
Saturday, December 18, 2010
My mind says to stop because i'll end up only getting hurt again... but my heart says to continue because i will never know. Which should i listen to?
Upside: Mind - If i follow my mind, i wouldn't hurt. I'd save myself the trouble of feeling down every single day. Heart - If i follow my heart, there is a huge chance what i wish for will come true.
Downside: Mind - I wouldn't know the truth behind things. Heart - If it turns out the other way, i'd end up feeling more pain than needed.
So what do i do? Confused yet again.

Transparent.
I'm very transparent. I know that. And i'm afraid people will find out who i really am, what i really feel and if i'm keeping anything from them. It's scary to the extent that secrets i want to keep become exposed. Even to the extent that they know me better than i myself do. But maybe, just maybe, because they know me better than i do, i seldom get confused. I know who to look for for troubles. My transparent self; comes in good and bad. And my life would not be how it is if i weren't transparent.

Sorry.
Friday, December 17, 2010
The word that slowly lost it touch over the generations that have passed. "Sorry" seems to have slipped out of my mouth more than 10 times a day, and somehow it irritates me, because the word sorry was meant for forgiveness, usually one that is serious. The fact that it had become like any other normal words i have used... where is it's true meaning? 'Sorry seems to be the hardest word'; no such thing anymore. However, it still irritates me that people don't reply back when i apologize to them. More even so, if the latter does say it as frequently as i did (or do), guilt grows deep within me. And i start feeling regretful of treating them in that way. I can't use the word sorry anymore, i just can't. It's something that has grown within me. You never apologize for something that light, only when you've caused a huge sin. That's when sorry should rightfully be used.Labels: according-to-me

Afraid.
It starts off with a small feeling of loneliness. You need someone to rant to. But you look around, no one's around you, no one can hear you, and you start going crazy. Every night, as soon as the clock strikes 11.59pm, you curl up in a ball, reflecting on your day. And as soon as 12.01am comes, you're alright. But that's what you think.
You start socializing, and you find more and more people liking you. You now have someone to talk to, but you feel like they won't stay forever. However, you pick out great ones, which are probably just 2, or maybe 3. You start telling them things, but 30 seconds after you start regretting it. Why did you tell them? Why did you get so close to them? And you start building a wall between yourself and that person. It's not thick, but it's still there. The both of you are still very close, but there's something stopping you from plunging any further.
You're afraid. You don't want people thinking what you actually are. You want to pretend you're another person, and the lies come out. You tell yourself just one little lie. One more wouldn't hurt. And you're caught doing it more and more, over and over. Until the latter doesn't know the actual you. But you're both still close. The wall is still there.
You stop, and you look up at the clock. 5 seconds 'till 11.59pm. 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... and you're curled up in a ball again, crying. But this time, there is someone to comfort you. And you feel even more regretful. Your tears flow more. But you know you can't break down this wall, it will be there wherever you go. And you slowly learn to live with it. Labels: according-to-me

Excitement.
It starts with a new feeling of excitement. You have a smile on your face every time you see him. You put on your best clothes and hair for the day when meeting him. The both of you start getting closer and closer. Then your world comes crashing down when you find out he's interested in someone else. And you find out that both of you are not so close after all. You can only stand there and encourage him. Right next to him, you sigh and watch him look at the latter. You talk to him the next day and he says he's more focused on studies. You smile and nod. And the both of you become the best of friends. What comes next, is something worth waiting for. The thrill and excitement... the mere future.
Ah yes, the excitement of love. Labels: according-to-me

Useless week?
Sunday, October 17, 2010
In the past 4 days, i've injured the whole of my left side, but my right side seems to be fine.
My left ankle hurts slightly when i walk (apparently it became a bit swollen) My left knee hurts and there's a bruise on it. I injured my 2 fingers on my left hand (couldn't go for piano class) My left part of my lips got a bit swollen.
So then, FML anyone? Labels: according-to-me

Stressed.
Tuesday, September 7, 2010
Whoever said that college was the best time of your life? Sure, the people you meet are fun, and it's nice being around them and enjoying things together, but most people forget that you have to either study your hearts out or do loads of assignment. I, for one, am going through his phase where i am seriously stressed to the max. Knowing that i wouldn't do well on one test doesn't really motivate me either.
Anyways, to the people who are already on their raya break, congratulations. To the CPU and ADP students, sucks to be us... just joking :) 1 more day and we'll have our break too. Good luck to do the people who has Advanced Functions test tomorrow!
Chrystelle out! :) Labels: according-to-me, college

Apologies.
Sunday, August 29, 2010
I know that i might've been a b*tch since i've been neglecting one person. It's something new i've learnt where i can't control 2 different lives all together, the only words that can come out is i'm sorry, and with that, with hopes that that person might forgive me, i'll start smiling with no guilty feeling in me. Thinking about it for the past week, i've noticed that i'm not such a good person. Only looking forward, but never behind, isn't such a good thing either. So will you forgive me? This line that lingers in my heart, wishing it to be answered.
I noticed that because of my fright, i have blocked you from my world, and so if you forgive me, i am willing to welcome you back to my world.
I take it all back. Clearly my apology wasn't enough, so why bother trying again? It's not worth my time. I'm just going to move on just like the world does. Labels: according-to-me

Yes, she's pretty. Yes, she's a goddess. Yes, she's just like a model. But don't freakin' compare her!!!!
You say what you mean on the outside. Without even caring how the person feels inside. You think you're so arrogant. But have you ever thought of the person you're hurting?
I can't do anything to you. But only say one thing: Karma will get you. Labels: according-to-me
