"She is... I'm not"
by: Erica/Erix
Inspiration: An Interview with the girl in the mirror
Date: December 6, 2013

She is the girl who has his attention... I'm not.
She is the girl who can touch his arms... I'm not.
She is the girl who holds his hand... I'm not.
She is the girl who sees him every second... I'm not.

She is the girl who is nearer... I'm not.
She is the girl who is a beauty... I'm not.
She is the girl who possesses intelligence... I'm not.
She is the girl who can make him laugh... I'm not.

She is the girl who is with him... I'm not.
She is the girl who can have and might have his heart... I'm not.
She is the girl who is everything... I'm not.

"One sided love"
by: Erica/Erix
First Draft
Chords used: Am-Em-D-Em

This one sided love
is tearing me apart
and I can't get up
tonight

This one sided love
is hard to explain
but my heart can't deny
that I fall for you, not a shame

This one sided love
is breaking my heart
because I know that you
can never love me back

This one sided love
is making me insane
my life will not be the same....

I had a very tiring week. I wrote a script for a video shoot, edited it, practiced my voice over part on the video, shoot the video for almost 10 hours, studied, worked... what more could I ask for?

I never thought that creating and recording a 5-7 minutes video would be a very long process. We (Ina and I) squeezed our brains for idea. I'm so thankful because there were a lot of people who helped me especially my one man army Ms. Ina and my friends who gave me self confidence... not for them... I would not really join this competition... 

Honestly speaking, I don't care much about the prize. Whoever wins, I will support them. I joined because of the people who believes in my capabilities and talent... they'd told me that this competition would be great chance and experience for me to expose myself and to increase my self-esteem.

I am an EXTREMELY shy person... and being on the video... on my OWN video... I never really imagined it. As for the voice over part, I needed to do it many times because I couldn't stop myself from crying. The script that I wrote is all about my personal experiences and sharing it on public brought back my memories when I was discriminated over and over again... 

Anyway, I hope the edited video will be presentable... Maybe next week... I will share it in here. Have a Happy Sunday everyone!

Things that made me happy:
- My one arm army... Ms. Ina
- Playing guitar and singing "Keep holding on" and "My guardian angel"
- My friends including Him
- That I am still alive
