Dad Interacting On Halloween?!

2009-10-31T12:10:00.000-07:00

Wow! Hey! :) Sorry for the short, short post yesterday! I think I just had a moment! Anyways... *coughs* moving on ... My dad, is actually interacting on Halloween! Thats something he never does! It's so weird, and different to see him smile, and give kids sweets! xD I think its so sweet :)
Man! I've lost my voice... nearly all the way :( it sucks. I was gonna sing today, but I can't. :( It's late anyway.. so I couldnt.
But I might try later :) So, I have decided to change my style a little. I'll still do the slow boring ones, but I'm upping my tempo a bit! I'm actually scared of what the reaction will be :| I hope it's good! And I know for a fact not everyone is gonna like it, and not everyone will get used to it quickly, but we might as well give it go, eh? :) I don't wanna give too much away, but it wont be all this remixed stuff, and editted. Just, what I liked before I started getting into singing! I think I didn't do them because I was a chicken! But, I'm gonna try! :) Whats the harm in that?! :) Also, I wanna be more open about my feelings in my songs :) I'm so exited! Lemme know your thoughts? If your reading :D
Anyways... HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HAVE A GOOD & SCARY ONE! :)
Advice: Don't watch - Drag Me To Hell on this scary cold night I can only imagine how much you wont sleep :P :)
Speak soon :)
Peace & Love
- Chelsie xx

Best Friends? Ha!

2009-10-30T04:40:00.000-07:00

Hey... How are you?!
I'm really upset today tbh :( I thought I knew who ALL my best friends were, obviously not. Don't you hate it when you find out who stabbed you in the back months ago? Thing is, my best BEST friend, knew all along, and has only just come clean. Thats bitchy to hell in my opinion. She knew all along. :/

Anyway... Lets be happy :) Its my birthday on the 4th Nov :) I can't wait cause I'm gettin the LG Cookie and having a sleepover! :) So, yeah :D Anyway... sorry for not updating.
Well I'll speak soon x

The Confessions!

2009-10-07T02:07:00.000-07:00

Hey! :) How are you?! Sorry, again! hehe! I've just been SO busy with school, yesterday, I had a GCSE for Humanities! I thought GCSE's were for YEAR 11. NOT 10... but hey, there we go - school gets worse and worse. I'm taking a day off school today as I was overly stressed, and an Abcess has burst in my ear - so it's extremely painful, but it means I can catch up on 3 pieces of homework! :) Art and 2 Sciences. I can't believe what Science are making us do. If I thought it would be ANYTHING like Business Studies then I wouldn't have taken it. We have to research Science Based organisations and ring them and ask stupid questions like:
"What is your purpose?" "What does your Manager do?" etc etc. How stupid?! Well... anyways! I'm in a band, and for now we're called The Confessions and if you wanna see our logo ;) It's below!

Hope you like it! :) Speak soon! x

Photoshoot Photos! (:

2009-09-20T01:58:00.000-07:00

Hey!! Sorry about rushing off yesterday!! Anyway, I've cropped the photos so they're smaller, but what do you think!? My Mum was the photographer, shes amazing with the camera! It was such an amazing day, really fun! I love the photos she took as well, so natural, and usually I don't like myself or my photos, but this time, I do. lol! :)

We took over 50 photos of me (I think), but I only have 19 favorites! There is actually a deep meaning of why we did this! ... You see, I have to put a portfolio together, just incase now something special happens! See, I could be getting promoted by Flaunt Promotions, but we're not sure yet!I

I just have to wait and see, right? :) Gosh, so exited for the future, for whatever it brings! :) Aww man! I have the sniffles! I was going to record a song for youtube today! Obviously I can't now! Ahh, I'll just have to do it when I'm better :( ... So, anyway! I hope you like the photos, and the blog ;) I'll write soon!Peace & Love! :)<3>

Recording! :)

2009-09-19T00:29:00.000-07:00

Heya!! How are you all?! Sorry for my lack of blogging - AGAIN. But, I've been extremely busy! I've been to the recording studio recently, with my "band" & it went really good! I'm really working hard on getting more known on youtube and on here! So, yeah! Just gotta find ways! :) Today, I'm going up the mountain, to record a practise/mini music video, come home & edit it! ... I might make a new youtube channel for things like that, and for video blogging!
Well, only a short blog today cause I gotta get ready... but I don't even think we'll be going somehow :/
Byee <3

Woah, so sorry!

2009-08-20T11:12:00.000-07:00

Hey! I'm so so sorry for not updating! I forgot my email AND password to log in! ha. So; how have your days been? I never really get anyone reading my blogs anymore, watching my youtube or anything :(
If you know anyway to get my name out - PLEASE email me: chelsiesmallmanofficial@gmail.com I would appreciate it so much! I'm really hoping to get somewhere very soon with my music; I just recieved a NOCN certificate today with FOUR credits!! :D Basically, with that - I have more of a chance of getting into music colleges! :) Thing is, I haven't really done videos because I have a lot of neighbourhood problems - BUMMER. People on twitter, just don't listen :P and well - no one really knows about this blog.
Anyway - moving on from that depressing part ;) Neha asked some questions :) so, here they are with the answers:

Q. What made u sing?
A. Well, I'm not sure really, but I remember singing to my grandad, and making him cry (I was about four) and he thought it was so sweet. So; ever since I found my little voice - I haven't stopped. :)

Q. Is there a passion?
A. Yes!! I LOVE to sing, I always have; I enjoy it very much - and I sing wherever I am, yesterday I was walking home alone and I was singing to myself ;) :P

Q. Did u just find it?
A. Yeah :) Must've been, when my mum was pregnant with me - all my mum did was play music - especially in the night, to make me stop kicking her and go to sleep :) (sometimes)

Q. Was it in you?
A. Yeah :) I've always loved music, and I always will! I've had my doubts sometimes, that I should give up - but I never did.

Q. How did you develope it?
A. Just kept on practising, over and over, singing in the shower and just singing along in the car, or while I'm on the computer also counts as practise :) I LOVE to sing EVERYWHERE. Although, I'm still shy, hehe. :)

Q. How does it feel to live in wales?
A. Well, I'm ALWAYS truthful - but I'm gonna be especially truthful here, I don't like it that much, but then I adore the beaches and the mountains, but I suppose I appreciate it, a lot here. :) So, I can't decide.

Q. Oh and do you like microwave popcorn?
A. Haha! This is my favorite question! I LOVE it, but when we make it, the smell is awful! haha! My favorite is Salted popcorn! :) I have my own popcorn maker, where I put in popcorn kernels :) but because its plain popcorn, [no salt, butter or anything] I put melted chocolate on them! :) Even my dad likes it :)

Thank you, Neha for providing me with these questions :) I hope they let you get to know me more! :)
I hope you like the blog :) I'll blog soon :) Bye Byee :) xx

Fun Yesterday! :)

2009-07-29T04:04:00.000-07:00

Hey! OMGOSH. It was so fun yesterday; it was raining, but still - it was immense. I saved a duck!! :) Some stupid fisherman (*coughs* my friend) cast out while a duck came towards him. I screamed and said "NO" but.. he didnt listen and pulled the duck in pretty fast. So, then we got the duck; and it was BADLY tangled, hook was in it's mouth; line round its neck, wrapped 10 times around its wing; with the float attatched and twice round it's foot. Gah! So, Me and Jonathon ran half way round the lake (which is massive) got a pair of line scissors, ran back and I had to get the duck calm, then cut the line properly. It was so hard cause the duck was so nervous - but I smoothed it and spoke to it - made me look nuts. But, we managed to untangle it; but it wouldn't open its mouth so I could get the hook out - so it's still there, we've warned the people that work there - and they've said its fine - it'll rust away.
Anyway; I have to go to town; so I'll see ya x

So drained.

2009-07-28T02:04:00.000-07:00

Hi! I have to be out of the house early today - so I thought I should just spend my time blogging before I go get ready and head out of the house. I have some problems today that have to be dealt with. I really wanna say them; but they're not really my problems, they're my friends problems; but I have to be there to give them support and help them decide whats right.
So; yeah :/ Pretty much feeling stressed today.
I'm thinking about making a Plog instead. (paper blog) Meaning I'll write my blog on paper. Wouldn't that be much more personal? Or, could be dangerous - some of you may not understand my writing. =P Hardly anyone reads this anyway; probably just me, Neha and random people on the internet who've never even heard of me.
Well..
I think, because its the morning; I don't really have much to say - so when I come back I'll probably edit this, and tell you how it went! :)
Speak Soon,
Chow

Suns come out! :)

2009-07-27T08:05:00.000-07:00

Yay! The sun is finally out! At the moment I'm deciding whether I should do an audition on the 6th August... I mean; it's pretty hard considering I don't think my ears will have opened by then :/ If I do do it, I'm not even sure which song. I'll probably do my own song; whilst playing my simple guitar or a Taylor Swift. I'm so into country right now; especially Shania Twain - she's always been my favorite country singer, and still is.
I wonder if I should write a new song, I mean, I have a lot of inspiration right now; but, its picking what my favorite subject is to write about.
Gahh!! So; I'm actually thinking about copyrighting one of my songs today and then posting it on youtube!
If anyone wants to see any of my videos go to www.youtube.com/user/ChelsiePaigeMusic - I post most of my songs there, but I need to start posting more and more! :D Today I also feel like thanking Neha for all the support she has offered me, and how she's made me feel like I can do what I want with my singing career. She's such an amazing person, and I hope to go to Thailand soon and see her! :) She's also introduced me to her sister; Karina. They are both absolutely beautiful people!
So, has everyone been enjoying their day/night? I know I have, I had a lovely walk with my mother today; and I've seen my beautiful dog and cat, and written some ideas for a new song! I can not wait for Jay to see the new lyrics, and hopefully she'll help me get some better music to it, and I can play it then at the audition! Right now, my song "heaven knows" only has basic guitar chords and strumming, but I wonder if Jay will teach me some new teqhniques?
Ah, well I see her on Wednesday anyway for another singing / writing / musical session! Perhaps I could suggest to her another concert, or something. That'd be pretty awesome; what do you guys think?
Right; well... I have to shoot off ;)
See ya x

2009-07-26T12:08:00.000-07:00

Hey! =) I got really bored so I've decided to write a blog. Just about how I'm feeling, what I'm up to and just some random things.
Well.. just to let you know my throat is alot better, my ears dont hurt as much and I feel more alive; probably all because I've spoken to my lovely boyfriend. How have you all been? Great? I hope so!
How about this weather? Over here in Britain it sucks. It's so rainy, and its keeping me down and stopping me from seeing the ones I love most.
Today I've written two songs, one was actually inspired by the sky last night and was written in memory of my grandad, and the other was just me letting out my anger about how I feel used by most people. The one thats dedicated to my grampy took about an hour to write, and it really hurt to write it, because of memories flooding back. The other song? well... came to my head pretty quickly - and its not one I should put the lyrics on the internet/perform OR record.
No bad things; just... truth, and people don't like the truth these days.
Um, so... I've been working hard whilst the weathers been playing up and while I've been ill -
I re-opened ElectricElite.webs.com - you might as well take a look, but I have to change the "coming soon" page so you can see the home page! =)
Anyway... I have to shoot, see ya x

First Blog!

2009-07-25T11:29:00.000-07:00

Hey! Well... this is my first blog, so I should really make it read-worthy. Umm.. where to start? :/
Oh! Possibly, it's better if you come here rather than twitter, because on Twitter I can only use 140 characters, yet on here I can use as many as I like! So, you'll get MORE information here; but I'll still be using twitter for real quick updates, and I will only probably update here once or twice possibly three times a week, which means each blog will be pretty long - if you all don't mind?
Well... I guess I should start writing about my week? (well, starting from Wednesday)..
On Wednesday I went to a Community Farm, I had to sing, and I really enjoyed it, I tell you what - you wouldn't have been able to get me off the "stage" haha :P
I also learned that I have some German fans, and even the older audience enjoyed my performance. So, I guess its a start! :) But then, my fantastic luck kicks in the next day (Thursday) and I come home with a massive cold. More like the 24 hour flu. Banging headache, ear ache, sore throat, etc. But, I was all cleared by Friday morning which meant I could go to a youth centre and write a song about Drugs/Alcohol and Crime - it was really cool :) We have to go there for 6 weeks, then a recording studio THEN a live performance in the Town Square! Its gonna be amazing and I seriously can not wait!
My other recording from the first rock school I attended will be coming soon, and I'll ask Jay if I can put it on youtube and then you'll all get to see it!! :)
Anyway... I've written quite a lot so far... so I'll leave you to it :) I hope I didn't bore you to death while you were reading this, but hey... I gotta start somewhere! :P
Bye x
