Musikalische Erlebnisse

Ich reise mal wieder durch Europa, um von der Musikwelt etwas mitzunehmen.

Kommenden Freitag geht es auf nach Bremen zu The Dome, wo u.a. einer meiner schwedischen Lieblinge auftreten wird. Freue mich schon wie Bolle darauf. Ein ganz großer Dank geht hierbei an Lorena, die die Tickets gewonnen hat und mich mitnehmen wird!

Im Mai ist eine ganze Woche der Musik gewidmet. Am 13.05. geht es auf nach Schweden zum Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö. Direkt am ersten Tag geht es los mit dem 1. Jury-Semifinal, ergänzt durch das 2. Juri-Semifinal am Mittwoch und dem Jury-Final am Freitag. Die Liveshows werden wir uns über Leinwand oder Tv anschauen. Und die freien Tage werden wir sicherlich vor der Arena verbringen und Stars abfangen :-)

Ich kann jetzt schon sagen, dass es eine sehr tolle und ereignisreiche Woche werden wird, die ich zusammen mit Jenny und Mel verbringen werde.

Berlin! Berlin!

...wir fahren nach Berlin! Und ich freu mich riesig darauf!

Es geht nicht einfach nur nach Berlin, was eigentlich auch schon ein riesen Highlight wäre! Nein, es geht zusätzlich auch noch ins Olympiastadion zum WM-Quali Spiel Deutschland - Schweden! Und dazu fällt mir nur eines ein: ZLAAAATAAAAN!!! :)


Jaja...jetzt heißt es wieder: "Leg mal was Nationalstolz an den Tag!" Aber wenn es um Schweden geht, dann gibt es bei mir kein Halten und wie ihr wisst, ist Schweden sowas wie meine zweite Heimat. Meine beste Freundin hat mir auch schon Prügel angedroht, wenn ich im Stadion mein Schweden-Trikot überstreife. Aber das ist mir egal :) Wünsche mir als Endergebnis ein Unentschieden. Insgeheim aber einen Sieg für Schweden ;)

Egal, wie das Spiel im Endeffekt werden wird: Es werden mit Sicherheit 2 tolle Tage in Berlin. Obwohl meine halbe Family von dort kommt, war ich selber noch nie dort. Nun wird es also langsam mal Zeit.

Aber bis es soweit ist, muss ich noch eine Woche arbeiten. Die bekomm ich aber auch noch rum ;)

Song der Woche

Es ist mal wieder Zeit für meinen Song der Woche.

Ich habe euch den folgenden Song bereits schon einmal vorgestellt, aber da ich diesen Song diese Woche echt rauf und runter gehört habe, muss er auch einfach die Auszeichnung zum Song der Woche erhalten.

Für mich ist er mit der beste Song des Jahres 2012.


In Schweden ist "'I'm in Love" bereits am 7. Mai 2012 erschienen und landete innerhalb von 5 Stunden auf Platz 1 der iTunes-Charts. Nun wird er auch in Deutschland veröffentlicht. Am 19.10.2012 ist Release. Videopremiere in Deutschland war bereits am 21.09.2012 und innerhalb einer Woche wurde das Video bereits schon 65.000 Mal angeschaut. Ein recht gutes Ergebnis, wenn man bedenkt, dass Ola in Deutschland noch recht unbekannt ist.

Jedenfalls ist "I'm in Love" ein echter Ohrwurm und ich denke, dass er sich auch gut in den deutschen Charts etablieren kann. Der Song wurde von Ola an der Seite von z.B. Shellback geschrieben, der u.a. schon Songs für Pink und Usher schrieb.

Wie findet ihr denn Ola's Song "I'm in Love"? Eure Meinungen sind nun gefragt!

So wach war ich noch nie!

Heute ist Tag des Kaffees. Ein Tag, der vom Deutschen Kaffeeverband vor 6 Jahren ins Leben gerufen wurde. Ein Grund für mich, den Kaffeekonsum mal etwas genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen und einen kleinen Kaffeetest zu starten.

Bildquelle: Lupo  / pixelio.de

Der Kaffee ist des deutschen liebstes Getränk. Rund 85% aller deutschen Erwachsenen trinken regelmäßig eine Tasse oder mehrere Tassen Kaffee. In einer Studie von 2008 kam Deutschland auf einen Kaffeeverbrauch von über 530.000 Tonnen Kaffee, was pro Kopf etwa 6,4 Kilo Kaffee/Jahr ausmacht. Durchschnittlich trinkt man also 2,5 Tassen Kasse am Tag, wenn man etwa 7g Kaffeepulver für 1 Tasse verwendet.

Mit diesem Verbrauch liegt Deutschland im internationalen Kaffeeranking abgeschlagen auf dem 11. Platz. Spitzenreiter ist Finnland mit ca. 12 kg/Kopf/Jahr, gefolgt von Norwegen (9,9 kg/Kopf/Jahr) und Island (9kg/Kopf/Jahr).

Nun aber genug mit Zahlen, Daten, Fakten. Kommen wir nun zu meinem kleinen Kaffeetest.

Ich habe mehrere Kaffeesorten heute getestet. Jedes Mal eine Tasse Kaffee mit Milch und Zucker. Um das Ergebnis nicht zu verfälschen, habe jedes Mal meine eigene Kaffeemilch verwendet, da es dort ja schon gewaltige Unterschiede gibt.

Es gibt nichts besseres, als den Tag mit einer guten Tasse Kaffee zu starten. Ok, ne Dusche vorher ist eigentlich besser ;)

06:30 Uhr: Die erste Tasse Kaffee stammte aus dem Hause Lavazza. Für mich eine der besten Kaffeesorten, die es gibt. Dank Kapseln auch einfach zu dosieren. Schmeckte sehr gut. Nicht zu stark, nicht zu laff. Gerade richtig.

07:30 Uhr: Machte mich dann auf den Weg zur Arbeit. Diesmal ein frischgebrühter Coffee-to-go aus meiner Stammbäckerei. Zur Kaffeesorte kann ich leider nichts sagen. Traf aber meinen Geschmack, allerdings nicht so überzeugen, wie der erste Kaffee.

08:30 Uhr: Zwischenhalt in am Umsteigebahnhof. Zeit genug, noch einen Kaffee zu holen. Mein Koffeinlieferant diesmal: eine kleine Kaffeekette. Mir reichte ein einziger Schluck, um mir ein Urteil davon zu bilden. Einfach nur widerlich! Dieser Kaffee hatte so einen ekligen Beigeschmack. Wer weiß, wann die Maschine das letzte mal gereinigt wurde. Habe ihn trotzdem widerwillig ausgetrunken.

10:00 Uhr: Gut, dann holen wir uns mal nen Pott Kaffee aus der Teeküche. Man, ist der stark! Entweder hat die Person, die den Kaffee zubereitet hat, unter einer Wahrnehmungsstörung des Schmeckens, oder er/sie hat einfach keine Ahnung, wie man den Kaffee mit der 2-Liter-Maschine richtig zubereitet.

11:00 Uhr: Auf ein neues! Habe den Kaffee jetzt mal selber aufgesetzt. Deutlich besser! Aber trotzdem nicht so schmackhaft, wie die ersten beiden Tassen des Tages

14:00 Uhr: Endlich zu Hause! Und zur Feier des Tages direkt noch ein Tässchen Kaffee :) Letzter Testkandidat: Ein Vollautomat von Saeco. Kaffeesorte: leider unbekannt, da die Verpackung bereits entsorgt wurde. Drücke aufs Knöpfchen und schon füllt sich die Tasse mit cremigen Kaffee. Es liegt ein sehr angenehmer Duft in der Luft. Herrlich! Und auch geschmacklich eine echte Bombe! Für mich der Gewinner des Tages!

Endergebnis:

Platz 1: Vollautomat
Platz 2: Kapselautomat
Platz 3: Bäcker des Vertrauens
Platz 4: Versuch 2 im Büro
Platz 5: Versuch 1 im Büro
Platz 6: Kaffeeketten-Plörre

Positiver Effekt:

- habe den Durchschnittsverbrauch kurzfristig erhöht
- bin überhaupt nicht mehr müde; perfekt, um die Nächte durchzufeiern

Negativer Effekt:

- mir war zwischenzeitlich speiübel
- leichtes Herzrasen, aufgrund des Koffeinshocks
- ich renne seitdem ständig wohin

Memo an mich selbst:

Mache diesen Test nie wieder! ;)

Übrigens:

Heute ist auch Tag des deutschen Butterbrotes. Einem Test wollte ich mich aber zu diesem Thema nicht unterziehen ;)

Tag des Kaffees

Ein Tag wie jeder andere?

Bei nassem Regenwetter machte ich mich heute auf den Weg zur Arbeit. Bus hatte wie immer Verspätung; an der Baustelle stand man wieder Stunden, um dort durchzukommen. An meinem Umsteigepunkt holte ich mir einen Cappuccino und stieg in die U-Bahn. Nach gut 1 1/2 Stunden Fahrzeit kam ich dann auch endlich auf der Arbeit an. Bis zum Besteigen des Fahrstuhls ein ganz normaler Tag wie jeder andere auch, wenn man das Wetter außenvor lässt ;).

Doch dann blitzte mir dieses Plakat in die Augen:

 
Von diesem Moment an war mir klar: dieser Tag wird anders, als die anderen.

Schon auf dem Büroflur merkte ich die ersten Veränderungen: Die Kollegen liefen durch den Flur, als wenn sie plötzlich kein Büro mehr hätten. Und auch diese Freundlichkeit am frühen Morgen war mir nicht ganz geheuer. Die gab es sonst nie.

Starte meinen Rechner. Schon wieder eine Veränderung: Statt meines Lieblingsbildes auf dem Desktop lächelt mir jetzt eine Dame entgegen, die eine Karte mit einer der Leitlinien in der Hand hält. Was soll das? Ich will mein Lieblingsbild wieder haben! Fühle mich von dieser Dame beobachtet. So kann ich nicht arbeiten!

Öffne mein Outlook. Gähnende Leere im Postkasten. Und das, obwohl wir kurz vorm Buchungsschluss stehen. Anscheinend haben die Kollegen vor Schreck ihre PCs heruntergefahren und sind gegangen. Denn am Telefon bekommt man auch keinen dran. Na gut. Dann muss ich wohl mal schauen, woher ich meine Arbeit bekomme.

Wir schreiben 11:30 Uhr. Mein Kollege traut sich dann auch mal im Büro zu erscheinen. Nicht, dass er sowieso immer erst später als der Rest der Firma kommt, aber Mittagszeit ist dann doch schon ziemlich übertrieben.

Oh! Eine Mail! Na super! Betreff: Nehmen Sie teil am Leitlinien-Quiz. Ok, dann werden wir das mal machen. Die Leitlinien sind mir ja ein Begriff. Schließlich wurden sie mir bereits in der Ausbildung eingeprügelt und ich lebe sie tagtäglich. Ergebnis: 100% richtig. Bin mal gespannt, wie die restliche Belegschaft abschneidet. Wenn ich mir deren Arbeit der letzten Monate so anschaue, sind die Leitlinien ihnen zwar ein Begriff, aber gelebt werden diese nicht immer. Dabei wurden sie doch extra entwickelt, um ein besseres Arbeitsklima zu schaffen und um den Kundenservice zu steigern.

Mittagspause! Endlich mal wieder etwas Normales an diesem Tag. Denkste! In der Zwischenzeit wurden überall bunte Luftballons mit den Leitlinien aufgehangen, ein Buffet mit allerlei Leckereien aufgebaut und fröhliche Musik tönt aus den Lautsprechern. Das ist too much für mich. Entscheide mich, für den Rest des Arbeitstages im Büro einzusperren.

Und nun sitze ich hier. Abgeschottet vom ganzen Geschehen und schreibe diesen Eintrag. Ich hoffe, dass dieser Tag bald vorbei geht.

Mein Fazit: Leitlinien an sich sind was gutes. Aber man muss sie jeden Tag leben und nicht an einem Tag im Jahr.

Gerechtigkeit siegt!

Gestern habe ich euch noch vom Fall der kleinen Haddile aus Schweden berichtet, die in ein Kinderheim nach Frankreich abgeschoben werden sollte.

Heute morgen erreicht mich die positive Nachricht, dass das Migrationsverket seine Entscheidung rückgängig gemacht hat. Der Druck der Bevölkerung war doch zu groß.

Haddile darf nun weiter in Schweden bei ihren Pflegeeltern leben und das große Glück verspüren!

Zwischen Euphorie und Abschiebung

Schweden - für viele ein Synonym für IKEA, ABBA und Elche. Mitte Mai auch sehr bekannt für den Sieg von Loreen im Eurovision Song Contest.

Loreen sang von Euphorie. In der Psychologie ein seelischer Zustand des Gefühls, Glück zu empfinden. Vielleicht brachte gerade dieses Gefühl Europa dazu, sie zum Sieger zu wählen.

"Fabrum esse suae quemque fortunae - Jeder ist seines Glückes Schmied!" hieß es in einem Gedicht von Appius Claudius Caesus, einem römischen Politiker und Staatsmann der römischen Republik um 300 v.Chr.

Jeder? Nein! Nicht im Falle der kleinen Haddile!

Haddile erblickte im Juni 2010 im schwedischen Lund das Licht der Welt. Bereits 20 Tage nach ihrer Geburt verschwand ihre algerische Mutter mit französischer Staatsbürgerschaft spurlos. Ihr Stiefvater sorgte sich daraufhin um die Kleine.

Im Alter von 4 Monaten wurde sie mit einer lebensgefährlichen Hirnverletzung ins Krankenhaus eingeliefert. Ihr Gehirn und ihre Augen waren blutunterlaufen; sie konnte kaum noch etwas sehen. Haddiles Stiefvater kam zeitweilig ins Gefängnis, weil der Verdacht gehegt wurde, dass er sie misshandelt habe. Da ihm jedoch nichts nachgewiesen werden konnte, kam er wieder frei.

Nachdem sie wieder aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen wurde, kam sie in Brodby (Skåne) bei einer Pflegefamilie unter. Sie haben sich rührend um sie gekümmert. Dieses Jahr entschied die Familie, die kleine Haddile adoptieren zu wollen. Dazu soll es aber nie kommen.

Das Migrationsverket - in etwa vergleichbar mit dem Integrationsbeauftragten des Sozialamtes - beschloss, die mittlerweile 2-jährige Haddile aufgrund ihrer französischen Staatsbürgerschaft in ein Kinderheim in Frankreich abzuschieben. Migrationsverket: "Es ist Frankreichs Aufgabe, sich um sie zu kümmern."

Die Pflegeeltern, etliche schwedische Staatsbürger und auch viele Politiker sind empört über diese Entscheidung. Es wurde bereits Klage eingereicht, da diese Entscheidung gegen Artikel 2 der Kinderrechtskonvention verstößt. Da diese Kinderrechte aber noch nicht in das schwedische Gesetz aufgenommen wurden, macht es die ganze Sache etwas schwieriger.

Bei einer privaten Initiative gegen die Abschiebung Haddiles wurden bereits über 30.000 Unterschriften gesammelt. Auch das schwedische Königshaus engagiert sich in diesem Fall.

Liebe Haddile,

auch, wenn du es nicht lesen kannst:

Ich hoffe, das Migrationsverket hat noch einmal Einsicht und revidiert seine Entscheidung. Es kann nicht sein, dass du als unschuldiges Kind, Opfer einer politischen Entscheidung wirst. Deine Pflegeeltern, Schweden und viele andere Menschen stehen hinter dir und hoffen, dass auch du das Glück haben darfst, in wohlbehüteten Verhältnissen aufzuwachsen. 

Jag håller tummarna för dig!

Switching back to German

Ok guys, I really need to tell you, that I'm going to change the blog-language back to German. It wasn't an easy decision, cause I like it to write in English, but in my opinion my English-skills are really bad. And it's much easier to express myself in German.

So I have to say now: Goodbye English! Guten Abend, Deutsch! :D

Song of the Week

I wanted to start a new category on my blog.

Each week I'm going to introduce you my Song of the Week.

My first "Song of the Week" is made by Petra Marklund. Some of you may know her under her artistname September. Händerna mot Himlen is an uncoupling of her upcoming album "Inferno", which will be released on 17th October 2012 in Sweden.

Hurray!!!

Had some sad days behind me. There were a lot of people, who treated me bad,  cause I met Eric Saade 2 weeks ago or they laughed about me, cause I'm overweighted. That was really a kick in the teeth.

But since yesterday, I'm feeling better. And the reason was Ola! First I've read, that he's going to release "I'm in Love" in October here in Germany. Then I tweeted him how happy I'm about it and he answered me on that tweet. And this morning I received another tweet of him.



Ola is such a wonderful person and I really hope to see him here in Germany soon.

Back home from Poland

Puuuh...finally back home from Poland. But I have to say, that I miss that wonderful time I had in Sopot, Gdynia and Gdansk.

On Thursday I left my city by bus. 19 hours to Poland. But every minute was worth it. In Berlin I finally met my friend Mel, who came with me to Sopot. On Friday we arrived at about 1pm in Gdynia, from where had to take the train to Sopot.

When we arrived at our appartement we had to realize: "Wow! That's not what we have expected, but ok, it was just for 2 nights." Everything looked so oldschool, bathroom was not the cleanest one and one of the beds collapsed in the 2nd night.

At about 6pm we went to Opera Lesna. Sadly it was raining and afterwards we looked like a drowned cat. The show started at 8pm. We really didn't understand any words. Ok, that's no wonder when you don't speak any Polish words. Basically we were just there to see our big idol Eric Saade. During the show, I received a textmessage of Tomas, Eric's manager, which said, that we could meet Eric after his performance at the backstagedoor. We were so happy, that we could see him again after the backstagemeeting in Malmö in March.

Then he came on stage. Looking great like every time. And his performance was nearly perfect. I realized, that he made some mistakes, but ok, he was quite nervous, cause it was his first appearence on Polish TV and so it was excusable.


His performance ended with a big applause from the audience, and that was our signal to stand up and go to the backstagedoor to meet him. And then he came aswell. My heart was beating like a jungledrum ;) First some Polish fans took some pics with him and gave him some presents. Then he said, he had to go. We were like "WTF?", but his manager told him, that some German fans were also waiting for him. Puuuh! :) I gave him a list with all the names of our fanbase and told him, that these are the names of about 700 fans living in Germany. He was like "WOW! That's awesome! I never knew that I have so much fans there" and showed the list to his manager, who was also fascinated. Afterwards I gave him some sweets: Toffifee, Giotto and Marzipan, cause I knew that he likes everything with nuts :) He was very thankful and posted later 3 pics of all my presents on his Instagram-account. We took some photos and then was the time to say byebye :( But it was so good to see him again.

 
Some minutes later we met 2 of his dancers: Rim and Alex. They were happy to meet us and they took some time to talk with us, to take some pictures and receive some presents. Rim really loved the Skittles we gave here. She's very addicted to them :D Alex was very happy when I told him, that we spreaded his auditionvideo for the Believetour. He was very perplexed, but very thankful that we love his video and showed the video to thousands of other people. They had to leave after a while and we went back to out seats to enjoy the rest of the show. Eric has won 2 awards that night. So proud of him!


On Saturday we did some sightseeing in Sopot and went by boat to Gdansk. Both cities are very beautiful and very recommendable.

Sunday was the last day in Poland. After we have packed our luggage, we went again to the Opera to shoot some pictures and we could arrange to take home 2 festivalposters as a souvenier :) At 11am we went to Gdynia by train, did some shopping and spent some hours at the marina, before we had to leave Poland at 16pm. Again 19 hours by bus, but this time without changing the bus.

Instagram

Photography is one of my passions and I love to share photos with others. Here are some pictures I shared on Instagram. If you want to see more of them, just visit my profile and follow me :) My username: addictedtosweden








BELIEVETOURAUDITIONS Alex Jafarzadeh & Amir Ashoor

Alex (black sweatshirt) is one of the best dancers I've ever known and I hope, they choose him and Amir. Dancing is Alex's life and it would mean a lot for him to dance for Justin Bieber. He really deserves it, cause he is very talented and a very nice guy. I met him in March in Malmö, when he danced for my favourite star Eric Saade.

30-days-Song-Challenge

You maybe realized, that there are still some days missing in my 30-days-song-challenge. Sadly all the song I wanted to show you are blocked on Youtube for German users. Hate the GEMA! They block so much songs I love :(

Pics from Sweden

Here are some pics I wanted to show you. I made them on my trips to Sweden in 2010 and 2011.

Stockholm 2011


Stockholm - Malmö - Göteborg - Karlstad - Örebro - Stockholm 2010


Day 26 – A song that you can play on an instrument

When I was 13 I started to learn keyboard and later playing the piano. After a break of 10 years I started playing again. I always had the predisposition not to play with sheets, instead I prefer to play by ear. The first song I've taught myself  "Så vill stjärnorna" by Molly Sandén.

Day 24 – A song that you want to play at your funeral

Wow, it's hard to think about your funeral. Especially when you're young. I wanna live at least 80-90 years. So I have more than 60 years left to choose a song for my funeral. If I would die in the nearest years - what I don't expect, or better not hope (!) - I want that a song by The Rasmus will be played at my funeral.

The Rasmus - Funeral Song

Day 23 – A song that you want to play at your wedding

A wedding is so far away, when you still haven't met the right man. But I already have some ideas how my wedding should be like :)

I wanna marry on a landing stage at a lake in Sweden. The flower girls should wear delicated pink dresses and daisy chains in their hair. The Wedding Banquet should be held in a field of flowers. White doves fly into the sky. And there is also music playing in the background. I wanna listen to several songs at my wedding. First of all the wedding version of Danny Saucedo's song "Amazing" and "Unbreakable" by Westlife. This song is for me the most romantically song and it really fits well for a wedding.

Hmmmm....time to dream :)

Day 22 – A song that you listen to when you’re sad

There are some songs I listen to, when I'm sad. Today I post 2 songs, cause I can't decide which one I should choose.

Yann Thiersen - Comptine d'un autre été

 

Kristian Valen - Still here

 

Day 19 – A song from your favourite album

My favourite Album at the moment is "Get Started" by David Lindgren.

"Shout it Out" was David's entry at the thisyear's Melodifestivalen with which he wanted to participate in Eurovision if he had won the Mello. Sadly he didn't win the competition.


3 weeks left!

And I really can't wait anylonger! In 3 weeks I will make a 19-hours bustour to Sopot - a city in the north of Gdansk, Poland. You wanna know, why I go to there? Because I wanna see Eric Saade again! Ok, I might be a bit crazy, but that's me :)

Day 17 – A song that you hear often on the radio

Ed Sheeran - The A Team

Day 16 – A song that you used to love but now hate

I really loved "Ai se eu te pego"! But now I can't listen to it anymore, cause they played it too much on the radio.

Michel Teló - Ai se eu te pego

Day 15 – A song that describes you

A song, which decribes me is a Swedish song by Molly Sandén.

The translation of the chorus:

My life is mine
I wanna go my own way
don't wanna live other's dreams
please leave me alone
your tears are like waves in the water
but I have to tell you, that you already know, that my life is mine

Molly Sandén - Mitt liv är mitt

 

Why it describes me? It's really simple to tell you: I don't like it when people tell me what I have to do; which decisions I have to make or which way is the right one. It's my fucking life - not the life of others.

Day 14 – A song that no one would expect you to hear

Nobody would expect me to hear opera-songs. Ok, the following song is a mixture of opera and pop, but it's amazing! It a song from Malena Ernman, a Swedish opera-singer and she participated with her song "La Voix" in Eurovision 2009.

Malena Ernman - La Voix

Day 13 – A song that is a guilty pleasure

Ok, that song is really akward, but I like it. Normally I don't tell people, that I like this song, but in this challenge I have to tell it ;)

Carmen Geiss - Jet Set

Day 12 – A song from a band you hate

Hate is a strong word, and I don't hate on people who didn't treat me bad. So I rename this category in: A song from a band you don't like

There are some bands, I don't like that much. But there is one band of which I don't like their songs, but I respect all they did, cause they reached much more in their life than I will ever reach.

Tokio Hotel - Durch den Monsun

Day 11 – A song from your favourite band

First of all, my favourite is a band of Sweden. Haha..I guess it was your first thought, that they come from Sweden. And I think, most of you know them: They are very successful in Sweden and aswell in other countries like Germany, Austria or Finland.

Do you need more information? Ok! They come from Borlänge and the band was founded in 1999. The bandmembers are Björn Hans-Erik Dixgård, Gustaf Norén, Patrik Heikinpieti and Mats Björke.

Well, enough information now. I think, you all know, which band I mean. Of course it is Mando Diao! And here is my favourite song of them:

Mando Diao - Gloria

Day 10 – A song that makes you fall asleep

This song doesn't make me fall asleep, because it's boring, but I makes me start dreaming.

Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata

 

Day 09 – A song that you can dance to

I really can't dance, cause I have a bad sence of rhythm. This one is the only song, I can dance to :)

Los del Rio - Macarena

Day 08 – A song that you know all the words to

Wow! Do I have to show them all? Because I know the complete lyrics of a lot of songs :)

I pick this one, cause it's a current song and I love it!

Loreen - Euphoria

Day 07 – A song that reminds you of a certain event

First, I really wanted to post again a song of Eric Saade, like I did yesterday, because his music also reminds me of a fantastic event, but I now post a song, which I combine with another event.


De Höhner - Wenn nicht jetzt, wann dann

 

This song was originally a song for the Cologne carnival, but De Höhner (you can translate it with "The Chickens" - really weird, but that's Cologne) covered their own song and made a handball-version out of it. So it became the themesong of the Handball World Championships 2007, which where held in Germany. The final was held in Cologne. And in the end, Germany won the trophy! Sadly I couldn't watch the final, because I was in Los Angeles for a school project during that time.

Everytime I see pictures and videos of the Championships and especially the award ceremony, I get goosebumps. It was a well organized event and Germany won it 29 years after the last one.

Day 06 – A song that reminds you of somewhere

I've chosen the song "Without you I'm nothing" by Eric Saade, because it reminds me of the wonderful time I had in Malmö and Helsingborg in March. I've met a lot of Saade-fans, which I only knew from the Internet,  went to 2 fantastic concerts and finally met Eric Saade, my favourite musician, backstage after his concert in Malmö. It was such a great time with him. And I really miss it.

Day 05 – A song that reminds you of someone

The following song doesn't remind me of a special person. Instead it reminds me of my classmates of the commercial college I had been on from 2005 till 2007. We had a wonderful time during these 2 years!

It's a German, or more specific a Cologne dialect song:

Brings - Superjeile Zick (engl.: super great time)

 

Thanks for the wonderful time to Brahim, Melanie, Denis, Christian, Mathias, Sarah, Saskia, Kathrin, Patrick, Anja, Jenny, Alex, Marcel, Rajana, Bianca, Florian, Katrin, Aylin, Dominik, Sebastian, Martin, Maciek, Laura, Daniela, Vanessa, Svenja, Sabrina and Konstantina.

I also want to thank all my teachers, who supported us during that time: Mr.Wagner, Mr. Kraus, Mrs. Tavenrath, Mrs. Frensemeyer, Mr. Weins, Mr. Bartsch, Mrs. Diesler-Fehlau, Mr. Konlechner, Mrs. Kilian, Mr. Kabino, Mr. John and all I forgot ;)

Day 04 – A song, that makes you sad

Everytime I here the song La Oreja de van Gogh - Jueves I have to cry, because this song has a very special meaning for me. It's the song for the victims of the terrorattacks in Madrid. I have been there on that day and it was horrible to see all the people covered with blood. I will never forget that day and will ever think of all the people who have lost their lifes on that day.


Day 03 – A song, that makes you happy

Everytime I listen to the following song, I'm feeling great. Just like the lyrics say: "I'm feeling great, I'm feeling awesome!"

Danny Saucedo - Amazing

 

There are also some other versions of this song. For example, his dance-crew "covered" his song. And it's fantastic aswell!

Day 02 – Your least favourite song

I have a lot of favourite songs, and there are some of my favourites, which I don't listen as much as the others. My least favourite song is this one:

Stiftelsen - Vart jag än går

Day 01 – Your favourite song

Wow, that's hard to make a decision, cause I love a lot of songs.

But I have to choose one, so I pick this here :)

Eric Saade - It's gonna rain

Just a question of interpretation

People say that I'm single. For me it sounds like that I'm alone or I can't love anybody. That's not true, because I love my family, my friends, handball, music and Sweden. I prefer to say that I'm "free" :)

Summer?

Where are you, summer?

It's raining cats and dogs since some weeks and it's so cold outside. Had to turn on the heater cause it was icecold in my flat.

Please, lovely summer, come back! We need you :)

Sorry...

...for not writing something in the past weeks. Either I had no time or I wasn't in the mood to write something. A lot of bad things happened in the past days.

First, there was the thing, that a really good friend broke her shinbone during our handball-tournament in Minden. And at the same day I had to realize, that someone of our team told me a big lie. I'm so disappointed and angry at the same time.

We had a bit trouble with her after a match, so I've talked to her in private. Suddenly she began to cry and said, that she wished to have died when she had her heart attack a couple of months ago. Then she ran away. I really got into panic, cause I thought, she attempts suicide or something else. My teammates tried to calm me down. That was really too much for me. But that wasn't everything. In our last game my good friend broke her shinbone. It was hard for me that I couldn't help her and see her suffer. And the emergency doctor needed a long time to be there. It made me cry. I was down and out. After my good friend was on the way to the hospital, the teammate, we had trouble with, collapsed. Later in the hospital they said, that she never had a heart attack in her life. I'm so pissed off of her! I really wanted to slap her face, cause she stampeded me with such a lie. I'll never going to talk with her again. She doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned!

Sk9 - Punkrock of the finest

Just wanted to introduce you the band of a very good friend.

The band's name is SK9. I really don't know, what's the meaning is, but I love their music.

SK9 consists of 3 bandmembers:

Sk9 after their win of Rockbron 2011

  • Ronnie "Roosterboy" Bergman
  • Henrik "High-Hat" Walter
  • Patrik "LK" Joansson
They got insprired by Green Day, Sum41 and The Offspring.

Here you can listen to their song "The Art Of No Sleep", which is a song of their album "Failure To Launch" which was released in 2011.

Euro 2012

Only 3 days left until the UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland and Ukraine finally begins!

Normally I really don't like soccer, but I love the international tournaments. And every time I have one favourite team. Guess which one it is! Yeah, of course it's Sweden! :)

So I now want to give you a short preview of the Swedish nationalteam - also called Blåguld or Tre Kronor

Sweden, which will play in Group D against Ukraine, France and England, certainly has the opportunities to annoy the two favourites England and France in the group stage if they are in good form on the day and then even give a chance at the quarterfinals. The team of coach Erik Hamrén is however dependent on a motivated Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is obviously the star of the Swedish national team. But there are more good players around Ibrakadabra playing for Blåguld: Marcus Berg, Sebastian Larsson, Kim Källström and routinier Olof Mellberg.

In the past, Blåguld wasn't that good at major tournaments. It's greatest success, the Olympic gold medal in 1948 and Vice World Champion title in 1958 are really dated back and at the last World and European Championships they sadly lost in the semi-final latestly.


on top: Olof Mellberg, Johan Wiland, Ola Toivonen, Daniel Majstorović, Kim Källström, Zlatan Ibrahimović;
bottom: Mikael Lustig, Pontus Wernbloom, Sebastian Larsson, Behrang Safari, Emir Bajrami




The results of all matches against their opponents (W/D/L)

  • England
    21 matches - 6/9/6
  • France
    17 matches - 4/8/5
  • Ukraine
    3 matches - 1/1/1
That's enough of statistics :)

Now it's time to let the Euro 2012 begin! Heja Sverige!

Unbelievable!

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I just got a phone call from a publishing company and they made me a unbeatable offer! They saw one of my Sweden-pictures on a photography-plattform and they want to pay me 500€ for it to publish it in their newest book about Sweden!

OMG! I still can't believe it! Please, I need someone to pinch me, that I realize, that it's the reality!

Thanks God For It!

I've finally finished my accounting exam!

It was really the hardest exam I've ever had. If I compare it with my finals, the finals were a snap!

Now I have to wait 3 weeks for the result. Please keep your fingers crossed, that I will pass this exam with a good grade!


Unattainable Love

Every once in awhile - right in the middle of an ordinary life - love gives us a fairy tale. But not all have a happy ending. Not all love is returned. Even though my love for this special person is the strongest I've ever felt. It will never be returned.

The first time I met him, I looked deep into his eyes and I stared into his soul and I know that he's the one for me. Whenever that may be and however that may be, what I feel will never end nor will the hole left in my heart. The deep, cavernous abyss. But the love is unattainable. Sealed away, kept hostage behind the bars of his beating heart.

Only one holds the key and that person is not me. And it never will be.I think, he doesn't love me and he never will. I just wish I felt the same. And that’s why I feel I’m dying inside.   Yet he is so far away,  that he will never be mine. Like the stars in the midnight sky. So he leaves my side and steps away. Leaving me there, standing motionless, alone, cold and in love.

For me the pain of love is the pain of being alive. It is a perpetual wound that never seems to heal. People always say don't fall in love with somebody who doesn't love you back. I only wish love was that simple...

I'm in love!!

I found the love of my life a few minutes ago!

I was surfing on the internet and looked for some houses in Sweden. Only just 4 fun. But then there was this house, which made me let my heart beats faster! It is so beautiful and I've directly fallen in love with it. I really need to buy it! But where to get 2.495.000 Swedish krona?













Ooops...I did it again!

After my first match as a referee I have sworn myself not to referee a handballmatch again. And what have I done last friday? Right! I refereed a match again ;) Nearly our male team lost 'cause of my decisions, but in the end they made a 26:26-draw. Puuuuh! Saved by the bell! :D

But that was really the last time! I swear! ;)

Hugs,
Linda

Get me out of here!

I'm in Hamburg since Sunday. First I thought, it would be a lot of fun, but the accounting seminar is more or less horrible.

The teacher is so fast in telling us all the information about accounting transactions of VAT, wages, bad debts, cash backs and so on. And every accounting transaction is different in business law and fiscal law. So it's quite a lot to learn. But in 3 days it's finally finished.

The best of all is, that I got known to some really nice people. We did a pup tour this evening and it was a lot of fun.

Tomorrow we're going to do a "red-light-district-tour" in St.Pauli :)

But now it's time for a sleep.

Good Night everyone!

Hugs,
Linda

Newest signing by Eric

And I'm so happy about it, because he signed a picture, which I made on his concert in Malmö.

I've sent it to my lovely Mel, who I know from Facebook and met in Helsingborg and Malmö. Mel gave it to Eric, when she met him again backstage in Jönköping. She told me, that Eric was fascinated of this picture and that he has shown it to the other fans, who were in the backstage-area.

Afterwards he signed the picture with a special dedication. Can't stop looking at it :)

Successful weekend

If you're tired on a monday, you have spent an awesome weekend! And so did I.

Saturday I had my first handballmatch as a referee. I was soo nervous before the game, but it was ok. Both teams grumbled indeed about some decicions I made, but if you are a referee, you're the boss on the court and everybody has to do what you say :D

Our male-fanclubteam pwned the other fanclubteam with 28:18! Well done, guys! I'm proud of you all! And in 2 weeks we try to do the same :)

Yesterday I went to the handballmatch of my new team. It was a very heart-stopping match, but in the end, they won 27:26. Sadly they didn't manage to be promoted into the 4th division. So next season we gonna play again in the 5th division and start a new try.

Later that evening we went to the hangout and celebrated the ending of the season with some beer and canapé. It was an amazing evening with the players, coaches and friends.

But now I have to continue working. More or less for about half an hour. Then I can say: It's home time!

Hugs,
Linda

Quite nervous

Tomorrow I gonna have my first handballgame as a referee. It's just a match between 2 fanclub-teams, but I'm soooo nervous. I have fear that I decide wrong in some situations.

Please wish me luck for tomorrow :)

Hugs,
Linda

Travel bug

I'm back home from Sweden since about 3 weeks and all I wish is to be there now or rather for the rest of my life. 

It was a really awesome time in Malmö and surroundings. Met some German Saade-Fans there and of course my idol Eric Saade. Wont forget these days. I really miss Sweden. Each evening I'm lying on my bed crying.

Everytime I'm in Sweden for holidays I feel like being home. A feeling, that I've never had when I'm here in Germany. I know Malmö, Stockholm and other cities much better than my hometown. This feeling bolsters me to go back to Sweden. And I want to spend there the rest of my life. There are no many reasons which keep me here anymore. Fundamentally it's only my family which keeps me here. If I had the money, I would emigrate immediately. 

First reply from a star

I have never thought, that I once get a reply on Twitter from a star. But today I got one and I'm so happy about that.

Thank you so much, September, for the reply. That means a lot to me, cause I really love your music.

To those, who don't know September:

Her original name is Petra Marklund and she's a famous singer from Sweden. Her most famous song was "Cry for you" (2006) which has also been in the charts in some other european countries.


And this is my favourite song of her:

Same procedure as every day

Getting up early is really pissing me off. Every single day the alarm-clock wakes me up at 5 a.m. - a very unpleasant time. Need more sleep, but I don't get it.

So at 6.30 I leave my home to go to work. 2 hours going by bus and train. And that's only one-way. It's very boring, but I survive this time with listening to the best music on earth: Eric Saade.

But the worst thing of the day is, when you arrive at work after these 2 boring hours and there is really nothing to do. Not a single task to do, but you have to stay at least 8 hours.

Today is again such a day. So I'm going to answer some questions, which I was asked by several persons. Enjoy :)

If you were a teacher, what subject would you like to teach?
- I actually haven't thought about that. Maybe maths and geography

What smell brings you back to a childhood?
- That smell of charred gumboots ;)

What’s the first thing you did when you woke up today?
- I smashed the alarm-clock against the wall. hahaha, just joking. I took a shower :)

What drink do you prefer when you’re thirsty?
- Apple spritzer or just simple water

Why do women live longer than men?
- Because they get credited the amount of time they need for getting into a parking space. *smile* I actually don't know, why they live longer. Maybe, because men have to do harder work.
You're planning a nice dinner party but could only invite 3 people. Who would you invite?
- Only 3? Aaah...that's hard to choose, cause there are a lot of people I would invite. Let me think about that. Hmmm...Now I have it. I would invite Eric Saade, Danny Saucedo and the amazingly Kim :)

When was the last time you got in trouble? What did you do?
- That was a pretty awkward situation. I've been at the Copenhagen airport 3 weeks ago. I checked in my luggage and put my ticket into my handbag. Afterwards I left the building to smoke a cigarette, cause there were about 3 hours left until my plane departed. Some minutes later, I was on my way to the security control. There I needed to show my ticket. I opened my handbag and got a shock: My ticket was missing! Then I remembered, that I put an old newspaper into the dustbin. I ran back to it and found my ticket in it. It took a load off my mind when I've found it.

What languages do you speak?
- German is my mothertongue. In school I've learnt English, French and Spanish. And additional to that I speak some Swedish.

Ok, I think that's all for the moment. I will answer to more questions later :)

Hugs,
Linda

Here I am...

...back again!

Inspired by some friends, I finally decided to start a second try with a blog. After I haven't written that much on my old blog, which was only in German language, I'm now starting this blog totally in English.
 
I won't have a special topic, I'm going to write about, but I think, some posts will be about Sweden. As you can see on my blog-title, I'm totally addicted to Sweden. I adore this country: the beautiful landscape, very nice people and the language are making it worth to travel often to this wonderful country.

To those who don't know me, I'll introduce myself :)

My name is Linda, 25 y.o. and I live in a little city near Cologne, Germany.  In my sparetime I play handball in 2 teams, learn different languages (atm Swedish and refreshing my Spanish-skills) and I listen to music. My favourite kind of music? Well, I don't have a special one, but I mostly listen to musicians and bands from Scandinavia, like Eric Saade, Danny Saucedo, The Rasmus, Sunrise Avenue, Ola and some more. I actually don't like that mainstream-music which is in the German charts.

Well, I think, that were the most important facts about me. If you want to know more about me, just ask. But I'm sure, you get some more facts about me in the next postings.

Hope you'll like my newest blog :)

Hugs,
Linda
