They got the mouth - we got the soul

Here is a video of/about my favourite hockey team. We made it to the play-offs, it's "best of five" and so far the series is 1:1. Today is the next big match, in our town, and I'm nervous already!



You have to know that it's not the average hockey club. Once you go there, you're never gonna let go. It is very emotional, because all the fans support their team and they support you. The atmosphere is like no other. The video only shows a tiny piece of what is really going on during, before and after a hockey match of the Indians.

Because Jet is more than "Are you gonna be my girl".

So much for the street lights, they're never gonna guide you home

I went home after the second lesson today because I didn't feel very well. I had a rugby 7's tournament on Sunday, and the weather there was very changeful: We had sun, rain, warmth, terrible cold...that was strange. And yesterday I went to my rugby training and we had a hurricane warning (don't think of a big hurricane here, in Germany there normally aren't such things) and it was raining and cold and, of course, windy (but not as bad) and I think my sickness is the result of that.
What am I doing now? I have been sleeping until like half an hour ago, and now I'm watching a concert DVD of David Bisbal, a spanish singer.  I don't like all of his songs, but Silencio is very catchy and puts you into a good mood. He's the typical summer-music-maker, and right now he's performing a song with this typical spanish guitar in the background and outsde it's stormy and dark haha. A friend of mine lend me this DVD, and she also gave me copies of the two albums Sam's Town and Hot Fuss by The Killers. I haven't listened to the first one so far, but Hot Fuss is great. It includes hits like Somebody told me, Mr. Brightside and Smile like you mean it. I can't remember where or when I heard of The Killers first, but I think I saw them in The OC. Anyways, they're great, and if you still haven't listened to them (which I doubt, because Human and Spaceman are huge at the moment) you definitely should try =)
My mom bought me a Hibiscus as a "Get-well-gift" =D I was really happy about that...all 
the buds are still closed but my mom says its yellow with red in the middle so I'm looking forward to finally getting to see it! 
As you might already know, I LOVE Hibiscus, it's my favourite flower (closely followed by the tiare flower). I bought one two weeks ago, here you can see the flower that is open right now:
The last thing for today: David Bisbal knows how to sing, but he obviously doesn't know how to dance xD

That's why I'm easy, I'm easy like Sunday morning

Sorry for the long pause...Somehow, I just didn't find the time to post anything.
Well, there's a lot to tell! 
Jason Mraz is coming to my town for a concert! I found out last Sunday in the internet, his concert is on March 12, quite strange because whenever there is a concert they announce it everywhere in the radio and on posters in the city. So on Sunday there still were tickets, but when I had asked some people in school if they wanted to come and I had a look at the page in the afternoon, all tickets were gone! I kinda freaked out but didn't lose hope because my dad works in this (music-) business and he phoned a few people but he doesn't know anybody who works at the Jason Mraz tour...yeah so now I'm gonna call the concert company of my town if there's any chance of buying tickets at the cash box in front of the concert hall. It would be so sad if I missed that concert! =(
I can almost oficially say that my surf camp is booked, only that I haven't booked it yet because I wanna do it together with my parents because of some contractual stuff. I'll try today. But I'm definitely going and SOOO excited! 
I'm also going to Dublin with my english course which I'm kinda looking forward to but still not a 100% convinced about. There had been a lot of discussions about it in the past because it was/is too expensive, but we're trying to collect money to alleviate that a bit.
The weather is still S-H-I-T. We had 1 or 2 days of sun, inmediately followed by rain. Whenever the sun is out, if only for an hour or two, everybody's quite happy. The worst point was on thursday, when I had my rugby training and it was raining and cold and the wind was blowing without mercy. We ran around a bit, practised some moves for the match on Sunday and my mood got really bad. I just can't wait for spring to come, actually I want summer, but spring's still better than this "can't-decide-if-I-wanna-be-autumn-or-winter-or-spring"-climate. I hope it'll be a hot summer as the winter was extremely cold (for german conditions). I want my tan back ^^ 
I already told my mom that, as soon as the sun and the warmth is back, I'd be the first to hang out by the pool in some lido. 
Oh, and I almost forgot: A DVD which I actually got for christmas (but it wasn't available) has finally arrived: The Endless Summer 2! Wohoo. I watched it as soon as I had unpacked it and love it! I must say that 1 & 2 are both really good, some say 2 is even better but I like the first better, can't say why. In the second they visit new spots as well as some the ones from the first ones had surfed and there are some surprises about it...the second one shows of course a lot of advanced surfing and stars like Kelly Slater, but one thing I loved about The Endless Summer 1 was that it is from the 60's, when in the biggest part of the world nobody even knew what was surfing and they still had those huge longboards with no leashes or anything "high-tech". And still they had some fascinating skills and maneuvers.
I gotta go now, we're having breakfast...I think I'l watch The Endless Summer 2 afterwards =)

/Edit/: N E W S F L A S H: *Oh happy day* I just wanted to book the surfcamp together with my mom and I filled in the form at the computer and she read "optional extra week" and asked me if I didn't want to do 2 weeks...what a question, I mean OF COURSE! We made a deal about the payment and now I can say that I'm not doing 1 week of surfcamp (which I would have been perfectly happy about, as you know), no it's two freakin' weeks!! WOOOOHOO. I could scream out loud. Can't wait! I'm gonna work even more so I have enough money to pay everything! Yea well I guess it's good to go for 2 weeks as my next trip will probably be next year...when I'm going to Costa Rica to visit my host fam. Just wanted to let you know =P

Who knows what could happen, do what you do just keep on laughing, one things true: There's always a brand new day


This is only an Update Post because I don't have too much time these days:
So as you can see I haven't been blogging for the last few days, it's because schoo started again and it's 3 books I still have to read and there's homework to be done and I have to go to my rugby training...I know, sounds like a super-full schedule but it isn't that bad actually. My goal (remember?) was to enjoy life more is being achieved until now, I meet friends more often and I see things a little more relaxed. This week has been stressful though, because I'm going to Austria with school on Friday and I'm busy tyding up my room, packing my stuff aso. I also had to get some material for skiing, like special glasses etc. I'm sure we will all look totaly hilarious, wearing several layers of clothes...Some have been asking me what shoes I'm gonna wear, because they only have sneakers, well, I will wear my mom's moonboots because even though I don't like how they look they're the only shoes that will really keep my feet warm and dry and that's what it's all about!
Furthermore, I went to a birthday party n Friday which was fun, and we didn't leave until 2 am and the metro would leave at 2:30 am so we just walked to the city centre and lasted 30 minutes. We were 4 persons and I definitely wouldn't have walked through those streets alone...there were some strange persons walking around!
On Saturday I had a "celebration"-thing (it really was an X-mas party, late!) with my rugby team and we played a game in the forest and we were running around for like 3 hours until we were reeeaaally tired, we went to a restaurant in the zoo, after that I went straight home (which was around the corner, haha!) and landed in my beloved bed, half-dead. 
Today is a big soccer match, Hannover 96 (thats "us") vs. AC Milano. That means David Beckham, Ronaldinho, Kaká and Co. I'm going with my family, friends of the family and a friend of mine, we're 8 or 9 people in total. That's going to be so much fun. Before that I have sports, the last two lessons of my skiing classes (I know you can't teach skiing in a hall, we're inline-skating and running around instead :-S). 
So that's the update, and so I won't forget here are some things I wanted to blog about:
  • Surf's up movie
  • Surf's up OST
  • The Endless Summer
  • The one and only bagel-slicer xD
  • my new hoodies, haha
  • Hook me up - The Veronicas
  • My ski-trip to Austria
  • There's nothing left to lose - Fo Fighters
  • Dizzy up the girl - Goo Goo Dolls
  • The better life - 3 Doors Down
  • How to...Plan a surf trip
a.s.o....oh, yeah, the Bush-nightmare is over, I hope, Obama has already blocked and undone some of Bush's latest laws (which weren't legal yet). He stoped many Guantanamo orders...we'll see how he'll do with his new job.
About the surf camp...my mom really allowed me to go! YAY! But I did some research and I think I'm not gonna go to Vieux Boucau, but t Moliets, that's near. After getting information from the camp organization, it seems that the people at Moliets have more experience and that there will be more people going there than to Vieux. So it's Moliets! Wohoo! I do have more plans about that, I'll tell you next time!
To be continued...XOXO (I feel like Gossip Girl hahaha)

Today's title was taken from Who knows by Avril Lavigne. I was a huge fan of her back than, my friend and I even counted down to the release of Under my skin. I still like her (who cares about her changing by the way, everybody changes!!) but I'm not a fan anymore.

Don't think that you can ignore us, don't tell me that we're to blame. Don't pick our future for us or act like we're the same.

Weekend's over, again. There were many things to be done and I had a great time these days =)
On Friday was my dad's birthday, my sister and I made a cake for him but lasted too long so we decided to not eat it until Saturday. In the evening I went to a friend's and we had a karaoke session which was very funny.
On Saturday we finally ate the cake, it was delicious (it had to be as my sister and I really suffered doing it - there weren't any chopped hazelnuts so we had to roast, peel and chop them...), then I went to the city centre. I spend 4 hours shopping and wandering around...tyring but fun at the same time. I really enjoy to go shopping on my own because I have the freedom to look around as long as I want without boring anybody. I do like to go shopping with friends, too. 
What bought was a hoodie, as you can read on the right hand side I like hoodies, and this one is funny. I didn't take a photo of it yet so I'll show it to you in the next post. 
I also wanted to buy some shoes which were really cheap, brown sneakers, but my size was already sold out =(. I know, it's not the time for brown sneakers now, first of all because it's freezing outside and second because the new trend is colorful sneakers (have a look at nike.com and you'll see ;-P), but I already have some: My Vans (which are mainly black though), they have turquoise laces and skulls in all different colors on the sides and another pair (not Vans) that are blue and yellow. A friend of mine has Nike sneakers, they are so cool, and he designed them himself on the internet. 
Today I met a friend for breakfast at our favorite café/bar, for the rest of the day I just hung out at home. I didnt't even get myself to the stadium to see tonights hockey match. I'm a bad fan =P
I played Singstar with my sister instead, an we decided on buying Guitar hero tomorrow. This is going to be so much fun!
On friday something I had been waiting for a week arrived:

This beautiful metal sign, called "Surf shack". You and me are already getting used to the mirrored images due to my macbook's photobooth-programme ;-) The roadsigns say things like "Newport", "Oahu, Hawaii" a.s.o. The colors and boards are so beautiful! This sign is going to have a special place in my room, I haven't decided on which one yet.
My mom's birthday present has also arrived on Saturday, I will show it to you next time. Now I'm just going to bed because I am really tired...don't exactly know of what I am tired, I haven't done anything the whole day!

Oh, I almost forgot: There was a big earthquake in Costa Rica, 6,2 strength...I saw videos on youtube and it really scared me, 15-20 people have died already, some are missing, over a hundred people are stuck in a hotel and on a mountain where there are houses. One highway broke and 15 km of i have just vanished. Some mountains look like cut and many houses and bridges broke. I tried to reach my hostfam but they wouldn't answer the phnoe. I really hope this is only because they went out or maybe theres no electricity, that often happens. I'll keep thinking that nothing has happened to them because they live in a quite save region. But whats save for an earthquake? I hope they answer my emails soon.

Today's title was taken from Thanks for nothing by Sum 41 from my favourite Sum 41 album Does this look infected?.

I'm gonna make it bend and break, say a prayer but let the good times roll, in case God doesn't show

First day of school in 2009 is over. I only had 4 lesseon anyways, 2 of English and 2 of Spanish. Both were quite boring. Our new topic in English is "The American South" which I think is interesting. We're going to talk about "from slavery to civil rights" and about "the new South" which is about today's life in the south of the USA. In Spanish our topic for this semester is "Él y ella en el teatro español" (He and her in spanish plays)...that is uh...not so interesting. We'll see. 
When I got back from school I didn't feel my fingers and toes anymore and I looked like Rudolph (the reindeer) because it still is very cold outside. The ice hasn't gone yet and you have to be careful as hell to not fall down. Anyone going by bike these days might either not have been in Germany for the last 6 days or he/she has gone mad.
Then I went shopping with my mum, I bought 50 blank CD's and a note pad for school because I liked the look of it.


It is mirrored again, but you can still see what it looks like. 
We also saw an oversized universal remote control, the buttons were as big as the finger tip of a thumb! There was also an oversized frog toy, and a cool ghetto blaster which had like a case to put and plug your mp3-player in and you can also listen to the radio or to CD's. It wasn't expensive but I already have a nice hi-fi system. 

As you can see I updated my profile. Most of the text was inspired by one of my favourite books: Surf Girl Roxy. It shows many fotos of the Roxy surf-team but also contains texts, interviews and stories. The book helps me everytime I miss the warmth and the sun and the sounds and the smell of the seaside. The photographs make you feel a little closer to the beach.
So I took that text which characterises the whole team and (mostly) modified it and added things so it fits my person. The last part of the text is from the song "Pocket full of stars".
 
Here are some more of my favourite lines in Surf Girl Roxy:

  • "But the honest truth is, the ocean scares the shit out of me. I don't trust myself to hold my own against something so...omnipotent. All those mysterious currents and swells and riptides and rocks and reefs... And that's only half of it! What about everything swimming around you (unfriendly locals, bodyboarders, tourists, kids, old men in Speedos...) and underneath you (sharks, stingrays, jellyfish, sea snakes, giant squid, runaway kelp, poisonous...things)? Surfing may be fun, but it's hard and scary and dangerous, too. [...] These girls are the most fearless versions of themselves. They make me want to become a more fearless version of me. [...] You don't necessarily have to surf to learn something from them. We can all seek a little more danger in life. We can all take more pleasure in simple moments. And we can all test our own waters, seeking a connetion to, a lesson from, something larger than ourselves    -Natalie Linden (she isn't a surfer but wrote the texts in the book)
  • "The ocean never lets you down. It might surprise you, or frighten you, or challenge you, but it's always there for you. [...] You can get to know it, but you can never 100 % predict it. Some days the swell will come up faster than you could ever imagine, and you'll have to battle your way outside. You'll take waves over the head over and over again, barely able to catch your breath. You'll be scared and tired, but you can't give up. If you give up in the ocean, you'll never walk out of it. So you keep paddling, keep thinking, keep moving. You find your inner reserves. And when you make it up to the lineup, you've never been so grateful. You have accepted what the ocean has offered you, and you've proven yourself in the process. It's a metaphor for life."
  • "There are so many different boards, so many different waves and everything, it's like, it's always a new rush. Every morning, I'm just so stoked to get out in the water. Jumping out of my skin. I surf until I can't paddle, or think of doing anything else. Then I go in, relax, chill out, and count down the hours until I can go do it again. That's how it is. I'm an addict. I love it so much it's crazy."
  • "Just be active. Care. Smile when you mean it. Fight for what you love. Doesn't matter if it's surfing or soccer or painting or Greenpeace. It'll show."
  • "There is so much freedom in letting go of fear. On one trip, VK and Rachael took the Jet Ski out for a spin. VK had never driven one before, and she gunned it. They were going so fast, they looked like cartoon characters, cheeks flapping and legs flying everywhere. They hit a swell, ate shit, but they were laughing so hard they almost drowned. [...] You can see it right away in a person: that they're not afraid, or at least not enough to keep them from trying something new."
  • "If the surf is up, we're out three times a day, and spend the rest of the time laughing. If there aren't any waves, we spend the whole time laughing."
  • "The ocean always keeps you on check. Whenever you get cocky, you can count on Mother Nature to slap you in the face and say "Hello, I'm the boss, in case you forgot". [...] Ultimately, I just think life is all about the moment in front of you. I can only get to my future by living through everything in between, so I might as well make the most of every second. Love it as much as you can, or hate it as much as you have to, but just experience it for what it is." 
Hope you like it!

It came with the surf it came with a bang, and all across the board my friends felt the same

Today is the last day of my winter holidays, which is sad and great at the same time. Everytime school starts again after New Year's Day, I feel like the year is really starting right at that moment because my everyday life is just getting back to me.
I'm spending the day organizing my school stuff, cleaning my room while drinking Chai (my favourite tea) and copying music into my itunes - At the time I bought my new macbook I already had most of my CD's packed, and now I finally have some time to copy it all into my itunes. Until now I have 1550 songs, thats 201,4 days of music or 5,77 GB. And there's still a lot of music I didn't copy yet =) I also have a lot of old CD's in a box from when I was younger, I'm thinking about copying it into my itunes, but I guess I'll just take a few songs because most of the music I listened to sucks.
I also did myself a favour =P and bought the Surf's Up OST on itunes today. I bought it there because I only cared about the actual soundtrack and not the package - that's a lot cheaper. When I buy CD's of my favourite bands I like to have the original ones though.
So...I gotta say that this soundtrack was absolutely worth buying, not just for surf-fans but for everyone, it has 15 tracks of great music!! I can say that I have like 10 new favourite songs from now on and I'm not kidding! I love them all so much! Be prepared to read about and listen to the soundtrack soon and read, as I promised a looong time ago, the review about the Surf's up movie.
I also got the new The Veronicas album "Hook me up", I borrowed it from a friend. They really changed their sound a lot, you've got to get used to the electro-dance beats and their new "language" but it's actually not bad. Since the first album (which I like better) was more rock-pop, and the second is like pop-electro-dance, I wonder what the next one will be like. Too bad nobody knows them in Germany.

That's enough updates for today, tonight my friend is coming over and we'll go to the hockey-stadium to see a match. It's her first time ever to see a hockey game so I hope she likes it. It's not only about the sport but also a lot about the atmosphere which is amazing, I work there quite a lot and we're all like a big family, I'm always happy to see these people every week. But today I don't have to work so I'm taking my friend - we'll (try to) walk there (I live close to the stadium), hope we don't fall down like I did yesterday (haha) because this ice is e-v-i-l, let me tell you...;-)   -Cross your fingers!

Today's title was taken from Reggae got soul by 311. It's one of the tracks of the Surf's Up OST.

Style USB Sticks



I found a funny new version to save photos, music and everything else from my computer. USB Sticks that look like small surfboards! Until now I found two websites, one of them german, here.
If you aren't that much into surf, you can also find skateboards, snowboards, animals, pizza, burgers and: SUSHI! :D

¿Cómo vas a saber si nunca surfeastes?

Como vas a saber lo que es el placer, si nunca corriste una ola.
Como vas a saber lo que es dolor, si jamás te cortaste con un coral.
Como vas a saber lo que es la poesía si jamás vistes la caída del sol desde adentro del mar esperando la ultima ola.
Como vas a saber lo que es la humillación, si jamás un local te robo la ola perfecta. Como vas saber lo que es la plenitud, si jamás pegaste un tuvo como vas a saber lo que es el pánico si jamás te agarro un set, te revolcó y pensaste que no salías jamás.
Como vas a saber lo que es morir un poco, si nunca te ha importado alejarte de la playa por unos meses.
Como vas a saber lo que es el insomnio, si jamás te despertaste esperando un swell y no había amanecido.
Como vas a saber lo que es sacrificio si jamás remaste por una hora para poder entrar.
Como vas a saber lo que son las metas, si jamás trabajaste por unos meses para comprarte tu tabla.
Como vas saber lo que es la preocupación, si jamás se te rompió la cuerda y tuviste que ir a buscar tu tabla en las rocas.
Como vas a saber lo que es el perdón, si jamás le dijiste “esta todo bien” al rookie por el que caíste.
Como vas a saber lo que es la soledad, si jamás viajaste solo para correr esas olas que siempre soñaste.
Como vas saber lo que es la decepción, si jamás en tus vacaciones el mar estuvo flan por una semana.
Como vas a saber lo que es la amistad, jamás surfeastes con amigos.
Como vas a saber lo que es la vida, si nunca surfeastes.

10 Basic Rules of surfing (from SURFOS)

Here are some very useful rules picked up from Surfos, a surfer's magazine from Latin America - Costa Rica). They made a special Costa Rica Surf Guide in English (the actual magazine is in spanish). But I think you can use them at anywhere in the world, not only in Costa Rica. A big part of surfing is respect. You have to show respect and you have to earn respect, no matter how "new" you are! So here we go:

  1. If you decide to go surfing with your friends and the break seems somewhat crowded, do not enter the water all at the same time, but go out separately. Don't make it look like an invasion. Don't paddle out straight to where everyone is, instead wait on the side for a while and take your time.
  2. Once in the line up, do your best to say, "hello", to the others, even if nobody answers back. Remember that what really counts is your intention.
  3. Wait your turn, do not paddletowards the inside for priority. If you look like you want to catch all the waves don't be surprised if others drop in on you. Don't be aggressive.
  4. When you paddle for a wave...catch it! If you refuse to go without a good reason, the locals won't give you another chance. Remember a wipe out is always better than missing a virgin wave. The really good waves don't appear every second.
  5. Respect priority! The surfer who stands uo the closest to the peak has priority (even if you stand up the closest to the peak has priority (even if you stand up first because you have a longboard). If you drop in, don't just disappear, make sure to apologize with respect.
  6. When you paddle back to the line up, be aware of the others. The ones surfing the waves have the priority over those paddling in. If you have to change direction, always paddle towards the white water, it's the only means of leaving the way clear for those surfing.
  7. Don't yell after catching or loosing a wave. And don't keep calling your friends while in the water. The majority of the surfers like to concentrate while waiting for sets and the shouting can be distracting.
  8. Leave sme waves for the others. Do not abuse of your priority, even more important to remember when you have the advantage of a longboard, evolutive board, bodyboard, etc.
  9. When you are about to get worked by a set and have to let go off your board, be really careful that you don't hurt someone around you in the water.
  10. Make a ritual of picking up a few pieces of trash before or after each session. It's a win-win situation and you will probably get somebody else thinking about doing the same thing.

So these are the ten basic rules, if you didn't get the meaning of some waords just comment it and I'll try to explain to you!
