A drop in the ocean


This week was really hard because I had no idea for writing my blog. It took me ages to find a topic. So I asked Katja if she has an idea. While she spend some time yesterday at my house I finally found my topic, 'A drop in the ocean' a song written by Ron Pope. Katja and me played some guitar and she showed me how play 'a drop in the ocean'.
It's a really nice song. Ron Pope just plays some chords and emphasizes his beautiful voice.

Ron Pope
Ron Michael Pope was born in Georgia ( 23th July 1983 ). He grew up in Marietta, Georgia . His music success started with the song 'a drop in the ocean' not just in the US also international.

Here are the lyrics:

A Drop in the ocean a change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It´s like a wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
Cause you are my heaven
I don´t wanna waste the weekend If you don´t love me, pretend
A few more hours then it´s time to go
as my train rolles down the eastcoast, I wonder how you keep warm
it's to late to cry, to broken to move on
and still I can´t let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
don't seek what you don't need for me
It's just A Drop in the ocean, a change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It´s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
Cause you are my heaven

Missplaced trust and old friends
never counting regrets by the grace of god
I do not rest at all
New England, there´s the leave change
the last excuse that I claim
I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don´t seek what you don´t need for me
It's just A Drop in the ocean, a change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It´s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
Cause you are my
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore
Heaven doesn't seem far away
A Drop in the ocean a change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It´s like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most
Cause you are my heaven
You are my heaven

I never heard the song before and I really enjoy listen to the song. It's peaceful and nice written. The only thing I don't understand in the song is the part 'I was a boy who loved a woman like a little girl'
Loved a woman like a little girl? He is a boy I would understand the lyric when he would say 'like a little boy' because he is a boy. Maybe you have an idea what he wants to say with the part =).
Hope you like listen to the song and thank you Katja for giving me a favour ;-)

Drama group


Today I want to tell you about my last couple days.

As all of you know we've (drama group) had our performances of the 'Chinese wall'. It's an all year tradition that there is a performance each winter.
This year we've had a special year. Many of the members left and new ones came and joined our group. It was hard for us to teach the new ones and we spend so much time in school. I remember the last rehearsal, it was a catastrophe and I'm not lying.
Last Friday we started acting in front of the audience. I love dressing up and playing a new character, I love the feeling when you're near to going on stage. You don't know how the audience react and you're so excited.
This year I had to learn a lot of text I played a quite big character, but I was fine with it. The time passed and it was Sunday. The last performance was a really good one. In the beginning of the year I thought of leaving the group, cause next year I'll write my final exams. But while I was acting on stage I've got the feeling of joining the group next year too. It's a passion to play and act on stage, I love it. Drama group is the group where I spend time with my friends and do what I love to do.
So now I'm looking forward to next year. Thanks to all of your support, it was nice to see your faces while acting and hear you laugh ( always a funny moment ).

Hope you enjoyed it. I really do enjoyed it :)

Your Mee Lan :D

My Sister


Today I would love to introduce you the most important person in my life. 

It's my older sister Saskia (22). She is not just a sister, she is my best friend, the person I can come to every time. She was always there for me. Our relationship grew about the years. We had a really nice childhood together. I remember the days at school when I talked about my sister, she was my little idol. We love to talk to each other, laugh and sing together. I couldn't think of a life without my sibling.
About my sister, she is the most lovely person I know. Most time she is a happy person and her goal is to be a doctor, that's the reason why she studies medicine.
Me (3) and Saskia (5)
I think when you meet my sister, you see something special in her. I definitely saw that something special. She is a good person you can talk to, she is serious but also humours. We have the same kind humour what makes it easy to laugh together.
Me and my sister are completely different (in a good way) but I really enjoy we aren't the same.

A Very Special Sister


For many years we've shared  our lives
One rood we once lived under
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Through winter storms and thunder
The younger years have faded fast
But through all times our friendship lasts
Our bond in life remains
As summer brings the happy times
The autumn winds will whisper
A closer friend I'd never find
Than the one I call my sister 


Last summer
I think 'A very Special Sister' exactly shows my feelings towards my sister. Most of you would say this about your sister or brother I think but I really appreciate my, as I call her sometimes, 'Schwesterherz' =).

Magdalena Neuner


Today I want to talk with you about my favourite athlete.

Magdalena Neuner


Magdalena Neuner is a German biathlete and she is one of the best athlete in the whole world of biathlon. She started doing this sport when she was nine years old. From this moment she was one of the bests in her age all around Germany. She won all the competitions. Her career in the German national team started early when she arrived 18. One year later she won her first three World Championship Gold Medals (2007). Her success grew year to year. Now she has already 10 gold medals and 2 Olympic Golds. She is know for her high quality of skiing, only the shooting is not always good. Besides sport she lives in in a small village calls Wallgau where she grews up.

I really like her because she stayed normal while her success. Her private life is important to her, that's the reason why she finishs her career in March 2012. Magdalena Neuner, or Lena like her friends call her, want to live a life like everyone else. My favourite athlete is a sympathetic person with a great sense of humour and the most thing I like about her is that sport isn't the most important thing in her life.
