Song Lyrics!

now i'm post about song lyrics!
and this song is my favorite from Westlife!
i'm a Westlife fan!

Westlife - Something Right (Back Home album)

Never thought that I'd be so inspired
Never thought that I'd find the higher truth
I believed that love was overrated
'Till the moment I found you

Now baby I know I don't deserve
The love you give me
But now I understand that

If you want me I must be doing something right
I got nothing left to prove
And it's all because of you
So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing
Doing something right

It's because of you I feel so lifted
I've been looking at my life from higher ground
Never thought that I'd be so elated
You're the one who turned it all around

Now baby, I didn't know myself
Until you changed me
And made me understand that

If you want me I must be doing something right
I got nothing left to prove
And it's all because of you
So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing
Doing something right
Oh

And baby I know I don't deserve the love you give me
But I don't really care, cause

If you want me I must be doing something right
I got nothing left to prove
And it's all because of you
So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing (I know I must be doing)
Doing something right (Doing something right)

Doing something right
Yeah yeah
Something right

So if you need me
And baby I make you feel alive
I know I must be doing (I know I must be doing)
Must be doing something right
Yeah yeah
Something right

hwaaa this song is soooo good! (start singing)
well,i go now!

Pet around the world

Today post is about PET AROUND THE WORLD!!
(yeaaahhh!!) hmm,hmm... in this blog i think-
i need something cute like animals or anything but cute
(maybe Italy in Hetalia(?)) no.but today post is
about cats and dogs! what is your favorite pet?
is it written here?

A. Golden Retriever (Dog)


One of the most popular breeds in USA (according to a website)

the Golden Retriever is a sturdy, medium-large sized dog.
The skull is broad and the muzzle is straight, tapering slightly with a well defined stop.
The nose is black or a brownish black. The teeth meet in a scissors bite. 
The medium to large eyes are dark brown. The relatively short ears hang down close to the cheeks.
When pulled forward the tip of the ear should just cover the eye.
The tail is thick at the base with feathering along the underside.
Intelligent dog and they are easily trained. Always patient,friendly and energetic

B. Persian Cat


A long-haired breed of cat characterized by its round face and shortened muzzle. the most popular breed and have sweet-tempered cat.Persians are devoted to their humans, but can be selective in conferring that honor. You must earn their trust and love. They crave affection and love to be petted and fussed over, but won't harass you for attention the way some breeds will. They will, however, let their feelings be known if they are not getting the requisite amount of attention.

Owning a Persian requires a significant time commitment. That beautiful coat requires daily grooming to keep it in good condition and free of mats. Because of the long coat and docile temperament, Persians should be considered indoor-only pets. Many Persian fanciers keep at least part of the coat clipped, particularly the hindquarters and around the anus to avoid the accumulation of feces. This should be done, though, only if the cat will not be shown soon.

C. Norwegian Forest Cat

Is a breed of domestic cat native to Northern Europe, and adapted to a very cold climate, with top coat of glossy, long, water-shedding hairs, and a woolly undercoat for insulation. Although this is uncertain, the breed's ancestors may have been short-haired cats brought to Norway by the Vikings around 1000 AD, and may also have included the long-haired Siberian and Turkish Angora. During World War II, the breed became nearly extinct until efforts by the Norwegian Forest Cat Club helped the breed by creating an official breeding program. It was not registered as a breed with the European Fédération Internationale Félineuntil the 1970s, when a local cat fancier, Carl-Fredrik Nordane, took notice of the breed and made efforts to register it. Currently, the Norwegian Forest Cat is very popular in Norway,SwedenIceland and France.
It is a strong, big cat, similar to the Maine Coon breed, with long legs, a bushy tail, and a sturdy body. The breed is very good at climbing, since they have strong claws. The lifespan is usually 14 to 16 years, though kidney and heart diseases have been reported in the breed.

D. Hovawart

Hovawart is a German dog breed and look a like Golden Retriever.The head is powerful with a broad, rounded forehead. The skull is about the same length as the muzzle, with a well defined stop. The nose is black with well developed nostrils. The teeth meet in a scissors or level bite. The dark to medium brown eyes are oval in shape. The triangular drop ears are set high and wide apart. The front legs are straight. The feet are round, compact and strong, with well arched, tight toes. Dewclaws may be removed. The long-haired, dense coat is slightly wavy, laying flat. There are longer hairs on the chest, belly, back of the legs, and the underside of the tail. Coat colors come in black and gold, black or blond.

Sorry,i only showed 2 species each animal because i'm too busy and now i'm preparing myself for national exam  for next week! and i think the cats are cute! my favorite is Persian breed for cat!

Yes Mr. Ludwig,i think your cultures are very interesting,especially about Oktoberfest,right? Beer and wurst, the ingredients,etc.


Danke,author! yeah.. one of my popular cultures is Oktoberfest.



What is the meaning of Oktoberfest?

Oktoberfest is German,in English mean October Festive.It's big event in my country especially beer-producing region,Munich,Bavaria and the biggest even in the world. it went on 16 days and start from late September until first weekend in October.

I hear the beers for Oktoberfest is special and must pass the criteria,right?


ah.yes! the beer must have at least 12.5% Stammwürze or same like 6 % alcohol and must  also be brewed within the city limits of Munich


It's sound so complicate!

Ah... is he alright Mr. Ludwig? and you're drunk? how can?

Ahh... su..sure... can you tell us another thing from Oktoberfest?

in Oktoberfest,we spent almost 7 million liters in 2007,and i don't know how many beers are spent for last year. Women and Men are drink beer too... the most expensive is 8,80 euro and the most cheap is 8,60 euro. In the opening day,a minister-president of Bavaria will open the first barrel of beer which means the Oktoberfest is start

Wah..7 million liters? amazing! maybe i should visit Munich if i come to Germany! oh.. umm if festive without food it doesn't complete,right? i mean,in Oktoberfest any special food,right?

you should come to my place if you want



but i... i not have money! (crying in the corner) Can we start to talk about recreation places on Germany?

sure,but... where do we start?



I don't too much know about Germany. But if ain't wrong,there's a popular places called Romantic Road or in German is Romantische Straße... can you explain about that place?

oh,actually it's a road in Southern Germany from Würzburg to Füssen. That name came around 1950's in the American-occupied section of Germany. This road is popular among soldiers and they took their family to vacation on that road. Today,Romantic road is very popular,even Japanese sign available on them

Whoa! amazing! i'm sure that road is beautiful! umm,what beautiful place is available on them? i mean recreation places on them.

oh... i think the most interesting is Rothenburg ob der Tauben,it's well-preserve medieval town und castel in there.


Another destination?


it's very much! Bradenburg gate in Berlin,Hofbräuhaus in Munich,Nuremberg and the old town has been constructed including Gothic Kaiserburg Castle,Black Forest... Rihne Valley,Schöningen etc.

Woah it's a lot and make me confused which one should i visit if i come!

the most important thing is your administration is ready and know about manners on there.



Manners?

Eh? so,if i say about "Hitler" in front  of peoples they will angry to me?
