As the end of 2011 was approaching, I was thinking of stuff (as many people perhaps did) and of course the question of new year's resolution made its way into my head. I am not one who ever did that. I don't understand the need for it - If you wanna do something, just do it. However as the days were ending, a thought came that I should list all the nice things that happened in each of my days in 2012. It first came to me that I should tweet it everyday or put it in my Facebook status - show a little positivity to the world. Then I realized, I might be in places where I'll have no internet access. So I bought a thin cute book to list everything and I decided I would blog it at the end of each month. That somewhat became my new year's resolution. As not interesting as it may sound, I thought it would be a good practice to dig deep into my shitty days (which I am sure will exist) and see something, anything, at least one thing nice that happened that day. So if these entries are boring, I'm sorry (I'm sorry too if I'm tardy in posting). For some people, they may put things like got married, saw my baby for the first time, got proposed, etc. If it's me, perhaps the nicest thing was a chocolate bar, but then perhaps you can sense how sucky my day was that a chocolate bar was the nicest thing that happened to me :) Some days the nicest things will send me grinning from the inside, some days they will just stop me from crying, but those are my life in 2012, I suppose :)
PS: I did use this blog to talk about stuff long ago. I decided not to delete the entries. To read a more sobering view of my life, you can go here.

Curse Word in Another Language

Okay gonna use this blog for little thoughts which are too long for twitter. Hmm, wonder if this will cannibalize my lengthier blog.

Was listening to an Italian Radio and Cee Loo's Fuck You was on in all it's glory / uncensored. For those who do not know, the PG version is Forget You. Anyways, so I wondered if a curse word in another language can just be shown in countries whose native language is not the same language. I personally remembered watching something in an indo tv years ago when the Fuck utterance wasn't censored.

In another listening experience, was watching Cake Boss yesterday and Buddy / The Cake Boss said "minchia" which was an Italian curse word and it wasn't censored. Not sure if it will be censored in an Italian TV but I just felt tickled that you can curse as bad as you want in another language and it will be okay to be shown :P

December 2012

I did it, 366 entries. Well 365 since I missed 1 day which I couldn't pinpoint when. I'm not gonna do this again, since it's hard. It hasn't been a nice year for me mentally and to get stump thinking what on earth the best thing about my day was just made me feel sadder. Often time I really just couldn't find anything. So here you go, the last month:

The nicest thing today was ...

336) 01/12/2012 - being able to wake up late.

337) 02/12/2012 - the fact that it's Sunday.

338) 03/12/2012 - surviving today.

339) 04/12/2012 - when Jenny 2.0 took time to chat with me. I lost Max but God gave me her. I still miss Max though.

340) 05/12/2012 - Ben L'Oncle Soul. I love him, he's great :)

341) 06/12/2012 - the fried egg for dinner. I just love egg.

342) 07/12/2012 - Friday without ***** and many people. I felt rather relaxed but the feeling when it was all over was still much better.
* censored for this blog.

343) 08/12/2012 - the fact that it's Saturday.

344) 09/12/2012 - Downton Abbey: Behind the Drama. It reminded me why I fell for Matthew Crawley in season 1.

345) 10/12/2012 - when today was over.

346) 11/12/2012 - dinner with Joy and Marc. It was nice spending time with them and it's good that I went even though I was feeling rather moody and depressed the whole day. I almost didn't want to go.

347) 12/12/2012 - when there weren't many people during lunch.

348) 13/12/2012 - Honey Boo Boo and her family. Oh Lord, I'm sorry, I'm hooked to Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.

349) 14/12/2012 - friday evening tv. Though Glee was dreadfully awful for this year's christmas episode :( what a disappointment for such a high expectation of Glee Actually.

350) 15/12/2012 - the fact that it's Saturday.

351) 16/12/2012 - Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Every time I watch it, I'll go Lordy Lordy Lord and then I'll laugh. They got me laughing and that's important.

352) 17/12/2012 - finding out that I passed DELF B2. The score is 78. I secretly hoped I'd reach 80 so 2 points shy is rather disappointing but I did so much better than I expected so THANK YOU SO MUCH DEAR GOD! :)

353) 18/12/2012 - Barney's proposal in How I Met Your Mother. Darn, that is sweet and how I love Barney and Robin together.

354) 19/12/2012 - being in my room.

355) 20/12/2012 - when the guy who prepared my dinner said I love you when I was paying. I know it's cheeky and he's joking but I wonder if he did it because he saw me being so sad. At least he managed to get me say, ha ha!

356) 21/12/2012 - when today is over and I just lock myself in my room.

357) 22/12/2012 - the JERSEY BOYS. They made me smile.

358) 23/12/2012 - Jenny 2.0 making me brunch and dinner.

359) 24/12/2012 - the fact that I didn't feel burdened much today. I was doing not so bad.

360) 25/12/2012 - flu medicine that worked.

361) 26/12/2012 - the quiet moments watching All-American Muslim.

362) 27/12/2012 - Cake Boss, my new TLC addiction.

363) 28/12/2012 - the big bright full moon. It's like God put a light bulb in the sky.

364) 29/12/2012 - the fact that the Golden Rooster is back in business in the newly renovated food court.

365) 30/12/2012 - having an actual real laugh from my heart when I saw my cousin posed her daughter's legs funnily while the girl was sleeping in her stroller. Her legs were getting away the stroller moving.

366) 31/12/2012 - the rain and the grey sky.
