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
