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.

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

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! :)
