English is an international language. I remember when I try to learn Japanese, it's so frustrating. You see that languages help us communicate and people around the world have different approaches to sound and the methods they use to name something signify their cultural differences too.

Let's take a simple word, apple, and let's translate it to different languages around the world to somehow see the similarities between countries. You'll see how I have a hard time converting apple to ringo. Let's follow world map:

USA, Canada, UK, Liberia, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Uganda, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand English: apple Denmark Danish: æble Mexico, Cuba, Costa Rica, Spain, Portugal Spain: manzana Iceland Icelandic: epli Ireland Irish: úll France, Senegal, Congo, Madagascar French: Pomme Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait Arabic: تفاحة (tafaha) Norway Norwegian: eple Swedia Swedish: äpple Finland Finnish: omena Poland Polish: jabłko Germany German: Apfel Italy Italian: Mela / Pomo Israel Hebrew: תפוח עץ (t'poo-ah aids) Kenya, Tanzania Swahili: apple / tufaha Ethiopia Amharic: ፖም (pomi) Turkey Turkish: elma

85. Please Make Me Happy

Synopsis

After the family matriarch passes away, a grieving family is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences, and begin to unravel dark secrets.

Genres	Suspense, Arthouse, Horror
Director	Ari Aster
Starring	Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro

I always worry I pick a wrong man for my husband. I worry that I'd be weak when I'm married. I worry that my husband wouldn't stand me no more and decided to torture me for his satisfaction.

I could say, "Why would you do this to me, husband? You said you love me and that's why I marry you!"

I imagined my husband would reply, "Yes, and you didn't even bother to get to know me well enough to see this is how I get angry, so angry at you! You agreed when I asked your hand in marriage anyway. That's when I got you on my web, forever! Haha!"

  

This is when I should ask if he wants children from our marriage. If he said yes, I would proceed to show off my kinky side and be pregnant. Surely after the baby is born, I would put it in the fridge so it becomes our children FOREVAH!!! Muahahaha!!!

Of course, if he doesn't want any children, I would refuse to see him ever again. I'll let him cheat on me. It's fine.

That's why children question is so important long before marriage. I also require an official statement on paper.

I used to want my children to grow up smart, clever, the top of the class. I want my children to be geniuses because then, they'd be safe, as they know how to tackle any problems that may come up in their life. I used to want my children to be close to me. I want my children to be good for their sake. I want my children to get home schooling. I want my children to grow up in front of me. I was so afraid they'd get bad influences if they go to public school. I was so afraid people might hurt them so bad, they'd fail in life. I was so afraid the children were too naive to take care of themselves being away from me. Now, I don't think it matters anymore. They have their own life, and I'm just an angel for them. I'd guide them, I'd lead them, I'd help them, but in the end, it's their life.

83. So Tell Me, Are You Checking Me Out?

Synopsis

I Need to Know
Singer: Marc Anthony

They say around the way you've asked for me
There's even talk about you wanting me
I must admit that's what I want to hear
But that's just talk until you take me there oh

If it's true don't leave me all alone out here
Wondering if you're ever gonna take me there
Tell me what you're feeling cause I need to know
Girl you've gotta let me know which way to go

Cause I need to know
I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know
I need to know
I need to know
Tell me baby girl cause I need to know

My every thought is of this being true
It's getting harder not to think of you
Girl I'm exactly where I want to be
The only thing is I need you here with me - oh

When you have a secret admirer, everyone suddenly knows about each other. They exchange information about you. If they don't know it, they'd get nosy and find out. All for your secret admirer. There might be a guy who'd suddenly know about your hobbies and somehow, they have the same hobbies. There might be that guy that's been with you the whole time, care about you a lot. When you're sad, when you're angry, when you're going through any kind of events, they just need to be there, or at least know about your whereabouts or your feelings. You need, I meant you MUST talk to someone about it somehow, right? RIGHT??!!! This is when we suffocate and say, No air, no air...
