Since we crank out so many stories each week some really good ones get lost in the cracks. And since so many new people visit Guyism every day (thank you), we thought we’d start taking some time on the weekends to share some classics that many of our newer readers may have missed. Everyone and their great-grandmother is on Facebook these days, celebrities are tweet-fighting with their children, and normal people can’t seem to stop broadcasting every trivial detail about their lives. Things that never should be told to anybody are now online for anyone to Google and find. No matter how many social networks you belong to or how often you update your favorite movies on Facebook, there are seven things that you should never share on your social media. 7 A break-up Breaking up with your girlfriend via a tweet makes breaking up with a woman on her voice mail look chivalrous. It’s one thing to want to keep it short and undramatic, it’s another thing to say it in under 140 characters. If you can’t bear the thought of telling her to her face, try IM-ing her. Nothing says I’m sorry like a sad smiley face followed up by a kissy face. 6 Pregnancy scares Considering Facebook doesn’t have a pregnancy test feature yet, it’s wildly inappropriate to broadcast this online. Your one line sentence will send all your female friends into a panic as they contemplate if their nausea this morning was more than just a hangover. And the worst part is that all your recent hook-ups will have a full-on heart attack — which will ironically let them completely off the hook for child support. 5 Tragic situations Signing onto Facebook for the sole purpose of poking your crush takes a dark turn when you’re invited to join a deeply upsetting group. This is no “Austin blacked out, lost his phone, needs your digits” Facebook group. It’s basically a casual way for a priest to eventually draft a eulogy using Facebook wall posts. Instead of creating a Facebook group that places your friend’s sickness on the same level as a Farmville invite, try making an old-fashioned phone call. 4 Daily schedule Unless your schedule involves something out of the ordinary (shower, work, hook-up with Michelle Obama), no one cares. Sure everyone is super happy that you can function like a normal human being, but no one is going to give you gold stars for managing to complete basic human functions. So unless you would like to openly invite a stalker into your life, quit letting everyone know your second to millisecond schedule. 3 Bodily functions Unless your doctor writes prescriptions based on your Twitter updates, there is no need for this level of over-sharing. No one wants to hear when you have the Pepto Bismol rundown (cue the music: heartburn, nausea, indigestion, diarrhea). Not to mention you lose huge “I’m so sick” credibility when you’re clearly well enough to type a coherent sentence on Twitter. 2 Level of drunkery This would be a wildly cool status if we were still in high school and people still drew penises on your forehead when you were drunk. But, unfortunately you’re an adult now and the people around you expect you to be able to drink without ending the night riding in an ambulance. Have some respect for yourself and use your status to draw attention away from yourself and onto someone else’s drunken behavior. 1 Messages to celebs/athletes/musicians Unless you’re one of Kate Gosselin’s 29 children, it’s highly unlikely she’s reading your Facebook status. In fact, there’s a pretty strong likelihood that she has no idea that you even exist. Instead save your knack for online lecturing to make your friends feel bad about themselves. Nothing makes people engage in a little self reflection like a “Laura, you were a massive bitch last night” status. | ||||||||||||||||
| I am working very hard to speak Hindi :says Jacqueline Fernandez Posted: 16 Jan 2011 04:29 PM PST
The former Sri Lankan beauty queen has a very strong accent and Jacqueline Fernandez admits that she is really trying her level best to get rid of it. And yes, she admits that it’s giving her a very tough time. "You need to learn to speak the language (Hindi) without any accent. I know that I need to speak Hindi like a pro and I am working very hard with it. It’s very difficult to get rid of an accent when you have grown up with it. I am learning Hindi," says Jacqueline, speaking to After Hrs at the Zee Cine Awards in Singapore. She adds that speaking Hindi like a pro will take many years. "It will require years of practice to perfect the diction but I can tell you that I will be giving it my best shot because I need to take that step for the sake of my career," she adds. The actor admits that she is slowly turning up the heat on the big screen because she is playing a seductress in her next movie which is the sequel of Murder. "I know that you have always seen me in cute, girl-next-door type roles and audiences also liked it that way. But I thought that it’s time that I change all that. Getting a little bold on screen is a planned move because I wanted to change the way I am perceived in Bollywood," she adds. The actor says that she will be taking up roles from which she was shying away all this while. "It doesn’t matter what it takes but if I think that the role will suit me or that the audience will like me…I am surely going to take up the role. I am living in the city (Mumbai) for such a long time. There were days when I took a long time to learn. I have now learnt that the faster you learn, the better it is for your career," she ends.
