3 weeks into 2007

If you're in need of crying like mad, I have a solution for you. Watch the Japanese Drama called "1 Litre of Tears" and you're guaranteed to produce a litre of tears (possibly more...) along the series. The story is so touching especially since it's based on a true story. Not only that, it's also inspiring.

The drama is based on the diary of Aya Kitou, who had Spinocerebellar Atrophy starting at a very young age. The disease caused her to lose control over her body but not her mental ability. A very cruel disease... Yet Aya struggled bravely through the end, writing until she can no longer hold a pen and in the end inspired a lot of readers after her writings were published.

So, if you think like you wanted to die, watch this series before continuing the thought.
If you think you're unfortunate, and yet you're reading this on a computer, watch this series and think again.
If you're procrastinating, watch this series and be grateful that you're being lazy out of your own will and not because there's no other choice for you.

On a lighter note, I need to remind myself next time, NOT to do laundry on a Saturday... I started at around 11 am, and finished at 7 pm!! Apparently Saturday is everybody's laundry day.
