1 Litre no Namida

When Purple (plus soooo many emails sent to yahoo groups) highly recommended this Japanese drama to me, I didn’t take him seriously. Why should I?

I remember he always checked me if I have watched it. Though I’m a drama junkie since cant remember when, I wasn’t that interested to watch this. Until last week when I was fixing my room, I found the CD that he gave me months ago. Then last Monday, while having a meeting with my Chapter 1 upper household, Tonio (and almost all of them) shared their experiences while watching this TV series. I got amazed! My superb macho partner Tonio cried too while watching this? Unbelievable. As a result, I watched the drama to see what the hype all about.

Hence, my eyes went swollen due to excessive crying. I cried for 2 hours straight, finishing packets of tissue (argh diba! Singhot talaga to the max with matching galaw-balikat pa) Uncontrollable. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. Now I realized why sooooo many people cried. It’s just so heart wrenching. My heart ached…(that’s why I rested for awhile and wrote this blog)…

I shed almost 1 litre of tears too just for the two episodes… what more if I finish the 11? but its only 1:11am… I can still watch more episodes… J lemme see… I will let u know soon… J

Thanks purple for the suggestion… thanks mamu chris for the sneak preview last night.

Indeed, life sometimes turned out to be completely different from what we want.
