1 Litre Of Tears Review

Yeah...Been a while, huh? I know I said I would try to update more often but I failed at that... OTL. Anyways~ let's just get onto the review of this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Japanese drama series.

1 Litre of Tears-  "This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled. Fifteen year old Ikeuchi Aya was just a normal girl, soon to be high school student and daughter of a family who works at a shop that makes tofu. As time passed, unusual things started happening to Aya lately. She started falling down often and walks in a strange way. Her mother Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?" (summary from Dramacrazy.net)

A year or so ago, I watched the movie version of it and, though it was good, I never really loved it. Yesterday, I sat down and watched episodes one through eight, which I finished around midnight. I originally wanted to finish all of the episodes in one day, but sadly, my fever kicked back into gear so I had to go to sleep. As soon as I woke up this morning, I watched the last three episodes(There is only eleven episodes and a special, which I haven't watched yet.) I just finished episode eleven a few minutes ago and I can proudly say, this drama is the FIRST of any kind of drama, movie, anime, manga, ect. to make me cry--Three times at that. In my opinion, the beginning was slow and the story line really began to pick up around episode five or so.

In all honesty, the tv series of this story is by far much more amazing than the movie, which really doesn't do Aya-san justice. In the drama, Aya-san has a love interest who actually stays by her side through her disease, which I feel was a really nice touch since it added A LOT more sadness and drama to the story.

The love interest, whose name is Asou Haruto, is the son of a doctor at the hospital Aya-san goes to for regular check-ups. In the beginning, Haruto's father wants him to become a doctor, like his late older brother was to become, but in all actuality, he is a guy who cares more about animals than humans. Well, until he meets Aya-san who really makes him rethink his values and beliefs. After a few years of the two knowing each other, Haruto decides he wants to become a doctor, in order to help people(mainly Aya-san.)

In short, this story was facking sad. An over all review is down below~:

Did it hold up to it's name?

I feel it did, since most people who have watched it say it is one of the saddest dramas around right now and when it first came out. If it made me, who is pretty much a heartless monster, cry...then yeah...

Would you recommend this story to others?

Without a doubt. The episodes are only about forty-five minutes or so long and it's only eleven episodes so if you have some bored, spare time, please watch it. This story really gave me a different outlook on life and really makes me think about wanting to become a doctor to help people who are like Aya-san.

-Kito Aya-san was diagnosed at the age of 15, and finally lost the battle ten years later, at the age of 25-

It's been a while

Yo! It seriously has been a long time since I've updated, mainly because I've just had no drive to update my blog, but hopefully that will change soon.

I've started my second year of high school this August and I'm actually doing good in my math class, which I seem to always have an F in, even if my current grade is just a D.

This passed week was my school's homecoming, so we were able to dress up every day and on Tuesday, which was twin day, Eri and I dressed as TOTAL swaggots(swag-fags)

(Our shirts say "SWAGZ FO RIFE! YORO" and I have Batman boxers, not Batman sweatpants, they just blend in together.)
We had our sweat pants sagging the entire day, had our hats on, and constantly said "SWAG!" and "YOLO!" When we walked next to each other, we walked with fail swag. During my Latin class, my teacher was walking around the class to check if we had done our vocab, which I hadn't done, so when she got to me I said, "I didn't do it...YOLO!" and everyone around me laughed.

Wednesday, I went rolling with Eri and her brother and his friends. For those of you who don't know, the Wednesday of a high school's homecoming in Louisiana is called "White Wednesday". which is where students go around and roll other students' houses with toilet paper, shaving cream their drive ways, and some people even saran wrap others' cars O.O But I had serious fun that day.

Well, until I came home and my mom and sister told me Jasper had been dead since last Wednesday, when he went missing. I didn't let myself cry in front of them, so I broke down and cried in my room and continued to cry until about midnight. Thursday, my mom knew how I felt so she only made me go for two hours and check out with my sister. When I had gotten to school, I broke down once more to my friends and a friend, Alison, was hugging me, which made me cry even harder. FACK. Why am I such a little bitch? Well whatever. To end this post, I'll put some recent pictures of myself with my beloved purple wig.

 Bunny ear headband~. I love my new photo editor :D

 Jasper looks so manly with his pink bow...

I'm totally going to miss this useless cat... Bye-bye~.
