of sobbing through the night and waking up with puffy eyes

i have an evil sister. i dunno what's on her mind when she recommended this japanese drama series to me.. it's worse than 祖孙情! she said, i should have heeded her hint and maybe not watched this series on a weekday.

１リットルの涙 is the name of the show. or one litre of tears. i believe there are 2 reasons why it's called this. one has of course got to do with the story-line which i will not further explain right here right now and probably not in the future either. the other one i think it's cos this series causes viewers to cry buckets of tears! i cried for 10 out of the 11 episodes, and teared for the 1. i am suddenly reminded of my aunt when she watches 琼瑶 shows...

so i couldnt stop watching last night, finished 10 episodes of the sob opera in 7.5 hours.. hugging whalie in one arm and holding a piece of tissue in the other (changing it everytime it got too wet from my tears). it's a really really sad show, other than the occasional stereotypical japanese comedy, it was just heart wrenching and tears inducing...

the first show that made me cry like that was 祖孙情 as mentioned before.. i watched that movie think 4 times at least and cried everytime 林志颖's grandpa read his composition. i remember watching that show for the first time, alone and cried like crazy. the 2nd time was with my dad and jianing who watched me cry and laughed at me for crying that hysterically. The 3rd and 4th time were with jianing, and both times, we had a tissue box placed between us and sobbed like crazy when that scene appeared.. i think we tried to make sure that we din watch that show late at night, but somehow we still did.. and of course u noe what we woke up with!

the second show that made me cry like that was 秋天的童话, a korean drama series i watched with jianing and sobbed through the first 4 episodes together.. i think 祖孙情 opened jianing's tap.. the rest of the show pretty much sucked.. i think it's cos of this show that i disliked all korean drama series, though i think i want to watch 大长今.. ok this is a little out of point.. ;P

after sobbing for 7.5 hours, i cant help but wonder what it would be like if i watched this series with jianing. i bet we'll still cry through all 7.5 hours, but we'll be definitely laughing at each other in between our tears.. and it would be kind of a sadistic fun! ah i miss that girl! only she would "highly recommend" such a sob opera to torture her dearest sister!

anw, i only slept at 5.45am this morning and woke up at 7.30am.. i have puffy eyes, a nasal voice and a slight headache.. haha why did i put myself through this? i dunno, but in a weird way, it was worth it! despite all the crying, the story and characters are pretty motivating.. i would recommend you to watch the show, but definitely not late at night, nor with people you are not comfy crying in front of..

man, jianing i cannot believe that you were willing to watch this show with me again! mabbe i'll watch it a second time, but at least after a half-year break! heh =) *hugs* i miss you!
