LOL. Have you guys ever heard that song? Sad Movies? I like that song, not only because I found the lyrics of the song hilarious and sad at the same time, but also because Sad Movies really do make me cry…
OK, some of you guys who were lucky enough to witness my pride, ego, and my "ke-jaim-an" collapsed *yeah rite… LOL* when I cried more than the main characters in the movie cried, during my Character Building class on our 2nd year at uni… It’s embarrassing!! and out of all the odds, I was sitting beside the gamer boy, the un-sophisticated gamer boy *LOL*, not sitting in my usual spot with my gf, Rina. So, the aftermath of the crying was massive!! Everyone in the class found out, cuz the stupid gamer boy was laughing like a cow… If it was Rina who was sitting beside me, she would have cried to, I won’t be the only one, and we would quietly go to the rest room and fix ourselves up… LOL… So anyway, that’s my first experience of crying in front of the public *LOL*, it wasn’t even in a cinema, it was in a classroom… LOL … Well, anyway, I’m only human, and I’ve read it somewhere, every once in a while when you feel like crying, don’t hold it down, cuz it may give you a boil .. LOL. Sounds hilarious, but that was my perfect excuse, The movie was so sad, and if I didn’t cry I’ll have a boil. LOL
I always cried easily when I watch sad movies… that’s one of the reason why I love comedy so much… apart from I really love to laugh… So anyway, now I prefer not to watch bolywood movies **the truth is, I love watching bolywood movies, only the good ones of course** cuz it always make me cry ’til I sob, and when you’re sobbing, you can’t hide your crying from people around you. LOL. I also don’t like to watch sad dorama (japanese drama), korean, and chinese drama. Cuz the sad prefix here means SAD, they really drain my happiness out, and all that is left for me is a torned pride, and swollen eyes. The swollen eyes thingy, that doesn’t happen very often, so when my eyes were swollen because I cried when watching a movie, it means the movie really, really, really is SAD.. LOL.
Well, anyway, I’ve told myself not to watch, and not to be interested in any sad japanese/chinese/korean drama again. That’s why I always ask my friends when they recommend some asian drama to me, "is it funny? is it a comedy or some story about torned family, abandoned child, and incurable sickness?" I want comedy, I don’t want no sad dramas… And on my last holiday, I violate the no-sad-drama rule T_T … that’s because of me, being addicted to asian drama after watching Ms. Kim’s Million Dollar Quest **Recommended!! Very funny, hilarious drama, I love it**, Hana Yori Dango, and Gokusen series … I’m yearning for more.. so yeah, I browse the asian drama forum, and got some recommendations there and I dl-ed the dramas that were recommended, one of them is Ichi Ritoru No Namida or 1 Liter of Tears …… How cool was that!? You can predict the storyline and what’s going to happen to me from the title of the drama…
To cut the story short, I went back home to Indonesia for holiday, and I bring along all those dramas with me, I also bring along my new Nintendo DS lite **this gadget plays a big role in the later part of the story, so I’m not a show off. what can you show off from a nintendo ds anyway**
I spend most my holiday time playing the nintendo, watch anime, and…. those dramas. So, my eyes was always glued to the screen.. On one boring nite, when I’ve just got so bored with my nintendo **my mom have been yelling about stop playing nintendo, it’s bad for ur eyes** , run out of anime, and run out of funny dramas, I decided to watch that 1 Litre of Tears … Wrong, WRONG decision here… LOL
So it was 1 a.m. in the morning when I started watching it. It has 9 episodes if I’m not wrong… ok maybe 10 or 11. LOL. The point is, the main character’s disease is discovered early. Too early… It was discovered on the first episode *what the… LOL..* , and she and her family was struggling with the disease til the last episode. It’s an incurable sickness, so you can pretty much predict the ending.. and they also have this cute and hopelessly romantic guy as the main character’s love interest….. ARGHHHHH …. I started crying from the 2nd episode, but it’s only minor crying… LOL … So the first day, I only watched 4 episode… So far, safe!! Nobody in my home discovered that I was watching a drama the whole morning, and was crying while watching them.. The next day, I decided to finish it off real quick, so started watching the drama at 10.30 pm and I started crying as soon as the 5th episode started *LOL* , it was soooo sad that by the end of the drama, and I have this empty pack of Kleenex, with a pile of wet tissues in my desk *I know it’s gross* But the most interesting part is, I cried so much I sobbed, and on top of all, I was thirsty, and my head hurts… This was the very first time in my life where I cry until all the fluids in my body was drained, and my head aching … HUahuahuhaua…. and my eyes… they’re totally swollen … **still bigger than Makoto’s eyes though … LOL**
I did everything I could to tackle the swollen eye, I wash my face, wash it with iced water, put some ice on it…. I wish I could stay awake a few more hours, let the swollen reduced a bit, and then sleep, cuz when your eyes’re swollen and you sleep, it will get worse when you wake up!!! It will be there permanently for the rest of the day!! But it’s already 5.30 in the morning when I finished watching the drama, and my mom will get up soon… So, no choice I had to sleep…
When I woke up… It’s nightmare… My eyes were swollen, so bad that my mom even noticed it when I was still asleep, she woke me up cuz my eyes was swollen. SHe said it’s because I slept too much… **it’s not too much mom, I’ve just fell asleep a few hours ago** LOLZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz That was one of the most hilarious moment of my life… I have to act as if I don’t know what happen with my eyes, put a poker face on, maintain my innocence, pretend to be surprised, and at the same time trying not to laugh… LOL … Later on, one of my dad’s employees spotted my swollen eyes and said "Let me see your eyes. OMG, you cried last nite, rite??" I went, "Oh noooooo…. I’m busted!!" . But our housemaid saved my life, she said "Nooo, she didn’t. She just sleep too much".. LOL.. I love my housemaid… HOhohohoho.
Later on, my mom decided that my eyes got swollen not just because I slept too much, but also because I overwork my eyes, have my eyes glued on the nintendo’s screen, and to the computer monitor, so I injured some of the nerves around my eyes, and they became swollen …. LOLzzz Sorry mom… I didn’t lie to her ok. I just don’t say anything, cuz she didn’t ask me anything. She’s the one who decided that I slept too much, my eyes got swollen, and later on accused Nintendo and the computer as the culprit, without giving me the chance to say anything. Well, I prefered not to say anything though. I didn’t lie, I just didn’t say anything … So she banned me from playing nintendo and using my computer for 2 days … Fair enough, I’d rather not play nintendo and computer for 2 days rather than being laughed by my mom, dad, and sis for crying when watching a drama…
Well, sorry mom, maybe I’ll tell you the real story next year…… And my excuse will be, 1 Liter of Tears is based on True Story, they even have the real picture of the girl who’se life inspired the drama at the end of each episode, and have quotes from the book she wrote during her struggling with the disease… Anyway, anybody knows whether they have a translated version of the book? and where to buy it??
