From the real story of "1liter of tears"

This dorama is about a girl who was diagnosed with a disease called “Spinocerebellar Degeneration” when she was 15 years old, and was able to continue her life until her death at the age of 25 years old.

The plot is based on the true story of a Japanese girl named Kito Aya, who had the same disease. She kept writing in her diary to remember her experiences until she could no longer hold a pen. Aya simply wished to live until the end of her life, and the purpose of writing in the diary was to remind herself to not give up. She shed tears many times, at the same time encompassed by the rich love and support from her family, friends, and boyfriend. Her diary “1 Litre of Tears” was published after her death, because of its inspiring and courageous message of

“Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing.”

Aya Kito true story reminds me of a sister of mine. A story that bring tears to me as I am hardly cried so easily. This story has some connection to my childhood past, where my decease sister had some kind of illness, maybe quite the same as Aya san. Unlike Aya she usually had various episode of her collapse some kind of convulsions.  We had to be extra vigilance when she standing or in bathroom because when she had her episode she fall hard. Her head usually received so many concussion because of the fall, and it usually bleeds. The scene make me terrified to watch. Her tooth would bite her lips and tongue so its bleeds, we had to hold her mouth with cloth so it won't bite. I would help my mother to wash her blood although I feel a bit unease of it. Once she had collapse in a bathroom and her head hits hard on the floor. It was a first time we had to send her to hospital. She saved and the doctor want to keep her for a little longer for more researched on her illness, but the family strongly insist to take her home what so ever. She had this disease since she was small and its keep worsen when she was 12 years old. Back at school she was a good friend, intelligent, pretty and love to sing, but everything was gone after her disease had worsen. Some of her friend tried to contact her, but my family didn't allow them because she had no longer remember them, she had to quit from school. She had no longer remember people, unable to speak rationally, she can be very silence and sometimes she can be delirium, where she seems in a different world, she would talk to herself and walk unnecessarily. Her condition continue to be like this for many years until a few years before her death she became gradually very thin, very white, and very sick, where she just laying on bed. My family had done many things to cure her especially in traditional method but it never worked. After a years my father had past away, she then followed the same path when she in her 30's. No one can explain what illness that she suffered, but I'am sure that she's in peace in heaven. Aya's story is really inspiring especially to others that have similar situation. The burden also felt to the family of the patient, but Aya never given up hopes to live and dreams.One similar thing is when Aya smile she showed her broken front teeth, my sister had the same broken teeth in front, its happened after she falls and made her teeth broken like that. The story touched me so much where it is very similar to my story. Aya is very fortunate because her voice can reach the world. I've learned so much through every experience and it keeps me strong too.

     

Omedeto kudasai to Dato' Lee Chong Wei

Congratulation to Chong Wei for his glory winning against Lin Dan, and congrats to Malaysia too and his coach Rashid Sidek. I'm happy that finally Chong Wei won against Lin Dan. But Lin Dan please don't cry, you still cute. In my opinion the match is more personally than nationally. Its a battle between two great man. Actually they are good friend outside the match. Lin Dan failed to gain his title for 5th times and instead Chong Wei get his second winning in All England man single. Luv both Chong Wei and Lin Dan.

  

     

Ganbate' Dato' Lee Chong Wei

Ganbate Dato' Lee Chong Wei, hope you will win the All England 2011 for single man in badminton against Lin Dan tonight. Although I found that Lin Dan is cute, but I will always hope for Malaysia to win this time. I wonder why on earth Dato' Lee can't win agaist Lin Dan although he can win other players. I think its a matter of his mentality, whether he feel confident or not. For physical aspect I think Chong Wei can beat Lin Dan for good. He has the stamina and speed also very he has flexible movement that Lin Dan don't have. Lin Dan in other hand, is good playing with net and usually give him an added advantage....

Plez, plez help Chong Wei win, I don't want to be frustrated anymore, ganbatte kudasai...;) and now I want to enjoy the match, oyasumi nasai..(p.s: Chong Wei still no1 and Lin Dan is very cute)

Modern city collapse

What had happened in Japan last Friday is very tragic, imagine such a modern country like Japan immobilize by a giant tsunami. Nature is our biggest fear nowadays, it might struck anytime and anywhere whether you've got such a high technology equipment or not. Anyway, Japan had rises after the disaster, its like a sun has risen once more. People that survive the disaster will be even braver, because they had long been taught how to handled such disaster. How can we handled it if we are in their place? I hope that it will not had happened. Their economic sector not only effected the nation but the world economic too. Besides huge lost in oil refinery, and nuclear plant melt down. I hope it won't never be like Chernobyl incident, where the worst nuclear incident ever happened in human history. Enough with the tsunami disaster, people are now struggling to find food, clean water    and place to stay in because of most of the houses had wash away. What had left is thousand of debris. Now help has come from all around the world, hope there are enough relief for the time being. I hope that I am among the rescuer.

The tragedy had remind me of Banda Aceh and other countries that had involved with tsunami disaster in 2004. The impact of earth quake can be felt near us, it can be felt in such long distance. We had wonder how can they survive this tragedy, and they did. Again all the condolences to the victim in the disaster, and for the survivor hope you all will be strong, I hope that I can contribute something to help them....maybe prayers will help too

when I was a kid...(cont)

                                                                                           Rainy days bring peace to me, especially when my mother cooked yam, or cassava eaten with shredded coconut and sugar. It is best having it while hot during rainy day with the rest of our family. Looking for rainbow after the rain is also wonderful. I always happy if a rainbow appear after the rain, and count every color formation to make sure its complete. I would always wait until its disappear gradually.

At that time, my family usually go to beaches,we had fun together and usually would do picnic too. I think the most of my childhood moment is playing at the beaches or river or sunway lagoon. I often went to sunway lagoon with my family, and it was really crazy. I think that I've travel most of the time rather than studying, I thought. But now things have change, its hardly to get swim at the beaches or any where. I'm a bit old to do that anymore, children nowadays not having fun just as we are before. They just staying indoors playing games and internet.In my opinion, there would be not much of memories if just stay at home playing internet only. I think that people are less connected to the nature day by day, I really miss all the things that happened at that time.

Time won't come back to us, just the memory that will be at your heart, appreciate what left with you, every moment that you live is priceless, cause you don't know when you lose it. I've lost not only the moment but also my father and sister too. It never be the same again after you lost the person that is important to you. It feel different, like a piece of your heart has lost.

when I was a kid...

When I sit under a rambutan tree in my front yard, the memories of my childhood came to me,I really miss my childhood moment...It usually bring good memories and joys to me, I was never worried about anything, just enjoy the moment with family and friend. I was happy when its rainy because we can catch fish swimming in the drain that came from a pond, usually its catfish. From the heavy rain, a clear water puddles can be seen all around my home yard. I like to play it with my feet because it is cold and clear. The smell of wet earth, leaf was so refreshing....to be continue
