Slug

Last week my sister told me that I was a slug since I do not exercise often. Then she amended to say that I am worse than a slug since slugs atleast roll around when you poke them. And then she proceeded to poke me a few times to see my reacton :S She made me go running with her yesterday. I figured that since she is a hard core runner, I would just slow her down so I would try to run by myself. She reasoned that since I am a slug unless she forces me to go by running along side me then I would not move. So yesterday she meakes me go running with her in the cold AND it was raining. We ran/walked for about 30 minutes and I thought I was going to die after, I was so out of shape. When I woke up this morning, I could barely feel my legs :( I also realised that when I was walking around it was a weird type of walk, kinda penguin-esque with a limp :( Apparently I am supposed to go with her again tomorrow. Help me. :S

Nothing can compare...

So recently, I just finished watching a drama called Orange Days, which is supposed to be a really good drama that everyone loves and cries at. Maybe I am dead inside like my sister says, but I didn't cry at all or even have sympathy for the main girl. The premise is that she is a very good musician and has some illness that makes her lose her hearing and go deaf. She meets the main guy, who is about to graduate university but doesn't know what he wants to do with his life (sounds very familiar :S). Basically he is a super nice guy that tries to be her friend but since she is deaf she invents all these reasons why they can't be together, blah blah blah. This drama took me FOREVER to get through, which is 4-5 days for me. However, I am a jobless bum so its not like I don't have the time to watch it. If a drama is really good, I can watch it all in about 1 to 1.5 days. This one, not so much. The whole time I was watching it I kept thinking back to the main character of 1L of Tears. I think she's ruined me for all types of drama that people have diseases in. Seriously the main girl of Orange Days made me so mad... The whole time I kept thinking: You're deaf and you're SO bitchy and mean to everyone around you but the 1L of tears girl is suffering from an incurable disease where she slowly loses her ability to do anything yet she is so GREAT to those around her and doesn't lose hope and wants to change the world. The main actor was good though :)

Reminded of how great Ichi Rittoru no Namida really is...

A while back, I watched an amazing drama called Ichi Rittoru no Namida or 1 Litre of Tears as it is called in english. At first when I saw a synopsis of the drama... I was like 1L of Tears...what they hell, they just like asking for something sad and depressing. After that I showed Roberta, laughed at it and then forgot about it. Until Roberta's "shallow" facsination of Nishikido Ryo happened, a Johnny's Entertainment actor (a talent agency known for pretty boys that can't really sing or dance that do both). Then we proceeded to download this drama and watch it. It quickly became our favorite drama and to this date, no other drama has been able to surpass it for me. I even got members of my family (who are extreme japanese drama adverse) to watch it with varying degrees of interest. Watching this drama makes me want to live life :) This drama is based on a true story of a real girl with the same disease and her diary has actually been published into a book which I've read a bit of. It's really touching.

My cousin watched it and told me that he can't stop thinking about it and the main female character in the drama. He said it was so touched and he even teared up a little... maybe not 1L but close ;) Though something he said really cracked me up:
"i really need to start another drama to forget about the girl. "
