One Litre of Tear, live your life to its fullest!

The title in English may sound weird, but trust me it is one of those types of drama that move your heart and make you shed tear for the rest of the night, non less dramatic than Titanic. This inspiring true-story based drama is about a young girl who was struggling with an incurable illness who determined to make the fullest of her life, short as it may.

At 15, she was diagnosed with a deadly syndrome that causes a dysfunction in some part of the brain. As the disease intensifies, victim with this disease will not be able to move or speak until heaven takes away their lives. Such a scary one, isn't it? However, Aya, the girl in the drama, fearlessly fought it with all her might, never give up to make her life anything meaningless. To encourage others who were confronting the same problems, she began writing column about her struggle with this disease, how it was not the end of everything. Yes, not only was she a strong girl, she was also the one who always saw life at the bright side in whatsoever circumstance. Her column was so touching that it gave hopes and comfort to many other victims with life-threatening diseases.

When I watched that drama, I kept asking myself "if this happen to me, would I be able to stand up and do the the same?" Well, I might not be amazing a person like Aya, but at least I am now able to appreciate every single breath I am having now. Thanks to One Litre of Tear, I understand that we never know what will happen to us in the future, but we do know what presence is like, so we should just take full advantage of it by cherishing every single minute we are spending with people around us. This way, the world will be a more beautiful place to live in.

***On a different note: maybe we should listen more to Kris Allen's song "Live like we're dying" instead of Lil Wayne "Shot".Anyway, I also add a link to a video clip of the drama as well, enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xde8sQfoL9M
