recently just finished watching "one litre of tears" , a japanese drama based on a true story. It tells the hardshops and sacrifices of a girl named aya since she was diagnosed with a degenarative brain disease called spinocerebellar ataxia at which the disease would affect her balance and speech abilities gradually. The disease causes the person to lose control over their body, but because the person can retain all mental ability the disease acts as a prison. Aya discovers this disastrous news as the disease has already developed. There is no cure.

It was very sad especially for the fact that she got the disease at a very young age. But she had a fighting spirit and never gave up so she continued to write a diary until the day she could no longer hold a pen. She died 10 yrs after the diagnosis of her disease.in 1988.at the age of 25. her idary was published a few years before her death, its entitled "i rittoru no namida" whcih means one litre of tears.a diary whioch aya named it herself. heres the cover of the book..

dunno why..but i feel that the cover reflects the mood of the writer...a schoolgirl who sees a bright future ahead of her..but in the end have to surrender to god's fate and live in a realm of sadness and blues..

heres the ost of the drama..love it..so nice...actually it remindds me of one of aliff aziz's song. could this be the original version of it?






"live life without regrets" was what my bro said..which i think is true :)
