Episode 1 of 1 Litre No Namida

Just watch episode 1 of "1 Litre of Tears"

Base on a true story where a typical girl (which in this show is named Aya) entering high school was diagnosed with a special illness, Ataxia or Cerebellar/Spinocerebellar Degeneration.

Everything about her seems normal but Aya has been experiencing many accidents lately in which she accidentally drops tofu while helping out her dad, has trouble picking things up with chopsticks, has blurry view of words, or trips and falls sometimes. One day while setting off for school she had a terrible fall on the street just outside her house and she hurt her chin badly. Her mum quickly took her to a hospital to have the wound treated when she notice her palm wasn't hurt. Normally when we all had a fall we would use our hands to cushion the fall but on her case she did not. Sensing something was definately not right the mother decided to get Aya for a checkup with a Neurologist. Then everything unfolds slowly as Aya penned down what she feel everyday . . . knowing well that her body degenerates with time and nothing could be done.

At the end of episode 1 there were real pictures of "Aya" when she was still well and slowly wheel chair bound.

Quite sad . . . could almost feel the sad part already just by watching episode 1 . . . to see yourself degenerate slowly not being able to speak and move . . . is the worst thing that can happen . . . its like being alive and not being able to do anything but lie on the bed . . . vegetative state . . .

So thats about it . . . i booked my driving lessons already and they start in April and by May i will finish because i took classes everyday so i hope i can get afternoon shift work . . .

Been enjoying life at home ^^ so not really boring actually since i can do so much things . . . though i want to go out sometimes but most of the folks are in army or school . . . so as usual weekend outings only ^^
