Started watching １リットルの涙(Ichi Rittoru no Namida) aka One Litre of Tears few days ago. Had always wanted to watch it but never started till few days ago, after I found out from PM that it's based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl, Aya - who suffered from Spinocerebellar Ataxia.

I've always felt that if it's based on real-life experiences, it makes watching it that much more meaningful. Especially when it's an inspiring and touching story like this.

After watching till epi.9, I decided to look for the original diary/novel and instead I found the english translation online. Thanks to some very nice bloggers who spent their time translating the japanese version to english so that more people around the world could read it too.

I've added the links for Ichi Rittoru no Namida (english translation) and Koizora(original ver.) at the side bar under "book worms" so that anyone who's interested can read them. There are differences between the drama series and original novel.

Ahhh..I want the original diary/novel........

After reading several chapters, the diary is quite different from the drama....how come Aya had only 3 other siblings in the drama when she's supposed to have 4???

It's really nice ne....to have a friend like Asou-kun. One of the site for the eng. translation which I've just read, had only 4 chaps and it didn't mention about a close guy friend or anything like that. I wonder if he's a ficticious character. Such a gentle and kind character....

After watching the drama, you'll understand why it's called ,"One Litre of Tears " ...hahaa... because you'll really cry 1 litre of tears when watching it. And may I add, big drops of tears too! Poor pants, getting soaked.....haaha

Ok, back to my drama!

Looks yummy right?

Ichigo(Strawberry) & Kuro Goma(Black sesame) ice cream from Yokomon, Asian Avenue, Pyramid.

The strawberry one looks sooo pretty right??? Due to bad lighting , the black goma doesn't look that nice here.

Love the strawberry one.....thanks to the sauce. Black sesame is nice too....but advisable to be taken in small amounts! haaha....taste like the famous Hokkaido black sesame chocolate to me.

Shall try the dark chocolate one next time!
