i can't believe i still cry too easily.i watched this japanese movie, Koizora [Sky of Love] yesterday. i wasn't really supposed to watch it since it was under the "drama" genre. but one of my favorite japanese actors played a lead role so... well... i thought that nothing can go wrong by watching drama once in a while.well. nothing can go wrong, actually.you just sort of... cry while watching.the plot itself wasn't anything complicated. it was fairly simple, actually. it was about two young lovers trying to stay together with all the hardships thrown to them by the world. or by fate. or, well, you get the point.that, in itself, wasn't anything to cry for. i know.but it wasn't the plot itself that made this movie a "tearjerker".it was those peculiar, trivial, tiny, seemingly unimportant little twists along the way that just grips your heart a teeny bit.well, as for me, anything that has to do with sacrifices and all that makes me cry.my mom's expression when she saw me sitting in front of my pc, brushing off the tears flowing from my eyes was just priceless.she was like, "what did that massive pile of electronic system and metals do to my daughter?"if it was any other time, i would have laughed out loud.but, no. i looked at my mom and i went, "mama... nakakainis. nauubos na yung luha ko dito. kainis naman."i know you're laughing, whoever you are. well, come to think of it, it was sort of funny. really. when my sister came home that evening, she said something about my eyes being a bit swollen.oh wow. how uncool.so i told her what happened. i told her the story. with full details.and, yeah, she sort of cried as well. actually, while i'm typing this entry, she's watching Koizora.and i reckon that the smudge of water on her cheek isn't just sweat.geez. after reading so many dark and disturbing manga, now i'm watching japanese drama?well, what can i say? it's basically the same as listening to japanese pop songs everyday for the entire fortnight and then suddenly switching to german punk rock without even a hint of transition.or it's like having a really long hair ever since your childhood days and then suddenly chopping it all off just for the sake of chopping it all off.or maybe it's like hating vegetables your entire life and then suddenly wanting to be a vegetarian.or probably something like having phobia with high places and then suddenly wanting to go skydive...or something like that. you get the point, don't you?most people wouldn't even dream of doing something out of their routine... something out of the ordinary... something risky and impulsive... something that screams "WAY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE!"...well, what can i say?i'm not most people anyway.xoxo
