Well, I just had nothing to do so I decided to browse on of my fave sites to search for something to watch.  I came across this movie and the title definitely caught my attention.  Who would not have taken a second look when they see a title like this?  It must be tragic.  Yet, it is not tragic at all.  In fact, it was very inspiring.

The story is about Aya, diagnosed with a neurological disease spinocerebellar  degeneration.  An incurabledisease that slowly destroys your system until you die.  She was in middle school when she found out yet, she still bravely continued her education until high school.  You will be inspired about the way she dealt with her condition.  She had been an inspiration to everyone around her.  She made a sick man want to live again, inspired everyone in her therapy sessions with her patience and perseverance.

If you will be with her, you would have asked why she got that condition considering how good a person she is.  Yet, if you will see it in a different light, God used her to make us realize how it is to live and how we should face life.   God used her to show us His goodness, for us to appreciate what we have no matter how small or big it is.  To face each failures and trials with a smile for even if we have these burdens on our shoulders, we are still so blessed and there are others who suffer more than we do.

One Liter of Tears did make me cry but not out of pity but out of shame and joy.  I feel ashamed for complaining about a simple headache, a simple wound on the knee, or a small problem I had to solve.  I feel joy for I realized how God loves me and how blessed I am.

I know these lines came from a movie but I just  can’t remember what movie.  I just find it sweet.  If someone really cares for you, they will notice every small detail.  They pay attention coz they want to know what makes you happy and what makes you cry.  And then, they will do everything to make you happy and avoid doing the things that makes you cry.

Do you know that you have 5 different smiles?

You have one smile when you are talking about your friends.

You have one smile when you are feeling uncomfortable.

You have one smile when you are excited and happy.

You have one smile when you wake up contented in the morning.

You have one smile when you look at me.

Last Tuesday, I watched Kung Fu Panda with my friends and today, I watched it with my mom and sister.  I really enjoyed the movie a lot - obviously, that is why I watched it twice.  I can’t stop laughing at Po.  I love pandas and this is definitely the most lovable of all.  He is sooooo funny.

Here are some of my favorite lines in the movie:

“One often meets his destiny in the road he takes to avoid it”

“There are no accidents”

“There’s no secret recipe.  Something becomes special because you think it is special”

“Yesterday is history.  Tomorrow is a mistery.  Today is a gift that is why it is called the PRESENT”

“Master Oogway should have chosen someone who knows Kung Fu.  Or at least someone who can reach his toes…. or at least see his toes?” (not sure about the exact lines though)

Well, all I can say is that it is worth watching twice or perhaps even thrice.   I will definitely accept your invitation to join you in watching this movie again so we can laugh together.
