When my mother was dying, I spent my time researching on the best doctor there is than being with her. Before I realize it, it was too late. She's gone...
As I'm watching Smallville and getting emotional, the above statement of Lex Luthor got me. I know it's really painful to lose someone you love. It hurts more to know that there's nothing you can do to save the person's life. You just sit down and cry and as emotions are pouring in, you start to get mad. Sometimes we are so preoccupied with thoughts of saving the life of the person we deeply cared about that we forget we are running out of time. I want to quote Ryan in his death bed(the boy that Clark saved) saying:
It's too loud in here. I want to go somewhere quiet. I want to be with my friends.
The part where Clark and Ryan flew made me cry. I guess the thing that holds my tears, whatever it is, is extremely shallow. I really can't help it. I hate the thought of losing someone. I don't want to be hurt. I don't want to let go.

SummaryHirose Michi, a 26 year old teacher dissatisfied with her life, but unable to change it's direction toward a loveless marriage and a less then satisfying career. Everything changes when she meets and bonds with Kurasawa Hikaru, a 17 year old transfer student with his own problems, which mirror her own. Mutual attractions lead to attachment and finally, love. This leads to a situation where they must contend with a society that is not accepting such an unusual relationship. The remainder of the series follows their trials and tribulations leading to a bittersweet, yet hopeful finale.
Comment
Forbidden Love is a story of true, deep and lasting love where the only crime is that Hikaru was born 9 years too late. This series taught me that we should not be paranoid with what people will think if we do this or do that. If it does not conform to their standard so what, at least we're happy right?! We are our own person and capable of making ourselves happy so we should not let other ruin it by dictating us what to do.I really love this series and I hope that everyone could watch it. This drama moved me unexpectedly. It almost made me cry. I like the role of Takky here as compared to his role on Strawberry on Shortcake. He was adorable in this series since he knows what he wants and he didn't let anyone get on his way. I heard from a friend that ABS-CBN will be showing Forbidden Love soon. Let's just keep our fingers crossed ok?!Labels: japan, jdorama, love, tv drama

Summary
At some point, Manato Irie (Hideaki Takizawa) began to withdraw himself from the world. Even when picked on, it's not the real Irie, but an act. However one day he meets a strange girl - Yui Misawa (Kyoko Fukada). Yui, who finds the tedium of everyday life unbearable, teases Manato with her almost too upfront and honest manner. Alone and afraid Manato wavers but finds himself drawn to her. But his feelings for Yui are doomed to be unrequited.
Comment
This is my first Japanese series and I'm not disappointed with it. As a matter of fact, I like it. It was an excellent piece of drama with good acting, strong script, and the extra-a message to send as well. The story is heartwarming, thought-provoking, and meaningful. It will lead you to think further and makes you reflect upon yourself. The actors were fitting for their role and they did a great job.
This series makes me reflect if I really know myself that well. Until now, I'm not sure yet of what the strawberry on the shortcake depicts. Ok let's put it this way:
If you were to eat your strawberry shortcake, will you eat the strawberry first or you'll save it and eat it last?
Well in my case, I will eat the shortcake first and save the strawberry for the last bite. Maybe this means that I'm like Sawamura and Manato after all and maybe this is also the reason why I didn't like Takizawa Hideaki in his role in this series.Labels: japan, jdorama, love, tv drama
