[...]Anja is deaf. She has profound hearing loss on both ears. She wears hearing aids but they are not enough to make her hear everything. Doctors and audiologists suggest cochlear implants but these are very, very, very expensive. (Mas mura pa bumili ng bagong Honda Civic, pramis.) In the meantime, I've enrolled her at the Southeast Asian Institute for the Deaf where they use total communication or all modes that can be used for communicating- from made up gestures to lip reading to formal signing. (I've noticed, though, that most, if not all, of the students at this school sign, even if they are able to talk.)

"ate kat!Thanks Rica for recommending this!
may papanood nga pala ako sayo. napanood mo na ba 1 litre of tears? naaalala kita habang pinapanood ko un eh... sobrang inspirational ung story, and napaka optimistic."
-Rica
syempre I searched it kagad.. naintriga ako. I watched it. i got hooked. i finished the whole episode lastnight (buti nalang nag-cooperate ang dsl connection ko.. hehe)
1 Litre of Tears
http://www.mysoju.com/1-litre-of-tears/
This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone.
Fifteen year old Ikeuchi Aya was just a normal girl, soon to be high school student and daughter of a family who works at a shop that makes tofu. As time passed, unusual things started happening to Aya lately. She started falling down often and walks in a strange way. Her mother Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?

Let's give them HOPE
"Sometimes we take pens and pencils for granted. But for some unfortunate but beautiful children, these are very special things. These can make life in school a little better, a little easier."
