The madness is over...
(Tuesday, November 17, 2009/12:14 AM)
Somehow, I managed to survive the madness of camping in school for 26 hours straight... And it's not just the usual project meeting in comfortable study areas with air-con. I had to bear with the scorching sun when I shot the outdoor scenes for my filming assignment. I'm red like a lobster and the sunburn patches sting like crazy. ARGHHH!!! (>.<)
I've become a little complacent recently cos' I thought I had the luxury of time to spare since I only have 2 exams coming up. Then, I realized... there's only 4 solid days for studying left, and I'm lagging so badly in my revision. Gosh, I've to start up my engine in full force again!
Recently, I had some time to destress a little, and out of boredom, I went to TS, scouting for a nice Japanese drama series for entertainment during study breaks. I had the choice of a typical corny romance or the wacky detective theme (which I absolutely love, if I don't wish to exercise my brain too much :P), but in the end, I chose...
Entitled "LIFE", it's a 2007 high school drama. Nope, it's not the usual high school drama which gives you a 'feel-good' feeling which makes you reminisce the adolescent naive childhood days, but it delves into the dark side of human relationships, as young as high-schoolers.
Taboo topics are the main focus here, especially bullying. It's not just any childish name-calling, but it is SERIOUS bullying (more than often not, it involves violence and psychological manipulation). The drama makes you think about life deeper in detail as it deals with issues such as jealousy, peer pressure, conformity etc.
However, beyond all these, the drama speaks of true friendship, standing up for your beliefs (despite getting shunned by people around you), emerging stronger from adversity. It's depressing to sit through the first few episodes cos' the drama depicts suicide, rape, bullying. But thankfully, the message picks up after Episode 4, where the protagonist makes a firm decision to resist as she forges genuine friendships with new comrades.
2009 has been a year of trials and tribulations for me. The outcomes may not have been desirable, but I pray at the end of it all, I can proudly say I've come out wiser and stronger than before. There's no room for regrets. Not cos' I'm full of ego to say that I've done right, but just for the simple reason that we, as humans especially Christians, have to be forward-looking. 2010 is a year which will propel me into my destiny and I'm not gonna let anyone or anything hinder my progress.
It's amazing how a simple J-dorama can speak into my heart, huh? If anybody wishes to borrow it, I'll be willing. =)
I'm gonna be so broke soon cos' I have a BURNING DESIRE to buy a new laptop and mobile phone. =S
