Hana Yori Dango :)

Woooooooaaaahhh I didn't sleep again today until 4:30 am at least! It's not like I'd pull an all nighter willingly, knowing that I had to wake up early - like 8 pm! T^T and guess what? My dad (he's a step dad but I want to think of him as my real dad - thinking that he treats the family better than what my biological dad had ever done) has come back from a business trip! :)

The heat is extremelly warm at night these days. I couldn't sleep at all. That is why I decided to read an old scanned manga that I got downloaded when I was still at my boarding school hoping that it would tire my eyes. Hana Yori Dango. I really don't understand why I could easily forget time and space every time I read that series. It kindda hypnotizes me. Scary, to be honest. Just like yesterday or should I say early this morning, reading HYD made me temporarily forget about the problems I was facing. I was magically brought to enter Tsukasa and Tsukushi's world and I could even feel their strugglings to be together against all odds. With him always coming to the rescue of Tsukushi anytime, the character Tsukasa makes me believe that such a guy DOES exist! Or maybe, he makes me wish there was a guy like him: never wavering and remains loyal to the girl he loves and would do anything to be with her. I am totally touched with this character! XD

There are a lot of other things I can learn from this manga. Tsukushi and her family who can still smile after they get poorer and poorer teach me that no matter how deep or how often do you fall, as long as you believe and never give up , there is always a way ahead. Looks like the 'never-give-up' blood is really running in her family. No matter how many times or how far down do they fall, the word 'give up' doesn't exist in their vocabulary. I wished I could have the same blood running on my veins, really. :) Tsukasa's mother Kaede warns me that what you see in the surface might not be the truth. :) Shigeru, Yuuki, Sakurako and Rui teach me that wishing the one you love to be happy even though not with you is a strength that is so much greater than stealing him away. I wonder if I had such strength in me... See? There are so many advices of life you can get by simply reading a manga - a comic book. This is why I am totally into Japanese manga than American manga.

Hah.. reading a manga of 36 volumes in 2 days really wore me out. I finally gave up after dinner while reading 2 volumes of the manga Detective Conan and fell asleep in my sister's room until 11 pm?! I was pretty shocked myself too when Irene woke me up, telling me to sleep in my room. @__@ I wonder if I could fall asleep again? Well.. I hope...
