Anyway...
Before I've got addicted to manga and anime, I was into watching Chinese movies and drama series. And since my mom had a subscription plan with the video store, we had an endless supply of them. <==*watched too much TV*
My favorite type was martial arts drama series , but most of them were either comedy or sad drama. Only my mom and I watched the emotional ones.
Back then, homework assignments were light. I could have them all finished in an hour or two. That meant every day was 'watching drama' day!
3-4 hours a day on weekdays
6-10 hours a day on weekends
Boy, those were the days! Pure couch potato!
So... when we were watching a sad, emotionally-charged drama series , there would always be a BIG box of tissue on the table and a small garbage bag. What was the scenario?
watching ==> cried ==> wiped eyes & blew nose
eating ==> cried ==> wiped eyes & blew nose
drinking ==> cried ==> wiped eyes & blew nose
snacking==> cried ==> wiped eyes & blew nose
I mean, it got so bad that when we stopped watching for the day, I ended up having a bad headache and got all dizzy from all that crying!
Ugh... I needed to lie down... BUT, didn't I just got up from the couch?!? Ugh... what a dilemma!
One day, I decided to stop watching altogether. Why? I started dating. But why??
Imagine this other scenario:
--Doorbell rang
--My boyfriend came to visit (a surprise!)
--I opened the door
--My boyfriend looked like this
--I ran to look in the mirror
--I looked like this , screamed and ran upstairs
--I quit watching
What did I look like? Are you curious?
--limpy and tangly hair
--swollen and puffy eyes
--red and stuffy nose
--tired and drawn face
--dry and crumbly lips <== (leftover snacks)
Basically, eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Yuckkkkkkkk! Grosssssssss!
That's why NO MORE sad, tragic ending movie, drama series and manga for me!
What about my mom? Oh, she still watches them. And when I see her crying, I usually say, "Oh, Mom! How can you cry over such a thing?! It's just a TV drama!
