111! What a nice number.

Anyway, Jessie watched Honey and Clover the Japanese version. I am praying so darned hard that the Taiwan version don't spoil the essence of it coz it rocks. Started off pretty TYPICAL, A loves B, B loves C etc.. with the backdrop of an Art University. But if you managed to survive the first few episodes, the rest rock. When you end at epi 11 (at least for me), you realized it's a story about friendship, about learning to give up and move on more than a LOVE story. And I guessed that's why I loved it. I am really hoping (I think I said that already just now) that the Taiwan version doesn't change it into a boring old love story. Anyway, I will be quote collecting from the drama =) Why, the manga seems to be interesting to read now =)

Oh, and I felt the drama was well plotted. I don't know whether I'm the only one that feels that way but you just know it =)

I am stealing them from a site. I think I will just buy the manga or something and then chew on it. LOL.

No one can ever replace someone else – Aida Kazu
When Takemoto's stepfather talks about Takemoto's real father. For erasing of memories is never possible.

I was told no by Mayama, but I can’t just suddenly dislike him. With complex feelings like this, just because you don’t end up going out doesn’t mean it just automatically goes away – Yamada

I just wanted to say, it was an apt.. description. Coz I've been through that before. You will still love even if you are rejected.

You choose to give up or make an effort. There are only these two choices for humans to choose from. You have to honestly tell them your feelings. The rest is up to them. To make an effort, or to give up would then be their choice. It was the same for you. It’s the same for everyone. – Shu-chan to Yamada

I told a lie to Yamada. There are actually three choices. But if you believe that there are only two, you can open pathways so I won’t say the third answer – Shu-chan

But I realized why I was lost. Its not because I don’t have a map. Its because I don’t have a destination. – Takemoto

If I really liked him I should hope for his happiness. But like you said in the car, I actually hoped they would break up. – Yamada

To cry because there is something you want to do and to cry because you can’t find it. Which is more painful? The only thing I can say is even with all the words I have now, I can’t stop her tears – takemoto

Anyway, my absolute fave is this one, the one in the ending which summarises the whole plot:

Spring,in the previous two years

We met in amazing colour

I felt happiness just to stay beside her

But I felt frustrated at myself for not appreciating chances

I thought I couldn't make it becoz I didn't chase after her

I hated that I could only watch beside her

Hagumi's gentle note gave me new hope

Hagumi's toughness gave me encouragement

I always thought

Perhaps love that passed through many difficulties would be meaningful

But I understand now

The meaningful thing is that I met Hagumi

That was why I became who I am now

As time goes by

Everything would be forgotten

But I will remember

The time we shared

And it can't be replaced

I can face this feeling with pride now

It was good to fall in love with you

Happy Jessie.
