Chasing Life

'Chasing Life' (ABC Family)

I guess I never thought about life that way but watching this show just changed me a bit. Not a lot, just a bit. Changing takes time though. I now want to make a change by appreciating what I have in life. I mean I work in a clinic in a hospital (No, I am not a nurse, just an assistant in a clinic) and really find it hard to accept it when people get unreasonable with requests and starts putting you in a difficult spot, and I find it difficult to adjust when people start to get angry and starts scolding you when they do not get their way. I start to ease up on them a bit when I try to understand the situation they are in. I work in a neuro clinic, as you know, if you have been reading(if not I'm just talking to myself then). Not necessarily the best place but throughout the two years, I learn a lot of things along the way. One time, I almost cried in the room while assisting a doctor out. I do not get expose to assisting a surgeon that much, but at the same time I think if they were to just break down and cry, I would cry too. Which is why I do not picture myself working in a hospital ward. I think I would not be able to handle it.

When I found out that Andy Mientus is going to be in this show, I freaked. I had to watch it. It is pretty sad because hey, his character died in Smash, and well this is a show revolving people who have cancer, so we are going to expect heartbreaking things like them dying. I fell in love right after watching the first episode and spent my whole day watching the whole season up till the Christmas special. We have to wait till January for the next one but so far it is going good. I cried a lot watching this. Then again, I have never been able to watch a cancer show/movie without crying. I am such a crybaby and I am not sorry.

Remember A Walk To Remember? I watched that on TV and cried my eyes out. It was just so sad. We have The Fault In Our Stars. Oh and My Sisters Keeper. That too. 

So the latest episode just breaks my heart. I mean I know that Leo probably will survive the surgery, but that ending though. That beep though. I am proud of Leo for not giving up yet taking into account of what April said to him. Speaking of which,I am all for team Leo. I love April's relationship with Dom and all, but with Leo it is just better. Yeah, going down that shipping road here. They hooked up, but I want them to be together though. The way they look at each other. I guess he understands what she is going through more because he is going through it too. I will not go further because if I do, I might just go on describing the whole show. And yeah, I did not know that the one playing the role of Leo is the guy who plays Kristoff in Once Upon a Time until the few remaining episodes where I went to IMDB him because he just looks so familiar and I just could not remember which movie/drama I have seen him in. 

I do not know how it feels to have cancer or know someone with cancer, but I know that it is painful. So to all of you out there, hang on and big hugs to every single one of you. It is not easy, but I bet you are strong enough to fight through this! Maybe your life now is much more interesting and more fun than mine though. It should be, make your life an adventure and never stop fighting!

Till then, 
XOXO
