 　　108 CRYING / TEARS
I don't cry much. Of course, when i was really young, crying was not a big deal. But it is (when) one gets older (that) crying becomes one big deal. I was never a crying baby. I mean I never cried more than other kids. But i wasn't cold-hearted , either.
The last time i really cried, i mean i wept, was when i saw the ...movie ... . I was bombing when i saw that movie. I thought of my grand mother who had passed a few years before. And i missed her really badly. She was such a giving person. I don't normally¹ go in much tear-jerkers. I perfer a comedy or an action film. But once in a while, I'll see a movie that pulls on the heart strings² and makes me tear up. Some actors are good at making themselves cry. For some actors it comes easier than others. Some actors force themselves to keep their eyes open and then their tear start to wailing³ up. i wonder if they ever use cut-onions.
