The Fault in Our Stars

So obviously I just watched the above-mentioned movie this afternoon and it made me thinking... which I haven’t done for so long hehe. Not thinking per se, but thinking as in wondering thinking.

I realized instead of writing a review, which is very normal nowadays, why don’t I write about thoughts instead. Thoughts or questions that were ignited by watching movies, or listening to music, or just about anything. Maybe that’s different. Maybe that’s missing from this new generation.

So I asked a friend... Would you still date a dying person? Would you start something that you definitely know how it’s going to end? And end soon.

Probably if I’m not the dying person, I will be like Hazel Grace – wary, cautious, let’s just be friends type. And when the inevitable falling in love happens, then that’s the only time I’d go for it.

Yet if I’m the one dying... on second thought... I’d go all out. I’d pour my feelings out. I’d do the things that I want to do without question, without fear. Indeed death changes everything. Maybe we need to realize death in order to live. Don’t you agree?

Who Wants to Die in a Hospital Anyway?

It's Christmas and ironic to talk about death. Yet we cannot be farther to our death each day that goes by our lives.

I'd like to share a touching story on dying I found on dNeero's conversation. This is Za's story. While her sibling was getting married, she was diagnosed a critical disease and eventually became comatose. Despite the length of the clip, we can learn a vital information on life and death.

How Many Died When You Were Born?

141,471 People

This is definitely a morbid fact on a grand day of birth. But we tend to overlook the truth that people die also on our own birthdays, ei? :D (Was the smiley unsuitable here?)

This "quiz" is much like those in Blogthings, only the graphics are much cooler. Here are other morbid morsels and eccentric what-nots:

Michael 'Jurassic Park' Crichton Died of Cancer

Michael Crichton, the famous author of Jurassic Park among other titles that went into film, died of cancer last November 5.

It's really a shock for me that I only learned now upon browsing through other Twits. I'm not a fan of Crichton but I know of him because of his fame, particularly with Jurassic Park and Lost World. I, for one, like the dinosaur films and I can even watch it again and again (but not consecutively, of course).

 Prayers to Crichton's soul and his loved ones' loss.
