So much more to say. So much to be done.

Good day shabu!!

Today Thong asked me to go watch Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It was pretty good! Besides the fact that Nanette needed me to take her to the restroom and by the time I came back, Dumbledore was already dead. -_- Then we hopped to My Sister's Keeper but we weren't able to finish the last ten minutes of the movie.

Half-way through the movie, something struck me. There were many doctors in the movie. And I thought about how most of us want to grow up to become accomplished doctors in one way or another. We go to school to study and learn for eight to fourteen years simply to become these doctors. And well, doctors are simply ordinary people. Like everyone else, they're just people. They may have a distinguished occupation, but they're still people who will live and die like any other. They'll never be a Micheal Jackson, a Mother Theresa, a Kobe Bryant, or an Abraham Lincoln. Nope, just a doctor something. But why is it that most of us want to pursue the medical field? Is it for the prestige? The fortune? The importance? The feeling of doing good deeds?

But moving on. In the movie, Kate is a victim of cancer, specifically leukemia. She lives each day understanding that she can die any time. And she falls in love with a boy who is also a cancer victim. These people who are suffering from diseases and sicknesses. Who have their lives dangling on a mere thread. Who become burdens to those around them - however cruel that may seem. How do they live their lives? We, on the other hand, planned out our entire future. We have dreams, aspirations. We have places we want to go to, things we want to do, words we want to say, and people we want to stay with. And yet, with such a limited time, what would we do? In such a case, every other thing seems insignificant. And in the end, Kate chose to spend her time with the boy she grew to love. You can do all the things you want to do in life. Go to fun and interesting places. Learn at prestigious schools. Become that one prominent figure. Make a fortune. But in the end, if you're alone, it'll all be for nothing. The gratification would just dissolve into...nothing. Emptiness.
