Someday the Dream will End || 20081126
Somebody asked me why do I like FFX so much? Well, I liked the game because of three reasons: the storyline, the original soundtrack (OST) and the morals (that I somehow find and learn from the game myself). The storyline had really left a great impression in my mind even though I played it six or seven years ago (disclaimer: FFX-2 sucks totally in my opinion). It is after playing that game that kept me awaiting for new Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts sequels. And definitely there was much things to learn from the game: fighting strongly for your cause, teamwork, friendships, treasuring your time and many more... Some people may find it stupid how I manage to learn things from good-for-nothing games; but it's the truth that I learn much from games.
Lastly, the music is what I love in the game. I think almost all the songs in the OST is what I like, except for some of the theme songs for the characters. My top three loved songs in FFX is Suteki Da Ne, To Zarnakand and Someday the Dream will End. And that is probably the reason why I put my post title as the third song. Sometimes I do think and take that life is pretty much like a dream. They are quite similar in a sense that life feels very real (or is real, in fact) but yet will eventually come to an end (just like a dream). The phrase "someday the dream will end" have both negative and positive connotations as I always like to interpret. Sometimes I would take this phrase positively which is to feel that life is not unlimited and we have to treasure this dream/life at every frame/moment. However, if I am not feeling low and down, I would probably take this phrase as saying that life and the sorrows I face will eventually end; I will no longer have to live this false dream anymore...

My group went to CCF this morning and we were very glad that the social worker was really helpful. I myself think I have been given a deeper insight into the challenges of children with cancer. My sister used to be a volunteer there but I never opened my mouth to ask about her experiences before: I guess it's time to ask her about it now... Another thing that came into my mind was why the social worker placed an emphasis that the kids faced ostracism because of their hair loss (due to chemotherapy). I was wondering is looks really that important to the society now? In fact, I guess looks seem to have always been an important factor in the past society (look at the perfectionist Greeks for an example). Doesn't anyone underweigh the looks and outweigh the character instead? Doesn't anyone care for or love the person's heart (and mind) much more than looks? I personally don't feel looks are all that more important because I myself am average-looking (or even worse). And I'm still pondering till now...
