“Today is a good day to DIE.” – Keiffer Sutherland (flatliners)

That phrase is so cool.

And I love the movie from where it came from.

Flatliners is a 1990 film by Joel Schumacher which stars Keiffer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt as medical students experimenting with near-death experiences and suffering the supernatural consequences.

In FaceBook, there is this Quiz App that tells you your approximate death age and how you’re going to croak. Of course, no one takes this seriously but it’s really fun to imagine if one could really know when you’re going to die and how.

Fun… but personally, I don’t really want to know. It’s too stressful for me.

Another movie about death is now showing – ‘The Final Destination’ which is the fourth and supposedly the final installment to the ‘final destination’ film series.

The film reminds us that some secrets or truths are best kept unknown.

If I have a choice, I would like to die in my sleep and at a time that I don’t know.

However, the thing that prompted me to writing this blog is the number of really famous personalities here and abroad who died this year.

I have listed here just some of the famous people who died from the start of the year to present:

Francis Magalona – March 6
The Philippines’ Master Rapper DIED of Leukemia

“This year is indeed a good year to DIE.”
