For a summer look, women are opt to wear dresses for an achieved fresh look. Blazers are also a trend for women. Put it over your shirt or blouse to pull of a formal-looking yet a classy attire.

The movie started when Henry and Maria Bennett, together with their sons Lucas, Thomas, and Simon, went to a resort in Thailand to have their Christmas vacation, not knowing that their enjoyment will be altered with a tragic event. A tsunami hit the place, wiping out every people and thing it passes through. The Bennett family got separated with each, leaving Maria and Lucas together, and Henry with Thomas and Simon.

They search every place and hospital just to find each other. Maria, who is seriously injured, needed an operation for her broken chest. While Henry entrusted his two sons to a woman in order for him to search for his wife and Lucas. Mistakenly, the medical records of Maria were exchanged with a dead victim, leaving Lucas alone with the other victims whose family members are nowhere to be found. But when the mistakes are fixed,Lucas got reunited with his mother.

Towards the end of the movie, Henry got reunited with Thomas and Simon. Fortunately, Lucas was also looking for his father and  siblings, and good thing, they found themselves again in each other's arms. The family got reunited, and with the help of their insurance company, they arranged a flight to Singapore to bring the family home and also to continue Maria's medication.

I first time watched this movie last January 2013, and I was able to watch it the second time just recently that made me decide to do a review of this movie. It is a movie of despair and survival. This movie will make one realize how powerful the nature forces are, and how can it destruct one's life, at the same time, how it can make relationship ties get stronger.

What makes it a good piece? It will definitely give you a roller coaster of emotions. It is a story of a twist of fate that can change our points of view toward our lives. To give you valuable reasons, here are some points on why you shouldn't miss this movie:

1. It's terrifying.

Not to the point that it talks about zombies, or what. I mean that the situation itself; being hit by a tsunami, being separated with your family, and get tormented. Now that's what you call terrifying.



2. It is based from a true story.

What makes it interesting is that it is a real-life story of a family who was able to surpass the said tragedy. Now that's what you call A STORY.

3. It's heartwarming.

I assure you, it will really touch the deepest parts of your heart.



As for me, it is not really a story of the tsunami hit, it is about the FAMILY. Each portrayed character was able to pull off each scene perfectly to be able to deliver each scene to its viewers, at the same time translating each feeling of pain, agony, and love. I would say that this film is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

If you want a movie that gives a heavy feeling, but will be able to inspire and change how you see your family, then The Impossible is a definite choice.


For those who want to see the movie, here's a copy of the movie from YouTube.




Rating: ★★★★☆

The story started when Michael Starkwedder, an engineer, was trying to get some help after running his car into a ditch due to a thick fog. While searching for some help, he came across a house. When he knocked on the door, and there's nobody answering to his call, he entered the house as he saw that the french windows were open. To his surprise, he saw the lifeless body of Richard Warwick, a hot-tempered man, sitting on a wheelchair, with Laura, his wife, standing across the room with a gun on her hand. when Michael asked Laura who killed Richard, Laura immediately took the blame. But Michael was not convinced that she did the killing. So instead of calling the police, the two made a cover-up story to protect Laura. They thought of setting up MacGreggor, the father of the boy that Richard ran over several years ago, to be the killer.

As soon as the investigation rolled, as headed by Inspector Thomas and Sergeant Cadwallader, they found out that MacGreggor was already dead so him being the killer was impossible. With the turn of events, the history of the family came up that;s why every member of the family became the suspect to the killing. As the ending neared, Jan, the mentally-challenged Richard's half brother, stole one of the police's gun, while shouting that he was the one who shot Richard. He shot one of the police then he shot himself to death. As the police thought that the case is already solved since Jan admitted the crime, Michael is not convinced with it. To end the story, Michael confessed to Laura that Jan was not the killer but him since he is MacGreggor and he came to give his revenge. Laura run after him as he escape himself from the tragic scene.

The Unexpected Guest was originally a theatrical story way back in 1958. I could say that the story is a murder mystery since it started when Michael Starkwedder, who happens to be the "unexpected guest," discovered the murder of Richard Warwick. The story offered a lot of mysteries like, "Who killed Richard Warwick?" "What are the secrets lying in the corners of the house of the Warwicks?" "Why did Michael Starkwedder is trying to protect Laura Warwick?" These are just some of the questions that are in need to be answered.

Since I am a fan of mystery and suspense-thriller books, I found this book interesting. The story is very straightforward and the plot is simply constructed. This novel talks about how family relationships can change with just some turn around of events. Behind those love for each family member, there's hatred that is slowly building up, waiting to be burst out. As the story escalates, feelings of love and hate will collide.

"Inner beauty outlasts outer beauty.

And so inner beauty is what we should also enhance."

--- A line from Miriam Quiambao-Roberto's Foreword for the book "Ikaw na ang Maganda!" by Malu Tiongson-Ortiz.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

How to be beautiful? That's the every question a woman asks. Is it all about how one looks, or it comes from within? Either way, enhancing both beauties will make you, us, a better being.

How does one define beauty? It depends. What may seem beautiful to one person may not be to another. Simply, there are no rules in appreciating one's beauty. Today, beauty is an asset. It helps one person to find a better job, or attract someone. For women, beauty will give them confidence. Most are willing to spend money to buy beauty products. But what if, you don't have the luxury to buy those? Does that mean that you can't be beautiful? This is what this book will teach us: That there is more to physical beauty. It's the inner beauty that make each woman beautiful. Just like what 1 Peter 3:3-4 says, "Beauty does not come from outward adornment, clothes, jewelry, hair, or makeup. There is something more to being beautiful on the outside, something that in the eyes of God, is even more valuable."
