This is taken in Gingoog, Misamis Oriental. It is a 2-way road, but unfortunately only 1 way was taken  because there was a road construction.  What they did was that all the vehicles have to  wait and stop until all the vehicles on the other side pass, so really it’s like a  STOP for 15-30 minutes so that every vehicle has a fair chance to use the road safely and properly.

Finally, after a year I have just finished reading the book. Of the 3 books, this third part lacks the curiosity of the first and the excitement of the second, yet it is the most dramatic. There are many scenes in which a paint of melancholy and death is very colorful. Tragic, but worthwhile as it begins a new chapter of the lives of Katniss, Peeta, and Gale and the rest of the survivors.

Going to the General Santos City Airport, my attention was caught by this beautiful scenery!

This was where we took our lunch in South Koronadal the day after the wedding. It was called Dolores Floating Restaurant. It serves tilapia, and the tilapia comes from here, so you are assured that it’s really fresh!

And why is this important? This is taken in the gym of the Pinoy Pride Manny Pacquiao. Though at first I didn’t believe that he was converted but when there were many physical manifestations including this, then for sure it was real!

This is Jinkee Pacquiao’s Cafe. It still belongs to the Pacquiao’s Road Haus Hotel in General Santos City. This is just a proof of how Manny loves his wife so much that he made a tribute to her.

The Impossible takes you into an emotional ride in which your tears just flow down naturally.  Though sometimes I am bias and a little contrived when my brain says cry. It’s an emotional movie. It presents a lot of foreshadowing. I like the page of Joseph Conrad’s book which never left in the hands of Naomi Watts. Another foreshadowing element is the hesitance and worry of Naomi Watts which was all over the film, which I think and doubt if it was really part of the true story,  though  I can’t judge I was never in the same situation. I was a bit wondering though why Naomi was nominated for an Oscar Best Actress. What I  saw in her in the film  was not really extraordinary. If ever The Impossible gets an acting nomination it would be Ewan McGregor or Tom Holland. Ewan shows enough emotion of a hopeful father and Tom was a revelation as he takes dramatic parts effectively. The film has a wonderful presentation of a wretched Thailand and its people. Make-up is ok, I think Naomi and Ewan have the same make-up. For some, the story may be dragging as it tells their tragedy and survival of the evil tsunami, but the purpose of the film is to draw out the genuine emotions and the realistic approach of how one interacts after a tragedy which was attained. The Impossible is a movie filled with hope, a bit contrived and soapy at times especially during the reunion scene; nevertheless, it will squeeze out the fluids of your body.
