TCP Entry:TheTerminal

Wikipedia for the picture

The theme for this week's TCP is about Agape or Unconditional Love; for my entry it is another Tom Hanks movie entitled The Terminal. If it's a Tom Hanks movie then it must be a good one. Indeed he was able to portray very the part of easter immigrant named Novarski who was forced to stay inside the JFK Airport when war broke into his  country. All of a sudden he became a man without a country because of the war, US denied him of his entry. 

Here is the plot synopsis based on IMDB:

While Viktor Navorski is en route to the U.S. to fulfill a wish of his late father's, there is a coup in the Eastern European country in which he lives. When he lands at JFK, he learns that his country is no longer recognized by the U.S. so he cannot enter - and he can't go home either, because all planes to his country are canceled. While waiting in this limbo, Viktor takes up residence in JFK Terminal and learns another definition of home. 

During his stay at the airport,he met a lot of people who came to like him because he possess a very good heart. One very touching scene of the movie was when Novarski saw in TV the war that is happening in his country. He felt so helpless because he does not even know how to speak English. Yet despite the hardships he must undergo while staying at the airport he did not give up his dream of going to the US. He needs to get the autograph tenor saxophonist Benny Golson. His late father was a jazz enthusiast who had discovered the "Great Day in Harlem" photograph in a Hungarian newspaper in 1958, and vowed to get an autograph of all the 57 jazz musicians featured on the photograph.

For me it is one of those movies which showed unconditional love of a son to his dad. He is willing to undergo  struggles just to fulfill his father's dream.

Baker King : Bread,Love,Dreams

Google for the photo

I am not really a fan of Koreanovelas, but whenever I see a good one; I would definitely watch it from start to finish. I am currently hooked with the new Koreanovela of GMA 7 entitled the Baker King.

The  plot is quite simple, the lead character Kim Tak Gu is the illegitimate son of the Chairman of the biggest bread factory. But since he is the first male child, he is suppose to inherit the businesses based on their traditions. Of course the legal wife would not agree with it, thus she would do everything to make Kim Tak Gu's life as miserable as hell (this is with the help of Manager Han, her lover).  The Chairman has another son named Matthew Gu (actually he is the son of Manager Han and the chairman's wife). Matthew would strive to be the best baker because Kim Tak Gu inherit the talent about baking from the Chairman.

The story would revolve around bread, the struggle for love and attention and lastly the fulfillment of one's dream to be the baker king. As the main character Kim Tak Gu faces so many challenges and trials, eventually he will try to rebuild his life by becoming the baker king.

You may want to check out this Koreanovela and you would surely love Kim Tak Gu's character. There are so many things to learn about the characters in the show. Aside from that, watching the Baker King makes waiting time until hubby gets home less boring.

Gift of Love Song

This video was made by my hubby during our 1st wedding anniversary. I was browsing old files in the computer and I saw this one. Watching it made me smile and realize that I am happy and contented with my life right now. I have nothing more to ask. Others would assume that we are pretending to be happy couple; but we know ourselves more than anyone else.

TCP Entry: Notting Hill

photo not mine thanks to Google.

For my TCP entry for this week is about this movie "Notting Hill". Can the famous film star in the world fall for just an ordinary guy?, Yes, because when it comes to love whatever your status in life when you fall in love, you would do anything and fight for it whatever it takes.

In this movie Hugh Grant is just a ordinary guy he's a owner of a bookstore while Julia Roberts is a film star. They met accidentally in the bookstore and eventually developed their friendship into a romantic relationship. This movie is romantic comedy and it showed how it is to fall in love.

It does not matter whatever people say about your relationship when you really love the person you will risk everything like Julia did; even it will change your life just to be with him or her. Love is like a cigarette it harms you with warning and before you know it, you cannot just simply remove it from your system.
Love is a sacrifice and it could be a big sacrifice for some people.
