Rom Cumagun I am glad you find John Nash beautiful and inspiring and have in fact salute him. Cinema should be grateful that Ron Howard chose Russell Crowe - USA to perform the lead role and Jennifer Connelly , the support, because we have come to know the main character as someone loveable.

I can not take for granted though that you might mistake that what you have seen was a work of non-fiction because I must remind you that in cinema, A Beautiful Mindis still a work of fiction in the same vein as The Bridges Of Madison County.

This is not to invalidate the inspired feelings the film has elicited from you; in fact I clarify the distinction so that you may fully appreciate the effect of cinema as dramatic art and not as biographic documentary.

Marieziel Cendana San Pedro Thanks for the reminder... I know it's fictional..... but whatever... I like the movie. Period.



Rom Cumagun Good to know that you know that the movie you have liked unconditionally is fictional. Before I rest my point I would like to suggest that you complement film viewing with reading biography of John Nash, the mathematician. A good starting point is Wikipedia wherein you can co-writehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Forbes_Nash,_Jr.

John Nash, the mathematician,
The inspiration of the movie.

Rom Cumagun What is the possibility of this post's privacy setting changed from "friends only to public"? I would like to invite you to the great pedagogic possibility of you expressing publicly, your thumbs up of this highly commendable movie.

There may be other bloggers, who like me wish to learn from your world view.

Done.... public. Thanks for finding interest in my posts.

pwedeng default mo is friends only and then set particular posts to public

Breakfast With Tin's Adopted White Stray Kitten

Breakfast of hot bread of salt "pandesal," white cheese & coffee - with (daughter) Christine Marie Cumagun, (best friend and wife) Pelagia Milado-Cumagun and Tin's adopted white stray kitten June 30, 2014 Marikina City, Philippines

Breakfast with new members of the family are worth remembering.

This morning of June 30th, 2014, breakfast was in celebration of a new addition to our wildlife family.

Christine Marie Milado-Cumagun or Tin-tin, my 1st daughter, whose friend couldn't take care of a stray kitten, volunteered to adopt and bring home her friend's stray white kitten last night.

Although this is over and above the other kittens that are already at home with us, the soft spot in my wild heart, after seeing how vulnerable the kitten is, decided to go along with the project of taking care of another wild life in the family.

Luckily, my best friend and wife, Pelagia "Pet" Cumagun,

came home last night from a training session in Tagaytay

and she brought "pasalubong" (take-home native food) of "kesong puti" (white cheese)

which we all partook for breakfast.

Aside from dining together was the opportune time to discuss matters of wild emotions and wild ideas in addition to the subject (literally on the table) which is wild life:

1.

Pet's excitement of Tacloban City government plans for rehabilitating Typhoon Yolanda victims in connection with her work with Center for Community Transformation;

2.

Tin's recent team-building  activity;

3.

My teaching appointment at University of Santo Tomas consisting of Advertising Practice   (Concept Development) and Natural Science (Earth & Life Science)

I was hoping our regular visitor, the black cat would drop in for  the meal but it wasn't around.

Dead moths, strewn in the garden doesn't normally fit in the ambiance of a pleasant breakfast but in this particular one, when Nature is the ambiance and Science is the conversation, it was picture perfect.

Teachable moment for my daughter, too, was this breakfast; I had the chance to practice correcting my daughter's conclusion that the cats had lepideptora for breakfast as they did with the rodents.

Photo taken today.

I told her that moths have a short life span and that their job as pollinators are over; so is their life. We have had breakfasts of similar conversation but I must say, this breakfast with Tin's adopted white stray kitten, has been breaking of bread with the white cheese of learning as its butter.

Praying for a Journalist's Bright Future

I would like to report conduct unbecoming of Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism Multi-Media Deputy Officer Cong B. Corrales and recommend that he be retrained as a journalist according to PCIJ standards.

He posted on Facebook a link of a Manila Times article about an Ateneo de Naga student who disrupted President Ninoy’s speech to which I commented

"instead of disrupting the speech, the Ateneo student could have used social media — self publishing his blogs, for example — to share his discontent with the president."

Sure, I am not if it is only I who can not see his Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/congcorrales/posts/10204324166252097 because I have been unfriended and consequently blocked by Cong because of this incident; it is possible he deleted the post, too if you can't see it, too.

However, being his teacher in Journalism in high school, I can not let this incident pass without his superiors at PCIJ knowing about this. I will try to recreate the conversation thread as accurately as I could.

Cong: Both the president and the student have equal freedoms of speech.

Rom: Yes, but the student could have waited for the open forum.

Cong: I did not ask for your opinion. Why are you writing on my wall?

Rom: Is your FB profile hacked? I seem not to be conversing with the rational journalism student I know way back in Xavier University High School who is now a journalist at the PCIJ.

Cong: (in Visayan) Fuck teachers!

Rom: Kalinaw ug Kahusay.

Former teachers Evelyn Gomez, Roque Breboneria and 10 others I tried to reach out via post mentions and Clarita Hallares, was the only one I noticed who acknowledged my comments. To his peers fb group, I too posted:

XUHS 1990 I seriously think my former journalism student

Cong B. Corrales needs your advice. Please comment. thank you all! https://www.facebook.com/congcorrales/posts/10204324166252097 — looking for peace at romcumagunmedianewsonlinecom. 

Cong Corrales is one of my students whom i regard highly. In fact he is one of my claims to greatness as a journalism teacher. He was one of the students i brought along with me in a mass mobilisation against Del Monte Philippines. Bukidnon in which i was reprimanded by the school principal.

Cong and I chatted via fb pm before this incident and he told me "that day was memorable to him and had a bearing to what he does professionally now." Alas after 25 years I felt I did something right. My jubilation though was dampened by his behaviour recently.

Wasting away his talent for some reason i still do not know is the last thing I would like to happen. His behaviour towards me was so callous that I could only think of two possible causes: 1) his fb account has been hacked 2) he was on drugs or alcohol. I am not taking any chances and so this report.

Special mention of friends at PCIJ whom I seek extra attention on the matter: David Celdran (i hope you remember me producing "Filipino" infomercials with ABS-CBN News Channel during the Pres. Estrada impeachment), Sheila Coronel (we met at Miriam College during one of your talks) Ces Balgos (we are schoolmates).

I pray all will be well with our mutual friend Cong. May PCIJ prosper and live long.
