Watched Some Interviews

-
I just watched interviews of JK Rowling, Dan Brown and David Baldacci. I did it because of a reason. I want to know their stories. Not the stories of their life, but the story of their success. How they did their stuff. I’m really moved by what happened to JK Rowling in her early life. It gave me hope that, she was 25 when she started writing Harry Potter. Well for now, my success is like the Yamashita treasures. I think it is still mythical. But I would like to continue though. I might not be a fulltime writer but I will write. I will write my examinations, my master’s thesis and Ph.D. dissertations. I will write some stupid things, such as solution for the deeply rooted corruption. I would also write about more important things such as, whether I will buy a new motorcycle or settle with my old sagging one. Definitely there is so much to write. One I learned of David Baldacci, it is easier to create truth than of searching for one. Then my plan is write the truth. Well for me everything is a truth. It exists inside my mind, and therefore that’s the reality for me. Oh I remember Dan Brown. He said the having a goal of pleasing everyone is just not feasible. Write what you want to read. Choose your audience. I want to read humor and that’s what I’m going to write. I’m still opening door for other genres but mainly, my focus is on humor. I’ll try fantasy humor.

Why Teachers Should Read Paulo Freire as A Teacher: A Reading Guide for Freire

JERONE AVEL S. CANSINO, MAED   In this article, I want to share one particular book. This book is titled “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” and for me, this is one of the best Philosophical pieces written about the impact of education on human society. It is a seminal book written by Brazilian educator and philosopher Paulo Freire. He published it in 1970. Here, he presented a critical and transformative approach to education and is often considered a foundational text in the field of critical pedagogy. I would love to say that as a teacher, this work has influenced me far beyond my four-year professional education training during my undergraduate school years. I have heard (or read) somewhere that you know you are reading a good Philosophical work when you get yourself disturbed and when your perception of reality is shaken. This exactly happened to me. The book is rather short as it is only composed of 4 Chapters. The first chapter justifies the “ pedagogy of the oppressed .” Here, he...

The Message of the Talking Tree

The Message of the Talking Tree Jerone Cansino Look at the tree illumined by the shadow of the night.  Look at him as watch the waves. As he watch the water break itself as it hit the ground, look at him.  Look at how he witness the change of seasons and how he count the appearance of the sun.  Look at the tree. Look at him how let go of his leaves and hold on to the same. Look at him as he grow with his feet firmly planted on the ground. Look at the tree, look at how he sing with the melody of the wind. Hear his cry as men destroy his kind with the least appreciation of their importance. Look at the tree as he shelter the small birds look at him. Look at him and hear him speak. Hear all the lessons he want to teach. Hear all those advises he wants you to heed. Look at him, look at him. He does not walk but he do exist. He does not work but he does serve. He gives more than he receive, he is indeed. ...
