The LaSallianWhen I was a child and growing, perhaps others might also agree that after being reprimanded or corporally punished (this is not an unusual practice in Korean tradition) by my parents for doing something mischievous and wrong, they always told me to reflect on my actions and mull over what I ought to have done.…
After an 11 month hiatus from boxing, Manny Pacquiao climbed back into the ring to face Brandon Rios in Macau. Reeling off two straight losses – a controversial split decision to Timothy Bradley and a sixth round knockout against Juan Manuel Marquez – many believed that the man known as Pac-Man was better off retiring…
Do you remember the last time you wished you were a kid again? Maybe it was that time you were climbing those mountains upon mountains of projects to do and papers to submit, or it could’ve struck you as you waited on an eternal line at the train station, or maybe even when you just…

If DLSU will introduce a course on FAIL101 in the near future, I will volunteer to teach the class and share learning key points from past mistakes and previous decisions in life.
