This past year, I became particularly conscious of my age. I never really gave it much thought before (then again, I was younger), but when you realize you are the dinosaur at The LaSallian’s acquaintance party, you are bound to give your age some attention. The LaSallian, in all its glorious 50 years, has seen…

From one era to another

Whenever an athlete goes down on the pitch, the mound, or on the all-familiar parquet floor, there is always the sound of collective gasps, as spectators often speculate if the injury is serious or if the athlete can still be nursed back to his or her full health.
180 DEGREE TURN. What everyone anticipated to be a day of celebration turned into a day of tragedy. Around 5 this afternoon on the last day of the Bar exams (Sept. 26), an explosion wounded at least 44 people who were at the vicinity of the DLSU campus where the Bar exa…ms were being held.…
