A Horrible Student
A student from De La Salle called and asked for advice. It seems he just got his grades for the term that just ended and he failed the same subjects thrice in a row (does this mean he failed the subjects in three terms?)
It seems the Management major kept failing at Accounting and some other Finance subjects and Mo said in his very nice Mohandas gentle way, that the caller was a "horrible student".Either he was doing something wrong like study habits that are screwed up or some distractions that contribute to brain death.
Go figure? Perhaps his ear was glued to Good Times from 6 to 9, and he can't unglue it.

Mongolian Blue Spots
Which led to a discussion on Mongolian Blue Spots. .
Professor Mo mentioned that he still has those blue spots (which you get at birth) right at his ass. Grace Lee said that her Mom mentioned that you usually get this blue spots when the doctor pulls you out from the womb of your Mother and the baby is held tightly, hence the blue marks.
According to Wikipedia,the Mongolian blue spot is a "birthmark is a blemish on the skin formed before birth. A little over 1 in 10 babies have a vascular birthmark.[1] They are part of the group of skin lesions known as "naevi". The exact cause of most birthmarks is unknown, but vascular birthmarks are not hereditary.[1][2]
They are soft raised swellings on the skin, often with a bright red surface, and some may look a bit like a strawberry. They are also known as "strawberry naevi" or as "infantile haemangiomas". They appear after birth, usually in the first month, and can occur anywhere on the skin. They are more of a problem when they affect the face. The cause of birthmarks is not fully understood. They are a benign overgrowth of blood vessels in the skin, and are made up of cells that usually form the inner lining of blood vessels. They are thought to occur as a result of a localized imbalance in factors controlling the development of blood vessels. Strawberry marks affect as many as one in ten newborn Caucasian babies but only about 1% of Asian and black children have them. They are particularly common in premature babies. Strawberry marks are not a sign of ill health, or associated with cancer."

To Wear or Not to Wear a School Uniform
Mo Twister asked an 11 year old listener who’s a friend of Freddie (frequent traveler to Germany) and who studies at the European International School if he wears a uniform to school or not. The 11 year old replied that when he was at Brent, he did wear a uniform, but in his new school, they could wear anything they want.
Mo Twister has said these repeatedly – he’d love to wear a uniform in school (even at work?) just to get the stress out of choosing what to wear everyday.
The problem is if an accident happens like you didn't have water (did Mojo say this?) and you have to wear a uniform that stinks to high heavens.
Oh well . .

Braveheart
Whoa!! What a way to start a morning show! I recall Mo telling a story two days ago about movies ( pirated or not, he didn't mention) that he has seen a hundred times, but which he bought again because he couldn't resist - some of which he had mentioned like Braveheart and Shawshank Redemption.
The Mohandas would get teary eyed at scenes especially before the big, climactic battle begins and the leader would stand in front of a crowd of a thousand followers , like in this scene of Braveheart.
Try to hear this, and cry.This was Mo’s favorite battle scene in Braveheart (speech before slaying thousands speech) until the film 300 came along.
