Insecure tayong lahat!

I talked to Vince, my high school classmate , while we were at the gym. Since he was a soccer player in UST now, of course his team would be together dressing up in the locker room. He said his team mates reacts in awe whenever they see him topless. Reactions would be like "TANG INA VINCE ANG LAKI NG KATAWAN MO!"... Vince would react this way: "haa?! ANO!?!?". He exlained to me the population in UST who consistently go to the gym is just a puny number compared to Ateneo's. I guess Ateneo is just the haven for all-that kinds of people.

I shared Vince's story to Tam and he said: "Onga eh sa Ateneo lahat malaki katawan. tayo nasa normal range pa lang."Comming to college was a shock for both of us even though we were already expecting the crowd to be like so. We weren't expecting though that some are so great that they can join contests already. Everywhere you look you'll find a buffed/extremely lean guy or an extremely sexy fit girl. We felt so small both figuratively and literally and felt so left behind the trends being set in the school.

At the gym (still in ateneo), I was with Mike and Ardi (lower batch). Both guys were already buffed. Mike already has a 6 pack. Then we saw this guy (higher batch)'s abs. It was extremely chiselled that we described it as "may sariling buhay". Afterwards we were looking at ourselves screaming "tang inaaa bakit ganito too!?!?! ang ganda ng kaniya!!" haha. Ardi shouts something like "ang taba ko na!!". My line now is: "ANG PANGIT NA NG TIYAN KO!!!" We never were contented with how we look and I doubt we ever will be.

I heard from a friend that in DLSU, "araw-araw fashion show". Good thing I don't study there. I might run out of tops. Are these trends part of the schools' prestigiousness?
