masangya's anatomy

"Oh my God, buong araw kami nangangapa ng breasts."

This wasn't really the kind of conversation I expected when my high school friends decided to do a little catching up with each other last Friday. I cut my NMAT classes [tsk tsk] for the day to go to Mall of Asia with them. Being the big loser that I am, it was the first time I was able to go there.

Masaya. When I arrived at the mall, I tried really hard not to look like a toddler lost in a grocery store. Goodness, the place was huge. And as luck would have it, the first place I wound up in had all my favorite stores. So, shopping muna. Hehe. Then we all met up (me, Oyayi, Danlen, Wilson, Joana, Laurice), and because we were all hungry, we went to Kalye Juan for lunch and left John Paul to look for us. Haha.

Movie watched = the Prestige. See the thing about this movie was that everybody had different opinions about it. Some people told me it was not that good, others told me I would be stupid not to like it. Hmm. I never really liked being stupid. But honestly, I really liked the movie. It was so dark and mysterious, and presented a view of obsession so borderline that it became haunting. And I'm a huge sucker for movies that make me THINK. I don't like just sitting in a theater watching something passively (unless I'm toxic and I just really need a nonsense, feel-good movie). Maganda yung movie. I sense an Oscar on the way.

Masarap palang pagtsismisan ang Pisay. I mean, we spent hours digging up new dirt on all of our batchmates (sorry 04, hehe). Pero it was a really good way kasi to know where all of our batchmates were and how they were doing. Tsaka yun nga, masarap lang talagang pagtsismisan ang Pisay.

The best part was the occasional (actually, more like frequent) talks and references to med school. In the bunch, we had five future doctors (feelingero na kami, sorry) - Me: bio, manila; Oyayi: bio, diliman; Danlen: intarmed; Wilson: intarmed; and Joana: hum bio - so obviously, mapapag-usapan ang med. Parang nasa alternate universe na sina Danlen, Wilson, and Joana dahil med students na sila. And yung mga kwento talaga nila about breasts, ob-gyne, 160-station lab exams, cadaver dissections... haaay, nakakatuwa. I cannot wait to get into med school.

Oh, and masarap pala yung champola ice cream thingy. I vow to return para mabili ko yung belgian cone with strawberry ice cream and almond topping. Yum.
