When a woman is at her thirties and still single and unattached, she is always subject to a lot of questions and speculation as to her current status. Its like "people"( this include your family, your so-called friends and what not..) find it so unusual that you're still unmarried. The consensus in our society has always been consistent through out the years---every woman should get married and settle down. I find this notion ridiculous. The fact that you're not married is your business and yours alone. Its annoying when you meet acquaintances that you haven't seen for ages and hear them throw this "standard" query to you "Musta? Minyo na ka?". I know everyone has their own lofty ideas about "tying the knot"; "settling down" or just plainly saying it "getting married". From hooking up with "Mr. Right"( does this phrase really exist?) to finally walking down the aisle with him is almost always the subject of every romantic movie, novel, song and to any woman. At least in the movie, it always has a happy ending which is very unlikely in real life. I'm not saying that I'm against the "marriage" thing, in fact I am all for it. Its just not for every one ( including myself ). And sometimes, women just take the plunge just to fulfill someone's plan or whatever you may call it. Its kind of sad....
