Hahaha. That’s the classy smart Arj I know. Pahiram na lang ng mga witty retorts mo na pambara sa sinumang magtatanong kung ba’t single pa rin ako. Bru, magkita-kita naman tayo. Miss na kita. 🙂

though, unlike you, I still brave family reunions and just make sure that i’m prepared and have “rude and in your face” retorts to “kelan ka mag-aasawa” quesions. just the other month my tita asked “kelan ka lalagay sa tahimik”, i answered “bakit, magulo ba buhay ko? tahimik naman ah”. when another one asked “kelan ba kami makaka-higop ng mainit na sabaw, I said “saang restaurant mo ba gusto humigop ng sabaw? halika, ili-libre kita”.

Thanks so much for your comments, Tito. Society does seem to be kinder to 30ish women who are still single. It’s just that I’ve started shying away from family reunions because all my relatives could do is to make an issue out of my being single. Like it’s a disease!

Re Kris, my analysis is of her is that, apart from being overwhelmed by the dictates of her loins (hahaha! love that!), she really has this deep-seated insecurity about herself that she needs to be wanted, desired, liked, or, if she’s lucky, loved. Her definition of herself is dependent on the attention she gets from people, especially from tall, big men. I pity her in that regard because, if that’s the case, then she can never truly be happy.

Again, many thanks, Tito. See you soon. 🙂

Secondly, I might be dense about it, but I am not aware of society judging or labelling 30ish women who are still single. There may be a few pejorative words here and there, but that’s just about it. Society may have been more judgmental in the past, but in the more recent times, there is a trend of people marrying late. Society not only looks at them more kindly, but people are beginning to accept it as a norm. It is no longer an aberration because it is perfectly normal.

The trouble with Kris is that she does not choose well. As you said, it seems that she is always overwhelmed by the dictates of her loins.

Now, here’s something mean. Have you noticed how she falls for tall, big men?

Thanks for your comment. 🙂
