Maids Next In Line

Just today I heard of a new term ‘No Boyfriend Since Birth’ or ‘NBSB’, it’s a new yuppie term used in Manila. It’ basically about powerful beautiful women who have just recently decided to leave the single scene. What is most striking to me about the term is that in unparallel lines I can relate somewhat. But the term should be ‘Maids Next In Line’ or ‘MNIL’. These days I’ve been surrounded by friends who are either married, engaged to be married, or dying to get married. What is it about right now that us woman may fall into that category ‘Next In Line Pls’? Must be our biological time clock or the notion of let’s make it official, or it could simply be the case of what’s in currently? For whatever it may be, the thought of reciting ‘I do’ as God bare my witness makes me cringe. Marriage is forever, lifetime of enduring sacrifice, of growth and unescapable maturity. Have I got what it takes to jump and be next in line….hmmmmm..What say you Juls? Well, after re-assesing my inner emotions, inner fears and inner inhibitions it has derived to me that challenging the status quo is the only sane way to approach the MNIL trend. I say no to ‘next in line’, I say no to ‘bowing to pressure’, and I say no to ‘Yes I do’ in place of until that special moment that I know will eventually arrive, and until then life is simple and extremely beautiful  :)
