Just like most single women, I've been asked many many times this annoying question: "Kailan ka mag-aasawa?". To which I already have a standard answer "Tagal pa po. Mag-jojowa po muna ako." This, I had used countless times, it bores me to tears already. You know how some people are so forgetful (or just entirely insensitive and vicious), they ask every single chance they get when you very unfortunately bump into them. Their questions have different versions na nga - "Ay, wala pa rin ba?", "Hindi pa ba magkaka-apo?" (to my parents while I'm just right there beside them). Abaaaa, I also have to up my game and have a few spells up my sleeve to counter the exasperating questions thrown my way, right?! So, in case you have already used up all the responses from the oh-so-helpful listicles by our kumares out there, here are 5 more ways to respond to the classic question "Kelan ka mag-aasawa?":
2. Be statue-like. Not for pasmado ladies as steady acting skill is necessary, until you convince the usi that you are semento and they walk away from you.
3. "Kapag po hindi na kayo usisera. Tagal pa po siguro 'yun, ano?." Use your sayang-nga-po-eh face upon delivering this response. For the full effect, you can end it with a resounding "Tsk."
4. Pretend you have tics, triggered by the words asawa or boyfriend. You have to be convincing enough and let them know about your 'condition' so that next time you meet, they will think twice about bringing up their favorite topic of pag-aasawa.
5. "Pa-add ko na lang po kayo sa FB group ng mga Usiseras and Usiseros of the Universe. 'Dun po ako mag-aanounce." Keeping up with the latest chikas, digital na anubaaa!
You're welcome, mga titas! Group hug!!! :)
