The Proposal

Movies + TV + weird mind = this topic!

This is actually a movie still being filmed starring one of my favorites Sandra Bullock. 2009 pa release nito though. (plugging ba!)

Anyhow, when the words FRIENDS and PROPOSAL come into play, two things enter my mind.

One - I am pretty sure you are aware of the agreement in My Best Friend's Wedding where Julia Roberts' and Dylan McDermott's characters agreed that if both of them reached the age of 28 without any of them being married to another person, then, they should marry each other.

Two - An episode of FRIENDS with the title THE ONE WITH THE PROPOSAL where Rachel and Phoebe talk about having backups: guys to marry if they're not married by the time they're 40. They decided that Ross is Rachel's backup and Joey is Phoebe. No need for backup with Monica because at this time, she is already engaged to Chandler.

When I watched My Best Friend's Wedding and the said Friends episode, I thought it was quite funny how people come up with such idea. I have heard friends in college kidding around as to who should be their backup persons .. hehe.

So, the proposal is would you agree to enter into such agreement wherein you will marry this person if both of you are not yet married when you reach a certain age?

One has to consider many factors.

If you are attached right now, I don't think there's much point in answering such question just to keep you safe from any feedback .. hehe. Iwas kontrobersiya na lang .. hehe

Next is who is that other person? A stranger? A celebrity (wishful thinking)? An acquaintance? A friend? An ex (cannot relate .. hehe)?

Another point to consider is at what age .. malay mo at the age of 80? So, parang sige na nga kasi wala rin namang papupuntahan .. hehe

Pag-single ka and desperate, it may require some time to ponder .. hehe .. If you are afraid of growing old alone, you can't help but think about such question.

Ang tanong .. ano ang sagot ko? Heto ..

First, doubtful that I would agree kasi feeling ko forced. Parang just get married for the heck of it. Kung ganun, just the same walang papupuntahan .. hehe

Second, what if the other person gets married ahead of me? Ai, loser ako pag ganun nangyari. Ang mahirap if iyong other person is yung marrying type tapos ako pa naman ay hindi .. haha ..

Third, ok lang naman sa akin if hindi ako makapag-asawa, I think .. haha .. feeling ko sobra na blessings sa akin and abuso na if hilingin ko pa to .. naks! Pag dumating, why not. Pag hindi, choks lang!

Pero in fairness, medyo nakakaflatter din if may ganitong proposal sa yo .. hehe .. di ba?

Basically, case to case basis lang. Depende sa personality nung 2 taong involved, sa circumstances, sa mind set, etc.

Napaisip rin kayo noh .. hehe
