Menteri British, di Malaysia Puan Datin Paduka Aisah Ghani, Menteri Kebajikan Masyarakat dan tidak kurang nya seperti jadi Peguam, Kaptan Kapal, Tentera Laut, seperti wanita di Indonesia dan lain-lain jawatan yang tinggi, apakah ini dipandang lemah? Begitulah pendapat gadis sunti yang mengisi ruangan gadis berita keluaran tahun barn 1983 ini. Gadis yang dimak sudkan ialah Cik Magner Maria Philip atau dia lebih suka dipanggil dengan nama penanya "Mar-83" sahaja. Berasal dari daerah Papar, ia dilahirkan kira-kira 19 tahun yang lalu dibawah naungan bintang Libra yang menjadi kesayangan kedua ibu bapa nya.
Bila ditanya apakah benar kaum wanita dipandang lemah oleh setengah-setengah golongan, dengan tidak sabar sabar dia menjawab, dia tidak setuju sama sekali. Sebenarnya peranan wanita adalah sama dengan kaum
lelaki. Bagi pendaptnya, di, zaman dulu, ianya mungkin benar, tetapi di zaman Sains dan Teknoloji ini kaum wanita adalan berlumba-Iumba dengan kaum lelaki iaitu mencabar. Sebagai contoh Puan Indra Ghandi, Perdana Menteri India, Puan Margaret, l>erdana
Sebagai seorang yang pernah mendidik kanak-kanak selama tujuh bulan di sekolah Tadika St. Mary Papar, memang sesuai dengan kegemarannya suka membaca buku-buku Teks untuk rujukan dan menambahkan lagi pelajaran nya disamping mendengar
radio, berkelah, mengemas rumah dan berjogging. Mar-83 memulakan pendidi kan awalnya di sekolah St. Mary Limbahau dan menamat kan sekolah di St. Joseph Papar, hingga tingkatan lima. Dalam segi makanan Mar tidak banyak cerewet, dia tidak memilih makanan asal kan jangan terlalu pedas. Mar-83 baru sahaja bertugas di Kumpulan Yayasan Sabah di bahagian Amanah sebagai kerani dua bulan yang lalu, dan bertukar ke bahagian Operasi Kayubalak sebagai kerani Statistik. Dalam usianya yang masih remaja Mar ingin memijakkan kakinya hingga ke Universiti selain dari membantu adik adiknya dalam persekolahan mereka.
Mengenai soal rumahtangga, belum terlintas lagi di fikiran Mar, tapi ingin mencari teman yang jujur dan setia serta ber tanggongjawap kerana itulah kunci kebahagian bila berumahtangga.
