Read on.

 

FIRST SESSION

Psychologist: So, tell me something about yourself.

 

Happy: I’m Happy—Happy Valenciano, born on the 23rd of December, years ago. I am taking up Political Science in UPDiliman but I want to shift to Journalism. I am eldest in a brood of four. I don’t know how to cook. I hate spiders. I don’t like garlic. I love shoes and bags and bangles. Bangles sounds like bagels, I adore onion bagels.

 

Psychologist: Is that all?

 

Happy: Want me to add more? That’s not all I’ve got.

 

Psychologist: Tell me, do I want to hear more? sarcastic

 

Happy: I don’t think so. Let’s just get straight to the point?

 

Psychologist: And the point is?

 

Happy: I’m here because of my boyfriend. Well not actually, I was the one who nagged him about this therapy sessions.

 

Psychologist: Tell me something about your boyfriend.

 

Happy: He’s name is Jasper, as you may know. He means everything to me. I love him so bad that I would do anything and everything for our relationship to work. And I know it will work, we just have to sort some things out because he has a problem.

 

Psychologist: Is that so?

 

Happy: Yes. That’s how I see and feel it. May problema siya kaya nagkakaproblema kami.

 

Psychologist: What do you mean by nagkakaproblema kami?

 

Happy: Jasper has a problem. He becomes quiet in a sudden. And being quiet in a sudden is a sign of dilemma.

 

Psychologist: Meaning?

 

Happy: Meaning, Jasper is the problem? Yes. He is.

 

SECOND SESSION

Psychologist: Where were you?

 

Happy: In his car, along EDSA.

 

Psychologist: Why don’t you want him quiet?

 

Happy: I came here to answer that?

 

Psychologist: nods

 

Happy: I want him to talk, to say something. Being in the car with my man means that it is our uninterrupted couple time! It’s the best time for us to talk about us… or some stuff.

 

THIRD SESSION

Psychologist: What do you do after a fight?

 

Happy: A lot of things.

 

Psychologist: Like?

 

Happy: What? Do I have to tell you how he turns me on after a fight?

 

Psychologist: What do you think?

 

Happy: blushes Sometimes we do it. Sometimes I send him out of the condo or I leave the condo.

 

Psychologist: Which do you prefer to do?

 

Happy: I send him out or I leave. Either of the two.

 

Psychologist: Why?

 

Happy: I need time to think. I need time to reflect on what just happened. I wanna weigh things—be aware of the things that made him mad and know the things that made me mad. You know, you can’t just move on. You must mull on what has just transpired and learn from what you’ve mulled on. Right?

 

FOURTH SESSION

Psychologist: What do you want to do first thing in the morning?

 

Happy: It’s a big day ahead, so I have to bond with my man first. He’s like the fuel that keeps me going.

 

Psychologist: ‘yun ba ang nangyayari sa condo niyo in Libis?

 

Happy: Hindi.

 

Psychologist: So what happens?

 

Happy: Sometimes he removes his clothes.

 

Psychologist: Then?

 

Happy: Goes to hit the shower right away, leaving me behind longing for him! It’s early in the morning for everybody’s sake. It is the perfect time to bond with your partner. Exchange thoughts, sweet somethings, hugs, kisses and maybe cuddle up. It’s a time for bonding. Another one of those uninterrupted couple time.

 

FIFTH SESSION

Psychologist: Saan ka niya dinate?

 

Happy: Sa Dusit.

 

Psychologist: Hotel?

 

Happy: We had dinner there.

 

Psychologist: What was the highlight of your date?

 

Happy: The meaningful talks—the couple time.

 

Psychologist: Why?

 

Happy: We talk about our marriage, future marriage. It’ll be in the Baguio Cathedral. I’ll have my gown made by Rajo Laurel and his tux by Randy Ortiz. We’ll have four kids, two girls and two boys. The house would be fenced by black iron embedded on granite bricks.

 

Psychologist: Rate the evening. 1 is the lowest. 10 the highest.

 

Happy: -5.

 

Psychologist: Bakit? Dahil nag-away kayo?

 

Happy: Opo. Dahil ang gusto niya na lang pag-usapan e ‘yung French-inspired cuisine na feature nung menu. Dahil ang alam niya na lang sabihin ay kung gaano ako kaganda nung gabing ‘yun at para na siyang sirang plaka sa kakaulit nun. Is it wrong to plan my future with him? I want him in my future. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. I want the rest of my life to begin now.

 

SIXTH SESSION

Psychologist: How do you handle your problems?

 

Happy: Jasper’s and mine?

 

Psychologist: Yes.

 

Happy: I hold a sleepover. Talk it over with my beshies. I ask help from them. I seek advice. I want to hear their opinion.

 

Psychologist: You don’t keep it to yourself? Or try to find a solution for it?

 

Happy: No. Women are irrational creatures. I go to women for advices—another set of irrational ideas. It becomes rational when it comes out of several heads. What my beshies think is rational, they’re in their right irrational mind and I am in my wrong irrational mind.

 

Psychologist: How does Jasper handle your problems?

 

Happy: Oh, he keeps it to himself. He pretends like he’s superman or someone else, able to solve everything at hand, well in fact he can’t. Why can’t he just admit it that he can not solve the problem. He doesn’t have the answer to all those issues and my beshies have the answers to those. Why can’t he just spill it out so that there would be pretensions no more. It is humiliating to pretend and pretend.

 

Psychologist: Will you kill him for that?

 

Happy: Hell yes.

CONCLUSION

Women live for the moment. Living for the moment means anticipating and and getting ready for the future. Women are futuristic animals, they see what’s beyond while men only see what is right before their eyes. Women need lots of attention. They’re attention-seeking animals. They expect too much from someone because they trust that someone a lot. Women are never calm, they might pretend to be calm, but in the inside their heart is pounding hard like the drums used in the UAAP CDC. Women need lots of time too. They think a lot. They plan. They think of what ifs, what might have been and the like. They end up like psycho creatures that all they think about is pleasing their man, that’s why they give all their attention, all their love to their men, but too much of it drives their men away but women do not see that. Women are in horse blinds, all they is that which is ahead and not that which is in their peripheries.

I went to the psychologist… because my girl thinks something is wrong.

Not anymore if you keep on reading.

 

FIRST SESSION

Psychologist: So, tell me something about yourself.

 

Jasper: Well, my name is Jasper Yñiguez. I’m a student from DLSU taking up Developmental Studies.

 

Psychologist: Is that all?

 

Jasper: Not really.

 

Psychologist: Tell me more then.

 

Jasper: Okay. I don’t really have time for this. Let’s go straight to the point.

 

Psychologist: And the point is?

 

Jasper: I’m here because of my girlfriend.

 

Psychologist: Tell me something about your girlfriend.

 

Jasper: Uhmm… she’s… well… We have a problem.

 

Psychologist: Is that so?

 

Jasper: Ewan. ‘yun ang sabi niya e. I never really know.

 

Psychologist: What do you mean by you never really know?

 

Jasper: I don’t know if we really have troubles. Ginagawa ko part ko which is to be her boyfriend. But she keeps on insisting that there’s something to fix in us.

 

Psychologist: Meaning?

 

Jasper: There’s something wrong because she said so.

 

SECOND SESSION

Psychologist: Where were you?

 

Jasper: In my car, along EDSA.

 

Psychologist: Why were you so quiet?

 

Jasper: I came here to answer that?

 

Psychologist: nods

 

Jasper: I was quiet because I was at peace. I was at peace because my girl was with me. What could I ask for? This is just one of those moments wherein I can chill, be quiet, be at peace in my car with my girl. And nothing tops chillin’, being quiet and peaceful with my girlfriend. It’s a quiet and peaceful time to me with her.

 

THIRD SESSION

Psychologist: What do you do after a fight?

 

Jasper: A lot of things.

 

Psychologist: Like?

 

Jasper: Do I have to be very specific in what we do after a fight?

 

Psychologist: What do you think?

 

Jasper: sigh Sometimes we do it. Sometimes she sends me out of the condo or she leaves the condo.

 

Psychologist: Which do you prefer to do?

 

Jasper: Siyempre, hindi na tinatanong ‘yan. I wanna do it with her.

 

Psychologist: Why?

 

Jasper: Simple lang, past is past. What’s done is done. Move on. If we fight over a thing and mull on it for the next days, nothing’s gonna change the fact that we fought. The fight occurred and the best way to, at least, somehow, overlap the fight is to move on. You know, get naked, have sex, make up.

 

FOURTH SESSION

Psychologist: What do you want to do first thing in the morning?

 

Jasper: It’s a big day ahead, so I have to plan. I must see to it that I smooth things out in my schedule.

 

Psychologist: ‘yun ba ang nangyayari sa condo niyo in Libis?

 

Jasper: Hindi.

 

Psychologist: So what happens?

 

Jasper: Sometimes she pulls me back to the bed.

 

Psychologist: Then?

 

Jasper: She starts hugging me. Kissing me. She starts this annoying thing like, whispering sweet notings. I mean, there is a time for that but not when you have day ahead. Not in the morning—not topping the list of your priorities for the big day ahead.

 

FIFTH SESSION

Psychologist: Saan mo siya dinate?

 

Jasper: Sa Dusit.

 

Psychologist: Hotel?

 

Jasper: We ate dinner there.

 

Psychologist: What was the highlight of your date?

 

Jasper: The food and my girl.

 

Psychologist: Why?

 

Jasper: The food was really delicious. The menu was French inspired so, you know. And Happy was really beautiful.

 

Psychologist: Rate the evening. 1 is the lowest. 10 the highest.

 

Jasper: 15.

 

Psychologist: Let me remind you, nag-away kayo.

 

Jasper: Well yeah. We fought because she wants to talk about getting married, how many children I want, what their names would be, what paint should I apply on the fence of the house we’ll live in. We just started college and she talks about that. I’m in my 2nd year and my girl talks about a black iron fence embedded on granite bricks. How pathetic could that be?

 

SIXTH SESSION

Psychologist: How do you handle your problems?

 

Jasper: Mine? Or ours?

 

Psychologist: Happy’s and yours.

 

Jasper: I keep it to myself. I think about it. I try to find possible solutions to it. I see to it that I have back-up plans.

 

Psychologist: You don’t ask for help? Don’t seek advice?

 

Jasper: No. Men are rational. Men are calm. Combine calmness and rationality and you have a genius.

 

Psychologist: How does Happy handle your problems?

 

Jasper: I hate how she handles the problems. She tells everything to her friends. She holds a sleepover somewhere that all her beshies attend to and there she spills every detail about the problem. The point is, our problem is publicized. It was meant to be private but is made public by the girl I love. I feel like she’s humiliating me. It’s destroying our image not just as an individual but as a couple.

 

Psychologist: Will you kill her for that?

 

Jasper: Hell no.

 

CONCLUSION

Men are creatures who live in the moment. Living in the moment means capturing every detail of the present situation. Men do not like it when their girls starts talking marriage and all that. Men are creatures who have no sense of commitment-they don’t want to be committed, they don’t like being tied or glued into something that would make them less of a man. A man feels like he becomes less manly when his girl talks about commitment to him, when his girl wouldn’t want to do the deed with him, he becomes less of a man when he starts to spill his problem or when he talks about emotions and something deeper. We have to admit it. Men are superficial animals and that’s what’s making them tick. You like a man because of his gorgeous eyes. You love a man because of what those eyes see. And what they see is nothing but calm ocean here and there and everywhere. That’s probably the reason why women feel secure when they’re with their man. It’s the calmness that makes it as if everything as in everything will be all right and good. Men are less expressive than women. As a matter of fact, men, well some, think that saying “i love you” is the same with making love. Men adore what women do not-men adores what’s superficial and women adore what’s beyond superficial.
