Ilang taon din ang nakalipas simula ng mawala saamin si Drake. Yes, sa una hindi at mahirap para saamin ang matanggap na wala na siya, hindi kami sanay, lagi naming na i-isip na nasa tabi at kasama lang namin siya. Na ka-ka-miss syempre pero habang tu-ma-tagal, unti-unti na naming na ta-tanggap at unti-unti na kaming na sa-sanay na wala na siya sa tabi namin. Hindi man namin siya na ki-kita, hindi man namin siya na ka-kausap, alam namin na anjan lang siya sa taas, gi-na-gabayan kami sa bawat galaw namin. Mas ok na ang mag pa-hinga siya kesa naman mas mahirapan siya sa sakit niya, at least doon sa taas masaya na siya.

' We miss you so much Drake. '

Sa ilang taong naka-lipas ay naka-graduate na din kami sa wakas, sayang nga lang wala si Drake. Madami kaming pinag daanan bago maging isang ganap na psychologist at nag pa-pa-salamat kami sa panginoon at sa wakas ay isa na kami sa pinaka-sikat na psychologist. Masaya, sa kabila ng mga na pag-daanan naming hirap ay natupad din namin ang aming pangarap.

Kami ni Brylle?

Mag kaibigan nalang kami dahil nahanap niya na talaga 'yung babaeng totoong para sakaniya...

Charot.

Syempre ako 'yung babaeng para sakaniya 'no.

I am now Mrs. Dechaves. Leneyfia Zoe S. Dechaves. I am now his wife and he is now my husband.

Mag-asawa na kami pero Sanchez pa din tawag niya saakin at Dechaves pa din tawag ko sakaniya. Minsan tinatawag niya akong Dechaves two point O. Haynako.

Napa-pa-ngiti nalang ako kapag na-aalala ko ang love story namin, hindi pala siya ma-i-inlove ah.

Nag simula siyang ligawan ako 'nung 4th year college na kami at sinagot ko siya 'nung mismong graduation namin.

Kinasal kami 'nung matapos namin ang Master's degree.

I am now a counseling psychologist while he is now a forensic psychologist.

"Many people I've talked to have expressed hesitation over getting involved with someone, because that person likes them too much. They worry that if they got involved with this person, their own feelings wouldn't evolve, and the other person would wind up getting hurt or feeling rejected. The truth is that love is often imbalanced, with one person feeling more or less from moment to moment. Our feelings toward someone are an ever-changing force. In a matter of seconds, we can feel anger, irritation or even hate for a person we love. Worrying over how we will feel keeps us from seeing where our feelings would naturally go. It's better to be open to how our feelings develop over time. Allowing worry or guilt over how we may or may not feel keeps us from getting to know someone who is expressing interest in us and may prevent us from forming a relationship that could really make us happy." Sagot ko sa una niyang tanong.

"You may also want to consider whether you and your partner have got different ideas on when commitment should be expressed. For some people, the feeling of being committed is something that emerges slowly, over a long period of time, and may be something they're only able to express after they've become well and truly settled in the relationship. If you're after an expression of commitment quite early on, you may need to talk about your different expectations and see if there's a way to meet in the middle or at least to better understand where each other is coming from. This might mean sitting down to have an honest conversation. " Bumuntong hininga ako bago tumingin ulit sa aking pasyente.
