They both promise to stay together, to have a happy family once they tie the knot. He believes that Jenny thinks the same way. For Eric, Jenny is the only woman he will love forever. He cannot accept the fact that his girlfriend, Jenny, breaks up with him, for she finds another man. (snickering) Do I sound affected? Not that! I just want to sympathize with Eric I am a student of Psychology.

If you do, probably, you do not apply it to your understanding the people just the like of Eric. Well, I cannot blame you if you have no background in psychology. Probably, you might say that you feel like knocking the living daylight of him. He even involves the people like Ariel Rivera and Michael Bolton and inanimate things who have nothing to do with his “pathetic” life. Eric, the man in the story, is almost exaggerated. If you are a sensible person- let us say a pragmatic person- you might find the lines above “corny” or OA ( overacting). Which of those things in the lines above you HATE most? I HATE smiles and kisses, whispered sweet nothings, hands held tight, embraces and sex. I HATE roller coaster rides, double movie seats, motels and strawberry flavored condoms. They sing about Love…about SACRIFICE…yet they don’t know what the Hell they’re talking about. I hate Michael Bolton and Whitney Houston and Ariel Rivera songs. I hate walks in the park, dates, and beach outings. I hate Sleepless in Seattle and Forest Gump.I hate Garfield and Snoopy and Ziggy, Mickey Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck, Sesame Street and Jollibee Mascots. I hate ninja turtles and Archie and the little mermaid and beauty and the beast. I hate red hearts and red shirts and red shoes. I hate birthdays and cakes, candies, choc-nut bars and pin the tail on the donkey games.

I hate dashing grooms and blushing brides. “Why are you doing this to us? “, said the bride held hostage by Eric, along with her groom inside the car.
