I've been through a handful of long distance relationships (Philippines-Overseas). Favorite phrase ko pa nga iyong "distance is just time and space". But, they never worked for me...
I once had a relationship from North Metro Manila (am from South MM),- Uwi ko mostly midnight o madaling araw. Have seen all sorts of accidents on the road. Minsan nga it was raining very hard, and I was in the company of 10-wheelers on a flyover at around 2AM and traffic is not moving for about 30 minutes and the bridge is vibrating up and down.... Nakakatakot din...
