Its been awhile since the last time I was in an ER. Last nite, Monday, turned out to be my latest visit….but no…I didn’t have spotting or anything like that (haha). I was walking back home around past 11pm when a gym friend (lets call him “pipo”) sent me a text message asking me to accompany him to the hospital. So no matter how tired I was, I just couldn’t say no to such critical requests. Turned out, pipo had another “one of those” arguments with partner. and to make the long story short, in a fit of anger brought about by this LQ, “pipo” decided to hit the wall real hard using his right fist. Ergo, fearing he mustve damaged his wrist and / or humerus (arm bones), since he can barely move it already. It was swollen when I met him around 1130pm.
The closest hospital near my place was Ospital ng Makati. Brought pipo in the ER section and after a few initial questions, we were informed that they don’t accept credit cards! (what the @*%$#!)!!! we didnt have any cash that nite and the only way to pay was thru plastic cards. Wonder what theyd do if it were a real real emergency situation?!? Anyway we proceeded to Makati Med which , I know, accepts credit card payments. After about an hour of waiting and doin the usual ER processes + X ray, we were glad to know there was no major damage on his wrist / arms. We left ER around 130am with his bandaged fist + prescription, and YES paid the bills using credit card!
Around 2am, as I finally hit the sack after a very long day, I cant help but ponder on some things:
>can true love really endure all the unlikely traits of your partner?
>until when can love endure all these imperfections?
>how much is too much?
>when does emotional pain become too heavy to bear esp when love is still there?
>when do u know its time to stay out of a relationship and when to continue fighting for it?
> is it alright to set expectations on what you want to see /feel from your partner or you just let him be the person that he is?
LOVE questions. LOVE complications. LOVE realizations.

hey, jer. yihee, see, commenting now.
i hardly qualify to answer, but the best "insight" I've come across is that (the good kind of) love should make you want to be a better version of yourself. I guess that can pretty much answer the questions up there?
They say what doesn't bend, breaks. Well, what bends can only bend so much, then break, so let's make sure we never reach that point?
did my rambling make sense as it did in my head? this is what drinking coffee at 2am can do to you.
