Ultimately, we got together simply with this dialogue:Īnd just like that, we’re back to where we were before. I wasn’t looking forward to going home early to go online for Skype I was thinking of ways to pass the time so that Che might notice I’m still in the office past 6:30PM and might think of asking me out for dinner (or find it as an excuse for me to ask her out). I wasn’t waiting for a call anymore during lunch I was just interested in knowing if Che ate hers already. I wasn’t stalking anyone anymore I just wanted to know what was up with Che’s YM status. Now, my pride didn’t want to eat itself up with those bold claims.īut then it came to a point where I just cared for her more than I could care for anyone else. I said before that I wasn’t going to be getting back with Che, and at the time, it seemed so sure. It mattered now, because my pride is on the line. The other thing that was pulling me back was what people thought. I didn’t want to have my mind drifting away thinking of another person if I was with Che, so though we were in good terms, I didn’t want to ask, I didn’t want to move to another level. I wanted to completely move on from my episode before I can truly pursue Che the second time around. And yes, though I should be the last person in the world who would probably think that that matters, I actually thought it did. Two, I thought about what people might say. One, I thought it was unfair to her, if I came back to her after an episode with another girl.

She’d like to have me back in her life, as I would her, but a couple of factors came to play, at least for me. We were in good terms, but there came a point that we just had to cut all ties to be able to live completely independent from each other.Įventually, we got around to talking again, tried to tie loose ends. It seemed final, and events that transpired between then and now can only attest to the finality of that break up. People around us were caught by surprise with this news, what with most of them knowing us as a couple for most of our acquaintance. She blogged, something she never did, I wrote, as I always did. Anyway, here goes.Ĭhe and I broke up last May, ending what has been a 4 and a half-year relationship. It should’ve been done as soon as it popped in my head, but I didn’t have the chance to write or post it.

Soon, Ketsana was upgraded to a Tropical Storm before passing over the Philippines. It was then upgraded to a tropical depression by the JMA later that morning before the JTWC followed suit early on September 25, designating the depression as 17W. The Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert on the depression. The depression remained weak and was downgraded to a low pressure area later that day by the Japan Meteorological Agency and after drifting through extremely favorable conditions, it intensified the next day and was categorized as Tropical Depression by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration and was given the name Ondoy after entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Ketsana formed early about 860 km (535 mi) to the northwest of Palau on September 23, 2009. It was the most devastating typhoon to hit Manila, surpassing Typhoon Patsy (Yoling) in 1970.

The storm was the sixteenth tropical storm, eighth typhoon and the second major typhoon in the season. Typhoon Ketsana, known in the Philippines as Tropical Storm Ondoy, was the second most devastating tropical cyclone in the 2009 Pacific typhoon season with a damage of $1.09 billion and 747 fatalities, only behind Morakot earlier in the season, which caused 789 deaths and damages worth $6.2 billion.
