From a First Time Voter

From a 1^st time Voter…

Hahaha!!!! At last!!! I knew what it feels to have a dirty finger!!! Waaaahahaha!!!

Wala lang tong post na toh, magkwekwento lang ako… about.. hmm… well basahin mo na lang.. ^^

The day before the election, eh tradition na ni ate bumili ng bulletin every Sundays, so I’ve read an article from their mini magazine, Panorama ata yun, *hhehehe di alam eh noh*, and natuwa ako dun sa article written by… uhm…. I forgot the writer pero girl sya… about sa first time voter yung article nya. Letter style yung article, a virgin voter who writes to a candidate in the election. She said everything what it feels like to be a voter, she mentioned what a candidate always memorize during campaign, the status of the voter, and other issues which awakened my awake soul. At the end of her letter she said that her vote is not for sale. From a professional writer, no big deal why she had written it so sticky to the eye for like me a first timer, though I don’t know who really cares, but at least I care *naks*. Ang galing. Simple pero rock. I hope you read it also. Magbasa ka kasi, hmp!

Edi yun, the next day, the big day of reuniting the country *ow?*, election day. I am proud to say that I am a first time voter, and its all been worth it for my time to go to our school and vote wisely. Wala na kong naging problems unlike ng mga reports sa TV, missing names, relocation of the voters and other ek-ek… Lucky me, my name is on the exact precinct they assigned to me. So syempre, di naman maiiwasan makita yung mga teachers na naging sandalan ko during high school, so yun konting kamustahan, while doing stuffs for election, getting my thumb mark then my signature. I seated on one of the chairs, casted my vote, no erasures and especially no blanks, then shit, time to have my first dirty finger… sabi ko nga kay Ma’am kontian lang eh, pero medyo marami pa rin yung nilagay nya… huhuhu…. Ayos!

Ha ano yun? Sino binoto ko? Secret ata yun eh…

Anyway, I mostly voted the candidates from Genuine Opposition, I think two independent candidates, then others are from Team Unity… I really like to vote Chiz, I adore him everytime I watched him in TV, because damn, he speaks soooo…. POWERFUL… galing nya mag debate, and his words are carefully arranged and very well said.. So as Legarda, a beautiful woman with a clean image and proven her service. Yung ibang candidates were dictated by my friends and family, 9 senatorial candidates originally or personally decided by me, then 3 of them are I think base on ‘who sounds good’, more or less popularity counts. Let’s not talk about the local candidates shall we? As if naman na mag care ka pa… eh di mo naman sila kilala…

Super sad nga lang, kasama tayo sa isa sa mga bansa na may ‘eewww politics’… as in.. excited pa naman ako bumoto, pero nakaka inis ang daming nangyayaring dayaan after.. and nahuhuli na watchers of flyers or endorsers or campaigners na hindi alam yung rules and regulations, and hindi man lang inaalagaan ng candidates na humahawak sa kanila pag nahuli sila, super deny ang candidate… grabeh grabeh talaga… kung anu anong siraan sa mga candidates yung nangyayari… hay kelan ba magbabago mga Pilipino.. nakakainis talaga…. Why people do such things para lang sa pera, ganun na ba kababa tong lupa kung san ako nakatuntong… I believe na may pag asa pa tayo, need lang na makialam yung mga youth like us *naks kasali daw ako*, alam nyo yun, 1 vote is a big count, kahit na hindi ko nakikita yung progress or nafifeel man lang, I want to be part of one of the uniting events a democratic country can offer, it is my right, and I choose to fight for it… *naks* So kayo, sana maging concern din kayo, walang magbabago kung gaganyan ka na lang lagi, tatay ko nga nasa ibang lupa, pero he still cares…

Ayun lang.. sana lang tamaan kayo, and will vote for the next election…

Waaahhh!!! Ang dumi ng kuko ko!!! Shef! Amf!!! >_<
