| Wifey loved their moist cake so much... |
My day started very early today, about 12:30 a.m. as I shared hot beverages and moist cake with the 2 moms I have in the moment, my wife and mom. Coming from a night shift and with the election being afterwards in the morning, we celebrated Mother's day short but sweet. I just couldn't let the day pass by without giving due appreciation to the mothers who risk their lives just to have us in the world today.
Election day came. We got to our voting precinct just minutes before lunch time. We had our meals before going so my wife and I won't have trouble with hypoglycemia (LOL!!!). We chose such time since not a lot of people wants to vote at noon and most of the voters would be having lunch at that time. And so it was, there were not much people there, though there was still a line of about 20 people in our cluster, but that's very bearable. We just waited for 15 minutes or less, then filled up my ballot for less than a minute, I guess (since I already had my list with me). Our votes were accepted and registered by the designated PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scan) machine... and were done. We just want to thank the Lord that we finished swiftly as hearing a lot of voting related problems nationwide.

| I vote!!! |

| My brother was asking who's complaining about their inked finger? LOL! |
At the end of the day, I find it kind of fulfilling doing my obligation to our country, that is for that moment, to vote. And although, a lot of candidates which I voted for were still not in the top 12 until now (though I'm still crossing my fingers), I still have faith that whatever happens and who ever will become our next leaders, the Lord has reason for everything. I just pray that He guides them, that in everything they do, they think of the greater good and not of that of one's self or the benefit of a few. To Yahweh be the glory always.

| Voted and hoping for the best... |
I never had the chance to exercise my right to choose- Sayang! Hopefully tuloy tuloy na ang Pinas at tama ang papasok sa Magic 12.
ReplyDeletehopefully, those that will be elected will put the power to goodness and make our country's progress faster.. :)
ReplyDeleteI am praying the same thing, hope that POE and BINAY can do something for the Filipinos.
DeleteI wasn't able to vote since I'm registered in my old place. However, I served as a paralegal of one of the candidates for the Congressman position. And it felt great to serve :)
ReplyDeleteLucky your day ended well. But for watchers like me, its a different story. I experienced intimidation and even being confronted by rival's lawyer.
ReplyDeleteI hope your top 12 candidates wins but at least you were able to do your share by voting.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that everything went well on your side while lots were having problems. As for me, I only stayed home on that day. Yes, I didn't vote for two reasons, I chose not to and time didn't allow me to for some more important tasks. It will also take me 4 to 5 hours travel from the city to my hometown, and even if I'll drag myself out of my room, I still wouldn't make it.
ReplyDeletesame. The candidates I voted are not on the rank too.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice that you are keeping a positive attitude on the elections - I am among the hot-headed people ready to jump on the stupid people who voted the current line up :D
ReplyDeletewell, cheers to us for some success in fulfilling our rights and obligation to our country. I had an easy time voting too!
ReplyDeleteThough the computerized election is not yet perfect, It's a big improvement from the manual process.
ReplyDeleteyay! for voting :-) good for you :-) I hope that your candidates will win :-) Belated Happy Mother's Day to your wife and to your Mama :-)
ReplyDeleteThe elections went well. But the results are rather disappointing. Most of my senatorial candidates did not make it to the top 12. :/
ReplyDeleteI also voted last elections. Although I was unhappy with some of the results it is still a duty of the citizens to do so.
ReplyDelete...that was quick 15 minutes! I heard stories of people who waited for 7 hours!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope God intervenes.. and save our country from some more corruption!
It is great to exercise our right of suffrage. Haven't voted for many years in Pinas now that I'm not there. But I hope those that wins the election will be true to their promise to the people.
ReplyDeleteThe Election 2013 was a mess, most of my bets didn't enter the Magic 12
ReplyDeleteYou are quite a good husband and son Sir. Celebrating mother's day in a sweet way. And about the votes, I just hope the winning candidates will do their obligation for the love of their countrymen.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up. As a citizen of the country, you are doing your duty as such by exercising your right to vote.
ReplyDeleteKahit wala man sila sa Top 12, at least you voted and used your democratic rights.
