the two faces of man:
the voter and the mocker
tse!
Suspence. Thrill. Excitement. High blood pressure. Exhausting. That' how our voting system here in our place. Me and my mom went to the school at exactly 8am. We part ways as we're registered in different precint numbers. It's 10 am and I'm still outside the room packed with juicy-stingy-angry voters as myself.
"I'm just checking out my name on the list, ate. I won't overtake your line"
I said to the angry presumably a senior woman in front of me.
I was excited to be part of the first automated election on the Philippines. Way back six years ago, I was 18 then when I first exercise my right to vote. Aside from enjoying my freedom as an adult, it was pretty good thing to know that I, being just a single entity in the country, be given a chance to count what I'm about to say. Just like writing this blog.
I stared at the PCOS machine while an official placed my ballot on it.
Verifying...
Congratulations, your voting has counted!!
"Wow, Congratulations!" I screamed. And people around me managed a smile. Thumbmark. Indelible ink. Presto. It's 12 in the afternoon when finished my sacrifice.
"Mom, are you home?" I called at home with a joyful voice behind the line.
"After all, seniors had benefits. Though I'm not, they presumed, I benefited. Haha."
Whatta relief. 'thought she walked away. We've got few hours left, let's all vote! :wink:

We became accountable not only for ourselves but for our country as well. Buti na lang di ko na experience yung haba ng pila, singitan at tulakan. Congratulations! Hehe
Neng, lumipat ka na pala ng bahay, malayo layo ang nilipatan mo ha, at mataas ang pader. hehe CONGRATS sa new e-house mo... Base ba ko? :)
Maraming salamat sa iyong pakikiisa sa halalan.
Bakit naman lumipat ka ng bahay? Iniwan mo na ba si Ax?
I'm glad that you participated in the recent elections in our country. It's a very good thing.
