Election Day 2010



This was such a tiring day for the Filipino citizens.

At exactly 9:50 in the morning another voice was heard. It's my first time to vote! It took me 1hour to vote, I actually expect more than that. The excruciating heat never fail to irritate us, but its okay. The looooooooooong and zigzag pile of voters were scattered along the hallway, but its okay. One hour of waiting, again it’s okay. I ready myself for whatever will happen today so I did no complain. I’m really happy the moment when I read the prompt "Congratulations! your vote has been blah blah...” THANK GOD! There's no discrepancies in my ballot my vote has been counted! :) LOL I was really careful in shading the circle! Especially I'm left handed and I might smudge the area I just shaded, thank God it didn't! I'm quite nervous that time haha. LOLOL I do sound like a first timer, true! haha. After I get out of the precinct, you can really see the happiness in my face, I'm relieved. A vote is worth the wait.
Cherry mobile is on SALE. Once you've shown your index finger with indelible ink the cherry mobile worth 1000php will now only be 800php. My auntie bought 2 cherry mobile for this day’s election as a remembrance. LAL
At home watching news, some people were interviewed after voting. And there's this person whose vote was not accepted by the PCOS machine because of the wrong shading and he can’t do anything about it so he just went home :(. Another thing that makes me sad, people who can't take the heat, the long pile and the busted PCOS machines who also went home.
I feel sorry for this people, yet I can't blame them because these scenarios are truly stressing that make us impatient.
My only point is, if you survived the registration in Comelec that took us more than an hour/day and has also the same scenario what more in the Election Day? ...This is a one day sacrifice and after this another 6 years to wait. You'll experience this in just one day, just one day. This is a tropical country what do we expect? We should all be ready for these happenings.
And for the next President, whoever he will be. I hope he’ll be wise enough to raise the country and so improvement and development will never be impossible to attain.

Good luck and God bless the Philippines!
