ELECTION 2010

As a first time voter, I was so excited to cast my votes last election and these are my observations in this so-called "automated election".

1. Sana lang mas maraming Pilipino ang responsible smokers. I almost collapsed sa dami ng usok na na-absorb ko nung election day. Naawa ako ng sobra sa lungs ko. :(
2. Sana din mas naging organized ang COMELEC lalo na ngayon na bagong proseso ang ginamit sa pagboto. Ang gulo-gulo ng pila dun sa precinct ko.
3. Sana uli mas maraming Pilipino rin ang marunong sumunod sa instructions para hindi na naging masyadong chaotic at maingay yung pila. Na-stress ako ng husto sa ingay! :p
4. Sana rin hindi ganun ka-sensitive na machine yung kinuha ng COMELEC para sa election na 'to. Majority of voters kasi are senior citizens or going there na so hindi na sila halos makakita.
5. Na-observe ko rin na parang parusa pa ang pagboto, parang burden. Ang haba ng pila, ang init, ang usok... Gosh! If I'm not THAT responsible Filipino enough, aalis na lang ako at di na lang boboto. Kaya lang I have to vote kasi nga responsable ako. :p
6. Truly, youths are the most underestimated population in the election. It's sad to know that only few Filipino youths are truly concerned in the future of our country.
7. Sadly, the people in our town is still practicing the "pera-pera lang yan" system. Selling their votes to a small amount of money which will only last for few days in exchange of 3 year uncertainty. But that's the dirty reality of politics, sad but true. :p
8. Now that political circus is over, sana lang ay magkaisa na ang lahat sa pagpapa-unlad ng bayan. Suportahan lang :)
9. Ok, I admit I have doubts in this PCOS machines that the COMELEC used and I even predicted failure of elections but in all fairness, it's been a healthy and fair election. Plus it's very fast because the results are there agad so the wait for who the winners are is not that long. Ang haba nga lang ng pila. :p Bonus feature pa ang mga funny tweets ni PCOS Machine :)
10. I sincerely pray for a better, prosperous, and progressive Philippines this 2010 and the years to come. Though my presidential bet didn't win, my support for the new president will always be there.

Congratulations to our NEW LEADERS.
And cheers to a NEW PHILIPPINES :) :) :)

PS: it's nice to be back to blogging again :)
