Barangay Elections 2007
October 29th, 2007
I did not vote. Although I promised myself I will, I wasn’t able to because I slept really late due to papers and other research works I have to do. I was really grumpy earlier when my mom woke me up, (my headaches were at it again) so I told her I won’t vote, and buried my head back into the soft recesses of my pillows and covered myself up with my favorite blanket. I woke up for lunch and after eating, I went to my parents bedroom to watch another talk show where the usual topics are about women, celebrities and snippets of Hollywood buzz like, Los Angeles liposuction, recent gossips, divorces and flings and the usual drama. I was distracted by the noise coming from outside so I peeked on the window to see what the commotion was about. It seems lots of people have flocked to wait for the results of the barangay elections.
The election precinct in our compound is very visible through the windows in my parents bedroom and its just weird since its not everyday that lots of people are in the compound. Now lots of vendors have taken the opportunity to sell their goods, especially cold drinks and steaming grilled chicken and pig parts (well mostly their insides like their intestines, liver and gizzards) to quench the thirsty and hungry poll watchers and supporters of each political candidate.
I wonder who will win as our barangay captain as well as our councilors? Hopefully those whose intentions are really of service to their constituents.

@Ambo: I did forget about SK. xD Since I’m past the age for SK voting, I only remembered the barangay one.

I only voted for the captain. My mom got angry with me because I wrote the names of fairy tale characters like pinocchio, cinderella etc on the ballot instead of the seven councilors. hahaha… butI saw the wisdom of my mom, my vote is sacred… well can you blame me if everypone I know who is running for the position is either a drunkard, nagger, gossiper or stand bys? well next time I won’t do it again… hehe.
BTW thanks for replying to my queries on the forum. I really appreciate that.

@bluepanjeet: haha, I don’t blame you. These days I’m not inspired to vote anymore since the choices are all the same. A lot of them are interested on the perks and trickle down gifts from the palace it seems. Its just sad how elections are bringing out the worst in people. They bicker, gossip, bribe and kill people just to get a position. Most of them are now in it for the money. -sigh-
No problem, I’m glad I can be of help.
I’ve checked the link and commented on your post. 
God Bless!

same here, Nika. i also chose not to vote. i didn’t really know any of the candidates. anyone can make a campaign pamphlet but that won’t change a TRAPO at heart.
