election day

its already election day and the office is filled with people asking who will vote later and who they are going to vote. there are a lot of speculation going on that this candidate is a gambler, this one is not helping at all and a lot of other comments that you'll hear from people on the floor once in a while.

its sad though that i will not be able to exercise my right to vote this time. im registered in the province where my dad ran for councilor last election period. right now i just dont have the luxury of time to travel to the province. mainly because the industry that i am with does not actually honor, or should i say celebrate the holidays that we have in the country. its always like were left out whenever there is a holiday coming and everyone else is planning their activities for the long weekend. and we are all left here in manila forcing ourselves to go to sleep coz we still have to go to work later. thats a sad fact that we have to face though.

earlier when i was on my way to work, the road that i know that used to be filled with all sorts of transporation seems like a street from a ghost town. everybody seemed to be either out of town or went to sleep really early to prepare themselves for the election for the following day. i had to wait for a long time before i was able to get a ride to work.

and when i got here, its like ur in a different enviroment. you'll feel like ur in an entirely different region. well, thats what u get for working for americans. they dont even know that its election time here so how the hell should they feel bad for you that ur working just the day before election.

ah well, i just hope that there'll be no violence, or if not, lesser violence at the day of the election itself.

God help us.
