Voting experience

Woah woah woah

Early morning my brother tried to wake me up so that we'll be able to vote early but I stayed at the bed.
They proceeded to the school leaving me behind still laying on my not-so-comfy bed - it's very hot actually.

Minutes later I got up and get ready to go to school, proceed to my assigned precinct - I already knew where my precinct is through the COMELEC website. When I got there, I was kinda shocked!!! The line was super duper long. Luckily, I got a lower priority number 196 because the long line I saw when I arrived was not for the priority number. It a long line for nothing. Good thing I did not stand in there waiting for nothing.

It took me almost 3 hours to wait and viola, I was able to vote. In my first try, the PCOS machine accepted my ballot. I feel I became part of one of the kind event - the first automated election of the Philippines.

I pray that it will be peaceful and the winning candidates will do their jobs very well. And for the others who were not lucky enough to get their post, they may able to accept their defeat - better luck next time.


Ciao!!!

So Annoying!!!

Do you have a person close to you that is so irritating?

He seems very observant and I think it is one of the good qualities of a programmer to have. It can help you find some errors that you yourself can’t find on your own. But sometimes instead of being an instrument for a better result, I can find him irritating because he criticizes every explanation that you are trying to imply just to satisfy his questions or observations.

Or maybe it is just me. I don’t know why. It’s been like this for a week now. And I hate it. There are some times that I’d like to ask him some questions but I do not want to hear those words again that irritate my ears. We are in a non-terminating cycle discussing over a same single matter. It has been like this almost every day last week.

And now this week, I already said to myself that I’d better find it out on my own. He doesn’t know anything about this anyway as he always implies during our conversation. It is no use to ask him. So better yet, ask those people who know something about what I am doing. Unfortunately, they are from the other part of the world and replies would eventually come a day after.

I’m sorry if I may act childish or selfish or naïve or whatever you may call it. But I am only expressing what I feel right now. He is really annoying!

To person whom I am referring to in this blog, I am really sorry. But I just want you to know that the way you act is no longer helping. I am telling you this now so that you may know what we see and feel about you and correct it. People around you will no longer find you approachable if you continue to be like that. I am still a friend that is why I am telling you this frankly. (BTW, I already talked to him personally.)

You may ask why I posted this blog. Well, it is just one of my ways of expressing my inner feelings. It is just like shouting at the top of my lungs all the bad feelings I have. I didn’t mention a name here, so you’re safe. I am not also directing ‘he’ as a guy but ‘he’ as a person. I used ‘he’ since it is generally used to represent a person – a human being.

Anyway to all readers, hope you don’t find this post offensive. As I’ve said, I am just expressing my feelings. Thank you very much.
