HELLO WORLD!!!!

Well, that's all I can say after I have not been in my page for some quite a long time already. I know I really miss a lot of friends and associates. Well, that's life and you really just don't know how unpredictable things go. Well, just this morning our exam was postponed. Isn't that great? Duh..well, it might sound tempting but quite frustrating since it's just prolonging the agony. Do you agree? Hmmm..This week was rather useless and awkward for me. Actually, this week marked the most controversial day in Philippine history and I am talking about the election. *sigh* It's just simple I haven't voted and I was so aggravated by this. Hmm..the reason is obvious, my precious right was just squandered for the reason which I felt so acceptable and reasonable but so lame. It's just because I was so slothful to go to the place I was registered. C'mon, it was reasonable. wasn't it? Well, talking about unwarranted raison d'être.

The core reason why I didn't vote was actually the trust was just so minimal and I just can't take the guilt when I cast the last sensible and plausible piece of paper I hoped can change my country. Superficial for a rationale but I am so deep for my cause. I just can't be hypocrite but I already lost my conviction not for the politicians but for the series of events that will happen after and herewith. I know my one vote can change the countenance of our country but the ears can't hear the complains and hullabaloos because it will be just plugged sooner or later again by extreme politicking. Such an endless plead. Empty promises requires empty ballots. I know right now as the ballot counting runs and all the eyes are focused on the election, there's someone right there in the corner benign enough to utter a word of entreaty for not a crumb of bread touched his lips. Can the aftermath promises of politics fill those empty hands and stomach? Or better yet, can politics satiate those unquenchable thirst even with a single drop of fulfillment? Let's be srupulous about it for the hungry populace are the ones suffering. The poor paid the price of their trust. All's well that ends well? Exasperating!

Our country now is undergoing a painful surgery hoping that through this regimen she will be reborn again fresh and dignified. The Filipino people are always vigilant for such a therapy but never an ailment was remedied. The cancer in the society that Rizal talked about was actually lurking in the host and worst of this is it's becoming unvulnerable. The truth is we are like living carcasses waiting for our pathetic end. I hope that as life goes even the hope that the people vigilantly handles will not be robbed from them by those empty politickings. I might sound bias and judgmental but that's what my regard can utter.

I am praying that as each ballot is counted, may each utterance be a ladder that can aid my fellow countrymen to a better country full of hope, with promises fulfilled, with hearts full of patriotism and with souls rekindled again by trust. Let this prayer be our hope.
