We voted!

My husband and I didn't bother to change our election precincts, so we have to vote in different cities. Anyway, we can't vote at the same time anyway, since somebody has to stay home with the kids.

He texted me earlier this morning saying that it's chaotic out there. So many people, no organization at all. He almost gave up voting.

My brother and I went to our precinct around lunch time. We were initially very confused as to where we would line up, but once we figured everything out, it was pretty smooth sailing. No need for wrinkle creams for us, LOL. It took us about 1 hour, from start to finish, which is not bad, I reckon.

I guess it has something to do with the other people. I have to admit that the voters in my precinct are mostly in the upper and middle class, mostly educated people. Which would probably account for the orderliness of the whole process in our place.

Next thing to hope for is that there would be no problems with the counting. Oh Lord, please make this election as smooth as possible.

Election 2010 looms

In about 2 weeks, we are going to vote for another group of people who are going to lead this country for the next six years. We're not just voting for the president and the vice president, but also for 12 senators, our local congressmen, governors, mayors and councilors. Whew! That's a long list!

As usual, we hope that the chosen ones would not fail us but would really, really prove to be strong leaders who take their responsibilities to serve their constituents seriously. We hope that we've seen the last of politicians who promise the sun, the moon and the stars when they are still courting votes but forget all about those promises once they've been installed in position. We hope they are sincere. Like say, bpi training for candidates who claim to be environmentally aware and friendly -- I mean, they should know what they're talking about and not just talk about something just because it's the stand that's popular.

Let's pray for a successful election in which the leader that we need will eventually emerge the winner.
