Trusting thy Self

So a day before I turn 27 this year I received a simple advice
 from our former manager Sir Boy Barbs...

 

Though his message was short and simple it really hit me
and made me realized that I really need to do something with all my
plans in life.  True indeed that there are so many skills I want to learn,
so many places I want to explore and so many things I want to do, but what's stopping me?
FEAR. 

For years I let fear control my life.  Fear that I might do or say something wrong,
fear that they might not accept my ideas, fear about what my life would be if
I left my comfort zone and more...

So what now?  I know it is easy for me to write or say  something about me going out from my shell or from my comfort zone and everything.  But now I need to declare to myself that I need to do something.   I need to push my self more.  I need to go beyond my horizon.  And most important,  I need to TRUST my self more.

Election Time!!!

Election time again here in the Philippines and from my previous experience I have learned a very important lesson - BE EARLY.

So together with my younger sister Gladys, we went to our precinct at around 6:30 in the morning.  It was already easy for us to look for the classroom where we are going to vote since there was already a map at the entrance of the school and we already know our precinct number.

Well, there were already few voters at our precinct but we were lucky enough to be one of the first batch to vote.

The voting process was easy and fast especially that we already have a list of candidates in our hands, all we have to do was to shades the circle and feed our ballots to the PCOS machine.

Though everything was smooth in my own experience, I still can't give a two thumbs up if I were to rate this year election.  There are still other precinct who experience some problems with their PCOS machine, other places experienced some block out, election related crimes are still happening and vote buying still exist in every corner of our country.  Still these matters are unresolved and honestly we can't say that this year was a 100% clean and honest election.

Now, who's going to win is not only my concern today but WHO'S GOING CLEAN AND REMOVE ALL THE POSTERS IN OUR COMMUNITY is also one of it..

Upcoming 2013 National and Local Election

Who deserves my vote?????

I think most of us right now have the same question as I do.  Who are the deserving candidates in our country today?  But I guess before we could answer this question we have to answer first a certain question...Who are the candidates for various national and local position?

In order for me to get an answer to this one, I simply went to the COMELEC official website.

The site would be a great help for you as it did for me.  I was able to check the list of candidates for national, regional, provincial and even local positions for this upcoming 2013 election.  Through the site I was able to get information about my precinct, where I'll be voting and even print a sample ballot as my guide on Monday.

So with the list of candidates on my hand. I simply went through some forums and sites where I could check certain candidates.  To be honest, I really have a hard time completing my list that even today I still need 5 names of deserving senators...  I just hope I'll be able to complete my list before Monday.
