What Am I Doing Now?

I feel homesick and bored but there are many things to do like cleaning the house, learning the language, acquiant myself to the new city like going here and there by bus or by train, doing some handicraft stuff, chatting, playing in facebook application, calling friends and families, gossiping about someone and many things. I am not in the mood to do such right now.  I miss my old home. I opened the computer and clicked Pinoytvchannel. I watched news about the coming election in the Philippines. Nothing change during election time in the Philippines. Politics still the dirtiest profession as what they say. Candidates throwing controversies among their rivals, supporters fighting each others and bought buying is all around the country. Sometimes election is  very exciting, thrilling and  scaring event in some parts in the Philippines. Many voters sell their votes to rich candidates. Maybe you are asking how much? Well as I observed and witnessed when I was there, in the local position for a mayor, 500 Pesos is good amount. For this amount a voter can buy food for one week or more? I remember the  last election that I was there, I received 20 Pesos from a candidate for Municipal councilor. He didn´t give it to me directly but he put it inside the pack of snacks (a biscuits and softdrink). Thats the first and last money I got from a candidate throughout my life. I am so ashamed of myself after that. Anyway, I didn´t sell my vote because I am not a registered voter in that place. During the election I was in Mandaluyong City to serve as BEI. Well, I don´t judge these voters who receive money from the candidates, that´s their choice. I know that voters nowadays are wise people.They vote wisely and never sell their votes.They know that these money  spend during election, will get it back when these politicians are in the position. So mga kababayan ko, my countrymen...pls vote wisely for our own future and for the future of the next generation. Choose the one who is God fearing and really have a heart to serve the people and not to be served by the people....We are in Democratic country so our government must be a government for the people, by the people. Again vote wisely.......and goodluck to all deserving candidates.
