FAMILY OUTING @ LAKE VILLA

It's my mom's birthday yesterday but we chose to celebrate her special day last Saturday. We went to Lake Villa in Tayuman, Rizal. A resort just a few minutes from our home. We've been to this place for a lot of times that's why we're very much accustomed. We were also lucky that the resort was not crowded during our stay. It felt like we had rented a private pool.

The celebration was double the fun since our relatives from Laguna and the family of my brother in law was with us. Of course, mom was the most happy. It's her 78th birthday and she told us she can't ask for more. She was so blessed to have all of us. And she's thankful to God for this wonderful day.

IT'S ALL WORTH IT

Despite all the hardships that I have encountered in yesterday's election, I may say that it was all worth it. It's actually my first time to have experienced waiting in the long lines which took me two hours just to cast my vote. I was a bit discouraged when I started falling in line. I even thought of coming back to home. But then I realized that I wanted to be part of the very first ever poll automation. "Just a little sacrifice", I told myself. Good thing that I was with my sis and her hubby. We started talking with some familiar faces, then meeting new friends. After a few minutes my brother in law bought something to drink 'coz we were really thirsty.

When I'm finally done with my voting, it felt really, really good. After seeing the confirmation in the PCOS machine I felt very relieved and fulfilled.

It was all worth it 'coz I can proudly say that I have taken my part as a responsible Filipino citizen in the first automated election.

Well, let's just hope and pray for the successful result. That the true mandate of the Filipino people will prevail.
