POLITICAL ADS, VOTING, MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATION AND STAR CITY
campaign period is officially over...no more political ads will be shown on TV (horay!). Just seeing this "infomercials" kuno by candidates makes me think of how much money they put into campaign. and in return how much money they should corrupt in order to fund campaign 3 years from now and of course to get back whatever money they have spent for this year's election.
But do this ads or infomercial really help a voter get to know a candidate? do we vote for them bec of what the ad tells us or we vote for them bec we like the jingle (like that of pia cayetano,mar roxas and enrile), on how they did the infomercial or even because we are a fan of the celebrity endorsing the candidate? I hate that of osmena the most...why do we have to thank him that we have cellphones? di naman sya ang bumili ng cell ko =P isa pa, whatever bills/laws senators make we shouldn't be thankful for because they are paid (with the taxes that we pay) to make laws. TRABAHO nila yun!

so how am i voting this year....i believe this is the first time i am voting intelligently. in the past (i have voted for a total of 4 times already including barangay election since i turned 18), i voted on who was "sikat"--except for ERAP. as i go to the voting precinct later, i am guided by the following criteria: 1. character of candidate; 2. competence; and 3. consistency of candidate. And before writing on that ballot sheet, i vow to pray first and ask for guidance from God.

celebrated mother's day this year with dinner at little asia (yummy food) and dessert at go nuts donuts (you go nuts over the donuts). it was a fun time with relatives again as usual. im really proud to be part of a close knit family. i guess i'm not just proud but happy....how do we celebrate father's day?? =)

it's been years since i last went to star city, since enchanted kingdom opened i haven't gone to any other theme park. so when i heard that they have airconditioned the place, i have always looked forward to the day i go to the star city. NOT ANYMORE!!!! i went there saturday night with edsel since we were trying to kill time since i wanted to go to dangwa to buy flowers for the mommies. with no other place to go, and since we were in the area we decide to go and see for ourselves the new star city. at first it was cool--bec the place is cold and may mga tiangge. when i saw the rides i thought, kaya ko ito--chicken! hindi pala. i didn't get scared of the loop of the zyklon loop or the drop in their version of log jam, natakot ako kasi parang ikamamatay ko ang pagsakay bec i just didn't feel safe. feeling ko mahuhulog ako sa seat ko. i just didn't feel safe. moral of the story--never go back to STAR CITY!
