My Vote is My Future

The following are the people I would like to serve me for the next few years:

Paredes, Zosimo Jesus
Zubiri, Juan Miguel
Trillanes, Antonio
Sison, Adrian
Lacson, Panfilo
Bautista, Martin
Escudero, Francis
Defensor, Michael
Pangilinan, Francis
Arroyo, Joker
Cantal, Felix
Coseteng, Anna Dominique

When I voted for these people, I felt a bit guilty. You see it took me less than 3 minutes to come up with this list. Although Sison, Paredes, Bautista, Escudero, Trillanes, and Defensor have long been in my list. The others are just a product of a 3 minute contemplation.

While leaving the polling center, I saw many people still looking for their names. I think what was wrong was the fact that the 'master list' was not in an alphabetical order. The list was according to location. But what about the people not living in a congested area?

I think information dissemination was not also good. People who did not know their precinct number could very well have used Comelec's text service.

However there were also people who were assigned to a certain precinct number but didn't find their name on that particular precinct.

All these problems are really frustrating. I mean a simple computer can solve it. When you have all the names in a database, it's easy to find the names. When I called up Comelec, they used a computer to find my precinct number, and it took only a few seconds. If only all polling centers have have even just one computer, this eternal problem of not being able to find names can be easily solved.

This is my first time to vote and it feels so empowering to be able to have a tool for change in this country. I feel good about myself. I just hope the next time I vote, all these futile problems will be solved already.

    I voted for Chiz, Joker, Trillanes, the 3 guys from AK, Kiko, Lacson, and Villar. Good thing we didn't have to go through the hassle of not being able to find the right precincts, and we were only in the precinct for 20 minutes max. Basta, always exercise your right to vote. It may not seem like much, but your vote counts.

I was scratching my head trying to figure out how to register to DITO promos without going through their app. I don't know why but apparently DITO's app needs internet connection to be accessed. How very counterintuitive! Imagine, I was about to register to a Smart Promo just to access their app and subscribe to a promo! Anyway, thank goodness I was able to find a way to subscribe to DITO promos without using their app. Here is how you can register to DITO promos thru text: 1. Text HELP or 0000 to 185. This is free of charge. 2. You will receive a reply with the menu. Choose 'Buy Promo'. 3. Choose your desired promo and confirm your purchase. That's it! Now you just have to wait for a text confirmation or try to check if you can now access the internet. Hope this helps you out!

No te Vayas de Zamboanga Song Lyrics

Image
No te vayas, no te vayas de Zamboanga Que me puedes, que me puedes olvidar No te vayas, no te vayas, ni me dejes Que yo sin ti, no puedo estar No llores, paloma mia No llores que volvere No llores que en cuando llegue Paloma mia, te escribire Con un pluma de ave Y un pedazo de papel Con la sangre de mis venas Paloma mia, te escribire. No Te Vayas de Zamboanga  is a Zamboangueño Spanish folk song written by Juan Cuadrado, Sr., a Spaniard who decided to stay in Zamboanga after the Spanish soldiers left the country. I read somewhere that this song was used in a Zarzuela entitled De Cavite A Zamboanga . In this Zarzuela , a Caviteña sings this song to her boyfriend who is going to Zamboanga. This is probably why there are versions wherein this song is titled No Te Vayas A Zamboanga . In fact, the English version of this song is translated from No Te Vayas A Zamboanga (Don't you go to far Zamboanga). This title however doesn't sit well among Zamboang
