Yes! I'm still young.
13th of May 2013 was my very first time to cast a vote after being registered almost a year ago, not because I really wanted to but because it's one of the requisites of my 1st ever job after graduation. so I had my nail inked with the Incredible - Indelible one. Good thing I'm not fond of nail arts and polishes, I didn't go crazy when the PCOS lady at the Precinct almost poured the ink on my Index Finger. So much more on my 1st time voting experience at What I Gotta Say?
Yep. It's my first time but definitely not my first exposure in politics. I mean, I was that kid who always inject interest into herself when it comes to the business Politicians have. now, that it's my turn to voice out, I have decided quickly yet carefully.
I wanted not to vote for 12 people for the Senate since I do not like most of them. But, I'm afraid that the machine won't eat my ballot so I just did. I read everyone's names first then shaded the oval of my 1st choice. She is none other than Grace Poe. I can't exactly define why but you know, just like LOVE - you can't give reasons you just feel it. :p
Then I gave a point for the Independent Candidates who have unwaveringly tried their luck to the Senate, just like Bro. Eddie Villanueva. I am no part of his religious alliance but I just thought of giving him a try since his Faith has been so strong since the past 3 elections, I think. We need a man who will stay firm in the midst of all the drama in the Upper Legislative Office.
I also voted for Hagedorn, Trillanes, Belgica and Casino. Since i need to complete the 12 just to make sure that they'll count my ballot, I merely shaded the ovals near the names of Escudero, Angara, Cayetano and... the rest? I completely forgot. What I just made sure is that I've counted them 12 people in all.
PLUS! I made sure that I didn't lose my mind and accidentally picked Nancy Binay. She did nothing wrong to me. I just don't like her, most especially background-wise. I don't think she is equipped to be part of the 12 at this stage of her life. I believe she still has to work harder and prove herself first not in the Senate yet but probably on the lower ranks first. And I would admit that listening to Vice Ganda's take on the daughter of Vice President Jejomar Binay's candidacy contributed to my views too. The Phenomenal Star was absolutely correct. His wits guided not to shade that oval of Binay's, I must say.
I think I would have to have a better and much thorough discussion about Makati's OJT, Binay, in the coming days still in one of my blogs. Watch out! :)
They were my Senators. And how about you? Who were your senators? Who caught your eye?
