I have been ignoring this blog for almost a month now, for some reasons, well, most of it is I am uber busy with work, I got sick for 2-3 weeks and my means of transpo, mainly, during my absence here, is the colorum van. Yes, I know, it's quite a shame for someone who created a jeepney blog to not ride and patronize what I am supposed to be blogging for. Pardon me, I just want the comforts of riding in an A/Cd vehicle during those times that I was sick. But now, I am feeling better than before. I am slowly getting back to my usual routine. I even gave up hitting the gym for two weeks because of my being sick. (But my boss and officemates says otherwise. They are claiming that I got sick because the sauna at the gym was under preventive maintenance for three weeks and that was the same week that I got sick. In short, I got sick because I wasn't able to have my regular sauna time 3-4 times a week. In a shorter term, I am addicted to sauna). I'm over that now. Back to regular programing.
Earlier today, we, my aunt, cousins and I, left the house at 5 AM (we did not rode the jeepney, sorry), just to be in Manila by 7 AM, to vote. We were able to cast our votes but only after 3 hours of impatiently waiting. Yes, we are all impatiently waiting, almost 100 of us, excluding those who are waiting outside the 'waiting room', waiting for our turn to vote, but even though we are as impatient as a 5-year old kid, we wanted to be a part of history (if you may call it one). We wanted to make our voices (or votes, for that matter) to be heard and we wanted to prove to some that we are participating and starting the change, even if that means I have to half-drag my other cousin to the precint where we're supposed to vote.
