Hindi ko na alam.
Some people had it easy. It looked as if their lives carried on like screenplays. They know what to do, what to say, what to choose. As for me, it's the usual shrug and "I-don't-know." I really just don't know anymore. I feel like a robot. And my circuitry's beginning to depreciate.

Hahahahaha! Time for a sudden shift of mood cause it's time to discuss something surprisingly substantial. The 2010 Elections. (Don't look at me like that. I have nothing new.)
(Err. I can't write well. My mom keeps on asking me if she looks good enough. This not even something surprisingly substantial because she asks me that every single time she goes to her clinic which is everyday, by the way. HAHAHA. Now back to regular programming...)
The constant bombardment of flashy advertisements into the entire mass media only signals one thing: the election is nearing. Based on Philippine customs, it is again that season when political aspirants contest against one another for national, regional, or local governance. It is the time when various political parties, spearheaded by their own “presidentiable”, parade their respective ideas, visions, and platforms in the hope of reform and development.
I'm not yet a registered nor a qualified voter but I believe in what my dad said at the dinner table this lunch: This is a national concern. That means every breathing Filipino who is within Philippine shorelines, as well as those who are not, should put this matter on at least a fraction of their minds. Especially now when the memory cards of the PCOS machines were found to be defected and are needed to be replaced or reprogrammed in a matter of days.
By now, I should already be familiar with how the system of elections works, because in two to three years from now, I will be part of the age group that is responsible for the future supremacy in our nation. So it is of great importance that the youth look past those catchy slogans and blinding colors, and start to look more into their agendas and advocacies.
Our national hero once said that the youth holds the future of a nation. And that is true. Being young and free provides us endless possibilities and chances. The decision is just up to us.
I wrote the highlighted part for our AP class this year. It might look as if I hold no conviction about things like this but I truly believe that this country can still be saved. With enough prayers and resolve, I still believe we can.
