Tuesday

RAIN, RAIN AND ELECTIONS

Enough reason why I let my children stay at home today, 
our frontyard was turned into a little pond, their second absent for the whole semester
My plants rejoiced

It rained the whole night last night; I think the heaven’s teared also with my uncle who lost in the barangay elections. He’s got no money, no machinery only a clean conscience and a heart to help, but as they say election is money … having only the latter obviously he failed.  

I’m a changed woman now, I look at things at its bright side with hope and optimism, but just this once, I think this country is hopeless, corruption is incurable. My God, these crocodiles didn’t spare no one, we’ll I took the groceries and the money, it’s still my money, half of teaching salary is axed with tax so I have to take those as it’s mine, but for heaven’s sake, how can these people just ‘garapalan’ hand-out peso bills night before the election. I pity these people.

Dismantling this culture of corruption should I think start from the grassroots level, but how can this be? Seeing the way people at this plane perpetuated such a practice is so depressing. I’m so overwhelmed with disgust; politics indeed is more than smutty as the garbage it left.

  2. So sad to hear of this outcome and its effect on your faith in Humanity.

    We're facing an election here in the United States as well, which could end badly for a lot of people, with society going backward toward a less civilized place.

    Best of luck to you there, Vernz.

  5. It is really depressing. But I still hope that there will come a time wherein we Filipinos could already get rid of such mentality.

  11. Sorry for your disappointing election. That's hard to take. Even if you don't have a close relative who lost. And isn't the rainy gray a perfect metaphor.
