Ballots have been printed. PCOS machines have been delivered. CF cards reconfigured. And less than seven hours from now, precincts will open. Everything's ready (well at least in our district) but not me. I have yet to complete my list of electoral candidates. Many positions still left unfilled. And I have no idea how to get infos on the candidates. And it's all my fault. I'm cramming my research on who I'm gonna vote for. But being me, I wouldn't blame myself for what happened. I'll blame it to the internet which has been acting up since this morning. I'll blame it to the lack of online info about the candidates specially for the local government. I'll blame it on the candidates themselves for mostly doing their sorties at you-know-where's. But it's too late for that now.
Good luck na lang talaga bukas. My vote counts. I know that. I'd have to fill in those positions or my votes are wasted. On one hand, it'd be a lost opportunity for deserving candidates whom might've won had I or other people like me voted for him or her. Sayang. But then again, on the other hand, I don't want to place my vote on someone I don't believe in. Someone I don't trust.
Tomorrow's not any ordinary day. Tomorrow is something that will make a mark in our history. Something that is life-changing, for me and for the nation, for the better and for the worse. Less than sixty days from now, we'll have a new leader, or leaders, and it'll be decided based upon the results of tomorrow's activity.
My vote counts. Good or bad, it counts. Our votes count. Good or bad, they count. Whoever wins, gets to be the leader. And it's all our fault. But being us, we won't blame ourselves for our nation's failure. We'll put the blame on someone else. We'll blame the leader that we elected.
It's a cycle. It's inevitable. It's midnight.
