It’s finally done! The Filipino people have chosen the next leader of this country.
Yesterday’s election was a tiring one for me. I’ve waited for more than two hours to be able to cast my vote; very different from the last time in which it took only thirty minutes for me to vote. Despite of the long hours of waiting and not to mention the rain, I opted to stay because I don’t want to let my chance pass me by in choosing the next leader of the country.
I’ve waited patiently until my priority number was called and when it’s time for me to vote, the feeling shifted from exhausted to excited and at the same time nervous. The shading part was a bit scary because the oval was too tiny. It didn’t take long for me to vote since I have already had a list of candidates for each position. I was relieved to see a congratulatory note in the pcos machine screen.
I think the only improvement in yesterday’s election was the counting of votes; the rest was….I’d rather not describe it. The major beneficiaries of the automated election are the people in-charge for the counting of ballots because they don’t have to spend sleepless nights trying to manually count the votes of millions of people. As for the part of the politicians, they don’t have to wait far too long to know the result because in just a matter of days the Commission on Election will announce the winners for both national and local positions.
Though there were few violent incidents recorded in some places, overall the election was peaceful and went smoothly. I feel bad for those who were not able to vote because of the turtle like process of voting. The people from the COE must do something about it in the next election because we don’t want to waste another millions of votes, do we?
I wish that for the next election, it will be completely automated – touch screen election. Voters will just have to touch the name of their chosen candidates in the screen and then the result will be delivered automatically to the COMELEC’s server so that at the end of the voting hours, winners will also be declared.
To close this post, to the newly elected president down to the senators, please make this country a better one!
I have Google to thank for because after a long wait, I finally got my first ever Google Adsense payment. I’ve waited for over a year to finally reach the minimum payout required by Adsense, this is a very long time as compared to any professional bloggers out there who can reach the 100 dollars marker in less than a month. Well, I am a blogger but a pro so that probably explains why I have to wait that long before getting paid. When I saw the notification in my Adsense account that they have already sent me the payment, I could not stop smiling. It was definitely worth the wait.
Now that I have more knowledge about blogging and how to improve Google Adsense income, I am hoping that I won’t have to wait for another year to get my second payment. I am definitely satisfied with my current monthly earnings because it’s a whole lot better as compared to my monthly earnings few years back. Though it is not as big as compared to those who made blogging their primary source of income, still it is enough to reach the minimum required payment in less a year. What good about Adsense is that it is not a rocket science, you just have to follow simple steps and your ads are up and running.
This post is a bit late since I got my payment last April 26 of this year but as the famous line goes “It’s Better Late Than Never”.
Jovit Baldovino has done it again! His rendition of Europe’s Carrie earned him a standing ovation from the whole crowd and the three PGT judges. He was good during the first round but he was amazing during the semi finals. He is such a talented young man and I really hope that he will be given break in the music industry. People like him deserves to have an album because he can really sing unlike other celebrities out there, even if they don’t the right to have an album still they were given a chance to have one because they are already popular. For me that’s a total crap!
Anyways, going back to the main subject which is Jovit Baldivino, he won the hearts of millions of Filipino because he got the most text votes. Why not? After all he had the best performance among the semi finalists. He was also the first one to become a grand finalist, thanks to the people who voted for him. Just like Kris Aquino said, Jovit Baldivino is destined to become a popular singer and I could not agree more. The three million views of his performance during his audition in youtube is a testament that he is already a star and it would be nice if Oprah or Ellen DeGeneres could watch it and hopefully he will be invited to sing in their respective shows just like our very own Charice Pempengco.
Though the grand finals will not happen until the 12th of June, I can already feel that it’s going to be Jovit Baldivino’s night because he has a huge chance of winning the contest.
