"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Being part of history

Tuesday, May 11, 2010

I did it! I cast my vote yesterday, and I’m proud to be part of such an event!

I almost didn’t make it…or, to put it more accurately, I almost didn’t want to vote. When I arrived at our voting area at 9 in the morning, the line was soooooo long! People from all walks of life were there…the rich ones (in their urban clothes, under the intense heat of the sun), tricycle drivers, elderly, students (excited to be voting for the first time), vendors, and so many others! So we decided to go back after 2 hours. Even then, when we decided to take a spot on the line, we learned from others that it took them 4 hours to vote! My sisters and I just took one look at one another and left the line. We would just come back again.

Our last chance was when we went back at 5 pm. We were decided that we would stick it out no matter how long it took. We got a surprise when we arrived and there was NO line! Lucky us! It took us less than 10 minutes from the time we signed beside our names to the time indelible ink was put on our fingers.

It actually was fun! The shading part felt like taking a test! He! He! And entering your votes to the PCOS machine was like faxing something. Fun!

Oh, what a great feeling that I know I’ve done my obligation to our country, especially being part of the first automated elections. What a small thing compared to what is expected from us.

And now, we wait.
