Can I go to the Mountain to Vote?
Yo' wuzzup! So ahmmm, I don't really know how to start this article but.. How are you?
So, yesterday is the National Election Day. I bet my friends here that also my friend on noise.cash saw my post about how early we are when we go to the school to vote. We first find our number and precinct and when done we proceed to our designated precinct and vote. That's what we did, I mean my Moms did no me. My Mommy D go on her way to her Precinct while me on the other hand waited for my Mommy F to finish. Mama and Mommy F had the same precinct so it is Mama who assist Mommy F.
We thought she needs assistance coz you know, what if she can't read well what's written on the Ballot. But she said after she finish voting, she's the one who did it. She did it alone without assistance. Minsan si Mommy F, talagang lumalabas and kayabangan. But anyways, actually it should be me who will assist Mommy F but because she has the same precinct with Mama, Mama is the one who went there with her. And because Mommy F is a senior, she can vote agad coz they have their own line.
And coz Mama become her assistant (kuno) Mama was able to vote too, even though she's not a senior yet, lol. Nasa dulo pa si Mama nong line so late mahaba haba pa sana ang aantayin nya. But because Mommy F called for her, ayon they both vote at the same time na din. Para paraan ang mga oldies aguyy.I think I stay outside for like 30 minutes or more. Can't really remember but Mom called me and that's also the time Mama finish voting.
They vote talking at me even though we are just 10 steps apart saying that they will go home now while I should stay to vote. They also said that I should go to my Precinct now and fall on the line. I didn't listen to them and just walk to where they are. I said, nevermind Mom. I will not vote! But they insist that I should vote. Mommy F said that she will just wait to the waiting shed and Mama should accompany me to my Precinct. I told them again that I don't want to but they are so persistent so I just listen and followed what they want.
We go to our Precinct and that's also the time that I said this line "I told you, it's too many people." Mama answer me back saying, I should really just go to the mountain and live there if I don't want to be surrounded by a lot of people, lol. She's really annoyed with me because that's what always my bukambibig even if she will asked me to go with her on Plaza or Market. What to do? I'm really not used to be surrounded now by a lot of people. I become so conscious that I can't just ignore them. Arghh.
But anyways, after seeing the long queue of people. We decided to really go home. I don't want to wait and I want to go home na. Mommy F and Mama urge me to just go back there the afternoon. So off course I will be alone na , so I told them nvm and just leave it like that. No one push me to go back because I already decided that I won't. So yep, it's to embarrassing but I didn't vote today and it is because of a lame reason. I don't want to vote if I don't have someone on my side na hindi ko kakilala. Bad me.
I don't want to be alone waiting in line and I don't want to stay there any longer coz I feel like people is watching my every move. You know what, we are just walking to go to my Precinct to check but I can see some people that is really looking at us. I even look some to their eyes thanks to my facemask I did that lol. I know I am just making an excuses and that even if it's only one vote it js still important but, my peace is more important huehue. I can't be at ease if I have a lot in my mind so yeah. Sue me.
Ciao.
