See life through MJ's optimistic eyes.
May 10, 2010
I have cast my vote! Now all we have to do is wait – and pray. Pray that after all has been said and done, hopefully the Philippines will finally have the “right” President. Pray that no one will die. Pray that no one will get hurt. Pray for the teachers. And pray that everything will be alright.
I voted for Richard “Dick” Gordon for President and Jejomar Binay for Vice President. Hopefully one of them wins.
I can’t wait to hear the results!
So we can all finally move on.
We helped Google map the voting precincts here in Iloilo today! Iloilo Bloggers and friends went to Netopia to help Google map the precincts here in the Iloilo province in preparation for the May 10 elections. For our efforts Google gave us “Map Your World” tshirts. The task was actually easy and we had fun while doing it. We also realized that there are a lot of schools (public and private) here in Iloilo City alone and there were some that we don’t know the exact locations yet. Luckily because we converged at Netopia, we were able to help each other map the right precincts.
I wasn’t able to take photos while we were mapping, only after we’re done did I remember to take out my camera. Thanks Google and Junelle for the gastronomic experience at Stufyerface and the fish spa!
If you guys want to help us out in mapping the voting precincts of the Iloilo province please check out this http://www.findyourprecinct.ph/.
Here are some of our after “mapping” photos:
Dick Gordon is my president! He has my vote. Why? Because I think he’s the only candidate with the guts to tell the Filipino people what is wrong with our country. And I believe that he’s the only candidate who deserves to be President.
Here’s what he said yesterday on ANC 24/7
And here’s another factual proof for everyone to see why Gordon will be the right President:
It has been said that the leader you choose is a reflection of who you are. So don’t believe those effing surveys. Gordon is the one who should get our vote! Vote wisely for the Philippines!
Gordon for President!
Believe it or not the 2010 election is closer than you think, only 155 days to go. So have you made up your mind on who to entrust our country’s future yet again? As far as my voting career goes the 2010 elections will be the most interesting. In lieu of the tragedies and disasters our country has faced this year, I hope everyone will choose the right candidate – if there’s one. So I have been surfing the web for sites that will help me decide for the elections and I stumbled upon Politicalarena.com. This website is actually the Philippines’ first socio-political networking site where members can post videos and photos, join forums on different important issues like politics, education, economy and commerce, labor and employment. It has partnered with COMELEC, Youth Vote Philippines and PPCRV to promote voter education especially to first-time voters as well as encourage participation in the upcoming 2010 national elections. Politicalarena.com operates under the network of 88DB.com, the Philippines’ first rich media service portal.
Politicalarena.com promotes voter’s education through their special online features and social media networking tools such as blog , political forum, chat and other multimedia portals which allow voters to get up close and personal with presidential candidates and learn more about their goals, views and principles. This tools will provide us voters with enough information to help us make the right decision on who to vote for on the coming presidential elections. I signed up after a period of browsing the site and noting that not only the visitors can voice out their views, opinions and concerns but the presidential candidates can do so as well. Being a resident of Iloilo, I saw Politicalarena.com as my chance to interact not only with the voters but also with the candidates and learn more about their platforms and be updated on all the latest political issues and events. Isn’t this way much better than just watching TV and rant without anyone hearing you? In fact I posted a question for the presidentiables at their Issues page. Let’s see who responds to that.
So please broaden your ability to vote wisely in the upcoming 2010 Philippine elections. Do our country a favor, visit Politicalarena.com and educate yourself.
I’m praying for peace in Gaza and for the whole wide world – make it the universe. My bebeh introduced me to this beautiful song last year. And I’m introducing this song to those who haven’t heard this before. Hope you like it too. Let’s all pray for WORLD PEACE! I just don’t see the point of all these wars!

African Chorus throughout song:
———————————–
Ni dyar’izuba, Rizagaruga, Hejuru yadju, Nduzaricyeza ricyeza.
[ When will the sun rise again?
Who will reveal it to us again? ]
———————————–
Rwanda, Rwanda,
Yeah Rwanda, Rwanda.
They said: ‘Many are called and few are chosen,’
But I wish some wasn’t chosen
for the blood spilling of Rwanda.
They said: ‘Meshach Eshach and Abednego, Drowned in the fire but you never get burned,’but I wish that I didn’t get burned in Rwanda.
They said: ‘The man is judged according to his works,’so tell me Africa, what’s your worth?
There’s no money, no diamonds, no fortunes on this planet that can replace Rwanda…
Rwanda Rwanda
Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda
These are the cry of the children
Rwanda Rwanda
Anybody hear my cry?
If America, is the United States of America, Then why can’t Africa, be the United States of Africa?
And if England, is the United Kingdom,
Then why can’t Africa unite all the kingdoms and become United Kingdom of Africa?
Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda
Yeah, yeah.
These are the cries of the children, yeah.
Can anybody out there hear our cries?
Yeah, heavens cry … Jesus cry.
Lord, did you hear us calling you?
Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda,
Lord, did you hear us calling?
Can you do something in Rwanda?
Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda
I’m talkin’ ’bout Jesus; talkin’ ’bout Rwanda Rwanda Rwanda
Talkin’ ’bout … talk’n ’bout … talk’n ’bout … talk’n ’bout….
I wanna play my guitar for Rwanda….
