Necessary I voted! photo:

(I am aware I have retardedly stubby fingers and small hands! And a Hansgrohe faucet LOLQUE.)

It took my folks and I a little over an hour and a half to line up and vote at our precinct. I was expecting the worst, having read people’s tweets from yesterday morning so I was pleasantly surprised at how things turned out for us. I guess it was a good thing I didn’t register to vote in Quezon City.

I voted for Noynoy Aquino. For those anti-Noynoy folks out there, I’d like you to read something my beautiful boyfriend wrote over at his Tumblr:

Now That We’ve Voted

Can we please go back to respecting each other?

I’m tired of seeing people say “OMG Filipinos are such morons” or that “We’re a country of idiots”

Seriously guys, THERE’S THE DOOR, don’t let it hit your christian ass on your way out. I’m sure Iran would love to take you in.

To those who REALLY love our country and not just the man they think can run it best (whoever it is, whether or not you voted for him), this is my promise to you:

I Pledge to support the incoming president. I will do my part to help him institute the reforms needed to wipe out corruption and propel the country in the right direction. I will help him bring back the integrity of our government by setting an example for others with my own actions. I will advocate everything he does that I feel will better my country.

If he strays from the path that he’s laid down for himself and from the promises he made that made me support him in the first place, I will be his biggest critic. I will speak out and strive to be heard. I will be the thorn in his side and I will be tireless.

Mr. President-elect, now that you’ve given us hope and led us to the polls with your words and the promise to bring integrity, transparency, and honesty, I await your actions.

Never forget those who believed in you.

I’m all smiles today. Still crossing my fingers for Mar Roxas, though.
