Teachers in Pinas

May 10, 2010 would be the National election day in the Philippines. For the past few days I am watching and listening two nightly news in the Philippines and I noticed that there are so many problems that are going on for the fact that it would be four days more to go till election day. I saw this teacher being interviewed, she said that she encountered a lot of whining and complaining on the day of the election and she was ready to it. She said in her experienced, their are some voters  who came  who vote and when the teacher put an indelible ink in her finger she won't allow it because the voter has a fresh manicured fingers lol!!
When I saw all the chaos and complains, I feel for the teachers. My mother was a teacher for 36 years and I remember every time it is election day she is too stressed out  and too tired. Where can you find an election day that would last 1 to two days without rest huh!! One time I went to the precinct assigned to my mother I could tell she is tired and the two other teachers with her. That is why in the Philippines, teachers are so beat up in time of election day. They deserve to have a raise of their salary. It's a career that takes a lot of determination and endurance. Wake up Philippines vote for the right person!

The right to vote!

Last week hubby accompanied me  to the Secretary of State to register.  I was so shock by how fast they process the registration it only take less than 5 minutes!!! Yes less than 5 minutes I told hubby wow that was fast this is really  America!! LOL!! Then the other day I received  my voters registration id I was so excited for I know today there will be an election.
After our family breakfast from Harvey's restaurant today hubby and I  went immediately to the precinct to vote I was excited it is my first time but when after signing a form and the people assigned to gave me another form looked for my name she couldn't find it. So she ashed there chairperson about my case and the chairperson called somebody and she told me that I registered late. They were sorry about it and I was like feeling dismay I was so excited then. But they told me that next year I will be in the list and that is for sure and next year will be a big one a governor election. I am looking forward to that day.
