Had an afternoon snack with my friend, Trish.

Okay, that snack was more like dinner, hey, didn't get to eat lunch
Got great news while I was with her but that's for a different post.
Went around to look for rain boots
Chatted while walking around Greenbelt
It's interesting how fast progress and change comes to this area
Just wish progress also to the whole nation
But then again, this is in all of us
Team work
No crab mentality
No judgements
Be part of the solution
No bending of rules for one's convenience
All working towards progress, peace and a moral nation
Might be dreaming
But change is the only thing constant
And I guess this time around
I hope that change is for the better.
We'll see.

Don't Rock the Vote

our official uniform on May 10

Started my day with the celebration for Moms in my son's school.

Then went home, did a bit of answering e-mails, picked up my son then had my foot spa. Afterwhich, went to have my annual check-up.

Then attended the briefing for the poll watchers.

Am going to make this post light, as there's already too much going on with the elections.

My husband was teasing me about the shirt am wearing as a poll watcher, I don't usually wear big shirts, or t-shirts, for that matter. Shirts were even one size fits all!!!

I told him, "I'll make poll watching stylish"

So, attended the briefing with the team leader saying, no make up, no jewelry, in other words, be as plain as possible.

So, here's the shirt and I will defiitely post how I will look that day.

Though am praying so hard for this country to elect the right leader,

giving my time to protect our votes,

Whatever happens, I think, more than the leaders, the citizens need to change habits, as well.

One person cannot do it.

The President will really need our help if we want a good change.

Bless the Philippines!

Musings of a Citizen

Had lunch out today with the kids then saw my dear friend, Rima.

Chatted for a bit then went to my meeting.

Talked some politics , especially with the upcoming elections.

Met with developers, minds behind this beautiful planned city.

Focused back on why we were there to meet

A little bit of discussion on how to make the planned city really a world class place.

I guess it really boils down to education and discipline.

From the grassroots up

Also, implementation is key.

Went home with some kind of a burst bubble but nary a lost hope.

Who knows , by some miracle, people will start caring.

I can only dream.
