Lessons learned after the election period 2013:

My vote will count only if I let the majority of the voters to know my vote - if I pursuade them into voting for them too.

I wasted time thinking who to fill my 12 bets even though I already want 5 sure senatorial candidates to win (which are not at the top 12 aotm). If those wasted times were spent gathering votes for those five, I would have gave them a chance to beat the others.

The ‘thinking class of the Philippines’ who bashes Binay in the internet is a minority. Their votes do not count as much as the they think it does. Not until their voices will be heard by the ‘not so much of a thinker’ class, which do not have access to internet, so

Internet bashing is not that useful in this case. Not until it is heard by the majority of the voters.

There’s no Christian vote. Eddie Villanueva did not make it to the cut.

Television is powerful. So I hope it should be a lesson to Vice Ganda; she should campaign for her senatorial candidates earlier next time. I hope she’s famous still on 2016 (Most of her bets are my bets too).

This should serve as a lesson for me, and I hope for the others in the internet world too. We should not set aside the majority of the voters who do not meticulously choose for their government officials, who stick to the common names because they are common. Let’s hope for a better 2016 elections, with us using all our powers to have a more intelligent majority voters.

This is what Philippines looked like in my imagination when I was 6 years old due to the caricatures in school books. (No internet yet.)

Thank you, Zambales.

The songs I like mostly are in these categories:

1. I can relate to it

2. Has strong emotions seen in the lyrics

3. Good tune

When I first heard Walls from Stars (it played after Hold on when you get love…in Soundcloud), I liked it immediately because of reason 3, and it really got me in the first two lines. When I saw the lyrics, I was in love with it for reasons 2. When I listened to it and read the lyrics simultaneously, I was in heaven. I couldn’t help but share the good music for everyone to hear, everyday I’m in Soundcloud (did the sharing for one week. Stopped only because I was thinking it’s a bit annoying).

This song tells a story comparable to a novel or a movie. Every note and word flung me to a different emotion, and I KNOW I’m there. I’m feeling it too like I write the lyrics myself, even though I’m in no condition to even relate to the song (because I’m in a relatively happy relationship aotm). Most of the time, I have to listen to it with eyes closed so that I could absorb the entirety of the song.
