Okay, I'm getting totally paranoid. I've been hearing stuff outside that are kinda unusual. I don't know what they are. They sound like explosions or something. I'm tempted to think of the sounds as gunshots, but then again, they may just as well be sounds of firecrackers or something. So, is this how it feels to live outside a military base? Probably. Sorry, I'm just not used to it. After living inside a military base for 19 years, having unusual sounds like that really just scares me.
Elections this Monday -- probably the reason why I'm overly paranoid. I'm praying it'll be a relatively quiet and peaceful one. It feels weird actually. I know there'll be cheating (After all, this is the Philippines. Totally wrong mentality, I know, but then, I wasn't born yesterday.), but a part of me still wishes for a clean elections.
Well, as I may have mentioned in my other blogs, I'm proud that I volunteered for Bantay Bilang. I don't know exactly how big of an impact my one shift could have, but nonetheless, I volunteered for something totally outside of myself and outside of Kythe, so I'm happy. I'm also proud that I actually defied my dad in volunteering. Not that he was violently against it, but he was against it. You know what I mean. I thought, it was time for me to start acting like a productive member of society, and what best way to show your love for your country than by at least trying to help ensure clean elections. I know my one shift could not do a lot, but I helped, and I'm just happy with that. I'm still looking for one more shift on the 17th, and I'm looking for people to go with me. :)
let it go
