Kakabakaba ka ba?
... ke Noynoy!
The Filipino people has spoken ... they elected the new President of the Republic of the Philippines - Noynoy Aquino.
As to who won as Vice President is still a big question: Mar Roxas claims the seat, and so does Jejomar Binay.
Don't ask me who won in the congressional and senatorial seat 'coz for me, the list is downright amusing, and somewhat insulting.
Right now, I am anxious to know who will be in Noynoy's list of Cabinet officers.

Finally .... springtime!
We've been anxious to see some signs of spring for weeks now - and when it finally came, in the guise of sprouts of lillies and tulips around our garden, it sudddenly dawned on me it will soon be summer! How time really flies! Wasn't it not too long ago when we had loads of snow and frost and chilly temperaatures? Winter had been harsh this year - I can't believe my tulips survived it at all ... but it did!
Last Sunday was Alexander's last swim day for this term - kids in his class received some swim badges (for completing the term's swim exercises) and kiddie treats. Parents exchanged contact numbers for possible summer play dates. Everyone was cheerful ... believe it or not, that's one clear sign of spring, too, you know. In any case, Alexander is all geared up to start his sail class this week ... need proof? Well, he packed his sail gear - booties, wetsuit and jacket, gloves - before going to bed tonight. Talk about being all too excited!
For us grown ups, we simply look forward to our late night grill activity ... that for us is a treat in itself.

Election time!
I have been monitoring the electoral process in the Philippines as early as 6am (Manila time) – I had my reservations when I heard and read how the initial tests of the PCOS voting machines failed a few days before Election Day. Also, the manner of clustering the list of voters per precinct was also dubious from the beginning. How do these Comelec experts expect 1200 Filipino voters in some precinct areas to vote in a 12 hrs maximum time? This electoral process will end up like a bad joke, and a big insult to the Filipino people if its result fail to register the needed number of voters by the end of the day.
This whole process is truly not very well planned. Or was it really planned to have it this way? A failed electoral process means extra presidential mandate for GMA, right? Could it be the case? Nah … I certainly hope it isn’t so. But then again, anything “magical” can happen right under our noses – especially in the Philippines as it is.
