Exceed Expectations.

So the credit goes to her. :)

Local Election
For the fourth time, I shared my precious vote today for the Local Election here in the Philippines.
What's more uninteresting about going to my precint where I am listed to vote and the voting itself was the fact that local elections doesn't make an impact on the local community.
Well, this is based from my experience today, when there was only one who's running for Punong Barangay (Barangay Chairman/Chairwoman), and when there are only 11 candidates for the 7 Councilor positions (Konsehal/Kagawad). You won't sweat, really. I just went there to let somebody put a heavy dirt on my fore finger.
Oh, well, congratulations to all who won.

COLD WAR
Have you been in a situation where you are in the middle of, like, parents war?
When you try to be as neutral as possible to the both of them but they still try to compete to win you over?
Well, I'm definitely one of them.
And it's harder to not be on any one's side than to choose one over the other.
No specifications at all.
Since I'm in the middle, or I should say We are in the middle of this dispute and there is nothing to say to comfort them than to lie.
I want this family to become one again.
But no sooner, we will be far apart again. The only thing that will link us with one another is the fact that we live on the same sky. That's all.
I will always remember the best times with them. When we were complete, when we were still living in Sofalaz, and all the dreams that was left behind.
I will always love you all.

Anniversary
Whenever I ever enter into a relationship, I also do give the best of my efforts, either the hormones are present or not, I'll do everything to make my love ones feel they are being love, cared and protected.
For all these years that I've been single and alone, I never thought of being in a relationship with an opposite sex. To be honest, I've been only in two intimate relationships so far and wishing that the latter one would be "the one".
Why?
I was never what they call "There's a curse", or that "I'm too young to be so serious" stuff. I was and am always serious in my relationships that in the end I am the one who felt betrayed by the other. So either the hormones are present or not, either he was never been serious, I am-- always the one who would always understand and that my patience will always be far long that the Amazon river.
And I never celebrate monthsary. I am fond with the word "anniversaries".
I broke my single status of more than five years when I said yes to Richard last year and today is our first year annivesary. What's more special about today is that I feel like savoring this day with the word "anniversary", really. Maybe because I never thought we will ever see this day.
Our relationship status can be define as girlfriend/boyfriend/bestfriends/mother/father/sister/brother/mentor.
With that, our relationship started the romantic way and then things got so screwed up, we even considered separating our lives from each other. But you know the kind of love you will only feel for your sister when all she do was to try to put you down and still you love her no matter how hard things are between the two of you? Richard and I had been through those phases.
Fighting, screaming, hurting each other-- we did what we could to be a pain in the ass to the other but we've never cheated nor left.
It was like a deal; an unspoken deal that no matter what, no matter how hard, no matter how painful things around us could be, we will always be the other hand to catch the other, that we will always be the other arm, the other soul, the other ear, the other pocket, the other mind, the other person to turn to when things go wrong.
And for that, in the year that has passed, there was this only 3 days that I didn't see him. The first one was the day after I said yes to him. He was just an ass that he made me miss him right after. The other one was when he needed to travel to Pampanga for his work and the recent was just this month when he was so tired from work and needed to help his grandma to clean the house, he forgot to drop by in my house- I waited for like, the whole day! And for the rest of the year, we have been together..

Status Quo
My name is Elleine and I am 23 years old. I live in somewhere in the city of Manila but I feel I belong somewhere. Like the sea. :)
I am in a relationship for almost a year and jobless for almost 3 years. Recently, I enroll in an institution for vocational courses for a thousand reasons. But the main ones are, first, because someone will financially support me and secondly, I want to do this. Yes. It's like after all the bravados in life, I found something that I really want-- travelling. Travelling with a purpose.
I am taking up Travel Services now and I am a student. No one can accuse me of being a jobless because I AM A STUDENT. Again.
Here, I am in front of the computer trying to find the tourist spots in Asia and I'll be memorizing the countries in Europe and their capitals.
Congratulations to me and dude, more, more power to us.

There are things that I learned today..
One, I now know how to keep my mouth quiet-- even if I feels like debating or when I want to tell someone something, or when I just want to say my opinion. Just try to shut your mouth and it will make a difference.
Two, things and people in general don't get on my nerves anymore. It is hard to be angry at something you hardly care about..
Three, Tourism can be hard but, hey, it's just a
subject.. I can pass it if I will be as serious as if I am at an Ivy League School.
Fourth, I never imagined somebody who almost came from the amoeba kingdom would be the bravest person in the entire world to be the only person to actually send me to school. No one would financially support me at all, it was him-- only him that God has sent to me for me to be able to go to school, once again. This is the reason why I didn't get to finish my studies. Financially and morally, they just ditched me like I was some kind of a trash. Thank you because you are here.
I will do my best to the best of my knowledge. This is for us. Thank you.
