Sun is Back

     After several days of clouds and intermittent rains, finally the sun is back. It's a great joy to see a beautiful day unfolds. All the moist stuff around the house will dry and humidity will be back.

Lovely day

2022 Philippine Election

     I voted for this year's election kind of nostalgic because the last time I voted locally was 1986. After that, I became an OFW from 1993 to 2019 thus I  voted overseas although not in all the elections.

     The last time I voted, it became invalidated in some way because the 1986 People Power overthrow the regime of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. I was a college student then and I seem to have been influenced by the elites' thinking thus from then on I supported the Aquino administration. Then I went abroad to work and saw the political systems in those countries, and saw the responsible media in Malaysia and Singapore. I had to be back home after I had a stroke unfortunately.

     This is the first election that I voted not as an OFW. I saw the campaign this time, and decided who to vote just to make sure not any of the co-horts of the Aquinos come into power again because 1986 to 2016, the country didn't improve. So in 2016, I was OFW then, we installed Rodrigo Duterte overwhelmingly as the country's top leader which saw a lot of changes and minimizing bureaucracy. Thus preventing the yellow to hold power is a must otherwise the positive changes initiated by Duterte will all go to the drain. It has to be continued. I voted for continuity. I know about half of my friends are all out yellow, pro-Leni, while another half are for BBM-Sara.

Five New Puppies

     For a day, Massy, one of our dogs, was missing. We called him but no reply until two days ago, he came back, I think he was so hungry. After feeding him, we watched where he ran. He went into the thicket behind our hut, just before going down into the stream. We followed him and we found a puppy. We brought home the puppy thinking it was only one and Massy will come home. Night came, Massy went back to the thicket. So the next morning we asked our nephew to bring the one puppy to the thicket again, only to find four other puppies. We all brought them home now and Massy  came home.

     They are now in the house and we are able to feed Massy regularly. The puppies were born on May 3, 2022. They are so adorable.

Aren't they cute?
