Welcome May 2010!

In a few hours this month ends and we will welcome May 2010! I've been waiting for this month for various reasons.

The first reason is that my brother's birthday is near! :D We still don't have plans for it though. I actually have a hearing test scheduled on that day, I don't know yet how to clear that day but oh, well, I'll figure it out! I don't know what to give him yet. He's turning 16 and year by year it gets harder to guess what he'd want to receive as a gift. :o

The next reason is MAY 10. It's elections day... Since this year started I made sure to read more about the candidates because some of them I am not very familiar with. It's not my first time to vote, I've voted during the last local elections but this is my first time to vote for a president. (!!!)

To be honest I am a bit anxious about choosing who to vote. You can never know enough about these politicians unless you know them personally. However much you read or listen you can never really know them well enough to say that he'll do great or what. You can't predict what happens when they win, so you try to choose wisely because you one vote counts. And also because you'll have plenty of time to regret your choice if the ones you voted for won and messed up.

Okay this isn't a speech, haha. But seriously. Just sayin' that I consider my one vote important. Because I recently heard someone tell her friend that she "can't get why her friend makes too much fuss about choosing a president, when she's just one voter out of millions and it's not like her vote would be a tie breaker, why waste time thinking about it too much?" and that made me a bit sad... I really believe that every one vote counts.

There are many little more but I'm tired of counting. I'm still a bit dizzy, and I still blame the ultrasound for it. -__-; The past few weeks I've spent dealing with health problems. I'm partly okay and partly not...which is hard to explain, haha. I mean, physically I'm not okay but I'm trying not to let myself down with all that. I have a lot of things to look forward for and I don't want to sulk. So that makes me partly okay, I think. :))
