the veil of gloom has been officially lifted after my meeting this morning. after agonizing so much as to what have gone wrong and the resentment i felt, i'm leaving the bitter part of the last three months in the past where they belong. while my resentment has not fully subsided, what i learned is that i was foolish to think that i could play the game without getting my hands dirty. naivete aside, i learned a valuable lesson - never underestimate the enemy because they come in different forms and if you aren't careful, they can sneek up on you. the rest of the year is starting to look brighter.
unfortunately, dad did not make it when the poll results were tallied. politics is unbelievably dirty - those who want it badly has resorted allegedly to vote buying. witnesses reported that one candidate was handing out sample ballots with P300 bucks and another one with P500. and dad, who decided to run late in the game and who did not really have money and a financial backer to run stood no chance. coming in at #3 without any dole out on his part says something. he ran a clean campaign - and while it wasn't enough to land him the post - that is enough to be proud.
