The elections are coming up, and my newly turned 18 friends are staring to ask if i got my voting license yet. and i keep saying no. over and over and over again. they ask, "why not?" i say, "why? i'm not going to vote." and they say it isn't good to be so apathetic.

am i apathetic? maybe i am. i don't know anything about politics. i don't know who i should vote, nor do i want to vote. i don't want to vote because i don't know anything about these candidates. all i know is that they lie. they all lie. and i don't want to vote for people who lie to me.

my friends tell me im judgemental. maybe i am. how do i know they all lie? of course i don't. i don't even know them. but they're politicians, and that's enough for me. i see what's happening in UP, and here i see an embodiment of what is happening in the country.  i see these students, students i see and laugh with everyday, cheat their way to the top. dito pala nagsisimula. estudyante pa lang, natututo ng magdagdag-bawas. how i am supposed to believe in people when right here in miniland, i see these things happening.

they lie. they all lie. i don't trust them. i won't vote them.
