Barack Obama- America's newly elected and their very first African American president, making his way in the history books. Yahooo!!! Wow, some of you who may read this blog may think "what the hell do I care about him or America,? Nasa Pilipinas ako.(such a boring topic). And I know Mr. Barack Obama wouldn't dare to read this one to thank me because...HELLO!!! Sino ba ako?
The truth is this is the first time that I write a blog that tackles politics.There are a lot of issues before that I wanted to make an opinon through my blog...but just a mere thought of it...napapagod na ako. It makes me tired as well... But this time it's different. I'm actually excited to write this one and eager since last night after knowing that he indeed won the election...mind you it's a landslide victory...very impressive for such a young candidate. Well..obviously..hehe... I'm such a big fan of him. I first heard his name from Ms. Oprah Winfrey, who's by the way, I also love so much for being such an inspiration to people. I guess, having heard her saying his name was one of the reasons I decided to know who's actually Barack Obama, trying to be the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. That's when i started to follow his life and his political career. His is a simple story of a child coming from a broken family whose parents came from two different sides of the world. He strived to have a good education, leading a decent life, became a Senator, a father, a husband and then the first black President of America. Before I'm looking for something so significant event or situation in his life that happened to him, a dramatic political scene, a heroic act perhaps that makes him so popular and an instant favorite. But honestly I didn't see one. But I think what makes him loved, believed and elected by people is because of his sincerity, his call for a change, a new perspective in this world, a promise for the youth of all nations, his call for peace and equality without looking to the color of your skin or the shape of your eyes. He already made that heroic act, when he dared to fight against discrimination. He's a hero when he dared to shout to the world those things that most people actually wanted to say but cannot.
It also makes me wonder why I get so interested in yesterday's election in America and even write this blog as a tribute to Obama..hindi naman niya ito mababasa..hehe. Maybe because I'm hoping that this same scenario may happen to the Philippines. Wherein there's one candidate who is willing to stand and fight for his principless and for what is right for the majority even if he's principle is unpopular, yet he will be loved and we will be ONE electing him without regrets but full of hope.
Yesterday as I watched the news, I could feel America's high and positive spirit, celebarating Obama's victory. His victory, each and every people's victory. How I wish na sana ganun din dito.. sa Pilipinas. SANA
Congrats Mr. Obama! Ako po si Dorothy Quinquileria..isang taga-hanga.
