Love and Affirmation
A flurry of activities, eye bags, and a dire lack of sleep is a daily fare the past two weeks. I thought to myself “The husband is not pleased with my busy schedule”. As you might know now, I am the project editor of blogwatch.ph, a new media initiative for May 2010 elections. To add to that, I got hired effective January 18, 2010 as Features editor for the Philippine Online Chronicles, an alternative online media of which I am so proud to be part of and so with 9 other new contributing editors.
Add to that the five presidential interviews in a span of 12 days, election forums, workshops, the past days have been really hectic but enjoyable. It’s nice to do something for the country in my own little way. I grew up with a father who was actively involved with elections as head of “Operation Quick Count”. Heck my first word was probably “GET OUT AND VOTE” since I saw posters of them around the house.
As I head off to another election-related appointment, my husband kissed my forehead “I am proud of what you are doing”. I felt my heart “melt” with joy.
Now that’s affirmation. I didn’t really feel the need for affirmation but it felt reassuring to know he wasn’t feeling neglected. I feel even empowered to be better. It is quite endearing. I face a new task everyday and they can be challenging.
What’s most important to you and me is our own self-affirmation.
- My body is healthy and functioning in a very good way.
- I have a lot of energy.
- I study and comprehend fast.
- I am successful in whatever I do.
- I am calm and relaxed in every situation.
- My thoughts are under my control.
- I radiate love and happiness.
- I am surrounded by love
- Everything is getting better every day.
- My husband’s affirmation is the icing on the cake.

Keep it up! You give something back to the country by letting people know about their presidential candidates. Education and awareness is important to change our old and corrupt government.
Change is drastically needed. You are one of the instruments that can make our country a better place to live in.
Just like your husband, we are behind you and will stick with you all the way.
Mabuhay ka!

I hope to show underplayed stories that are not normally reported in traditional media. Thanks for the support.
Noems, since you mentioned that Daddy was with OQC, let’s continue the history lesson. OQC evolved into Namfrel — and Dad was also one of the originals. There, this “get out the vote” mantra has been with us before we were even teens!
I’m very proud of what you’re doing. Keep it up! We’re getting educated.
they say NAMFREL was the first. I think it was the first nationwide.
You’re doing great Noemi. And it helps to have a supportive family behind you.

This is going to take a lot of Money and Time. I like the idea, I just don’t know where he would put it, if he would even like it, and I don’t think it’d be easy to find the newest additions to the jar. Any suggestions on how to make this idea better, or ideas on other gifts to make
