Simplicity is Beauty | Perfectly Imperfect

Transport strike hits the whole country last March 11, Tuesday, due to oil price increase. Classes were suspended, and a number of people especially workers who commute daily to their jobs got affected.

It's a good thing I don't have work that day and my sister got home safely but she really had a hard time commuting. The transport groups had a quiet protest to address their needs to the government through this transport holiday. Oil prices increase and increase and they say it will still increase before the year ends. The oil companies say they can't do anything about it also because of the spiraling cost of crude and petroleum products in the international market.

This means everything will also go up. All the prices, especially food, will all go up. Last Monday, the cheapest rice in the store I buy is P25, but now it's already P27. I remember last year I can already buy enough of groceries for P500-P1000, all for food here in the house, but now, I can't buy enough for the same price!

I just wish the government will do something about this rather than spending time getting money in their pockets from Chinese companies.
