damn issues

’ve heard this story about my two friend’s conversation where once sees a leaflet advertising a condo unit somewhere in Manila and this guy friend of mine said that the units here are low price compared to his country. How I wish he knows how many Juan try to fit their salary to the family’s need for a month. Numerous needs from food, energy as well as apartment rent; and with the school opening next month, another added expense to be shouldered.

Gas price is now 50$ per liter and still increasing. Costs of foods from vegetables to processed ones are already starting to elevate. Schools are also raising the tuitions by a few percent. Yet the basic wage of the people is still the same. No wonder many peeps are eager to work abroad with the promise of higher income and to escape the cruelty of our economy. There where citizens who falls to the pit of 5-6 offers and/or other promos that offer instant money. See the TV shows behold them for this promise. And there are even few who are willing to sell body parts as well as gain money. That’s how bad our economy is! Going stumpy and depleting as of the rest improve.

Another sad thing is the electricity. Yes we are consuming energy as part of our daily lives and do the best to pay the bill on time just to avoid the line to be cut. But if the bill statement is check, the sum is divided to different sections where charges are shown for this and that, some parts shows higher payment other than consumption that is paid for the company. Worst, there is a part that shows consumers paying the lost electricity generated. WTF! Why should consumers pay for this energy that is not use?! Should it be the company who needs to shoulder this? Or they must check why/where/how/ is this so called “lost electricity” is leading or even used?

Another thing, petroleum companies are planning another increase on their gas. Their reason is that for them to cover the loss from the increase of petroleum and gas over the market. Yep, passing the “burden” to their consumers.. a very good idea. The sad thing though is that when the market price of these products decrease the price stays the same, no changes. Very fair, right?

The irony is, there is news that our economy is improving. Is there really be called economic improvement? Can the citizens really feel this claimed improvement? Or the said claim is just use to cover the irregularities? Look around and see if there is such advance.

am happy

Well, just strolling along the beach gives me a happy sense.

Yeah, I am walking a lot on the stretch while my feet dug a little on the sand but the feeling is so light and contented. Never a distressing thought occur to me; not even the depressing state I used to have visited my mind. And on my walk, all I feel is blissful mood. If there are any disturbances that arise, those are the good memories I have.

It is all fun, no sad thoughts, no pains and hurts. I feel so free and tranquil. Fulfilled.
