Unbelievable.
July 16, 2008 at 9:17 pm

After my bowling practice with Finella and Monica, I went home straight and as I rode a San Mateo - Philcoa jeepney, I noticed the new tariff posted in front of it. As I look at the tariff, I realized that the one-peso increase on the first four kilometers is remarkably unbelievable.1 Swearyoso, nakakagulat. Before, we used to pay 7.50 pesos for our first four kilometers2 and now, it’s already 8.50 pesos — enough to buy a Lucky Me Pancit Canton and have a merienda. HAHA. :P

I remember way way back when I was in first year high school, I only pay 4 pesos for a jeepney ride (not more than four kilometers). See the big increase? How poor is our country now? Kasi diba, parang minsan, we say na “Ay, piso lang naman eh.” pero if you’ll look in a way, super big increase.

One more thing that I’ve observed yesterday, there are less Ikot and Toki jeeps3 than the usual maybe because of the unstoppable oil price increase. Ye know, every time I pass by Shell, Petron or Caltex, I always check for the oil prices, srsly — even though I don’t have a freakin car. Trip lang. And last week, a liter costs 52 pesos something and this week, it’s already 55 something. Potah, mahirap na ba tayo?

Wala lang, napaisip talaga ako kasi kahapon eh. Nakakalula lang ang pagtaas ng presyo. I hope that the ‘riding days are over and walking is super in’ will not come. Geez, I’ll surely have an asthma attack if that happens, swear.

This really is it. The reunion concert of Eraserheads is srsly true. :shock: ZOMFG, buong Pilipinas ang kalaban natin for the tickets. HAHA. Plurkmates *ehem, Kuya FB, Ate XG and Ate Anna* na nagwawala kagabi dahil sa ticket, don’t forget me ah. :haha:

  1. include the increase on fares for the additional kilometers too. [↩]
  2. in my case, I used to pay 6 cos I’m a student [↩]
  3. or it’s just really me? Kasi di kami makasakay eh, laging puno! [↩]

    I’m actually sad na nag-iincrease nanaman yung prices.. I mean, natutuwa na ako sa performance ni Gloria eh. Akala ko tuloy tuloy na but mukhang nagbackfire or didn’t lasted that long. :(

    mabuti ka pa nga aware sa prices eh.. as in sa exact prices. ako aware lang ako na nagtaas yung oil price like 60 daw ngayon tapos pwedeng tumaas ng mga 80-100 pesos by september? this sucks. i sound like some snob, rich ignorant — i know, i hate it. :|

    basta pag sa jeeps naalala ko lang i pay 7.50! never ko naexperience magbayad ng 6 kasi di ata ako nakasakay ng jeep na nakauniform, lol. oo nga no doesn’t look like a lot pero when you add all your jeep expenses mataas na rin yun. :| minsan lang naman kasi mag jeep at mag MRT (super rare pa actually). raaah i need to really get out there.

    meeting bloggers in school is really fun! hahahaha yey you finally met karla! :]

    First of all.. MAY PICTURE NA TAYOOOO! :) online AND offline friends na talaga tayo niyan. haha :) I’m very very very sure madadagdagan pa yang pics na yan! Whee! :)

    I so agree with you. I guess it’s true na when you’re in college your eyes get opened to the real world talaga. Kahit ako nabbother na sa pagtaas ng prices not only because of the pamasahe, but also because talagang affected lahat ng ibang bilihin. Eh nag-ggrocery pa naman kami ng roommate ko minsan! :( Oh no. Major pagtitipid na talaga.

    IMY Ayiene! :)
