From Ube and Mamon to VAT

Early this morning, I bought 2 pieces of ube roll and mamon. The ube roll costs 6 box each while the mamon 2 box. So I already spent almost 16 box to greet my ever beautiful morning. Ofcourse, I am quite disturbed about its total price since I am thinking more about the usual 1-peso bread in the market some few years back. God! I should have got 16 breads!

x: "Bullshit! Give me back my money! I deserved to get 12 breads!"

y: "What are you talking about sir?"

x: "I said I should have got 16 breads! Can you understand? Now give me back my money!"

y: "Why are you acting that way sir? We're just a bakeshop and our prices are competitive among other
bakeries..."

x: "Hey lady! Can't you see that your prices are really high? I bought this mamon at 1 peso 10 years ago! Don't you ever try to fool me because I am not a fool asshole!"

y: "That was 10 years ago sir!

x: "HEY! Why the hell are you following me?"

y: "YOU MUST GIVE ALL YOUR -------I mean GIVE ALL OUR HELL BREAD BACK SIR(pent)!"

I'm getting to be overstating there. What would I ever expect of the future of all the prices of common goods such as bread here in the Philippines? EVERYTHING is increasing! The price of flour is rising like smoke in the air (exaggeration though but somehow true in its sense). I smell the same smoke many times in any other commodities like meat, pork, chicken, fruits, vegetables, tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, blah blah blah and another blah. Even my personal goods are smokingly hotter--- my Panoxyl anti-acne ointment raised from 141 to a blazing price of 151 box in just 1 week! Ofcourse, I have no other choice but to accept such situation of giving extra 10 pesos. Why the hell there is such increases! VAT! VAT! VAT! Hahahahahaha! But even VAT itself is increasing from the good old 10% to a gigantic leap of 15%!

The reality of the world.
