      Di ko rin alam.

      I’m sending home a specific amount monthly. It used to be a comfortable amount for their monthly expenses, but it’s starting to get into the not-enough territory and I’m concerned.

      I just bought a cup of rice sa Lawson kanina. 17Php na siya from 15Php before. That’s a 13% price hike. You’ll be lucky to get a 7% yearly pay raise if you’re not job hopping.

      I guess we’re nearing the 20Php rice that we were promised. Per cup daw pala and not per kilo.
