Plus ten to taxi!

Everything is really expensive nowadays, from food to clothing to bills and everything. Add this discontented situation doesn't stop there because even the taxis ask for an additional 10 to your final rate! Example: your bill is supposed to be P30.00 only, but because of the new law you have to add P10.00 to your final rate. So if your bill will be this: P30.00(final rate) plus P10.00(mandated by law)= P40.00 that will be your final bill. Ain't it expensive?

Wohoo, before I can still afford to ride a taxi wherever I want to go, but now, just because of that law, I think I have to adjust my budget again..

Sampaguita For Sale

Tonight, while me and my hubby rode a taxi heading for mall and the stop light was on its control, a little girl, around eight or nine years old, ran to our taxi and tried to sell Sampaguita flowers to us on the right window and a boy with the same age as her on my left window asking for money. Me and my hubby said no to them because we don't want them to get used with that because aside from its really dangerous on their part, its not their responsibility to look for money at that very young age.

When the traffic light shifted from red to green, the little girl and boy ran fast at an islet dividing the two roads. From that, I tend to ask myself, where are their parents? Why are they selling? Have they eaten dinner? What will happen to them if they will be "hit and run"?
