for a couple of days now,i've been hearing my husband sighing-and-sighing... i asked him - why? his answer? - he's bothered on the continuous rising of prices of commodities - rice, fish, meat, and other basic commodities. we know for the fact, that in the everyday news we heard and see on television all about these - prices rising. and we wondered how we'll manage in the coming days. our salaries have not-risen, yet almost everyday the prices of commodities rises. 
our youngest child (a girl), even told me - "mama,you know i will eat potatoes. so that, we'll not have to buy much rice." she had this idea, because, she saw on television that foreign shows cooking potatoes as their rice. and i told her - "yes, there will come a time will be eating potatoes, pilipino variety - camote." 
with this predicament our country is facing, i have apprehensions of the coming days and months. i am praying that tuition, come enrolment time will not increase. i don't know how we'll be able to send the kids to school. i don't know what strategy we will be using to manage our meager salaries-just-to-make-ends-meet. aside from the usual process of having "utang" and "advancing our salaries", and in-what-household-expenses-we-can-cut-and-make-tipid, and appealing-to-my-siblings-for-a-loan, and of course - imploring the ALMIGHTY to hear our prayers and asking for guidance and divine intervention...
DEAR GOD, WE NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET. AMEN.
