Prices have gone up

Prices of almost every thing have gone up after one month of the 30 sen increase of petrol. Despite the stern warnings given by the authorities, things have become costlier. **Sigh**
Life is getting more and more difficult!

I like pine trees. They survive in the toughest conditions, even though they look twisted and shrunk as a result. But they are never quitters. They inspire me.
