Hike Up Price

Nowadays, I can say we, the students started to be more calculative in pretty much everything. Why? Cause Russia is under economy crisis, and ruble has gone as low as 30 per dollar, which in turns causing a sky high increment in price of almost everything. 1st, the metro pass. From 180 rub to 255 rub. Trust me, others will follow too, soon.

U can see it coming actually. In August 2008, when Georgia invaded South Ossetia. Medvedev responded with a strong show of force. This resulted in Moscow facing global isolation and pressure. This was made worse by the price of oil fell from a high of $147 a barrel in July to less than $40 a barrel in December, and now even neared to $30 per barrel. Take note that oil is one of the country's main export earner.

Then, it got me thinking, year by year, my spending power getting smaller and smaller because of increment of prices of goods. But this year, the increment is more than we have expected, resulting in major reduction in the spending power. Looks like allocations for savings, traveling and shopping have to reevaluate again. Saving is vital to me, so does traveling. So, sorry shopping department, ur allowance need to be cut down. Bye2 fashion, hello outdated. Lol :P



Isn't he cute? :D I love many of his songs.

We've run out of words we've run out of time
We've run out of reasons really why we together
We both know it's over baby bottom line
It's best we don't even talk at all

Don't call me even if I should cross your mind
Hard enough I don't need to hear your voice on my messages
Let's just call it quits it's probably better
So if I'm not returning your calls it's 'cause

'Cause I'm not comin' back I'm closing the door
I used to be trippin' over missin' you but I'm not anymore
I got the picture phone but baby your picture's gone
Couldn't stand to see your smile every time you dialed

'Cause it's over
Girl you know it's over this time
So when you call I'm pressin' seven
Don't wanna hear your messages messages
I'm tryna erase you from my mind
'Cause it's over
I swear girl it's over this time
So don't keep callin' leavin' messages
Don't wanna know where you been
Baby 'cause it's over
