As Promised

Here are some photos of the hotel like hospital I have been telling you about. It’s so homey you won’t feel you’re inside the hospital, and oh, it does not smell like a hospital too!

That’s their suite room, I tell you, a carpet is all it takes.

Organic Pest Control

When we had a small get together here courtesy of Jade, her husband talks about organic farming and natural pest control. He talks about their neighbor in Palawan, where the neighbor has some natural pest control. In his place, there is no flies, no mosquitoes. He spray a natural pest control on his surroundings that is why. Now, I am really curious on how I can learn more about natural pest control. There is so much house pest in here and it really bothers me. I can’t do chemical based pest control as I have small babies and as you know this kind of pest control can be damaging to the environment as well.

So far, I have learned that flies never liked basil, lemon and cloves. Ants don’t like the smell of cinnamon. Now I need to know about cockroaches. My grandmother uses citronella oil for mosquitoes and it seems effective. Maybe a few more research and I can come up with my own natural pest control.

Little Tikes Playground

I am saving for this. The problem is how can I ship this from the US to here? In the US this is priced around $500 and here I think it can cost as much as $1000 or more. The price difference is so big. If only I can find a shipping company that can ship it here without much hassle. But wait! I have to find a place first to put this. LOL

When Hospitality Is Too Much

If you have not been to my country, you have not experienced the true meaning of hospitality. People here are so hospitable, they will almost give their house keys to you. Not that I complain but there are times when hospitality is too much, and I am talking about my mother. The phrase, “Hospitality is making your guests feel at home, even if you wish they were.” is not applicable to her. She really makes her guest feel at home without even thinking or wishing that they are home. Actually, she is like that in everything, she is giving and very kind to people. If she tried a new product like diet pills, she would easily give away diet pill reviews for free. In fact, her house is like a small convenient stores and some of her guest are really exploiting her kindness, they would take home some of my mom’s things.

Whenever we told her to slow down on being Mother Theresa of her friends, she frowned on us.
