Getting ready for back-to-school

Tomorrow is Gwen’s first day of classes, there are a hundred things running in my mind right now. I have to iron her uniform, shine her school shoes, prepare her hygiene kit, plan her baon etc. Kung may first day of school jitters si Gwen, ako rin kasi na-stress na ako sa dami ng ihahanda. Plus her yaya, Ate Yongyong, took her vacation since May at hindi pa bumabalik, hindi rin nagpaparamdam. I took a leave from work for 1 week kasi nga marami pa akong cocoveran na libro at notebooks and also to take care of her needs.

Since back to school will be definitely stressful for us, ayoko namang pati sa bahay eh dagdag stress pa. It’s rainy season and I noticed that insects, flies, and rodents are everywhere :(. Talagang when it rains, it pours…ng problems. One solution to get rid of flies is get an aluminum foil and put it inside a bottle with water, tapos ilalagay lang sa table. Someone who works from a food cart told me that, naglalagay daw sila ng ganun sa mga pwesto nila to avoid flies.

Pero parang wa epek sa bahay namin. Kaya I used this Pest Off Fly Paper instead, for just 19 pesos, it catches more flies because its surface area is 17% bigger than other brands. Hindi pa sayang ang aluminum foil ko.

Now, for mosquitoes, cockroaches, fleas, and the likes, there’s Pest Off! Complete Insect Killer Odorless spray, take note that it’s Odorless!
