i think it was from nanay (my lola) when she saw it on TV, that pandan leaves can be an effective cockroach repellent. ooopppsss... going back to my previous posts.. i love cockroaches,, i love screaming and running away from them whenever they're around. so when i heard about it, i immediateltly asked nanay to go buy a bunch of pandan leaves and try it. so she went ahead and buy some, just for experiment. we put it to places where roaches usually stay, in our house, they usually hide under the sink and in the cr. and guess what, it's really effective..it doesnt really kill the insect but there's something i it that drives cockroaches away. i tried to search it in wikipedia and i didnt find any proven studies that it is an insect repellent but what we did simply justified it. i also found an article (http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=52160) about a group of students in Malaysia who invented pandan candles as an insect repellent and won the Young Inventor Award. now that we're really using it, i only see few like 1 or 2 cockroaches in each areas in our house where we tried it into..and im so happy..hahaha..i also put some in my room. i just dont know what's in that plant, given the fact that it is even being used as food flavoring to add tasty aroma. well, im not really interested with that anymore.. what more important is i found my hero..hihihi.. so of course im recommending it to other people, especially those who have some kind of phobia like me.

it's back!






finally after about a week of unstable internet connection, smart bro techs came and fix my line. i thought they're going to change the antenna, but fortunately they did not have to because according to them the access point where im getting the connection just got crowded and so they just need to change the source of my access point, which is really great because it was less hassle for everyone becasue i thought they need to go up through our roof and do all the work of changing the antenna. they just did some configurations on their server and after like 10 minutes, it's done! :) im connected again.. and ofcourse (for verifying the fix) i tried to recreate the problem (para sure diba), i restarted the pc then checked if ill be connected and it did, i shutdown then restart then tried to connect and it's still connecting so..good! i did offer them miryenda but there were really in a hurry because they need to visit another location for troubleshooting, so they just left..and im happy.
