Yes, quite a mouthful actually.
The Ilog Maria Sting-less Citronella Insect Repellent with Propolis repels mosquitoes without chemical since it uses plant oils.
Why use this? With dengue fever cases rising and seems like the end is not in sight, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Living in the city is synonymous to being busy and having a hurried and harried life.
The sound of vehicles, the heat, the smog and the lack of trees around make people just accept urban living as devoid of nature’s sights and sounds OR they might crave for it’s beauty, peace and quiet.
The sky which in itself is like a canvas where wonderful colors can be seen can sometimes be dull.
Instead of seeing sunrise and sunset colors as well as cloud formations which people often times do not appreciate, we sometimes see airplanes, huge ones, flying above our heads. Not that its bad to see these, no not at all.
So I decided to try zooming in on some interesting objects that I can see around me for comparison.
An airplane flying overhead. One of the common things being noticed in the sky because of the noise it makes or the lights it flashes at night.
People rarely stop to smell the roses, so to speak. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by trees and therefore we often hear the sounds of birds, playing happily among the branches, twittering and chirping.
it is quite difficult to take photos of birds because they do not stay in one place for long and I am just glad I was able to capture this photo (plus other bird photos) when I spent some time “bird watching” on the third floor of hubby’s family home.
Which photo do you prefer?

Last week, when my mother blogger friends and I had dinner at the Fish and Co. in TriNoma, we discussed about several people who review restaurants.
We might be turning into something like these people because of these once a month dinners we have been having the past few months.
Apparently, these people who do restaurant reviews do not just review the food that they eat.
They take photos of the food and rate these according to their own ratings and satisfaction scale. Food presentation, aroma, taste, eating utensils and cleanliness are just a few of the things they take notice of.
They even rate the interiors as well as the overall appearance of the restaurant, including the colors and the lighting.
The personnel are also scrutinized as well if they are good in public relations or lacking in it.
And I was quite surprised to learn that these people who review restaurants also rate the bathrooms/restrooms! Well, that probably should be on the list, if I may say so, since bathrooms/restrooms do not only provide relief but comfort as well.

Imagine washing your hands on a clean bathroom sink with Delta faucets, that would be a nice experience. I could probably recommend this to my brother-in-law who is an interior designer himself who has done some restaurants.

We were supposed to go to a car show yesterday but the children didn’t want to leave the house anymore when to started to rain. So we just stayed home and each did his and her own thing. At least hubby changed my blogs’ themes. A lot of tweaking here and there but in the end, one both of these would have to be changed if one of my favorite plug ins won’t work fine.
The custom or modified question can refer to the themes since even if these were customized, still some modifications are needed to suit a blogger’s needs.
Or, this can mean cars. Yes, cars.
We have been to a lot of car shows. Not that we plan to buy a new car, no, that would have to be eons from now. Its just that getting near these cars gives us the “feel good” feeling.
Stock or modified?
Stock cars are cars and trucks that have not been changed in any way. It looks exactly like how to it looked when it got off the assembly line or production site. This term can also mean production based cars used for racing.
Here is an example of a stock car that I want (of course, this is by no means an ordinary stock car since it’s engine have been modified and is better than ordinary engines):
Custom cars or modified cars or tuner cars on the other hand, are those that have been changed according to the owner’s specifications, needs and style.
There are many ways to modify a car: paint, mag wheels, body art, airbrush designs, neon lights, door conversions, steering wheels, wide body kits plus a lot more!
Here is an example of a custom or modified or a tuner car:
So would you go for the stock car or the modified car?

I have blogged about my Power Peel experience at the Belo Medical Clinic’s bloggers invite last Saturday night in this post.
I have seen lots of wrinkles, wrinkled skin and things that are wrinkled in my Photo Hunt entry entitled Wrinkled.
Now I want to ask this 14th Weekly Question:
What are your facial or beauty regimens that you do before you go to sleep?
You can also write about what you do to keep your skin soft and smooth.
My answer:
I seldom put anything on my face before going to sleep. I just wash my face with Dove Moisturizing White Beauty Bar. No cream applications, moisturizers nor other facial creams.
I know with my age, I should be doing more than this but I don’t. Not yet, maybe I will.
Any suggestions?
