The last thing that you want to see in the home is a string of ants or a nest of bees lurking on the porch. A Naples exterminator can get rid of your pest problem in a short time. It's important not to get around any pests that are dangerous, such as wasps or large animals that roam outside. The animals could pose a healthy risk if you are bitten. 

When you use products that you get at the store, you might use too many at a time. These can be detrimental to your health and the health of other family members. An exterminator will use just the right amount of pesticides to kill the pests that are in and around the home. Most exterminators use products that are safe for the family and the environment. 

After the exterminator kills the pests in the home, you will see that there are fewer illnesses as there are some insects that can bite you while you're sleeping or while you're sitting in a chair or on a couch, such as fleas and bedbugs. You won't spend as much time cleaning up after dead pests in the home. You might see a few dead bugs on the floor after the exterminator is finished, but once the pests are out of the home, then you will see that you aren't sweeping behind the refrigerator or under cabinets. 

At times, you might feel like there are bugs crawling on you while you're in bed. It could be your imagination, but it could also be that there are small bugs crawling on the skin at night. An exterminator can help relieve these feelings so that you feel better at night. This will also give you more time to spend with the family since you aren't losing sleep at night and since you aren't as worried about the bugs that you find in the home. You will save money that is spent on products that you get in the store that might not even work like the professional products that an exterminator uses when he comes to the home.

In loving memory of my dearly departed Tatay. It's been four years now. How are you up there?

Sad to say, I cannot qualify myself as Super Mom. I have so many shortcomings. With three kids at home, my time is not enough to attend to all their needs. I haven't able to attend to my son's school activities. Last activity that they have was the culmination for Buwan ng Wika. I was still on maternity leave by that time. However, it happened during the vaccination schedule of my youngest daughter and she was really in pain at that time that I just cannot leave her like that. My husband was also busy during that time and all he could do is to fetch our son to school. While his classmates was with their parents, my son was all alone.

Sad life.

Are you having this kind of bed at home? If that so, your bedroom is such a heavenly place and for sure you wouldn't want to go somewhere else to rest. However, with the crises we are facing in our economy, living comfortably comes with a price.

Good thing there is Groupon Goods available that will provide us comfort for less. In fact, we can achieve that look of a perfect bed with its accessories for only $69.99 (the original value is $309.99), just make sure you will avail it before their promo expires. Other than bed accessories, Groupon has a lot of discounted goods and services to offer. Indeed, Groupon allows you to live comfortably without emptying your pocket. They never run out of things to offer and you can be assured of their legitimacy.

After giving birth to my daughter last month, I was quite worried about the future. I was asking myself if I could afford to give my three kids a comfortable life that they deserve. Well, of course, I should be positive that I can. With the help of my husband, enough patience and perseverance in our work, and being practical plus wisdom and guidance coming from God- I should be calm about the future.

And what's more? There's Groupon that would back me up. For updates of their latest offers, check their facebook page and follow them on Twitter

Who wouldn't love to live in a peaceful environment? I am sure, all of us dreamed of it. However, for as long as there are individuals with bad intentions who wouldn't have a second thought to harm others in one way or another, that peaceful environment would just remain a thought. 

To be honest, the news about killing nowadays involving drug menace were alarming indeed, but to consider all those incidents as EXTRAJUDICIAL KILLING is an exaggeration. Well, we cannot deny the fact that some of those in authority abused their power and their fear of getting caught with their involvement compelled them to kill those pushers and users that may jeopardize their career. But those case are now under investigation.

The recent Senate Probe led by Senator Delima to discredit the war against drugs because of the so-called EJK was, for me, her way of diverting the issue that she was facing right now, delaying tactics, so to speak. Or maybe she was just trying her effort to save her "friends from NBP" from possible "laglagan" moves that would justify her involvement. Well, whatever was her motives, I just hope that this war against drugs will be successful. Sorry, but I am not sorry for those who were killed, with clear evidences, because of drugs. In the first place, they should be aware that by the time they got their hands dirty, they could get themselves killed. I am more than sorry for those who were murdered by those drug addicts.

Indeed, Senator Peter Cayetano's opening statement on one of the Senate's Probe about EJK on August 22, 2016 was an eye opener. You can view that in YouTube

Some church leaders have figured out that if they want to effectively serve their population, they have to do more than just encourage people to pray or read Bible verses during church. More and more, the modern ministry is about serving the full needs of the people. This is particularly important because of the way that many people view the church today. For many people, the church is a place where they go to get all their needs met. This means that pastors like David Taylor are learning to account for the shifting needs of their members. 

Many pastors are learning that physical healing is a critical part of being a pastor. While pastors cannot do what doctors can do, they can provide the necessary support that will help individuals get the most out of their treatment. Modern pastors are disavowing the old ministry methods of healing. They aren't making big promises to their church members about being healed from cancer in a matter of minutes. Rather, good pastors have learned that the best thing they can do is provide the sort of atmosphere where people feel supported. Those individuals can then go and fight cancer and other diseases with the help of a good team of medical professionals. 

In addition, modern ministry leaders are learning that church members need support in their personal and professional lives. People come to church today not just to learn about the Bible, but to learn how to get the most out of themselves. Some church leaders have learned to tailor their messages toward these particular needs. Each and every week within churches, there are people who are looking for a word of encouragement to help them get through a tough time at work. They are looking for a confidence boost to help them maximize their work performance. Pastors do not have to be silent about this. Rather, they can play an important role in helping people achieve these particular goals. 

Modern pastors are doing more than they ever have before. While pastors of old might have decided that spiritual needs were the only needs that mattered, modern pastors have started to learn that their success in the church depends heavily on their ability to meet all the needs of the people who choose to come to their church.

If you have a backyard patio that simply consists of a concrete slab, you may have thought about doing something to improve it. There are many things you can do that range from simple to complex. The following are four ideas for you to consider. 

Have an awning installed

This is a relatively low cost way to improve your patio. You will have less sun during the daytime, and you will also be able to sit outside during the springtime when there is a light rain. You can store things outside without worrying about the sunlight damaging them as well. There are different types of awnings available, some are more complex than others, offering more options to the homeowner.


Enclose the patio with screens

Instead of an awning, you can have a more permanent structure built. This will be something that is far short of an expansion of your house, but you can have something more akin to a roof than an awning. You can also have three sides attached to the roof that rise up a few feet, then have screens installed the rest of the way up. They can be permanent or a removable screen. The latter will give you more options.

Create a greenhouse

Short of actually building a room addition, you can convert your patio to a greenhouse. This is perfect for a person whose loves gardening, but doesn't have the room in their yard, or perhaps the seasons are such that you can't grow what you want to grow, when you want to grow it. There are different ways to convert your patio to a greenhouse, but the fastest is to use prefabricated panels. 


Convert your patio into an outdoor room

This is the most expensive thing to do with your patio, but if you want more room in your home, but don't want to build an additional bedroom, you can create an expansion area using your patio area. You will need to have both design and construction work done on your home, but when you are finished, you will have a larger living room to enjoy. 

The ideas listed above are only four of the possibilities that you can consider for the future of your patio area. Some of these ideas can become expensive, but there are often low cost designs available for each of the four items list above.

The driveway at your home might have seen better days. It might have quite a few pieces of concrete missing that cause a bumpy ride every time you drive your car over it. You have been wanting to do something about your driveway for quite some time. However, other expenses always seem to get in the way. You have reached a point where you can no longer tolerate driving over a driveway that is in a terrible state of disrepair. It is damaging your car and it needs to be fixed as soon as possible. The good news is that there are many benefits to repairing your driveway. Here are just a few of them.

1. Increased property value

Home improvements always add value to homes. The value is greater when the improvement is very significant. The value of your home will go up considerably if you decide to make a major home improvement like having your driveway completely repaved. This will be very important if you ever decide to sell your home in the future. Trying to sell your home with the driveway in a serious state of disrepair will be very difficult. Potential buyers will know that they will have a major repair expense if they decide to buy your home. Therefore, they will make a lower offer on your home than they would have if your driveway was perfect.

2. Improved driveway appearance

A damaged driveway is certainly no fun for you to drive over every day. However, it is not very thrilling to look at either. Seeing those holes created by missing chunks of concrete is a major eye sore that no homeowner would be proud of. This is why you should try to get it fixed if you have the financial means to do so. You might also want to consider having some sealcoating in Minneapolis performed at the same time.

3. Less damage to your car

Driving over a driveway with major potholes in it will eventually take a serious toll on your car. This could eventually lead to many expensive car repairs. These are more headaches that you do not need. Simply crossing your fingers and hoping that your car will not get damaged is not the way that you should handle the situation. Being proactive and having your driveway repaired before your car gets damaged is the smart thing to do.

Great thing starts from small beginning.

That is why, when one of the TV personality made a comment regarding the plans of President Duterte in the area of discipline to which she described as "should be within the local level only and the President should focus on the bigger issues" it really made my brows arching in disgust.

There are many areas that the President have already implemented on his very hometown and he wanted such areas to be applied to the entire nation simply because he found it to be really effective.

What are those issues and concerns that the President wants to deal with to the entire archipelago?

First, the Anti-smoking ordinance. Actually, this is one of the ordinances here in CDO that seems to be neglected, or ignored. Smokers are not supposed to smoke in public places and utilities like in the waiting area, terminals, public vehicles, and any open spaces where the crowds are there. However, this has been ignored completely. The ordinance did exist but it was never justified. I could only hope that by this time, such ordinance and its corresponding sanctions for violators will be finally imposed. Who would like to waste their money and pay a penalty fee of Php 10,000.00 for violating this ordinace nowadays?

Second, the Liquor ban. I know many business establishments, particularly clubs, night hang-out areas, cafes, and the like are not happy with these. Well, I felt sorry for them but this is just right. Being in the influence of alcoholic drink can bring someone to his untimely death or could even break a family. The simple reminder that says,"When you drink don't drive; when you drive, don't drink" is not enough anymore. Though the liquor ban is just within a specified period of time, not totally banned for the entire day, but still it has negative impacts tot he society.

Third, eradication of drug users/pushers that brought menace to the society. I thought only the rich people can afford to buy drugs but I was absolutely wrong. Most of those who were raided, captured, caught in the act pushers are those people who don't even have a decent job. I know they're operating as front-liner of those filthy rich drug syndicates but I am so sad for them because they allow themselves to be used. When they were caught, most of them do not admit being used as instrument for fear maybe of the life of their family- in short, most of them were made to promise not to divulge, otherwise the life of their family will be in danger. But who's to blame? No one else but their very own self. Like what the President said, Poverty should not be used as reason for involving in drug syndicate. Imagine the lives of those who were become their victims.

Fourth, the curfew for minors. Well, as of this writing, it was already wee hour in the morning yet I can still hear minors yelling, talking on the street. I wonder where their parents are. It cannot be denied that sometimes, parents do not know how to control their children but then it's not a valid reason for them to allow their children to wander around because accident could happen anytime to them.

Well, so far, these are just among the "MINOR ISSUES" that the President has to implement. But these minor things once implemented fully will make a difference in the society. I can sense it. People, (that's us) will become more cautious, more discipline and most of all, will learn how to respect other people. 

By just merely thinking the effect of all these things, it made me smile.

With the anticipation of incoming President Rodrigo Duterte to take an oath as our 16th Philippine President, I have been following reports about him and his plan as soon as he assume the presidency. One of the "hot" items that is circulating in the media right now is his stand in favor of death penalty, not by lethal injection, but by hanging. As expected, this was creating different reaction from the society and of course, the CBCP and the Human Rights advocate are purely against it. Well, that's their opinion, but as for me, I am into it.

Why am I in favor of death penalty?

There are numerous reasons why I am in favor of it. As we can see, statistic shows that incident involving heinous crime is soaring high and the culprit who have been proven guilty are spending their life in the prison and some are even having a good time, being treated like a VIP.

Imposing a death penalty is just right for those culprit whom we can consider as cold-blooded animal who never hesitated to kill or abuse anyone. If we are too lenient with imposing bigger penalties for those who have no hesitations in committing a crime, their number will continue to grow. As for me, these people should serve as warning for others in committing as such. And as for those who are strongly against this law, maybe they will have a change of mind if they will consider those victims as one of their own. Besides, once this will become a law again, it will have a different impact for those who are abusive not unless they do not fear untimely death.
