Some serious infectious diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever, are transmitted by insect bites. While there are vaccines and drugs available to help protect against some of these diseases, travellers are advised to always protect against mosquito bites. Some tips include:

• Wear mosquito repellent that contains at least 30 per cent DEET.
• Stay indoors between dusk and dawn. The mosquitoes carrying the malaria parasite generally feed at this time.
• Apply repellent, such as permethrin, to your clothes and bedding.
• Wear socks, long pants, and long-sleeve shirts when outdoors.
• Use a bed net.
• Stay in airconditioned, screened accommodation.

For about two weeks now, I have been sleeping really late around 3 am and waking up too early like 5 or 6 am. I have no choice because I have to finish several assignments. But, I am not complaining as I like what I am doing. Just that I have been seeing various eye problems like fine lines and dark circles. I never thought that I will see these results in such a short time. Or I am just too paranoid with my looks. Hahaha! Actually, I don’t particularly use this product. This will be the first time. So, I have to take further steps to learn more about it.

Well, to reduce eye problems I searched for the best eye cream that fits my needs. Different formulation serves different purposes to specifically combat the environmental conditions that cause various eye problems. Since I have fine lines and dark circles, I need to search for that specific formulation.

Luckily, my future sister-in-law sends me some goodies an eye cream and facial moisturizer. As if she is my angel for sending me what I need and exactly the formulation I need for my fine lines and dark circles. Thank you very much!

As mom and I chat last week, she mentioned that my dad will turn 50 this year. That would mean mom will turn 49 in November. I did not even realize that they are getting old and I haven’t accomplished my promises yet. I begin to feel guilty towards them. I said that I will let them live in a beautiful house with all the amenities we never had before. Five years after graduating, nothing is happening yet.

But, I am still positive that I’ll be able to comply with what I said. Probably the house that I am going to build will not likely be same as what I have in mind before. Maybe it will be an elderly friendly house with all the safety embellishments like walk in tubs and furniture. I hope everything I have in mind now will happen soon. They are getting older. I don’t want them to feel I intend to break my promises because I never do.
