Mowers on the Go

Having a landscaping company or should I say, when you're in the garden and landscaping business you don't have a reason for not having a well kept garden at your home. It's so ironic why others with all the access to their equipments and garden tools still maintain a non-kept garden.

Summer is just around the corner here in Manila and the weather forecast today till end of May will be very hot. This is the right time to tend our gardens especially our lawns because they tend to wilt easily during this summer season. What we do is we first mow the grass using lawnmowers so that the cutting of the grass will be even. Then we soak the lawn with water every morning so that the soil will still be a bit damp in the afternoon. But if the weather is really too hot, we water our gardens twice a day or we use our irrigation system in which timed sprinklers are being used to help us save water.

One of my favorite brands in lawnmowers is the Bosch Rotak mowers. These are electric rotary mowers that works well on small areas. These mowers consists of innovative combs that will give your lawns a very neat touch and trims the edges perfectly. Like the petrol-driven lawnmowers, the bosch rotak provides the power that will satisfy every user with it's unimaginable power.

But for those who are saving power and electricity, there is also the option of petrol lawnmowers. These lawnmowers are powered with the use of petrol oils which can be diesel or gasoline. For me, these are ideal for large areas especially when dealing with golf courses and putting greens that stretches for miles. I think these mowers conserve more power and less maintenance when it comes to its parts.

Whatever kind of mower you'd prefer, the beauty of your home on the outside depends on the beauty of your garden. And its beauty will also depend if you will always have a well-kept lawn and garden. Always make time to keep your lawn neat and well trimmed by using these mowers. They will really make the job easier, faster and worthwhile. It's a very good investment for your family and home.

Tooth Implants

I have heard so many implants these days starting on hair implants, breast implants, organ implants like the heart, liver, and kidneys. In the dental world, tooth implants are also peformed. I am so afraid of procedures that requires operations like implants. Even though they will administer anestecia so that I will not feel anything, I really can't see myself doing the procedure. But if you ask me when the time comes when the dentist will ask me if what do I prefer, false teeth or implants? I would definitely choose implants. I can't imagine myself using false teeth!

I didn't take a good care of my teeth when I was still a child so I'm paying for it now. I already have 2 molars gone and there ar spaces between my teeth. So since I'm not going to use false teeth, I'll make do with the implants so that my teeth will have no spaces in between. I think the first thing the dentist will do to my teeth is to have the implants in place then I will have to have braces so that my teeth will be tighten to minimize the spaces in between in teeth. I have read from the internet that the best dentists that uses this kind of procedure can be found in Arizona Dental clinics. They have the best Arizona dentists in town especially Mesa Arizona dentists. So if you're planning to have a tooth impalnt procedure, be sure that your dentist is well informed about this procedure. Although it's an out-patient procedure, it's still an operation.

My Labor of Love

I just want to share with you all what my labor of love is. I arranged a basket of roses, carnation and a very beautiful flower which I don't know the name, LOL.... as a gift for my mom on Mother's Day. I can easily buy a bouque of roses or an already arranged flowers on a flower shop but I know that my mom will greatly appreciate these flowers because she knows that this is truly my labor of love for her. Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Advertising on Blogs

Blogging has been my stress reliever for quite some time now. It's been 2 years now since I started I blogs and I've been having fun doing posts about my everyday activities especially with my work and business. It's like having an online journal of your daily happenings. I can also stress out all of my worries and problems here whenever I feel I needed to. Like I said, blogging is a stress reliever.

But did you know that some bloggers monetise their blogs by having advertisers advertise on their sites? Some will requests original and honest product reviews from websites and you can get paid to blog. It's like having an online job at the comfort of your own home. And I think it's going global and many bloggers are grabbing this kind of revenue and opportunity. You can get paid from $5 up to $100 per post depending on your page rank and traffic. The higher the traffic and rank, the higher the offer advertisers will give you. One blog advertising that I discovered is PayingPost.com. Not only that they help bloggers but advertisers as well to build up their business.

Like me for instance, I have a business in landscaping and pest control at the moment. Blog advertising will help me bring in more cortumers if I advertise on related blogs like mine. It will also save me thousands instead of spending on billborads and telephone directories for advertising. More and more people now are depending on the internet for information so I guess this is really a very good way to gain more profit not only as a blogger but as an advertise ras well. So advertising on blogs will really help any business.

~~ White Powder Puff ~~

This is the first time that I saw a white powder puff. Usually there are red ones and I'm really amazed to see this one of a kind powder puff. Do you know any other color?

Exterra at work

Here's a peek on how Exterra works. This in-ground station had already been infested with termites after a day of installing just right besides a termite colony. The Focus, a termite attractant really works because you can see here that after 24 hours of installing this station, the termites are already made their way inside it, devouring the 6 pieces wooden interceptors. I've already put the Requiem bait to start the elimination of the whole colony.

Camera Critters #6 - Thinking of a New Pet

I was thinking of having another pet dog on our house. We already have a Belgian Mallinoi and a Shitz Tsu. I was having seconds thoughts weather to have another Shitz Tsu or another breed this time. If I'm going for another breed, I think having a Siberian Husky in the house would be very cool. When we went to the Vet's clinic last Saturday to buy Coffee's powder (my Shitz Tsu pet), we saw this very big and friendly Alaskan Malamute on the petshop besides the vet's clinic. They also have two Siberian Huskies there, a male and a female. This Alaskan Malamute is a male named Boxter. I was scared at first especially when he stood up to greet me and my two kids. The caretaker assured us that Boxter is very friendly. True enough, he let my daughter take his picture and even let her pet him. He is a year old and would grow even more bigger. Wow! Maybe I'll just stict to the huskies, LOL!

First Stations

These are the stations that I installed in our house in Paranaque. I installed 11 in ground stations, 1 above ground and a bait bag inside our cabinet filled with bait because the termite infestation there is already severe.

Before installing the in ground stations, a hole should be made using an auger, then put 1 1/2 scoops of Focus termite attractant then moist with distilled water to release CO2.

My Initial Stocks

At last, I already purchased my initial stock for my new pest control business. Exterra allowed me to purchase the stocks even if I haven't submitted the requirements they needed for me to have a license. I just gave them a photo copy of my DTI application as proof that I will submit eventually. I am so excited to start right away, installing the first stations on our own house. Here are the initial stocks that I purchase to start with.

Camera Critters #5 - Pawikan

This lovely creature is best seen in the deep waters of Palawan. We saw this baby Pawikan when we were snorkling along the beaches of El Nido, Palawan. Our tour guide allowed us to hold this baby turtle for a photo shoot. After the shots, the turtle was set free again to enjoy the waters of the sea. I think these turtles are already near extinction if we don't do something to save them.
