The saying “Ni Ayaw Padapuan sa Lamok” is one of the kasabihan you get to know once you become a parent. That’s was one of the things I made sure when I gave birth to Ykaie (11 years ago). Aside from mosquito nets, we started using electric mosquito killers in our bedroom in my parents’ house and we usually put it under her crib to keep her from mosquitoes.

Another reason is because my husband, peanutbutter♥ is like a mosquito magnet. Mosquitoes follow him everywhere. We took that electric mosquito killer when we moved into our new home five years ago pero nasira na sya. We didn’t immediately buy a new one but we resorted to other methods like insect killer spray, lotions, mosquito nets or kulambo. The problem with the insect killer spray is that we can only use it on a certain place at home when it’s not being used. For example, we spray in the bedroom during day time when we are not there and in the kitchen and living room during night time naman kapag matutulog na kami to avoid inhaling it.

Lotions are effective but it’s  more of personal use and you have to apply it a couple of times a day. As for the kulambo, well, ayoko talaga ng kulambo… heehee

This prompted us to buy a new one and it’s an Akari Mosquito Killer, this time. We found it more effective if we combine the insect killer spray, the lotion, and the electric mosquito killer. The electric mosquito killer kasi provides protection to a larger area which offers protection to more individuals — the whole family.

It’s really scary to contract a mosquito-borne disease because it is deadly. I actually got more scared of it when the Department of Health declared a national Dengue epidemic due to the alarming number of cases that exceeded the epidemic alert thresholds. A total of 271,480 cases were reported nationwide from January 1 to August 31, 2019 which is 95% higher than the same periods last year.

AKARI MOSQUITO KILLERS

The Akari Mosquito Killers are heavy duty. It attracts both flies and mosquito with it’s UV rays and upon contact zaps them by an electric grid up to 2200 volts.

It comes in both horizontal and vertical orientation. If you’d like to save space, the vertical mosquito killer is perfect because it’s 360 degree opening means it can attract mosquitoes from all angles.

What’s nice about both of these is that the UV lamp is replaceable and it’s very easy to do as well. Coverage is up to 300sq/ft and working life is up to 15,000 hours.

AKARI MOSQUITO TRAPPER & MOSQUITO BULB

The Akari Mosquito Trapper lures and sucks flies and mossquitoes with its vacuum feature and traps them inside instead of zapping them. It’s detachable tray is designed for easy cleaning. Since it doesn’t zap, this device is quiet and perfect in the bedroom or commercial establishments.

Akari Mosquito Bulb is the latest addition to the Akari family and potentially, this is the future of  electric mosquito killers. It functions both as a normal bulb and a mosquito killer and will work with a normal light bulb receptacle and switch. Dual purpose = saving.

AKARI 20W ELECTRIC MOSQUITO KILLER (AEMK – S20W)

Meet the latest addition to our family. Yes, dalawa na ang electric mosquito killer namin, yeey!

What I Love About it

• It has a coverage of 60sqm
• It has two 10w UV lamp power
• It has a 1400 zapping voltage
• It has a removable tray for easy cleaning
• The UV lamps are replaceable, no need to buy a new one kapag napundi na.
• There’s a cleaning brush included for cleaning the zapping grid and a hanging chain should you wish to hang it.

So far, our Akari Mosquito Killers keeps our family safe from mosquitoes. Minsan marinig mo na lang na may zinazap sila kahit na feeling mo wala naman mosquito sa paligid. Makikita mo na lang mamaya ang dami ng patay na mosquitoes na tray.

Do you know that visualization can help you achieve your goals without much struggle? Research shows that for you to feel motivated in attaining your set goals, or if you want to accomplish successful results, you must visualize first. It’s worthy to note that visualization is an essential instrument in every individual.

Don’t forget that every time you envision what you want to accomplish in a given task, your mind will document the visualized outcome as it is. As a result, the product of your undertaking will be a success too. Here are some tips on how visualization can help you attain excellent performance in life.

1. Set clear goals

You will never accomplish anything good in life if you don’t clarify what you want to achieve. For instance, if you have a vague ambition like, “I want to be wealthy,” until you clarify how well-off you want to be, you may never attain anything. However, if you do what you are thriving to accomplish clearly, you will visualize the exact results of the way you desire the events to unfold.

Note that when you focus on a specific target in life, visualization becomes a powerful tool in fulfilling your dreams as you base those goals on reality.

2. Be precise about what you want

If you are looking forward to accomplishing the best results, you have to be specific on what exactly you want to bring about. For instance, if you aspire to top in a match, you have to visualize from the beginning of the game, the middle, and the end. Think of how you can start the competition on a high note, how you will continue outstanding till the end.

The reason why visualization will work entirely is that envisioning the results of an occurrence can accelerate the release of dopamine in our brain. This neurotransmitter chemical helps one to work hard to achieve the predicted outcome. Therefore, visualizing the exact results that you want to accomplish at the end of a given task is essential in realizing top performance.

3. Be confident

Do you know that uncertainty can act as a barrier towards achieving your set goals? It’s therefore essential that you are positive whenever you are working towards attaining top performance. Nevertheless, you may lack self-confidence or feel inexperienced when working on a particular task.

In this situation, if you want to be successful in achieving your goals, you have to trace the roots of that uncertainty. Note that when you are confident, you will also be calm.

The peace that you feel when you are not worried about anything can make visualization to work excellently on making even the impossible to happen as you are sure what you are imagining will be achieved.

4. Have positive emotions

Visualization is the use of imagination to generate a picture of what you are thriving to accomplish in life, and how you can achieve it. You, therefore, require positive thinking and emotions for better results. Note that the right emotions can stimulate the brain to accomplish what you have visualized.

Since visualization is like creating false thinking in your brain, you need to be confident to achieve the best. Remember that your mind must feel that what you are trying to obtain is achievable, and this will depend on your thinking. Otherwise, you will fail in your undertaking.

For you to be successful, you have to visualize the obstacles you think you will encounter when working on your goal, and how you will feel when you overcome the challenges. Rehearse how you will go about every step in your mind, and expect to attain perfect results as you have practiced severally in your mind.

5. Avoid fantasizing when visualizing

Do you know that fantasizing can weaken your energy when trying to work hard to realize top performance? What then? You have to imagine having great outcomes in your set goals, but never fantasize succeeding.

Research shows that positive fantasies can make anxiety to overcome you, and as a result, you may lack the power to put more effort for you to attain top performance.

Therefore, instead of daydreaming, you can consider something that you are good at or that you appreciate in life and visualization will work ideally as you are envisioning something familiar to you. Sheila Moon from Psychic 2 Tarot explains that a method for making you more present in day-to-day life is to keep a journal and write in it daily – even if it’s only to write one thing that you are grateful for.

In this case, since the things that you record on a daily basis are familiar to you, the power of visualization will make your dreams valid. Remember that it’s like you are memorizing your ideas both in your journal and in mind. Why won’t visualization work for you then?

Visualization is essential in making great things happen in your life. However, for you to be successful in your endeavors, you must retain positive emotions, avoid fantasizing your dreams, be specific, and set clear goals.

Remember to visualize every step of your task, the challenges you can come across, how you can overcome them, and the outcome you are thriving to achieve. As a result, the power of visualization will make your dreams to come true.
