Don't let the bed bugs bite...

We all hate mosquitoes and other similar pests. Most of us in the western hemisphere don't worry about contracting malaria from a mosquito bite. But in Africa, malaria is a leading cause of death of children. It kills nearly one million children each year and every day 3,000 children die from the disease.

NothingButNets.net is a campaign to save lives by preventing malaria. By donating only $10, you can purchase an anti-malaria bed net.

Watch the video below or follow the link above to gain more information or make a donation. It's really simple!

Speaking of insect bites, I had a problem with ants in my room back in the hostel. The other day when I was sleeping, I suddenly felt this strange tingling sensation on my legs. Analysis? Ants everywhere on my bed! I looked at my laptop and it was literally infested with ants underneath the keyboard! They were crawling everywhere on and INTO my Laptop! Couldn't they just find a better place to explore? Perhaps they just wanted to spend some time in there? The strange thing though is that there was no food whatsoever in the room. Lol
Well, I think mosquito bites are worse so I am thankful!
Btw, this is a good post as you are giving some incentive to donate by spreading awareness.
Keep it up!

Can u imagine that? Lol, those ants really like computers!

Unfortunately, I couldn't get rid of them completely so I have to inform the management.
