Lemon Grass or Citronella?

One mean to drive insects away is by planting herbal plants at home and one of the famous is citronella.

Mommy and I were discussing that we can make our own insect sprays from these plants by extracting its oil. Naalala ko tuloy bigla ang undergraduate thesis ko. I extracted the active components from the roots of Duranta plant and use this to test it it has anti-tumor properties.

On Kamachile, Duhat and Sineguelas

We visited our hometown two weeks ago but returned back here in Bulacan in the afternoon. Balikan lang talaga. Tiring but very happy especially seeing your parents happy to be with Matt kahit konting oras lang.
