Clean up day
About 3 days ago, after I came back home from work, I noticed there was a medium size cockroach on my living room floor!
People that know me, know that I hate bugs. When I was still in college, I lived in this old apartment complex, I am not gonna name it. For some reason, my kitchen caught on roaches. It’s the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. You probably don’t believe me when I say this, but I have never seen a cockroach in my life, until I came to the US. Every night when I went to the kitchen and turn on the light, those little things would just crawl away as fast as they could. I think I developed a phobia on those bugs, I always have this image in my head that when I am sleeping, the bugs will crawl into my mouth and lay eggs there, and next morning when I wake up, I will have a mouth full of bugs and their eggs! So you can imagine how scary that is!
So I moved out that apartment as soon as I could, and lived a bug-free life ever since, till recently…
I mean my apartment is pretty clean, I usually clean it every week, maybe sometimes once two weeks. But now the weather is getting hot, and the bugs are coming out, don’t even mention my apartment building is built in the 1960s, bugs love old buildings!
So this weekend, I decided to do some more cleaning, and after a day of hard work, I felt kinda good, so I went to Lowes and got 3 more plants for my apartment. I had 3 plants, Aya helped me to pick them out when I first move in here, but they just don’t seem enough anymore. I love plants, maybe because I worked in the Department of Plant Pathology for 3 years. When I was working there, I always enjoyed going to the Horticulture greenhouse to see what kinda of new plants they’ve got. At one time I even thought about taking some classes on Horticulture, so in the future when I have a house, I can do my own gardening (A garden with no bugs that is!).
I took some pictures after all these to show you guys. (click on the picture to get a bigger version)
My bed with clean sheets, looks quite comfy.
I have this shelf in my living room, I got from IKEA, never knew what to put on it, so today I kinda organized it and put some books and magazines, along with the plants, some pictures as well. You can see I have a rice cooker on the bottom, coz I haven’t eaten rice for a while, and I don’t have a place to put that rice cooker.
Plant #1, called the Money Tree, supposed to bring good fortune to you. Don’t get me wrong, I am not superstitious on this kinda things, this is a plant that requires low light, so it’s perfect for indoor.
Plant #2, called Fittonia Red Vein, also requires low light, and it’s actually quite unique looking – the vein on the leaves is actually pink color, very nice.
Plant #3, called Dieffenbachia Triumph. Don’t ask me what that means, I don’t know either. All I know is that it needs medium light and I love the color of the leaves.
Some of my books and magazines.
