The federal income tax credit for homebuyers has been extended and expanded to now include homeowners who wish to “move on” after 5 years of living in their current property, as well as first-time homebuyers.

* First-time homebuyers, or those who have not owned in the last three years, can receive up to an $8,000 tax credit
* Homeowners who have lived in a current home consecutively for 5 of the past 8 years can receive up to a $6,500 tax credit
* There may be no future extensions, so all qualified homebuyers are urged to act and have a written, binding contract by April 30, 2010 (close by June 30, 2010)
* Income limits are now $125,000 for singles, $225,000 for married couples with a $20,000 phase-out of the credit for both.

According to The National Association of Realtors News Release, dated 11/5/09, an estimated $22 billion has already been added to the general economy resulting from the bill and approximately 2 million people will utilize the tax credit in 2009.

Anyway, I know a site where you can get lots of discounts from Dell Ink Cartridges as well as other cartridges and other electronics.

Anyway, Sam just turned 2 months old last February 6 and because of that I already started making her familiar with the water. I did let her play on the pool good thing she loves being in the water. She didn’t cry even if the water is cold for her. Funny thing is she even slept will she is in the water, hehehe.

Since she is already 2 months old I am now starting to prepare for her Christening. I am now looking for a nice giveaways for her soon to be godparents and everyone who will visit her that day. I’m thinking of having her baptized on April 7 at The St. Paul Parish Church. As for the giveaways, I am going to bake some cupcakes and another gift that I still don’t know. I’m thinking of giving them a tumbler because it will be very useful for them.

Here’s the photo of the cupcake we made on her 2nd month birthday celebration. Just don’t mind the cupcake on top, hehehe.

What do you guys think? Will cupcakes be a good idea aside from the other giveaway that I’m still thinking.

And here are some other photos of Sam and me, enjoy her cuteness and don’t mind my face.

PS. There is something wrong with my theme that I don’t know how to figure out. But if you leave a comment and an error 404 appeared don’t worry because your comments have been sent. I just wish I know how to fix it.

Anyway, 2 months to get to know Sam, and this is what I’ve learned:

1. She likes to take a bath.
2. She eats (or drinks) a lot and when I say a lot I do mean it.
3. She likes to talk a lot but of course we all know that babies can’t still talk but only make sounds. At her age, I think she’s kind of a little advance.
4. She yells whenever you don’t pay attention to her.
5. She likes to go outside.
6. She already know how to suck her thumb and I didn’t even teach her to do that.
7. She likes taking pictures. She already evern know where to look when you take her pictures.
8. She’s a very strong girl. She can already lift her head when she was only a week old.
9. She stretches a lot. And it also comes with sounds.
10. She can’t bare it when her diapers are wet even if its not yet fully soaked.
11. I think she is afraid of needles but I hope not.
12. She only cries when she is hungry and uncomfortable.
13. She likes to play a lot.
14. She loves it when I toss her up and do some exercise for babies.
15. She does a lot of facial expression.
16. She enjoys listening to music.
17. She likes the sound on Farmville.

There are still a lot more but I am out of words right now to describe how adorable she is. I really do want the time to slow down because I am still enjoying my little angel.

Anyway, will be celebrating her birth month again tomorrow. I’m thinking of making some French Toast just because I am craving, hehehe. Oh! Will also start getting busy for Sam’s baptismal although I am thinking of having her baptize on April 7 but as early as now I want to start preparing. I don’t want it to be a disaster and I still need to go to dallas hair salons (hrhrhr!) to have my hair and nails done.

I want to take some good photos of Sam but I’m no photographer but practice makes everything perfect, right.

Anyway, I was bloghopping and saw some tutorials on how you are going to process your photos. Thanks to Helga for sharing. It is actually a two-part tutorial, go see it for yourself. Part 1 and Part 2.

Aside from nursing my baby and reading the Twilight saga. I am also usually online on Facebook playing whatever good apps that is worth playing. Speaking of Facebook apps, I am really annoyed as well as irritated with the apps that will go spam the profile of others. Gah! Why do people need to create such apps anyway.

I’ve been updating my icon collection every now and then. I’ve added 4 new icons featuring the Olsen twins just because I keep on seeing them on my tumblr dashboard.

Oh! And I saw this photo on my dashboard.

Like, WTF!!!

Anyway before I bore you with my random and nonsense entry, I just want to ask for help on how to install the ttftiles wordpress plugin.

Anyway, back to the title. I know the title sounds like I am going to blog about some serious matter in here but I am actually not. Although it really is connected to something that is serious enough for you to sit down and think for a moment.

Enough with the suspense. I am just going to share to all of you some few questions that I found on my planner that I wrote down when I was still studying. The question was given to us by our PhilMan^[1] professor and to be honest I actually did had a hard time answering them because I needed to concentrate and really ask myself for the real answer.

Okay, so here are the questions and hopefully you’ll also answer them truthfully as I did way back.

1. Who Am I?
2. What is my purpose in life?
3. Who is the God I trust and believe in?
4. Who are the important people in my life?
5. What are the things that please me?
6. What are my ambitions and plans in life?
7. How will I work to achieve my goals?
8. How can I serve other people?
9. What brings me peace of mind?
10. How I will wish to die?

There is no wrong and correct answer just like what my PhilMan professor said its just a way of assessing yourself, nothing more nothing less.

I am still searching for a new theme or maybe I’ll modify the one that I am currently using. Bah. Whatever. Oh and I am kind of achieving some of the goals I listed on my previous post, yay to me.

1. Philosophy of Man

1. New hair-do. New year, new look. I’m thinking of cutting my hair different from the usual haircut that I have and maybe dye my hair.

2. Go on a diet. Yes! I’m definitely going to keep this one for sure although I still don’t now what kind of diet I’m going to undergo but I’ll figure it our soon.

3. Practice my photography skills. I’m no professional and I don’t use good camera such as DSLRs but I know my good old Pentax digital camera will do good and all I need is practice.

4. Go back to flickr. Just because I want to receive comments that will help me gain more knowledge about photography.

5. Blog more. I guess I don’t need to explain this one.

6. Start thrift shopping. Anyone willing to go ukay-ukay with me? I heard that I can find lots of good stuff at Kamuning and Anonas ukay-ukay, I want to go.

7. Learn something new.

8. SAVE UP. I really need to keep this one.

There you go and these are just some of it. I don’t want to list them all because it’ll frustrate me if I will not be able to achieve half of what I listed.

Oh well, I just want to share to you guys my current desktop wallpaper that I made. I’m still thinking of editing it and adding a few more graphics but I don’t know.

Is it a yay or a nay?

Also, I want to share some of Sam’s 1st month celebration pictures.

More photos posted on my facebook

By the way, I miss going back to work but unfortunately I am still not allowed to work until the doctor says so.

Will post a decent blog entry soon, I promise.

Last December 5, 2009 nagpunta ako sa hospital kasi I was scheduled for a weekly checkup and meron din pinapagawang ultrasound yung OB ko para malaman yung status nong baby. Ayun, nakita nila na kulang na yung fluid sa loob ko kaya sinabihan na nila ako na kailangan ko na i-admit para ma-monitor nila ako ng maayos. I was inside the labor room for a day and they even perform a force labor para lang bumaba na si baby and para bumukas na din yung cervix ko pero too bad hanggang 5 cms lang talaga after a day of observation kaya nag-decide na sila na i-CS ako kasi kung hindi daw baka kung ano pang mangyari sa aming dalawa ni baby. Dahil din sa tagal ng labor ko medyo nakakain na si baby nang pupu niya kaya nagka-pneumonia siya and she was given antibiotics for 7 days. Kawawa nga si baby kasi ilang days pa lang siya meron na nakalagay na IV sa kanya.

Ngayon she’s exactly 3 weeks and 3 days old and super healthy na niya. Wala na siyang problem except na lang sa kanyang sleeping routine na medyo nababago naman na and in fairness to her she’s continuously gaining weight everyday. Totoo nga yung sabi nila na breastfeeding is really good for the babies. Oh! And wala pa siyang 1 month kaya na niyang itaas yung ulo niya. Super strong and super likot niya, nakakatuwa.
