			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a few more days and it is going to be a new year. I can&#8217;t believe that the year 2008 will be over. Hubby and I were talking earlier about our goals for next year. But I haven&#8217;t thought of anything yet. As of now, I&#8217;m thankful for all the blessings that we received this year. It was indeed a fruitful year for us. Especially now that we have our second baby girl. Hubby has started with his hobby again playing the guitar. Me on the other hand had several assignments this year that I&#8217;m quite happy. One is the research on <a href="http://sites.andysautosport.com/s/coilovers">coilovers</a> that made me learn about sports a lot. I did a few shopping this year too that I will always remember. The little girl has made us laugh and amused this year too.</p>
<p>It is going to be busy in the next few days so I&#8217;m greeting you all now. I know we heard a lot of stories that next year will going to be challenging but hey, God will provide as always right? Well, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m thinking now.</p>
<p>So, we as a family will embrace the next year and look forward to more blessings that will come our way. I hope you do the same too.</p>
<p>Have a fruitful new year everyone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This day was spent with my Mom and the rest of the family. We had lunch and then here I am trying to update my blogs after such a long time! The baby girl is sleeping while the little girl who slept at already 2 in the morning is trying to sleep as well. Hubby is just watching TV. After I update my blogs will try to find some <a href="http://www.aaa-safetyfirst.com/">self defense products</a> for my cousin in the province. </p>
<p>We will have dinner afterwards at my place with my Dad. Crabs, Shrimps and seafoods will be served. Yum! I can&#8217;t wait for that.  I love the gifts that I got last night from the in-laws! Special mention is the complete set of twilight books in hardbound. I know, it was one of the best gifts I have ever received! </p>
<p>The little girl and baby girl also received lovely gifts too. Thank you very much everyone!</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m off to get more food for the Hubby who is already hungry (again!). </p>
<p>Till my next update! (*wink*)</p>
<p>Have a Merry Christmas everyone!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We did a few last minute errands this day. Hubby went to conti&#8217;s to pickup the roastbeef and then went straight to Mandarin hotel to pickup the cheesecake that I ordered. He then went to the mall afterwards. He was supposed to get some <a href="http://www.faucet.com/decor/search.pl?N=103+214+55+3000169">shower faucets</a> for the house but since the mall was closing already, he decided to put it off for next year. He was able to get some back issues magazines though that I asked him to buy.</p>
<p>We heard mass at around 7 in the evening. We were with the little girl. And then had dinner at 8. We then wrap a few more gifts for the Christmas eve. We were so tired the whole time but we just thought that it is going to be over soon. </p>
<p>Hubby and I tried to sleep a few hours after wrapping some gifts and then woke up at exactly 12 midnight.</p>
<p>Noche buena was fun. We had <em>kakanin</em>, hot chocolate, cheesecake, barbeque, and salad. It was a sumptious feast! Afterwards, it was time to open our gifts! More stories and photos soon&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a big day for me! I finally purchased the &#8220;bag of my dreams&#8221;! Because of Hubby. He has convinced me to buy it after so many months of thinking about it. <img src='http://michmagbag.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> But will post more about it soon.</p>
<p>While we were in the mall, we also checked out some <a href="http://www.footwearetc.com/UGG-Boots/">UGG boots</a> for my Dad as a Christmas gift. It wasn&#8217;t easy looking for it since we were with the little girl. Even if she was sleeping the whole time we were shopping, Hubby had a hard time carrying her. Now, Hubby is having a backache. <img src='http://michmagbag.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>After the shopping spree, we went home and experienced the Christmas rush. Good thing we already shopped a few months ago for our Christmas gifts.</p>

<p>We packed our things and headed to the in laws. Since Alex&#8217;s yaya left for a vacation, we decided to stay with the in laws for the holidays. We packed our things for almost the whole day! Whew! But I&#8217;m glad I was able to do a little bit of reading about <a href="http://www.insurancebureau.com/">car insurance</a> and did a few banking transactions online. It was a stressful day but at least we will be able to rest at the in laws for the rest of the holidays.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a special day for our Baby Andie. It was her baptism day. Although we were so tired from sleepless nights, we were still energized as if drinking something like a <a href="http://superchargerpros.com/">supercharger</a>. Andie&#8217;s baptism started at 10 in the morning at Christ the King lower chapel and then lunch immediately followed at North Park in San Juan. Families and close friends came. It was such a wonderful day!</p>
<p>It was just pretty simple but the most important thing is that our baby girl is now a Christian. More stories and photos soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since I haven&#8217;t been able to blog about our days before Christmas, will just try to document it here in several posts. I just hope I remember everything since as of now it was a blur.</p>
<p>7 Days Before Christmas</p>
<p>I planned to have a haircut with Chiyo but up to this day I was still feeling sick. I got sick a couple of days ago. I had high fever and severe headache. So I had to cancel my appointment with him. I even planned on shopping for a <a href="http://www.stargatecinema.com/">theater seating</a> but it was also cancelled.</p>
<p>Hubby on the other hand, went to his office Christmas party after lunch. He had a blast and he even won a p1,500 worth of gift certificate. <img src='http://michmagbag.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>As usual we still had sleepless nights but things are getting better.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have always been a fan of technology. I would always want myself to keep updated on what&#8217;s the latest in this field. After all, I have been in the IT industry for years now. </p>
<p>But now that I just at home and not in the corporate world, I have to make an effort to do research on my own. But for me it is not enough so I&#8217;m thinking of going back to school. The thing is, I have two kids to attend to now and being in the school physically is not yet an option. So I&#8217;m thinking of getting an <a href="http://www.capella.edu/">online university degree</a> just to keep myself updated. Capella University offers master’s or doctoral degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, psychology, public health, and public safety. Now, I need to think which course to take.</p>

<p>Cute huh? Although they only have a medium size which would fit from 2 mos to 7 mos. But I&#8217;m still getting it. I&#8217;m sure time would fly so fast we wouldn&#8217;t know that two months would pass by quickly.</p>
<p>For now will have to stay home with the baby girl, feed her every two to three hours and savor the moment while she is still a newborn. Work and writing articles about <a href="http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/">Mesothelioma lawyer</a> will have to wait.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Andie turned a week old, we decided to give her breastmilk through bottle so Hubby can help me feed her. At first we bought the First Year&#8217;s breast flow bottles recommended by our good friend. After a week of using the bottles, we realized that she has been colicky ever since.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://michmagbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/breastflow.jpg" alt="breastflow.jpg" width="154" height="154" /></p>
<p>We tried to do some research about breast flows and found out that this is not suitable for colicky babies. So we tried another set of bottles which is Dr. Brown&#8217;s Natural Flow.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="http://michmagbag.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/bottle_products_bottle4.jpg" alt="bottle_products_bottle4.jpg" /></p>
<p>And we are happy ever since we shifted. She still cries every now and then (most of the time actually when she is awake), but allowing her to burp is easier now.  I don&#8217;t know if this is because of the bottles but for now, we are not using the breast flow yet.</p>
<p>It just goes to show how much researching about a product before buying it is really important. If only I did that before buying the breast flow, I couldn&#8217;t have bought it. But anyway, lesson learned. I promise myself to look it up to the internet first before buying it.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m off to do a little bit of reading for about <a href="http://www.cerebral-palsy-injury.com/">cerebral palsy lawyers</a> for a relative of ours.</p>
