Just like last year, we decided to spend our New Year’s Eve on my parents’ place. I started wrapping up my work when the clock ticked 12. Yes, I was still working on that day because of some deadlines which can’t be moved. I started packing up for a night stay in my parents house. We can’t stay longer because I promised my client that I would try my best to be online after the New Year holiday. After packing up, I hurriedly looked for a comfortable clothes for my daughter when she handed me her preferred blouse. Just to save energy, I wore her the blouse and partnered it with a short and let her went outside while I changed my clothes. When I was finally done, my daughter’s fingers were all colored and the brat was even proud to show off her fingers to me. Before we finally locked the door, my daughter asked for her handbag. I was surprised with her look! She looked like a little frustrated sosyalera!
The pictures were taken without her knowledge. Her shyness to face any kind of camera is getting worst!
Yes! You read it right 
Our project group were given two days paid day-off, Thursday and Friday. Our US-based client is so generous to give this rest days with pay. And in case you forgot, Monday is a national holiday. Meaning, I will have a very long weekend. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to have a vacation nowadays. Our budget is so tight. I will be using the day-offs to see an OB for some checkup and also request a schedule for pap smear. I also need to visit the mall to buy my daughter the things that she will be needing on Monday. OH I forgot to mention that my daughter was requested to be part of my churchmate’s wedding entourage as a flower girl. I don’t know yet if I will buy her a new pair of shoes because she might not like it and won’t wear at all! But if ever we have an extra budget, I will bring her to the mall to let her choose the shoes she likes to make sure that the shoes will not just be another display on our shoe rack.
My husband will be throwing-out a dinner to some of his closest Pastors tomorrow night to express his gratitude for their prayers for the result of the LET. Instead of a dinner-out (which is more expensive), he convinced them to have the dinner here at home. As if we can cook well and our house is big! Nyahhaha! Anyways, he decided to serve only the dishes which are very easy to prepare. Among the dishes he listed include kinilaw na tuna with grilled liempo, sinigang na hipon and grilled bangus. One of the pastors requested for fruit salad for dessert. I think the dishes are good enough for four men And I hope they will like the food
That all for now folks! Need to get some sleep! Just finished my tasks for my full-time job. See you!
Sad to know that November 27 and November 28 will no longer be a National Holiday. The said holidays will only be observed in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.
Last month, Malacañang declared that November 27 and November 28 will be a National Holiday in observance of Eid’l Adha, a Muslim festival. But Malacañang changed the scope of the said holiday because of the appeal of the manufacturing sector. Well, I understand them. With so many holidays, their production is directly affected. Malacañang already apologize for the sudden change.

We have two long weekend holidays in the month of November as Malacañang declared non-working holidays next month.
The first one will be from October 31 (Saturday) to November 2(Monday) and the second one will be from November 27(Friday) to November 30(Monday)
