This coming August 23 as President Aquino keeps August 21, Saturday, to commemorate his father’s death anniversary. It will be sorry for those who had made prior plans for the August 23 long-weekend holiday but advantageous for the business sector and for the daily wage earners. Anyway, we can still hope for one long-weekend holiday coming, and that is on August 30.

My former officemate reminded me that August 23 and August 30, 2010 are both non-working holidays in celebration of Ninoy Aquino Day and Heroes Day respectively. These holidays are included in the Official List of Official Holidays for 2010 based on Proclamation 1841 signed by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo last July 2009. These holidays will take effect unless the new President, PNoy, will proclaim an amendment prior to the holidays’ actual dates. Both holidays fall on Mondays, that means we have two consecutive long-weekends coming this month.

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!
