During November 1, many people organized costume parties, sometimes even companies. I remember when I was still with my previous company, a contest was usually held for the best decorated department. The price for the winning department was of real worth that was why all departments were really eager to win. Aside from the decoration, the department staff should have prepared their presentation/gimmick which would be presented on the day of judging (usually held on October 31). The day of judging was also declared as the Family Day. The immediate families of all employees were invited to come to the office. The kids were in costumes while visiting all the managers for their treats. There were also some foods prepared for the visiting families.

Just outside the building, there were many other people in costumes, some were wholesome and funny, some were scary and some were daring in their sexy adult costumes. Hmmm… me? I was in hurry to go home, to avoid the bulk of people who would be going home too later that night.

If we have the budget, my hubby will surely want to go the beach. But vacation is not one of our priorities nowadays. For those who need a rest from their toxic work, you still have time to prepare and plan your three-day vacation. It is very seldom that a long-weekend starts on a Friday.

I mentioned on this post that May 1 is usually a holiday if it falls on a weekday. In this year’s case, May 1 is Saturday so I don’t expect to have an extra  day off  for this holiday. But because of the generosity of the government with holidays and the current holiday economic policy, the celebration of Labor Day is moved to May 3, 2010, Monday next week. This means that Monday will be a non-working holiday! Another long weekend coming!!! Hurray for laborers like me!

The pictures were taken without her knowledge. Her shyness to face any kind of camera is getting worst!

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!

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.
