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.

Not only September 21 was declared a national non-working holiday but also September 7. Pres. Arroyo declared this coming Monday a national of mourning day for INC Executive Minister Eraño Manalo. He will be buried on the said day.
In respect and honor for our former President, Mrs. Corazon Aquino, Malacañang declared August 5 as a special non-working holiday. On this day, the remains of Mrs. Aquino will be buried beside her husband, Ninoy Aquino, at the Manila Memorial Park in Paranaque. Malacañang also declared August 1 to August 10, as the National Mourning week for the late president.
Another non-working holiday is on August 21, in celebration of Ninoy Aquino Day. This holiday is a Friday so we have another long weekend, yippeee!
For Quezon City residents, August 19 is also a holiday in celebration of Quezon City Day!
The last but not the least holiday in August is the last Monday of the month, 31st of August, in celebration of National Heroes Day!
Two long weekends which we can use to rest or spend quality time with our love ones. Start planning now to maximize these long weekends!
Have a great weekend!
