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.

Malacañang declares June 30, Wednesday, as a special non-working holiday. Why? Because June 30 will be the inauguration of President-elect Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III. The inauguration will be held at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park (formerly Luneta) in Manila. This special holiday might be the last holiday declaration from the Arroyo government. Will the next president be fond of special holidays too? We will see.
July 2 will be a non-working holiday for employees who work in Pasig because July 2 is Pasig Day. How I wished that the inauguration of the 15th Philippine President fell on July 1 so I’ll have a two-consecutive day off from work :-p. Well, it is just a wish

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.
