2011 Holidays

One thing I loved about the Arroyo Administration was the Holiday Economics implemented. Holidays were intentionally celebrated on either a Friday or Monday which benefited most working people since they could plan very well their out of town trips.

New administration. The PNoy Administration. Malacanang already declared the regular holidays, special non-working days, and a special school holiday for 2011 through Proclamation No. 84.

  • January 1 (Sat) - New Year's Day (three-day long weekend from December 31 to January 2)
  • February 25 (Fri) - EDSA Revolution Anniversary (holiday and three-day long weekend for schools only)
  • April 9 (Sat) - Araw ng Kagitingan
  • April 21 (Thu) - Holy Thursday
  • April 22 (Fri) - Good Friday (four-day long weekend from April 21 to 24)
  • May 1 (Sun) - Labor Day
  • June 12 (Sun) - Independence Day
  • June 19 (Sun) - 150th Birth Anniversary of Jose Rizal (proposed legislation to declare a working holiday)
  • August 21 (Sun) - Ninoy Aquino Day
  • August 29 (Mon) - National Heroes Day (three-day long weekend from August 27 to 29)
  • August 31 (Wed) - Eid't Fitr (calculated date for 2011 pending proclamation)
  • November 1 (Tue) - All Saints Day
  • November 6 (Sun) - Eid'l Adha (calculated date for 2011 pending proclamation)
  • November 30 (Wed) - Bonifacio Day
  • December 25 (Sun) - Christmas Day
  • December 30 (Fri) - Rizal Day
  • December 31 (Sat) - Last Day of the Year (three-day long weekend from December 30 to January 1

Sad truth, most holidays were on a Saturday or Sunday. So long weekends are cut short as compared to the Arroyo Administration. Technically we only have three long weekends-- holy week, National Heroes day (Aug 29) and Rizal Day (Dec 30).

Better plan your out of town trips wisely OR use your leaves wisely!!!

Letting Go

Reading Thought Catalog can bring you a myriad mix of emotions, heartbreaking, sad, contented, relieved, happy, fortunate and a whole lot more. This particular article highlighted important points as if slapping me in the face to wake up! When someone decides you’re not the one for them, don’t argue with them. When someone decides you’re not the one for them, do not, I repeat, do not question yourself.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, love yourself enough to let them go.   When someone decides you’re not the one for them, take your time to find yourself again, a self that isn’t confined within anyone’s definition of “the one,” a self that’s true, a self that’s happy.   Remember your life before them. Remember all the moments you felt so happy, so confident, so strong and it had nothing to do with them or being chosen by them at all. Everything mentioned in the article pierced my heart, and allowed me to come back into my senses...

October 31, 2017 12monkeys, El Pueblo It was a night of good music, food, drinks, and of course good company! Forever idol Ebe. Naalala mo pa ba sa Baler nakajamming ka namin sa Bays Inn? Ung pinipilit ka ng isang lokal na magtopless ka kasi nasa dagat daw! ! Anyways solid na tugtugan talaga ito. Sa uulitin sa dagat naman na ulit. Ok so tumugtog din si Gabby ng Urbandub at sobrang ok rin niya talaga. At gusto kong sabihing let us support local artists! Dahil ang daming talentong meron ang mga Pilipino.
