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!!!

5am in the morning we arrive at SM Mall of Asia (MOA) parking lot. I was with Phoebe, James, Jedd and Jay, who drove us. There were already a lot of participants roaming. I got off the car and started securing my toe nails with band aid! Ayokong matanggalan ulit ng kuko. Dalawaang beses na kong natanggalan. By 5.15am we were with the rest of the UP MBS runners. Yeahay! It's my first ever 10k run. 5.30am the event began. RUN! The MBS pack run All of us running together. I couldn't have finished 10k without the MBS support. I really can't believe I made it! I'm so proud of myself. An hour and 15 minutes of running. Whew! Now we have a time to break weee. My legs and feet are still aching! But the whole experience was worth the pain. Here's to more runs and a healthy lifestyle! More Photos

Short Lived 2 of 2

I learned and discovered things about myself and about relationships that I wouldn't have known without having gone into that short lived relationship. Lower the tone of my voice. He's the first person who told me that I talk as if I'm angry or picking a fight. And then I got it validated by a colleague who told me to hear myself when I speak weeks later. I'm very cautious now. I believe I have the sweetest voice already! Be vocal of how I feel . There's nothing wrong with showing your vulnerable side to your partner. Trust that your partner wont judge you or belittle you .  Be open and honest with everything. No secrets. Your partner has the right to now after all he's the one who should be able to listen to you and help you. Getting into relationship means hard work . It's not always fun times. Be ready to battle with different situations. Not everything is about YOU. Don't be self centered. I learned I have insecurities I need to fix. I nee

3 1K LOSS

 Today I lost 1K USD. It's the initial amount I invested on XTB. I'm now left with 223 USD, which is the total profit I gained since the day I started trading for real (Sept __, 2023).  Here's what happened. I mistakenly opened a wrong position. I checked long frames and they seem to be down trend. I put a trend line on h1 frame and it's also going down with 3 candles going up. I figured those were negligible and will eventually go down. I went on to check m1 frame and as soon as it went down trend, I clicked red for sell. And less than few minutes, trend went up. Increasing my loss too. I couldn't look anymore so I logged out.  My strategy was to let it open overnight, thinking it will eventually go down to the set TP. Hours later, XTB automatically closed my position at -1023 loss. I couldn't believe it. 3 weeks worth of trading with consistent gains, now all gone in just few hours and one single mistake.  Ok I understand now that it will take forever to get b
