August 2015 Philippine Holidays and August 19, 2015 Quezon City Day Non-working Holiday

July 29, 2015 by Janey

Other than December or the Christmas season and the Holy Week break, August is one of the most anticipated months of the year because it has the most number of non-working holidays in a month. In a few days, August begins and I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. We do say that every year eh? We just tend to get busier and busier. That’s why it’s so important to slow down and quiet down the spirit. The perfect time to do that is during the holidays that come our way. I love maximizing the no-work days, to forget about earning a living and just get right down to “living.”

Since August 20 will be sandwiched between August 19 and August 21 holidays, most of us who work in Quezon City (yea, I’m now a QC baby. I miss the Ortigas CBD!) have filed a leave already for Thursday so we can have a full 5-day long weekend. Finally, a reverse! 2 days to work and 5 days to just breathe and LIVE and LOVE the life you have made for yourself. It’s also TIME to PAUSE and really dedicate prayer time to thank God for His protective and encouraging love that covers us each day.

Now, where are you guys spending your 3-day or 5-day long weekend?

I’m only drafting my plans by end of this week. I want to travel and escape!!! But with all the mid-year business review and budget reforecast, I don’t know if I’ll have time to plan. I guess the wanderlust spirit will find a way.

If you’ve got plans already, bring me with you yea?

LIVE a very blessed, kind and happy life kiddos!

Cheers!
