April 2014 DECLARED Holidays, Holy Week!

Holy Week is next month.

It can easily be one of our favorite parts of the year due to the long non-working holiday break.

Most importantly, we all remember what Jesus has done for us on the Cross…

While we were sinners, he loved us and died for us.

And that LOVE continues to bridge us to Our Father in Heaven.

February 25, 2014 is EDSA Revolution School (only) Holiday

I think it’s only moms, mostly full-time moms or maybe full-time dads, who will sort of have a non-working holiday on February 25.  It’s a special holiday but only for schools.  Students rejoice since you don’t have to wake up early on that specific Tuesday.

February 25, Tuesday

EDSA Revolution Anniversary

Holiday for Schools

Since it is towards the end of February, don’t forget that it’s also the Malasimbo month!  Malasimbo Music and Art Festival happening in Puerto Galera from Feb 27 to March 2, 2014.

January 31, 2014 is a Philippine Special Non-Working Holiday

Yahoooooo!  There’s reason to celebrate and I can’t be any happier that the day before my birthday is a holiday!

January 31, 2014

Chinese New Year

Friday, Special Non-Working Holiday

So, where are you off to that long weekend? 🙂

Stumbled on this birthday video that my friends made (almost 6 years ago?) in my archive and got a tad bit sentimental, despite the ugly photos of me they chose.  It’s so nice to see again what they had to say that time.  It’s a good encouragement for me to start this year!  I am extremely blessed to have good people and good life-long friends in my life.

Declared 2014 Philippine Holidays, Regular and Special Non-Working

We all just got off a pretty long Christmas holiday break last December but it’s never enough is it?  I love it when Christmas falls on either Wednesday or Thursday.  It naturally calculates into stretching the holiday break since December 24 and/or December 26 work gets called off too since Christmas is midweek.

 

We are back to the daily grind today but couldn’t help think of the next holiday break.  Are we in the same strand of thought?  I’m so itching to travel!  I know the Lord will bless me with a travel buddy this year!  <3  I’ve listed below all the declared 2014 holidays in the Philippines for us to anticipate and mark in our calendars.
