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.
