April 2014 DECLARED Holidays, Holy Week!

March 6, 2014 by Janey

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

February 7, 2014 by Janey

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.

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

January 2, 2014 by Janey

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.

June 19, 2013 is a Philippine Holiday?

June 17, 2013 by Janey

UPDATE as of June 18: Malacanang has issued Proclamation 600 declaring June 19, 2013 as a Special (Non-Working) Holiday in the Province of Laguna to commemorate 152^nd Birth Anniversary of Jose Rizal. In this regard, employees who are assigned to work on this day will be given premium pay in accordance with their company’s existing policies.

It’s a holiday in Laguna tomorrow!!!!! WOOOT.

——-

The Palace declared last year that June 19, 2012 is a Philippine special non-working holiday in the city of Calamba and regional province of Laguna to commemorate the birthday of our national hero, Jose P. Rizal.

I wonder if Malacanang will declare the same this year for Dr. Jose P. Rizal’s 152^nd birthday on Wednesday, June 19, 2013.

November 2012 Philippine Holidays, 3 Non-working Holidays for the Philippines

September 18, 2012 by Janey

November 1, Thursday – All Saints Day

November 2, Friday – Additional special (non-working) day

November 30, Friday – Bonifacio Day

–

Yay, more time to rest and enjoy life for you!

Of course, after you visit the loved ones.

But not for me though as I will be flying to Hong Kong for work the week of November 1.

*collective groan*

No worries, I’ll be filing exchange day offs for those dates.

I guess I’ll have quiet time with Papa the weekend before or after.

Declared 2013 Philippine Official Holidays

September 17, 2012 by Janey

Did you guys enjoy the long holiday weekends this year? Are you wondering how many long weekends there are for 2013? We got the answer so you can start planning for your personal vacations and weekend escapes. Malacanang already issued recently the list of holidays for 2013 so there’s no more guessing game.

Compared to year 2012 where we are enjoying many long weekends, likely to be at least 7, the Palace confirmed that under Proclamation 459, the Philippines will only get few long weekends in 2013 which will include special holiday February 25 (Monday) in commemoration of EDSA Revolution, regular holiday December 30 (Monday) weekend for Rizal Day, and the regular holiday in observance of the Holy Week. This includes Maundy Thursday which falls on March 28, 2013, and Good Friday, on March 29, 2013.

Chinese New Year declared a holiday this year last January 23 is no longer a holiday next year. Palace, however, declared December 24, 2013 (Tuesday) as a holiday “in order to foster closer family ties and enable our countrymen to observe Christmas more meaningfully.”

UPDATED and OFFICIAL August 2012 Holidays

After a lot of scuffle whether August 20, 2012, Monday is a holiday or not (previous post), the list of holidays for August has been announced. And yes, August 20 is included in celebration of the “Feast of Ramadan.” Some people say Aug. 19 is the end of Ramadan while others say August 20 is the “feast.” It’s NOW officially announced as a regular holiday. FOUR (4) day weekend is NOW CONFIRMED! Plus 2 more holidays.

The Appren-tease in Jesse James Blindsided Sandra Bullock

I really liked Apprentice Celebrity Season 1 a lot and loved the clever Piers Morgan and his biting (but objective) tongue in it. I caught several reruns of Apprentice Celebrity Season 2 and was intrigued by it despite not having as many strategic players as the first one. Jesse James, 40, had a cool stance during the whole season and maintained his stand on not using his wife’s connections to get more money for their team projects.

Sandra Bullock, 45, was freshly minted with the coveted Oscar best actress awards several weeks back. Nowadays, she’s back in the limelight but not for her acting chops in Blind Side, but because of Jesse James’ infidelity. Not only with one woman –but with FOUR others.

The news broke when Michelle McGee told In Touch, she and James had unprotected sex once a week during their 11-month romance. Soon after, more women came out dishing about their affairs with James.

Sandra Bullock broke her silence to People Magazine and denied reports that there’s a sex tape with her and husband Jesse in it. “There is no sex tape. There never has been one and there never will be one.” Other than that statement, Bullock has remained quiet about her current relationship status with James. Many speculate that she will file for a divorce.

Meanwhile, Jesse James also denied Internet rumors of a sex tape. He said in a statement, “There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It’s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way. This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.”

His lawyer reports that James is struggling to get back into Sandra’s good graces. “When all is said and done, he wants the same people who were living in his house before all this happened to still be living there,” his attorney, Joe Yanny, said in a statement Monday. “And he wants to save his marriage with the woman he loves more than anything in his life.”

Ricky Martin is Gay

After so many years of keeping his personal life private, Latin pop star Ricky Martin admits in his book that he is gay. In his official Website, Martin says that writing his memoir and his twins are what made him go public about his homosexuality.

“I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.” I think not a lot of people were surprised but it’s still a brave thing to come out in the open.

So Mr. PJ, when are you writing your book? 🙂
