Year 2009 Long Holidays
Pack your traveling bags, prepare your passports, and book your plane tickets ahead of time. Year 2008 may be gone but the long holidays are still here. Thanks to GMA and her holiday economics, friends and families can spend more time with each other.
Below are the dates that were officially declared as non-working holidays together with my plans on how I wish to spend it.
April 6 – Araw ng Kagitingan
(April 4-6 long holiday)
PLAN: Since this is summer time, a trip in the neighboring islands of Bohol, Cebu, or Siquijor is a good idea.
April 9-12 – (Easter Holidays)
PLAN: Since I don’t observe Easter, a trip to Boracay with some friends is a good idea. Anybody who wants to come with me is free to contact me.
May 1 – (Labor Day)
(May 1-3 long holiday)
PLAN: A day after pay day is always a good day to spend money on food. Food trip!
June 12 – Independence Day
(June 12-14 long holiday)
PLAN: A week after the classes will start. Not a good weekend to be far away. Perhaps three days to read a good book is not a bad idea.
August 31 – National Heroes Day
(August 29-31 long holiday)
PLAN: Another day after pay day. A trip to Kawasan Falls in Cebu is a good idea. I’ve never been there even if it’s just a bus ride away. Hopefully, a bonus from Silliman.
November 30 – Bonifacio Day
(November 28-30 long holiday)
PLAN: Another day right after pay day. This time, money should be on a tight leash. Save it for the holidays on December.
December 25 – 31 – Holiday Season
PLAN: Hopefully, no work between these dates just like what we had last year. This season, my friends, is dedicated to my family. I can only go home once a year so I might as well enjoy it with those people who are very close to my heart.
Note: Plans are subject to change.
