  3. I'm amazed with the number of holidays the country has, or the President has declared! Might be a great time to spend with family or friends, but I think there's a sense of unproductive(ness) as well. Dito kasi sa US, there's not a lot of holidays that's considered non-working. Many holidays here are still working days for people. :)

  4. These are one of the things I miss about our Philippines the legal holidays. Here in US when you work in a very demanding Private company there is no excuses whatsoever, holidays with pay is very limited too. It sucks, people think oh well at least we get paid in dollar but come to think of it our bills are in dollar too so do the Math!

  8. Foreign companies doesn't want the number of holidays we have plus the fact that pay is double. Since we give quality work, it outweighs the disadvantage. Can't wait for Chinese New Year! ^_^

  12. I use a lot of cleaning compounds at home. I hope of minimizing them, and probably use organic and natural products.

  13. I feel so green with envy!


    When I've worked for the Philippine Government before the big move out here in the Land Down Under, I've always looked forward for public holidays coz even if we do report for work on regular holidays, we are paid! Now that I live and work in Sydney, every holiday is so precious coz it's so scarce!!! I miss it back home!
