May 17, 2007 – Santa Rosa

by

1

Start: May 18, ’07 4:00p

We were supposed to have some shopping done with Jane and Fat (Gerry’s wife is Fatima) back at Tracy but I was in Sta. Rosa with Kaiyen. We pored over our high school yearbook and spent some time chatting in the morning, went out for a Vietnamese brunch.
Proceeded to Armstrong Redwoods then the Charles M. Schultz museum (Snoopy baby!). Took more pictures on the way back to Sanfo from the other side of the bridge.
Poor Roehl had to wait for me at the BART station…and I ended up the day with losing my credit card wallet. Chalk it up to either lack of sleep, exhaustion or old age 😦

My bad…pulled out the card case which contained the phone card to call Roehl only to find out 45 minutes na sya pala sa station…waaah….kawawang Kuya Roehl..ayun, if he accepted my offer na kumain kami for dinner, ma notice ko sana nahulog or nawala yung cards ko…(hehehe..kasalanan pa ni Roehl ngayon)..

Well, c’est la vie! Things could have been worse…

Filipinos can now start planning their vacations for 2013 after Malacañang announced Saturday the list of holidays and special nonworking days for 2013, to guide employers and the public.

The list is based on Proclamation 459, signed by President Benigno Aquino III last August 16.

In the proclamation, the regular holidays include:

Feb. 25, the EDSA Revolution anniversary, is a special holiday for all schools, the proclamation said.

In his proclamation, Aquino said the proclamations declaring national holidays for the observance of Eid’l Fitr and Eidul Adha shall be issued after the approximate dates of the Islamic holidays have been determined in accordance with the Islamic calendar (Hijra), or the lunar calendar, or upon Islamic astronomical calculations.

“To this end, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) shall inform the Office of the President on which day the holiday shall fall,” he said.

Also, Aquino said the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) shall promulgate the implementing guidelines for this Proclamation. — LBG, GMA News
