7 Day Vacation

I am so excited on my 7-Day Vacation, it is from September 17, 2009 to September 23, 2009. I will be out from the office on September 17, 18, 22 and 23. Holiday will be observe on September 21 in the observance of the Eid’l Fitr (Festival of Breaking Fast). And Of course, Saturday and Sunday are included to complete the 7.

The Sept 17, 18, 22 and 23 were filed as an additional Vacation Leave credits from my previous client.

I will be spending my 3 day vacation in going to Cotabato City for my second dose of vaccine scheduled on September 18, 2009. I will be leaving Davao on Sept 17 and be back on 19. Because I am observing the Fast of Ramadhan, vaccine will be given after the time of breaking fast in the evening.

Eid’l Fitr will be tentatively on September 20 or 21, which depends on the sighting of the new crescent moon at the night of September 19. If the moon will be sighted on that night, automatically September 20 will be announced as day of Eid’l Fitr. However, if the moon will not be sighted, the following day, September 21 will be announced as day of Eid’l Fitr.

Nevertheless, either on September 20 or 21 will be announced as day of Eid’l Fitr, I will observe Eid’l Fitr and perform the early morning Eid’l Fitr prayers at the Ecoland Islamic Center with my family and friends.

To avoid confusion, Malacañang declaration (September 21 – National Holiday) is not necessarily the day of Eid’l Fitr and the day for the Eid’l Fitr prayers. The day of Eid’l Fitr Muslim will depend through the sighting of the new crescent moon on the 29th day of Ramadhan (September 19).

Date tracking: I ended with September 20. I still have 3 days remaining for my vacation. I will spend it for my self and to my stuffs at home. I am planning to clean my room and arrange my documents, filed folders and school papers. I will buy plastic envelops to file them accordingly with label. Plastic envelop is a good file container for me instead of using folders and paper envelops that will give unusual smell after a long period of time – a smell of a old/spoiled paper.

This Vacation is a big help to my room, hekhek ^_^ .

I am hoping that all my plans will be finished and done appropriately, InshaALLAH.

I will be back at office on Thursday, September 24, 2009.

Holiday, September 21, 2009

Early in the morning I just heard from the news that Malacañang declared September 21, 2009 (Monday) a National Holiday in the observance of the Eid’l Fitr.

Eid’l Fitr (Festival of Breaking Fast) is a Muslim holiday in celebration of the end of Ramadhan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.

Advance Happy Eid’l Fitr to all Muslim people

In view of the announcement, most of the Filipinos are waiting and excited for the up coming long weekend on September 19-21.
