weekend for me!

It's really a good thing that you have your group of friends and Pinoys to spend the weekend and whenever there's a vacation, enelym. And it's nice to know that the Pinoys have their church day too where there is a Tagalog mass, even if it's on a Friday, not Sunday as we are accustomed to. But with Mylot too, you will never get homesick there.

Hi there Miss D! Yes Friday it is! Instead of Sunday. Here, working days are from Saturday to Thursday; while some are from Sunday to Thursday. Saturday's a half day for me and Friday is a whole day of rest. Yes we do, and we see to it that we can enjoy our time here. Life gets boring if we'll just be in the office and home everyday. Definitely homesickness won't be felt, although there were still times we wished we can just ride a jeepney and take us home at least for an hour. Same as what you do where you can just travel for 30 minutes to be with your parents and sisters. Friday here is the church day too for Pinoys where Tagalog mass can be heard. =)

Yup never will... I normally see the big news in Philippines from myLot. Yes even when we are only a small group, it's still good as my friends here are all fun-loving and bubbly too! There's daily English and other language mass here... and it is only during Friday afternoon @12nn we'll hear Tagalog mass officiated by a very humorous Pinoy priest too. Pinoy's here loves his preaching.

Thanks jricky, I do hope we'll enjoy it! Only thing I'm thinking is that... I won't get to sleep good again But anyways, I'll try to get some good sleep and rest on other nights

Thanks SMEETA444 I can see that you're new in myLot. Welcome to myLot! And I wish you enjoy hanging around with us here.

hey enelym enjoy ur weekend and have lots of fun..hve a good sleep n fun weekend ahead

I would love to have family bondings most of the time but I could only do them on weekends. I hope I'll have a permanent job in my hometown so that I could be with them every day already.

Thanks angelkarah When I was back home, my family bonds too not only during weekends, But whenever we likes to Wow a three-day off would be lovely!

Hi there sishy, In here, Friday is the equivalent of Sunday. Some companies have two days-off which is Friday and Saturday. While some only have one day off. And some also gives Thursday as halfday work with Friday off. And some whole Friday off plus halfday on a Saturday – which is what I have in my company. So it all depends on the company here – but those are mostly the days off and Friday can be considered the rest day for everyone except those working on Hotels, Restaurants, Malls. You can also plan a weekend out with your kids anytime, if God allows. I’m sure the kids will love it.

That's interesting... So people do go to work on Sundays there as a normal thing as those who start the work week on Mondays over here and the rest of the world. Enjoy your weekend!

Such kind of weekend I posted doesn't happen to me every weekend. Most of my weekend I spent either going to Church or being in the house only doing house chores.

That sounds nice too. I used to do that too. When there is money to go shopping lol. Otherwise we'd hang out at home only and watch movies, eat a lot or play cards.

I hope so it will be a fun weekend. I actually would like to sleep at home tonight. But no one will be at home as all my roommies will be going there. So I better be with them too than be home alone.

No I don't think so that's boring! I usually stays at home too, read a book, be online all day, play with my doggies - that was when I was back home. But I am here once again in the desert without my family... just friends/roommies and the only thing we can do aside from work is to go out and enjoy life. But if we have nowhere to go, the weekend ends just by going to church, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, cooking... time is so fast actually that we can't do all things that we need to do. Ironing is not on the list modt of the time, it's done during the mornings lol!

Great! You will be with your family the whole day bonding with them. And also, having the time to stock up foods. There are times our weekends are so busy outside, but there were also times we’re just at home doing laundry, cleaning the house and cooking.

I love to sleep to because I always gets less sleep. But not lesser than you get. And I guess sleeping is what you really need to recharge yourself. 'Though I still think you try to go out some times just to break the habit of being busy at your work all the time.

That sounds very refreshing too. Whenever I get lonely or depress, I used to think about going to seashore where there were less people. The peace and serenity of the surrounding where you can only hear the sound of the waves. It can actually give you a peaceful thought and forget about your problems in a while. 'Though you also get the chance of pouring all your thoughts.
