Yesterday was a holiday in our country and a long week end to spend. My mom scheduled a trip to our farm to visit some relatives and talk about some farm stuff. Me and my brother had a great time harvesting fruits together with our cousins and some workers. We usually do this during holidays or long week ends. HOw about you guys? how do you usually spend your week ends or holidays? do you look forward on a week end or holidays? do you plan things? love to here your stories. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi, nice to meet you here. Last time if weekend or holidays i will go hang out with friends. But after i went into uni i really cant find any free time to hang out anymore. I spend most of my weekend time to do my assignment and study. It is really a lot of assignment in our uni. I am really stress of it. Wat i am looking forward is the day i finish my uni study. Happy Mylotting!!!

Uni? University? When the time comes and you finished schooling it is much harder for you to adjust a new life style. After graduation it is not the end of a stressful life but it is the beginning of new challenges. Sometimes, you'll will to go go back to school because it is much easier.

i love cleaning my house and decorating it so i start up with the cleanings. Also i usually like always sit on the internet and surf, mylotting is also a daily doze. i never wait for my weekends, it comes on the way. i never make plans for the weekend rather plans are atomatically made by itself.

unplanned gives us extra pleasure as planned ones seems to be a kind of routine which we many times deny to do.

I ususally spend my weekends with family. It is the only time I can dedidcate totally to my family and friends. I sleep in on all weekends and cook a big lunch. I go out during evening time for a walk and have coffee from his favorite coffee shop nearby because he is a coffee lover. We also have dinner from out on most of the weekends.

All the responses I've read most common are spending time with their family's. It's so nice to hear that people still value the importance of the family. well, we do love to sleep especially on a weekends, no need to worry to wake up early and do some important stuff. Wait, I don't get it... "His"? are you referring to your brother or a close friend?

Reading books are fun but going to the library for me is boring. When I'm still studding I only go to the library to take a nap. Two days are not enough to visit people whom you really missed. So, are you going back to visit them again on National Day? You have one happy week to spend and relax with them.

I spend a lot of time listening to music and going online at weekends, I also like to watch and play sports like Football (Soccer) and Basketball.

A simple way of relaxing. When i was a student I usually do that because it is the only way I can release all the stress and pamper my self. So, you're into contact sports. Thanks for the share, lakefanster. ciao!

we are in the same country and yey, it was a holiday yesterday! and u know what, it will also be a local holiday for us tomorrow, yey, again! holidays always keep us together in the house. we go out to the malls sometimes and shop together for groceries and things needed for the house. yesterday, we were able to decongest our clothes cabinet, place old and tight-fitting clothing into boxes for relatives in the province. i was happy i was successful yesterday in fighting this long bout of "postponing" doing things, lol.

a very long weekend to spend huh? that's fun! going to the mall with family? it's a nice little way of spending time with them and after all the shopping and groceries, eating at the family's all time favourite restaurant? Filipinos usually do that. If kids are with you, you have no choice but to eat at their favourite food chain, "McDonalds". thanks for the share!

Normally, during holidays, I try to finish all the requirements for my MA class which is scheduled every saturday. :( really don't have time to go out of town. However, during semestral break or christmas vacation, my husband and I tries to find time to have a get-away from our busy life. From time to time, I join my hubby on his mountain trip which usually falls during long weekends as long as the schedule won't fall on my class. =)

I can see the happiness in you're face, looks like you had a great time with your family. Nature is the best way to escape a stressful life in the city. island hopping? cool! love it, its fun. Fresh fruits are much tastier and you know it is free from chemicals. Thanks for the response, Alexa. Ciao!

Do the farm work is a happy and tired thing.Espicially in the harvest time,the farm stuff will very busy and glad. Several years ago when I was a children,follow the grandfather and go the farm to have a harvest.Though very hot under the daylight,but when we see the fruit which we get made us glad and unforgetable.

Actually since I don't have a job..Every is holiday for me..And its boring..lolz.. ... We also have a farm..but its not maintained anymore..Because of government agrarian reform program..We have almost 500 hectares before.but now we don't know how many left. Since our great grandfather was been killed in world war II with all the male members of the family only the women survive. The women member the family has been put to hiding and escape as all males fight the japanese. When the war ended only the people who is loyal still to our family give percentage harvest. Other just simply take our land..As no woman member of the family know exactly were are the boundary of our land. Only now that we tried to find the title of our land. Problem is that we can't claim it cause the government already claimed it as per agrarian reform only maximum land that you can out is seven hectares. We want to make it a corporation but the problem is that we cant force evict the people who lived their.. That the sad story ...we pay the tax but we earn nothing..and we cant evict those people.

well, it depends on the season most of the time. I like going out for a trip, maybe going to seaside. That's one of the best thing to do really, however if you're in winter,there isn't lots of things to do and you will have to stay indoors when you're out in winter, for this reason I usually go to malls for entertainment or shopping, but it is not my favourite thing really. and I hate winter unless it is snowing outside :D

Usually, I choose to stay in my house and watch some movies. Then a day passes. I think I should take a good rest at weekends, because I am tired at workdays, so I won't take too many activities. What I want is just rest.

Hi there. You have ask a question that I have a variety of answers. I usually go to church during weekend and go to mall. I visit my Aunts and Uncle in the province and then I go to my favorite place the park. I really have many things to do during weekend and these are my favorite things to do.. That is all I can share because some of the details I do on week ends are very confidential, In an appropriate manner if you know what I mean.
