Out of work on my own kind of vacay.

***Hello beautiful people!*** ***I hope you all are doing fine amidst of the shortcomings and uncertainties we may feel day by day. Always remember that a positive life is a happy life. ✨*** When I started working, I haven't tried filing any vacation leave out of work. That was because I always wanted that the 12 leaves allocated for us will be converted to cash at the end of every year. And the amount I can get from such is almost half of the basic pay we have. So for me it's already a big amount of money that can help me a lot. Not until last October 14, I decided to file four vacation leaves. Not because I am going somewhere, but because it feels like I really need to get out of the everyday errands I am doing. I am too suffocated inside the four corners of my room doing the same thing over and over again and it feels like I need to breathe. Since filing of leaves in our company needs to be at least three weeks to one month prior to the chosen date, I filed it last October 14, I wanted my leaves to take effect by November. I chose the dates, November 13, 14, 15, 16. And it was only November 15 and 16 that was approved and according to our manager, there's no leave allocated for the other dates and I agreed. At least I still have two days to rest.

So what will I do for that two approved leaves? I already planned what I wanted to do on that days. And I do not have a plan on staying at home. Maybe the second day, I will definitely sleep since I need to prepare again for the shift the following day. **Get a full body massage.** It was one month ago already since I got my last massage and my body is asking for it again. So after the last shift I'll have before my vacation leave, I will visit a spa on that day and get my full body massage. **Go to cinema.** Since Cebu City lifted the lockdown already and we are now at Alert Level 2 means some establishment are starting to operate again and it includes the cinemas. However, it is only limited to an individual that is fully vaccinated and I am one of those since I already got mine. Pre pandemic, going to cinema is one of my favourite thing to do and hearing the opening of it by November 10 makes me happy and excited. **Go to arcade**. Arcades is one of the establishment that's starting to operate as well in accordance with Alert Level 2. Playing on arcade makes my inner child the happiest. Definitely will make this older version of me as well. **Do window shopping and eat my favourite food**. Window shopping is one of my favourite thing to do as well. And I am planning to buy flat sandal and perfume by then as well. I am not a fan of any shoes and I prefer sandals that's why I need to have at least two pairs at home. This will be considered as a gift for myself. And since food is life, I will never forget to have my favourite food. I always eat whenever I am stressed, happy, sad and all. Any food gives me comfort. So it is a must for me to have it. As you can see, the activities I am planning to do needs to be with someone to fully enjoy it. But not in my case, actually. I prefer doing it alone. Dating myself and doing things alone gives me the ever peaceful feeling. The feeling of not thinking anything but yourself is so satisfying. You can do whatever you want and you will not be bothered by anybody. And that for me is important. We always need to give ourselves some alone time. Vacation supposed to be going on travel and visiting beaches. But since I wanted to do it by myself, this will be my own kind of vacation. By the way, the only feeling I feel right now is **excitement**. ***That's all for today beautiful people. If you have any thoughts about this, feel free to leave it in the comment section below. Let's interact. Stay safe always! Xoxo ✨☺️*** ***- MissJo 💜*** Lead Image Source https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQEVVPjnpdLvRj7OonYwJE-FJVqpjy61pFJ5Q&usqp=CAU
