12 Ways on How to Enjoy #WalangPasok Days at Home
The announcement of an impending long weekend signals a surge of excitement for all of us who have to wake up early for 5 to 6 days per week. For some who are into getting out and exploring the world, they most likely have already booked a trip somewhere far away from their dreaded workplace. Two days is really never enough time for weekends because there are so many things to do (or not do).
For those who have tight budgets or are just in love with indoors, staying at home is the best and only option. While others think that it will be a drag, some people think that staying indoors on long weekends is the best thing that could ever happen.
We have collected a list of activities that you might find interesting to do while you’re not out and exploring the world.
Here are our top 12 activities you can do at home to enjoy #walangpasok days:
-
Make good coffee
Start your weekend right with a good coffee. Just add hot water to your favorite 3-in-1 mix. For non-coffee lovers, there are always other options like milk, milk tea, juice, or a good cup of hot chocolate.
-
Become your own Master Chef for a day
Since you have more time than usual, we dare you to make up your own dish. Have your friends try it or save it for your back-to-work days so you’ll be reminded of how productive you were and how great of a cook you truly are.
-
Inday mode
You’ve been busy for a long time that when you get home, all you want to do is lay down and catch some sleep. Make the most out of the long weekend by commencing a general cleaning activity and probably rearrange your house. It might surprise you how good it will feel after you’re done. Plus, it’s also a form of exercise. Just remember not to be too nostalgic as this may cause unwanted feelings that might create a new mess and you’ll end up not cleaning the house at all.
-
Replace scents at home
The smell of the house sets the mood for any activity. For long weekends or any other weekend, it is advisable to arrange a relaxing aroma to free your lungs from the pollution that you face every day.
-
Crossfit a la Home
Since you won’t be doing anything else, why not take this time off to get fit and work out those sleeping fats? See our tips on how to get a complete work out at your own home.
-
Get creative
If you are the artsy type, why not make a new project to keep you busy? You can paint, write, draw, make art works, design a shirt, or create a vlog. Because why not? You have time to spare so make it count.
-
Build a fort
This is a fun bonding experience if you have kids, or even if you don’t. If there is not enough materials, you can opt to try indoor camping which requires lesser pillows and blankets.
-
Channel your inner geek
Is there a book you’ve been meaning to finish for so long but don’t have the time and energy to do so? This weekend, pick up that book and get lost for a while. This is also a great way to relieve stress.
-
Binge-watch
Catch up on your favorite TV show or invite your friends over for an epic movie marathon – #hugot films, anyone? To make it more exciting, why not invent a drinking game while you’re at it?
-
Host a house party
Set up a dinner or lunch party with your family or invite your friends over. You can cook for them and serve some wine or cider. For the non-cookers, a delivery service is always available.
-
Chikka minute!
Social media has made life easier in terms of connecting with the ones who are far-off or just dont have time to meet up. Since internet access is limited when you’re at work or in school, you can grab this opportunity to chat with your friends via virtual bonding.
-
SLEEP ALL DAY!
In this list, we’ve been talking about catching up on TV shows and with your friends. However, the most important thing to catch up on is sleep. The best time to refresh your body from all those long nights and early mornings is when there is no work to do.
