Take a Break
Since there's such a limited timeframe for people to take off work or school, real relaxation seems to be put aside for going on newer and bigger adventures or activities. And while there's nothing wrong with that, sometimes it's good to just take the time off and really focus on letting go of the stress of the year. According to this article on the Manila Bulletin, the Philippines is internationally-renowned for its spas and beauty clinics. Why not take advantage of that and pamper yourself for once?
