My (medj random) thoughts on entering my 30s
Not sure which flair is more appropriate but nevermind
Dahil magbi-birthday na ako pagpasok ng June in less than 2 weeks, and 30th bday ko na.
Ganito ba feeling pag adult na especially at this stage, the excitement and feeling of looking forward sa bday ay nabawasan? Ung tipong medj feeling normal or ordinary day, but with some things that still define the birthday as something "special" to celebrate. This year natapat ng Monday at may pasok ako, GIP sa provincial government kaya walang leave/request off, so possible advance dinner celebration the Sunday before, then simpleng handa at magluluto ng pancit lola ko sa bahay for dinner pagkasimba ko after work.
Unlike noong bata mas feeling special eh, either may party or kakain at papasyal sa labas with family. Then from teenage years to early adulthood pre-pandemic, either buffet or out-of-town travel kami. After pandemic almost the same, kain sa labas and ikot2 sa mall o kung saan with family, magre-request ng day-off/file paid leave and hopefully approved to be able to celebrate normally.
A bit of mixed feelings knowing na mag-30 na ako. Medj excited pa rin as I look forward to what's to come, as well as whatever I would explore in life. Pero may onting pressure na need nang maging maayos ang buhay, especially in the aspect of being stable financially at sa career, one reason why I'm transitioning to the government field as a GIP from being in the food and beverage field ng hospitality industry for roughly 4 years, knowing na mas stable sa government especially sa benefits. The idea na need makapag-ipon for the future sinks in, whether sa whatever pangangailangan na dumating as well as personal wants - travel, more foodtrip, new phone, gym membership to name a few.
Pagdating sa health, need ko na ring ingatan. Trying to keep even a simple daily exercise routine, kahit 20-30 mins walking/jogging daily pagkagising before work on weekdays then 1 hr walking pag walang pasok. Might need to consider magpa-check-up at least once a year, pero prefer ko na antayin na lang if asked to take medical exam as a work requirement para isang gastos lang. Taking into consideration na nasa lahi ng daddy ko diabetes, and both family sides can be hypertensive, so medj ingat din sa diet - though I cheat sometimes hehehe. Tapos plano ko rin mag-enroll uli sa gym once may sapat na uling ipon, preferably if ma-absorb na sa position na mas mataas sahod kesa GIP.
And ayun, target maging financially stable within my 30s. Para mas ma-enjoy ang life, while making sure may sapat lagi na budget for daily expenses tsaka whatever bayarin na nakaatas sa akin, as well as saving up for the future. Nasa isip na rin na tumatanda na rin magulang ko aside sa matanda na lola ko, need to be financially stable before sila mawala sa mundo - hopefully hindi pa agad mangyari ang inevitable (at some time maaring maganap na from my 30s to 40s hula lang).
Plus need to learn how to be more independent, ung tipong kaya ko na lahat mag-isa - from house responsibilities to bayarin. Although unlikely to relocate at maghanap/bumili ng bagong sariling bahay, since I'm ok na with location outside though near NCR.
Just my random thoughts of how my life would be like pagtuntong ng trentahin era.
Kayo ba, how's life entering 30s?
