10 signs that you're getting older


As I was on my way to the toilet earlier (Yes, you read that right :P), thoughts came flooding my head. Haha! Weird but these thoughts sometimes come out of nowhere!! Jeez.

Anyway, I just realised that in three years time I will be reaching the big three O and this does not excite me in any way. Haha! The past few months have been crazy and thank you God for everything.   I may not seem to have grown much in the aspect of my height, but somehow some parts of me have changed. Let me see if you and I have the same experiences as you grow and become closer to adulthood. Haha! So much adult-ing to do so little time!!!




YOU PREFER COFFEE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.
I don't know about you but coffee+good view+good food=heaven on earth. Haha!

YOUR WARDROBE IS STARTING TO GO FROM FLORALS TO BASICS.
Don't get me wrong. I still love anything with flowers on it but lately, I've been admiring plain coloured tops. Maybe because people from this country don't care much about what you wear and won't judge you if you wear something crazy AF or plain AF. (This is why I love this country. Haha!)

YOU CAN GO FOR A MONTH WITHOUT FACEBOOK, SNAPCHAT AND INSTAGRAM.
Yes people. You can do it. I did it and it was (a bit boring. Haha) but fulfilling in a way. Social media cleanse gurl! :P You'll learn to appreciate nature more. :)




YOU'RE STARTING TO WEAR SUNSCREEN.
Back home, I would only put on sunscreen when I'm on the beach (maybe because it's too hot to put sunscreen on my face everyday. hihi) but for the past year, I've been applying sunscreen before dabbing powder on my skin so congratulate me for finally being able to work on a regimen for my skin! #signsofaging #girlthang

STRESS IS SO REAL.
Not that I haven't been stressed before but dang, this "stress" thing can sometimes be annoying to deal with! But oh well, it's part of growing uh... up? :P

YOU BRING OUT THE CHEF IN YOU.
You're getting more creative in the kitchen and there are times that you have to make do with what you have since you couldn't be bothered to go outside and buy food! :P Thank God for friends who would sometimes bring me food or ask me out for lunch or dinner! :)
I will forever remember you and keep you guys in my heart. Haha! :P





YOU CAN'T FINISH ONE ROMANTIC NOVEL.
I love books but lately I can't finish even one :( I would end up sleeping after a few pages or I would shut it down since the love affair would seem so unrealistic. Haha! That's what you get for being so exposed to real life that you're starting to lose your faith in what they call "fantasy". :(


FREE STUFF IS GOOD STUFF.
I think this doesn't apply only to people that are getting older but for everyone in the planet! But in relation to this blog post, I would say that as you grow older and money is becoming harder to earn, free stuff like flowers being given to you in the streets and anything that involves a "free taste" sign on it is already considered a treat! Hihi :) #mababawnakaligayahan #aminin 

YOU'RE BECOMING MORE APPRECIATIVE, MORE FORGIVING AND SURPRISINGLY, MORE OF A PEOPLE PERSON.
I need to work on the "more forgiving" part for this one person and my mom knows who she is but we'll get there mothaaaa. Haha! :P As you grow older, I'd reckon that you now prefer less drama that's why you'd rather smile and forget about stuff than dwell on it. Remember, every wrinkle is.. (can't think of a rhyme. Haha!)




YOU'RE STARTING TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT... or not.
That quarter life crisis is slowly fading away and now you're more certain on what you what in terms of your career and life in general (of course that includes your partner of choice blabla)
But if you're reading this and you're still not there and you think that the quarter life crisis is taking longer than expected, don't ya worry cuz as the day goes by, you'd get to a point wherein you will just know, you know? Haha! :P

So there ya go! That'll be all for now! I have more to add next time. :)




XOXO,
