When June comes in...

Whenever the month of June arrives, I always feel excited about celebrating my birthday. My birthday is on July but I do get enthusiastic as early as June. But now, I don't know. The excitement suddenly turned into pressure. I'm turning 25 this year and I feel pressured about getting older.

When I was in high school and in college, I saw myself as a successful lady at the age of 25. I saw myself travelling and filling my closet with branded clothes and shoes. What happened? Why am I still here? Why am I still the old Xyla who dreams of becoming successful? Nothing changed. Nothing really changed.

In 5 years, I'm going to be 30 years old. And no, I won't let myself stay this way in 5 years. I have to do something. I really have to. Well actually, I know I am doing something. Maybe it's not really my time yet. But... when is really my time? I'm getting impatient!

On the lighter note, as part of growing up (LOL! Why did I just say this now?), I think I am already done with my digital scrapbooked layout phase. I suddenly fancy minimalistic themes for blogs. I have suddenly outgrown some kiddie stuff I fancy. Maybe I am really getting older. And... I just realized... maybe the pressure of getting older is normally part of the young adulthood stage.

Uhh. This entry is non-sense. I just wanted to say I have a new layout after a year.

  1. You're 25 na? Yay! I can't believe it. It thought one year older ka lang sa akin. Hihi.. Anyway, that's ok. What matters is that you dont look your age. Stay young and fresh forever! Advance happy birthday! I wonder what TJ is planning on that day. :)

    I like the new layout. Refreshing to the eyes plus it has this impression na serious which I think is important especially that your blog is about the nursing profession. The pink fonts balanced the atmosphere giving it a playful and young look. And you know what makes it better, wala ng chatter box! Sorry pero ang corny nun. Haha!
