I recorded this video tonight, September 30, 2023. I’m proud to make it to 50 years old. Even though I deal with chronic pain (and insecurity), I’m blessed. *I turned 50 back in May.
I’m Generation X. We’re just built different.

As the only Gen Z surrounding by millennials siblings, I love to teased them about their favourites movies being old, I even called some of them ancient like clueless, and the legend of zoro. I really enjoying watching their soul leave their body whenever I pointed out that most of their favourites movies are around 18 years to 20 years old. So, as a Millennials, I just wanna ask you, am I the devil? 😂😂

Heck, even though it surprises me sometimes how old I've gotten and how quickly time has flown by, it doesn't bother me to realize that I and the things I love from my younger years have gotten old. It's true that I have aged (like every human being is supposed to do), but I am still fantastic (perhaps more so than I was when I was younger and an idiot less wise) and so are those awesome, "ancient" things from 20-25 years ago!
I don't think you're the devil for pointing out an honest truth; tell your siblings they need to calm down and enjoy the fact that they grew up watching amazing stuff!
While we're at it, here are just a FEW OLD 1990s Movies That You Gen-Z Kids Should Totally Check Out If You Haven't Already:
Titanic (yes, with Leo DiCaprio)
Men In Black (the first one)
The Mummy (see what all the fuss over that dude Brendan Fraser is about)
Speed (if you think Keanu Reeves is hot as John Wick, WELL.)
Addams Family Values (psst, all you fans of Wednesday!)
Legends of the Fall (maybe you'll finally "get" Brad Pitt)
Interview with the Vampire (another OG that will never be beat)
...and many, many more!! The 90s were a treasure trove!!!
And remember--be nice to your elders! You'll be in our place soon enough! ;)

Aging itself does not bring wisdom. It often brings regression to childishness, dependency, and bitterness over lost opportunities. Only those who are still intellectually, emotionally, spiritually growing inherit the richness of aging.

Spring 2023- one of the darkest periods of my life. Why didn't anyone warn me of how much of a rollercoaster ride entering your 30s would be?! This was also my last semester in grad school. I did a very expensive and not really worth it (tbh) urban planning degree from Columbia- a university that truly sucks the life out of you. I am describing that feeling here as: imagine yourself living in an ongoing gentrified neighborhood that's OVER policed, a food desert with alot of New York transplants that also happen to be very wealthy and have huge egos. YEAH- that was the start of my 2023.
Broke off my engagement because my ex partner had the audacity to ask me for an open relationship BEFORE our wedding this year?! AND HOOKED UP WITH MY BEST FRIEND IN GRAD SCHOOL literally after a couple of days of us being broken up?! Him and this ex bestfriend were there during the funeral I held for my sister. Sooo, Yeah no...
Ended up starting the year with a broken heart, that's still grieving their sister's death WHILE ALSO writing a thesis so I can graduate my grad program! I honestly cannot emphasize how stacked life felt like during the beginning months of this year. I was in a really REALLY dark place, and its interesting too because these were the moments where I learned SO MUCH about myself and just life and love in general.
Grief has a way of asking you your whys. Why are you living here? Why are you in grad school? Why columbia? What are you doing with your life? Are you even happy? Is that prestige really worth it? What ARE your values and are you living by them? Do you like yourself? What do you truly want? What is life? Like seriously, what is life? Its as if, you had to answer every question all at once or else you just fall in an eternal abyss.
And yet, the journey of grief is SO WORTH IT. The amount of peace you find at the end of that dark dark tunnel is euphoric- A NATURAL HIGH.

Hello dear readers (well whoever you may be!)
My name is Zet, I'm a storyteller that's currently living the 3rd decade of her life in this charming neighborhood called Sunset Park. I LOVE IT HERE! After being surrounded by ivy league kids and out of touch professors I have officially got myself out of the hellhole that is Manhattanville. I'm living in a majority immigrant enclave now, where I can wheel my granny cart to TONS of ethnic grocery stores! I live in this prewar apartment building, where I will need to climb three flights of stairs everyday. Finally living a life where I am completely... alone. I've also become that JOMO (joy of missing out) Tita- I just like smoking with friends at my fire escape, I schedule 10-year plan video-call hangouts with friends that live in other cities. At 30, I am WAAY more reflective, chill and genuinely content with how life feels and looks like right now. <3 It's funny how much can change in just a year. How much CAN HAPPEN within a year. How your life can completely turn a 180, be at your lowest point where you truly let the darkness take over you to a period in your life where you're seeing the magic in life's everyday.
If you would've asked me when I was 16 if I see myself living in this CONCRETE JUNGLE new york city, living alone in a 1 bed apt. , and still pursuing my writing? I would laugh so much and might also tell you to pray for me. Yeah, how can this Palayog girl live a life just like in the romcom movies and tv shows that she grew up watching? It's WIILD! I think I really did underestimate myself back then. You see, I've always felt like I was just existing since I was four. Life has always felt so random and too dramatic that I had convinced myself that I am in just a VERY LONG life simulation. Yet, here I am, existing and thriving, surrounded by so much love and genuine friendships. <3 Still living a full life, working for that true post-colonial world that's driven by community care.

I'm convinced that people who think women shrivel at 25 just have something wrong with them because like, I don't even Experience Attraction and I know that Michelle Yeoh and Vera Farmiga are some of the most gorgeous people on the planet

Happy 8 Ate-Ading anniversary to my one and only ading!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Its a beautiful feeling to be growing beside your chosen sister🩷 this is my sunshine, my OG sunshine ����
Funny how the universe sends us angels to navigate this world with. Ading Justine is my parallel universe. From the same family dynamic to the intergenerational traumas. Yet because i have her, tackling them all becomes one great life adventure. 🧿✨
We cry and we laugh through all this growth

About Paul Gross and aging
So, many comments about Paul Gross being a “silver fox”, “aging well”, being sexy, OMG his arms, etc., and:
“HE’S A MAN SO HE’S ALLOWED TO”.
FFS, why is it that women are not allowed to age well, be sexy, and be silver vixens? NOT ALLOWED BY WHOM??? WTF with this brainwashing?
Aging well, whatever it means to you, takes some effort, and it IS easier - I’m not being blind to the economic realities - while having SOME money. I live in a place with significant community of retirees. There are women who are active physically and mentally, who take care of themselves, and by the looks of it, enjoy life. There are women who are bored and kill the boredom usually with booze, fighting with the neighbours, gossip and stirring the shit around them. Both groups ARE ALLOWED to do what they do. 🤷🏼
BTW I moved my ass from Canada to Ecuador so I could afford housing, food, a haircut every now and then, and a gym fee. Unfortunately I have to do the exercises myself 🥹, I’m told there’s no way around it.
If anyone needs permission to age well, here, you have it from me.
