Why You Should Be Excited, Not Worried, in Your 30s

 


Getting in your 30s is often seen as the age when things start to slow down, when fun and spontaneity fade, and routine takes over. But what if it’s actually the start of something more exciting?


Your 30s bring a unique mix of freedom, adventure, and vitality. It’s a decade where you can do more with the right mindset and proper nourishment from healthy food and drink like Birch Tree Adult Boost, which helps you stay strong, sharp, and full of life. Birch Tree Adult Boost shares some of the reasons to be excited about your 30s and how you can make the most of them.


Opportunities to explore the world with strength and energy



Birch Tree Adult Boost brand ambassador Bea Alonzo embraces new adventures with strength and energy.


You’ve learned from your 20s and built the confidence to try new things. Whether it’s traveling, pursuing passions, or meeting new people, your 30s are your chance to live fully, and it’s easier when your body feels its best. Birch Tree Adult Boost, with its Vitamin C, Vitamin D, B-vitamins, Iron, and Zinc, supports the adult body to become strong enough to travel the world in their 30s. According to research released by the Philippine Social Science Journal, Filipino millennials show that they tend to travel more often and actively seek new experiences, reflecting a strong desire for exploration and personal growth.  



Opportunities to build deeper, healthier relationships


You’ve realized that connection matters more than convenience. Investing in meaningful relationships means showing up as your best self, energized, balanced, and emotionally grounded. A study published in the Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal on the values of Filipino millennials, shows that while they still value fun and social interaction, they’re now placing greater importance on relationships rooted in authenticity and emotional depth.


Opportunities to give back to others


Your 30s often bring a deeper sense of purpose. Many find fulfillment in volunteering or supporting their communities, all of which require the energy and clarity that come from good health. From the same study in the Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal, Filipino millennials reveal that caring for others and contributing to the community rank among their most important values. 


Opportunities to put yourself first


Bea prioritizes self-care and stays strong for what matters most. 


You’ve learned that self-care isn’t selfish; it’s essential. From sleeping well to eating right, you make intentional choices for your body and mind. With the right nutrition and habits, you can sustain your vitality for everything and everyone you love. Birch Tree Adult Boost, which contains support nutrients like Vitamin C and Iron, helps increase energy and immunity to ensure your body is strengthened for the long run. A recent study on Filipino millennials by Inquiro shows that many of them are now prioritizing wellness and self-care, proving that putting yourself first means staying strong enough to live and give your best. 



Experts agree that your 30s are a critical window for laying the foundation of long-term wellness. According to Carmina D. Olivenza, MRDM, RND, this decade marks the early onset of measurable shifts in metabolism, immunity, and cognitive load. “This is the stage when wellness must become proactive rather than reactive,” explains Olivenza. 


“Current Philippine nutrition studies consistently show that many adults are not meeting recommended intakes for Vitamins C and D, Iron, and key B-vitamins – nutrients that directly support immune defense and energy metabolism. We also see the importance of nutrients like Zinc and B vitamins in sustaining cognitive performance, which becomes essential as daily demands increase in your 30s.” Olivenza emphasizes that protecting your health during this life stage starts with addressing these gaps consistently. “Ensuring adequate intake of these nutrients every day helps maintain strong immunity, steady energy, and sharp mental focus – all of which are vital for thriving in your 30s,” she adds. 


To support this, fortified milk drinks like Birch Tree Adult Boost, formulated with Vitamin C, Vitamin D, essential B-vitamins, Iron, and Zinc, provide a convenient and reliable way to meet daily nutritional needs and stay at your best.


Bea Alonzo thrives in her 30s with strength and confidence, fueled by Birch Tree Adult Boost


Your 30s aren’t a countdown or a scary moment in time. They’re a decade to live for yourself, full of confidence and vitality. For Birch Tree Adult Boost Ambassador Bea Alonzo, award-winning actress and wellness advocate, being in her 30s is a time for balance and becoming. “You’re wiser, stronger, and more confident in your own skin. I started to really focus on what truly makes me happy: my health, my growth, and the people I love. It’s liberating to realize that age doesn’t define you; how you take care of yourself does,” she shares. 



With small, consistent habits like staying active, eating well, and nourishing your body with Birch Tree Adult Boost, you can live life with vitality and balance. Turning in your 30s isn’t the end of something, it’s the beginning of everything.

A 90s cult classic is turned on its head as Jack Black and Paul Rudd join forces in comedy adventure “Anaconda” In PH cinemas Jan 8




Best friends forever, or until one of them gets eaten. Get ready for a hilariously good time in Anaconda, a comedy adventure starring genre superstars Jack Black and Paul Rudd. Anaconda is directed by Tom Gornican, and also stars Steve Zahn, Thandiwe Newton, Daniela Melchior and Selton Mello.


Childhood best friends Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) are going through a shared midlife crisis, pushing them into fulfilling a lifelong dream: shooting a remake of their all time favorite film: Anaconda. Heading deep into the Amazon, all bets are off once an actual giant anaconda appears, and comedy ensues as they try to escape a deadly situation.


Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/SvfxOesLpf4 


Anaconda is the first team-up between comedy legends Paul Rudd and Jack Black, and for co-writer and director Tom Gornican, the collaboration was a long time coming. “Jack and Paul are incredible performers. We wanted to make Jack the straight man and Paul the comedy character, which is a reversal of their regular casting, to see if we could bring something fresh to the table. Jack as the emotional center; Paul as the wildcard. Those two can find the funny in any situation. Made my job much easier.” 




Jack Black’s excitement about the film was palpable as soon as he read the script. ““The script for Anaconda was funny and crazy, and I was excited to work with Tom Gormican and his brain, because The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was one of my favorite films. And … Paul Rudd was attached! I was like, ‘I want to party with these dudes!’ This was a deck full of aces.”


While Anaconda shares its name with the original film, it’s a completely different take on the film with no knowledge of the 1997 movie required. Gormican wanted to evolve handling an established IP and make it original. We thought it would be a fun and novel way to attack IP-driven films, by making a movie about a group of friends trying to make a low budget, IP-driven film,” Gormican says. “Anaconda became a great vehicle to put the characters’ lives in danger, while they put their dream of making a movie into motion. And we were fans of the fun insanity of the original film.”


Producer Brad Fuller is all in on Anaconda, which is his first comedy after producing hit horror films such as the A Quiet Place film series. He recalls Gormican and co-writer Kevin Etten pitching the film to him, and they “had a tone that no one else had come close to pitching. They had evolved Anaconda into a comedy. Tom and Kevin were not remaking a title; they were taking a title and turning it into something different and unexpected from the original.”


You’ll be laughing ‘til you’re hissing as Anaconda makes its way to Philippine theaters on January 8. Anaconda is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International. Connect with the hashtag #AnacondaMovie @columbiapicph

“As we gather tonight, I can’t help but reflect on what this event truly represents. Apart from celebrating the festive season, this is also an excellent opportunity to appreciate the year that has passed and acknowledge the people who made it more meaningful,” said DMWAI Director, Mr. Edwin C. Wenceslao.



Members of the Barasoain Camerata PH Chorale serenaded the guests at Parqal’s Christmas Tree Lighting.


Guests were treated to a musical experience, serenaded by the talented choir of Nord Anglia International School and the Barasoain Camerata PH Chorale, whose performance filled Parqal with the warmth of Christmas. Adding to the festive cheer, Santa Claus himself made a special appearance, delighting the guests, both young and young-at-heart, before the much-awaited lighting of the grand Christmas tree.


“As we light the tree tonight, may it remind us that Christmas is not only about the lights that shine around us, but also about the light we bring to one another. May the glow of this tree symbolize the strength of our connection and the bright future that we will build together at Parqal and Aseana City,” said Mr. Edwin Wenceslao.
