First and foremost I wanted to say Thank You to everyone here on HIVE.
It has been a great journey so far. I admit I was very overwhelmed by how welcoming people were on this platform.
With this platform, I've experienced being invited by one of the known Milk Tea Shops in Cebu which I featured on my previous blog and that is Dakasi.
It was a great thing that happened because I never expect something in return. Writing about my visit and my experience and tagging them is just me showing appreciation and the response was over the moon for me. Not because of any complimentary but because they appreciate me for what I did and that is because of Hive
To be honest, I've never imagined that I will blog again after how many years. I started blogging on a different website but I wasn't able to focus due to my work and other priorities.
When hive was introduced to me by my friend @purepinay she was very excited to bring me in because she believes in me and she believes that I can do it. But she knows how stubborn I am and I told her that my work is keeping me busy and I am having this anxiety and I still need to have more alone time. Since I usually visited her during my day off and she loves talking about this platform and how she wanted to give other people the opportunity and how great this platform is and so I give in and told her, yes okay I will join but I might not be able to be active since work is pretty busy and she was happy when finally I said yes.
Above, is the photo taken during the first seminar wherein I asked my friends to join me together with @jeennicious, @cheerupwithjl, and @byaaaheeelou. It was nice meeting other people and listening to how they progress and their journey on hive.
I started posting my introduction last July 31, 2021.
Imagine that it took me 3 weeks to post my first blog here on hive. 🙈🙈🙈
I keep on telling @purepinay ou lage mag post naku sa akong introduction puhon
(yes, I will post my introduction soon). 😄😁
And finally, I did it, she was very proud of me and so am I to her.
The photo above is our second month here on hive. That is where the time that I was able to get a chance to meet @asasiklause.
That day went very well and we started getting comfortable and laugh about random jokes.
On that day I was able to realize that this is not only a community but a family.
Did you see those beautiful human beings in the photo? Meet my new family. 😊
As mentioned in the previous blog that I was able to meet such wonderful people like @morenatravels, @gwenfinity, @jongcl, @sassycebuana, @swaycanete, @gerel whom I considered as my little sister and the best photographer @itsmiessyonpeakd and our bunso (younger sister) @meysa. 😁😅
You can see us laughing, giggling in the photo because we want to promote positivity.
We've faced challenges already especially @purepinay but she never stopped from allowing us to learn, to keep on doing what we love, and to always look on the brighter side.
Again, as what I always told her "@purepinay" and to other people that they may judge you for committing a mistake but they can never judge you as a friend as a mother as a daughter as a sister and as a partner. They only know your name but not your story.
For almost 15 years that we've known each other, I know when you are at your lowest but you always find a way to say that you're okay though you're not I know that this is your passion and I know you will bounce back and we will be all cheering you up. I want you to know that I owe this opportunity to you dap. We will stick around and we got you! 😊😘
I can't thank you enough for being my rock when I needed to cry and lean on.
I also want to extend my gratitude to my fellow hivers who touch my heart, who serve not only as a friend but who consider me as a family that they can laugh, joke, and bully at times.
I hope to share more ideas, more time, and share this wonderful moment not only within our community but with others too. Until then hivers, thank you for reading and much love.
