Trust is one of the most valuable values that will bridge us in reaching our hearts' desires. Without this, it would be hard to reach the highest happiness that we wanted to be.
Well then, it is in this trust that a group of teachers of Caduawan Elementary School, headed by their highly respected principal planned the orientation upon hearing the goodness of Hive. It is in this trust too that they believed in our integrity as bloggers and without any hesitations, they were all excited to be oriented.
My sister who used to be a teacher at this school, had given them a little knowledge about Hive. Their overflowing eagerness motivated them to instantly set a schedule for them to be oriented properly. Upon knowing this, my heart leaped for joy and I was exhilarated for this to come.
Without any doubt, I enquired @ybanezkim26 and @indayclara if they were available on the date scheduled by the principal, however, due to some reasons which were beyond control it was moved and was finalized last June 24, 2023. We got amazed when we heard that @intoybugoy will be coming with them. It would be a great pleasure and privilege to be meeting him in person.
Since I initiated this orientation, I made sure that everything was well-prepared. The venue was at the school so it would be accessible to everybody. I instructed my sister on all the stuff needed in school so everything will run smoothly. With the guidance of @callmesmile, I was confident enough that everything will be successful.
.....the most awaited day, the 24th of June has finally come. Mixed emotions were suddenly felt. I prepared myself earlier so I can embark on the venue before the set time.
It was so flattering to have seen flocks of future Hive bloggers come to the venue. They were very excited and patiently waited for Sir Kim, Inday Clara, and Sir Intoy.bugoy to arrive. While waiting for them since they were still traveling from afar, I asked Miss Smile to have a little discussion about the platform so they won't get bored. Before we started an opening prayer was done first and it was led by myself. Then, Miss Smile shared her successful journey in Hive and how does it help her.
After her sharings, I volunteered to share mine as I'm very proud of my success on this platform. Every detail that needs to be tackled regarding my journey in Hive and why I'm still sticking to it was elaborated well. Upon hearing all our testimonies, the more they got interested and excited. Amidst my talk, the main facilitators of the said orientation came. We were so delighted to have seen them arrive safe and sound.
Then, Inday Clara talked first and with conviction, she tackled the Hive Ph onboarding. The participants listened attentively to her as she discussed everything. Inday Clara successfully shared her knowledge about the platform. We are forever grateful for this.
It was Sir Kim's turn. He confidently talked about the goodness of Hive and how he enjoyed it. The pieces of information that he shared, opened the minds of the participants, and were even encouraged more to be onboarded. It was a great time having him as a speaker.
When Sir Intoy.bugoy discussed his part, the participants were informed and gathered more knowledge about how the platform is to be used. His discourse enlightened the minds of everyone present. We were so blessed that he spent his time with us.

This should not be missed, the photo opportunity as this will bring back us to this significant day that we have been together.
The Tummies' Satisfaction
The snacks which were served to all the participants were sponsored by the generous principal of the school. She prepared lamaw (flesh of tender coconut and its juice mixed with milk and biscuits) and paired it with cupcakes. We were not hungry during the orientation.
We heartily prepared a heavy lunch to be shared by everyone however the invited teachers and students who were present, left after the orientation and ate their lunch outside.
About the sumptuous lunch, with the full support of the Northern Cebu Teacher-Bloggers namely: @callmesmile, @dehai, @jobeliever, me @naymhapz (present during the orientation); @missleray, @mommyjane, @amoreyl, @simplechalyns, @missjoycee & @selflessgem (weren't able to come) we have served delicious foods on the table. We ate happily and were thankful for the successful orientation.
Since it was Inday's birthday the other week, @ciadanmea sponsored the blueberry cheesecake for her. What a happy day!
The session ended successfully and they were loaded with full knowledge now. We are indeed very grateful for the presence of these valuable persons on this platform, @indayclara, @ybanezkim26, and @intoy.bugoy. With their unconditional service, many future Hive Bloggers in Cebu's North will now be ready for their journey to Hive.
