HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights June 22, 2025

The village hadn't changed much. The streets were still the colour of red earth, the hushed voice of harmattan still waltzed between the wild trees, kids still chased each other barefoot, and laughter still echoed like the fading chimes of memory. I had returned, a graduate, proud yet nostalgic, with the weight of time and dreams upon my shoulders. I had come back to pay homage to the woman who raised me, my grandma of blessed memory ...

Image generated using Meta AI If anyone had ever told me that NEPA—oh! I mean to say PHCN—would one day provide 24 hours of uninterrupted electricity in my area, I would have definitely laughed, scoffed, or even dismissed it as something ridiculous and silly—something that would only happen when pigs fly Yeah, you heard me, when you actually envision the impossibility becoming possible. Then we can boldly say the pigs have basically gotten an eagle's wings and are flapping them in your face as they fly into the literal sky. Guys! ...

Graduation days are never just about the diploma, they’re about the journey, the emotions, and the little moments in between. And my sister’s big day at Cebu Institute of Technology University (CIT U) was exactly like that, full of laughter, a little chaos, lots of love, and memories we’ll talk about for years. It started like most Filipino family events, late but hopeful. The car ride to the venue was already buzzing with energy ...

Don't you just love this weeks little bee mascot? It has been a busy week here in the MobeyDick household! I suppose it always is with 3 kids!

A nice morning walk on East Beach Good Morning Have a great weekend Today I will share a few shots of another walk on East Beach, that morning , I parked in Fort Taber, and while it was still dark walked around the fort, and as the colors of sunrise started appearing I walked out of the park and onto East Beach and was blessed to see some lovely colors that morning This first shot is just as I walked out of Fort Taber park and was about to go onto East Beach. Sony A7iv 17mm F11 1 Sec ISO 100 East Beach is a very popular spot in summer, I never go there on a nice warm day as it gets packed with people, and i am not a fan of crowded spots, plus with havign had so many bits of skin cancer removed I stay out of the sun as much as I can. Sadly the last couple of times I visited the beach after a nice warm summer like day, clearly many people had been enjoying the beach, but not enough to be bothered to clean up after themselves, this time it wasn't as bad as the previous time I was there and I was able to clean up most of the trash I saw there in the plastic bag I had in my camera bag. and drop the trash in the bin just on the road off the beach, why people cannot be bothered to clean up after themselves I do not understand especially when most likely they have to walk past one of the trash bins leaving the beach ...

Hello hiver Hello everyone, how are you I'm back with a black and white photo of me that you might like and this is my entry From a street corner in the middle of Jakarta, I saw an old man leaning against the wall of the pedestrian stairs, staring at me blankly. His facial expression showed the harshness of life. A few moments later the old man was seen reading a newspaper with the main page showing national political news. With his economic limitations, he still wanted to follow the direction of his country's situation ...
