Dear Hivers!
Another month that flies by🐝, and now it's November! And this month is It's strange, because it's when we notice the weather is different, the daylight lasts much less, it rains more, and we're at home more when we can. At the same time, we also realize that Christmas is approaching, there's less time left... Let's get warm and excited! ☕
Thoughts / And a disaster in my country
And as I was saying, this month seems to be a transition, coming from a month of October that is always intense, in every sense.
On a general level, first I would like to comment on what has happened these past few days in the Spanish region where I live. You have probably seen on social media or in the news that there have been terrible floods (in Valencia area) due to heavy rain. I thank people who have asked me how I am, like my dear @jelenaa for example (thank you).
Well, I am fine, in my town it was very windy, but not too much rain, to be honest, we were lucky, and many things were cancelled, the University told me that we should not go, and I avoided going out into the city.
But in other nearby towns in the province many tragedies have occurred, there are many dead, including children, I think that in total they already exceed 100 and there are missing people whose relatives are looking for. Many others have lost their house, or their car, there are many images of cars piled up in muddy streets, it is all very sad, that is why I do not share those images here.
But I would add that these episodes of intense rain in a short period of time have always occurred at this time of the year (named "gota fría"), I remember. The problem is that politicians not only do nothing to mitigate the effects but they prevent the forests from being cleared, they do not clean the streets and it is the country where the most dams and water reservoirs have been demolished. So everything floods more.
That is the real problem here, but they are miserable and prefer to say that it has been climate change and that it is not their fault but ours, for having an old car instead of a private plane like them. A lot of demagoguery and lies, and we are tired of it.
On a personal level, it has also been intense. I have had to combine my first full month back at university, as many of you already know from a post I have written about this decision, and at the same time keep my same job for the time being. It is not easy, and this has caused me doubts and some frustration, insecurity about not doing things quite as I would like due to lack of time or rather due to sheer tiredness. You have to balance everything to be well, that is what I am learning too. We will see...
And I have also had, obviously, less time to be here at Hive, but now let's see how this intense month has gone for us:
Hive Power Up Day
Well, so let's focus now on the HPUD, it is therefore my 23th Power Up Day in total, and I must say that now it has been much easier, I had already some HIVE to power up fast! More HP now!
In my case it is the 11th of 2024 obviously after January, February, March, April, May, July, August, September, October and now November, every month I keep growing on Hive! So let's go with the Hive Power Up Day, hivers!💪
So here I have confirmed and finally quickly made now a new POWER UP of 100 HIVE I have checked my HIVE amount and still I can power up a big number this mont, it should be good if I can do it the whole year, let's see... According to the total amount already gained, this goal is very possible and easy to reach. So for now, let's keep growing!
And then my HIVE POWER now grows again, now 8,255HP!!! Although the total with delegations and support is more than 7,781HP taking into account the done and received delegations (-473HP). Good numbers already and delegations now are done and profitable, I think so.
And of course, after reaching almost 8000HP my new big goal is to reach -->9000HP!. And it seems all goes fast, right? I see how the amounts get bigger and each time faster as more HP we have, specially now since I'm a Dolphin!
Savings & Stats
Some time ago I decided to start saving some HBD, in small amounts, time to time, and the amount saved has grown thanks to the interests! And I also added 50 HIVE. Hope my savings (=ahorros) will grow more!
As I always say, my goal is to keep growing on the platform, keep publishing when I can😅, joining some contests and enjoying writing and engaging and of course, although it won't be so easy as I'm gonna have less time from now on. But still growing in these last 30 days! (I checked hivestats.io) and I think that August has been fairly good, see the orange line!
Hive Power Up Month
Well I have already said in the previous HPUD post that I decided to stop powering up every single day during the month, it means no more PUM for me. It means too much time needed to focus on this and currently I have to focus on other different matters more. And also motivation is not the highest lately, I keep being present but not giving to Hive all my attention as I have done until now, it is not worthy sincerely.
Reputation Level
And well about my reputation, recently I have reached the level 73 on #HIVE! It seems that there is not any Hispanic contest anymore or others during this day, but I keep powering up a bit every month, maybe less but always joining the HPUD if this will be possible, let's go Hive!
Holozing & Tokens
And all hivers always say, there is always more things to learn about the ecosystem and as you know well, many opportunities here on HIVE! For example, the Holozing game project and token.
I have arrived late but since January 16th I have started to claim my rewards and I have added a bit to the liquidity pool and delegated also some HP too to @zingtoken to get more, and then with the ZING rewards staked I'm earning more every time! My current position is 980!
And I check my tokens wallet, where I still keep a nice amount of ALIVE token, some LEO (but I can't grow much), also LUV, LOLZ, PIZZA, etc. and of course ZING. But I won more LEN thanks to some contests and I got INDEED two months ago which it seems interesting.
HPUD and HPUM information
Finally, if you do not know much about all this, ask and look for information hivers always help, and I share here some post with useful information, thanks to @hivebuzz, unfortunately some posts have not been updated and no rewards on this days. But still thanks to @traciyork, as well as for the Hispanic community, thanks to @victoriabsb. Here the only updated links:
Come on, don't miss this day there is still time left to take advantage of the HIVE Power UP Day and the possible prizes without forgetting the appropriate #hashtags on your post about the Power Up Day.
And soon you will have a badge too! Just hurry up!
Happy Power Up Day💪🐝 & Happy November☕
