Time flies really fast. It feels like I wrote my last power up post a few days ago, and here we are in December, the last power up for this year 2025. I'm happy I participated just like in November but this time, I reduced my #hive #powerup amount to 20 Hive to participate unlike last month that I staked 50 Hive.
You might wonder why my staked amount drop, well, basically I'm happy to announce that I have achieved my set goal of 2k HP that was supposed to be achieved by December. I achieved it surprisingly in November. My happiness knew no boundaries, that feeling when you see being actualized before your eyes. That's the feeling I experienced when I achieved my goal.
My account statistics also showed tremendous growth along with my curation rewards thanks to working with the #ecency team as a guest curator for the month of November. It's an aspect I never saw coming, infact I didn't even expect to be chosen, it was a surprise to me and working with the team helped me learn how some aspects of Hive works especially in relation to curation.
I kept to being active in engaging meaningfully on #waves and #snaps, and I've noticed how easy it is to retain new users to #Hive through microblogging because it is easy to do and also fun with the interface just like web2 platforms which they are already used to.
SETTING NEW GOALS
My 2k HP goal has been achieved, congratulations to me. My new goal is to achieve a 3k HP goal by this time next year, 2026. I know that it can be achieved if I set my mind on it and thanks to 
Sad to say that my second attempt at HPUM failed again because I missed just a day from the whole month. It was painful but I had to just accept it and try again this December with hope that I will achieve it this time.
Let's keep strengthening our account through stakes and support for #Hive general as a platform.
HAPPY HPUD HIVEANS
