Happy New Year! 2022 is a tough year for every one of us, but we survived. And now we are in 2023, and I hope you are much stronger and braver to face the challenges that are just about to come. And ready your heart too for the good news and achievements that you might unlock this year. A bountiful 2023 for us, cheers! And because it is the first day of the month, you already know that today is HPUD.
But before that, let me share some GANAP or happenings on our New Year's celebration, which is simple but fun. We also have these superstitions and beliefs that we always follow. But mostly, it was my mom who prepared all of that. They never missed it as they knew it was very important and that it would make the year great. We also had some feasting during Media Noche, which was unfortunate for me as I didn't enjoy it that much because of my acid reflux.
We have one simple dish, but it is our favorite. It is called Caldereta, but there are ingredients missing from this dish as we are still considering Mommy F's condition right now. By the way, it is pork caldereta, and if it is cooked by Mommy D, even if it has missing ingredients, she can still make it taste better and be super delicious. We just love her cooking, to be honest. And instead of using potatoes, she just used taro.
All in all, it was a happy new year for us too. We just stayed in the house and even opened the store, and that's how our whole New Year's Day went on. How about yours, guys? I hope you had a lot of fun with your family.
Moving on to HPUD Happy Power Up Day, guys. To be honest, I almost forgot that today is HPUD Day as my mind is so busy with other things. Only when I visit the HivePH Discord server do I remember it.
Thank you, HivePH admin, for doing this to us ( ◜‿◝ )♡. YOU ARE THE BEST!
Anyhow, I am really happy for others who have already achieved a thousand HP on their accounts. I can only watch for now while doing my best to achieve mine. I know I have enough hive to reach 1000 HP, but I feel like not touching my hive for now. So my only source of HP is through my earnings here. My reward was set to 50/50 for HBD and HP. I will just stick to this for now.
So here are the before and after of HPUD for December and January. I only powered up 13 hive today; 10 is the minimum, so anyone who has 10 hives can still power up, as you still have plenty of time to do that. Just so you know, there's a lot perks on joining here so, come on now.
My account progress is a little slow right now, especially on my reputations. But that's okay; I will continue to write to achieve more this month. I want my account to slowly go up while doing my best effort. Do it with me guys if you want to grow here.
As for my followers, I gained 10 new friends in my account, and I am so happy with that. I'm a little inactive now on checking other articles in the other communities, but I'll try my best again this month. All that for my account growth!
And here is the congratulatory message from HiveBuzz: thank you so much, 
That would be all for now, THANK YOU FOR READING and HAPPY HIVE POWER UP DAY!
