This is my 6th time participating in Power Up Day (PUD) this year. As such, I consider it appropriate to look back and review so far, my journey in this competition. I just want to revisit a few highlights in the last five months.
In my March participation, I shared that PUD came to my attention only the first week of February after wandering on Hive for six months. In joining PUD, the HBD that I collected from the two weekly Splinterlands challenges provided me the initial fund plus the $100.00 savings I had in February. All in all, I was able to gather 169.712 HIVE and I used 50 of that for PUD and set aside 30 HIVE for PUM. For the remaining HIVE, I utilized them in purchasing a small quantity of LEO, SPT, ONEUP, SME, and CTP.
The second time I joined PUD, I was financially short due to my participation with other Hive Engine tokens such as CUB, CENT, and LISTNERDS. I spent $180.00 for these three tokens: $80.00 for CUB, $50.00 for LISTNERDS, and another $50.00 for CENT.
In my May 1st participation in PUD, I failed to solve the budget problem due to a lack of valid IDs in processing a loan from both the Pag-ibig Fund and the Social Security System. The good thing is I was able to save at least $40.00 for the month of April and I used such an amount to buy 43 HIVE as part of my preparation for PUD.
The following month, I shared my personal observation of how my HP growth speed up since the day I joined the PUD challenge.
Last month’s participation, after being inactive for several days, I forced myself to write the PUD article. I shared there how I burned 35.413 HIVE by sending it to the wrong wallet address.
In today’s participation, I made preparation by converting my 15 HBD to HIVE and buying $20.00 worth of HIVE. And so, I came up with a total of 70 HIVE where I intend to use 20 to power up and the remaining for my other activity on the blockchain.
Just this morning, 
After powering up, below is the new status of my Hive account:
