First Time Ever! Hive Teachers Meet Up at the Beach: An Enjoyable Get Together

Happiness is a collection of joyful experiences shared with soul friends. Get together and have some fun!- Amy Leigh Mercree

Anyone who would meet new friends will definitely feel the same way as I did. I was excited then when our hive mentor Hive account@indayclara initiated our meet-up schedule and it will be at the Halfmoon Beach of San Remegio and scheduled for the weekend. I was pretty sure that I could attend that day. She inform us that we can bring something to share with the group and the majority of the group was excited and made their list of foods or something to bring.

This was the list of names and something they will bring that day.

The T-shirts design

The group agreed to have shirts and it was Hive account@callmesmile who choose the design and agreed with the body. Wow, the design was amazing. When it was printed and handed to me, I felt I am officially proclaimed as a blogger! My heart was full of excitement then.

The Exciting Day Came!

Before we headed to the venue, as per listed above what to bring I bought soft drinks, hotdogs, and bread. Then Hive account@amoreyl asked if she can join us going to the venue and I respond to her " No problem ma'am you can join us". She bought lechon manok to share with the group.

I brought my family with me so that I won't get stressed in checking the time. My hubby usually is having a phone call when I'm away from him, asking what time I'm going home. He may be missed her beautiful wife😊! (just kidding)

When we arrive at the venue, there we have seen Hive account@indayclara in her red sexy suit. As I moved my eyes around and I glance at the beach. I was excited to dip, the water tempted me.

Where we stayed?

We've seen Hive account@missleray, Hive account@callmesmile , Hive account@indayclara, and a man with glasses Hive account@ybanezkim26 in the cottage. We stayed in a special cottage reserved by ever gorgeous Inday. When we arrived Hive account@indayclara welcomed us, she hugged and kissed us and my kids as well. She asked my kids if they would like to dip at the beach later because she liked to dip too with the kids. I was excited too when I heard her voice full of excitement!

While in the other side Hive account@jobeliever, Hive account@selflessgem, and Hive account@missjoycee grilled the fish, meat, and the hotdog at the grilling area.

We preparing hotdogs to be grilled and of course, let us have a photo opportunity first😀

The Preparation of the Table

I helped in the preparation of the table together with Hive account@missleray, Hive account@amoreyl, Hive account@callmesmile, Hive account@indayclara, and Hive account@ybanezkim26.

At first, I don't know this man, who was too serious and silent in preparing the veggie and fruit salad. My mind was puzzled as he also wore the same shirts as us. My mind started to analyze the past messages from Inday that Sir Kim will join us. Finally, he was introduced to us and we're glad to meet you in person Sir Hive account@ybanezkim26!

Just a few minutes, Hive account@naymhapz and Hive account@dehai arrived with their beautiful daughters. Happy to see them😊

It's Lunch Time! Taraa let's eat Hivers!

The lunch started with a prayer by Hive account@callmesmile. When we were having our lunch together I felt we belonged to one family ( my hive family). We let ourselves get the food that we wanted. The first thing I taste was the "turon" from Hive account@missjoycee. It was my first taste of that kind of dessert/food.

Sumptuous lunch indeed especially having a chitchat and sharing experiences could really be an additional savory to the foods we shared. After we eat Hive account@mommyjane arrived early ( early for the next subject) just kidding Hive account@mommyjane😀 and she brought her delicious empanada.

Short Messages and Reminders

Inday elaborated and explained how happy she was then when the Hive Teachers meet-up was realized. She thanked everybody who did it and celebrated the first time Hive Teachers Meet up. She shared and give really useful input and we were very grateful for the knowledge she shared. My salute to her, she was so strict in mentoring us that this made me extra careful in having this platform. When we meet her this day she was a super sweet and wonderful woman I've met.

The next speaker was Hive account@ybanezkim26, first, he introduced his real name and his hive name. He let us know his educational background and we were amazed that he stayed in hive for many years until the present. He reminded us of the Do's and Don'ts of this platform. He also added that in a blog it should be your own words and not copy words from the others. He shared his knowledge about Hive.

The Open Forum

After the discussions and the messages, the open forum was followed. Inday and Sir Kim told us that if ever we have questions about the hive, we were free to ask them. They will be willing to answer our questions and our doubts. That time, questions were asked and answered by our two lovely mentors of Hive.

Photo Opportunity with my Fellow Hivers

Banana Boat Time!

When Inday told us that we will ride the banana boat. I was hesitant if I'll be joining. The first thing was, I don't know how to swim what if drowning happen should I bring something aside from the life jacket? I had a phobia of this, I almost drown/shrunk when I was young. I don't know how to swim when the water is above my head level.

The Challenge accepted I face my fears, this time my daughter ride with me and so I need to watch and pay more attention to my daughter.

_{The lady in gray-colored shorts with the brown hat was me.}

When we reached the blue-colored water, the boat stopped I asked why we stopped and the boatman told us that we were free to dip, swim and enjoy the clear water.

Without any doubts, Hive account@indayclara swims with her goggles. She swam under and we clearly see that she could even touch the corals under the sea. Thumbs up to Inday! And I was amazed she could dive that deep.

Teachers started to dip and enjoy the clear water and I was the one left in the banana boat because I guarded my daughter, she doesn't know how to swim and dive as well same with me. If anything happens I could help her because I'm on the top of the banana boat. I was tempted to dip and I told myself, I will take a dip there near the seashore where I could stand and lay in the ground😜.

The day ended with the smile on our faces. I enjoy the Hive meet-up, from this I've met new friends, met new faces, and shared experiences and learnings. I am grateful to be part of this platform. Kudos to everyone that made this event successful and to our mentors Hive account@indayclara and Hive account@ybanezkim26, thank you so much for spending quality time with us. Until then, looking forward to another Hive Meet up.

Have a great day ahead!

That's all for now Hivers. Thank you for reading this Hive Teachers Meet Up blog. Keep safe everyone and God bless.
