May is here: thoughts and the HPUD! 🐝 💪🌸

Dear Hivers!

Another month that flies by🐝, and suddenly we realize that we are now in May, how is this possible? Well, we're already in the beautiful season of spring. It's warmer, there are more flowers (and we're starting to see more insects, too), and we feel like summer is coming soon. Summer isn't far away, but in the meantime, we're enjoying the moment, the bright light, and today, the first day of the month, which is also a holiday. Happy May!🌸

Some thoughts

Pretty much the same as last month: no much time to dedicate to this Hive thing and less and less motivation because when I try to find a moment to share something, it doesn't seem worth it either... I tried to share some different content (not more travel content or posts) but I see it is not being much liked by Hive users, every time less. So less and less, less of everything: time to be here, less interactions in general, less comments (sent and received), even less likes, and clearly less rewards. Definitively less, less motivation.

So I'll focus more on my own personal things, my current situation, my new tasks, and my life. If I ever feel like sharing something, I'll share something, but much less frequently and to take care of the staked elements. I thought about getting back to it more in the summer, but I'm doubting now and thinking about it... maybe just a little bit is better.

Anyway now I will have exams (plus some other work to do) so I will be busy, in the meantime I try to enjoy a bit the good weather and the spring flowers!

After all this, to the point, now let's see how this shorter last month has resulted for us:

Hive Power Up Day

Well it's ok, I keep my staking activity so, let's focus now on the HPUD, it is therefore my 29th Power Up Day in total. In my case it is the 5rd of 2025 obviously after January, February, March, April now May. I am growing on Hive by doing monthly power ups.... so let's go with the Hive Power Up Day, hivers!💪

So here I have confirmed finally quickly a new POWER UP of 100 HIVE again because I have checked my HIVE amount and I still can power up a big amount also this month, so let's keep growing!

And then my HIVE POWER now grows again, now 9,669HP!!! Although the total with delegations and support is more than 8,661HP taking into account the done and received delegations (-1008HP).
Since now I hope that delegations will help me to increase my HP even passively although it will be a slower increase, but I would like to reach my goal despite all.

And my goal is clearly: 10000HP!. And it's really now very close, although as I am earning less HP and HDB and everything maybe it will take a bit more... but it will be also time to think now which my new goal will be...

Ah! and I'm a Dolphin, that's great.

Savings & Stats

Some time ago I decided to start saving some HBD, in very small amounts, time to time I add maybe 1, 2 or 3 Hive Dollars, and the amount saved has grown thanks to the interests! And I also added 50 HIVE one time. Hope my savings (=ahorros) will grow more! Now I have more than 297 HBD!!! And the last month I ended with 290, so in a month I have increased my savings almost with 7 HBD!

And I have accumulated also more Ecency points that use for promoting my posts a bit, although I do not use all and now even less... Thanks Ecency!

As I always say, my goal is to keep growing on the platform, but I am posting less now, I try to be a bit present at least. Here my growth in these last 30 days (I checked hivestats.io)

Reputation Level

And well about my reputation, some time ago I reached the level 73 on #HIVE! And I see on PeakD that it's 73.62 so it's easier now to think in the next step: level 74 although it's really a slow process...

Holozing & Tokens

To the Holozing project I arrived late, from January 16th, 2024, but I'm more than one year in this project now! And since then I have started to claim my rewards and I have added a bit to the liquidity pool and delegated some HP too to @zingtoken to get more interests as well. And then with the ZING rewards staked I'm earning more every time! Almost 2000 ZING earned in total! And my current contributors position is 990, a bit better again!

And well, I check my tokens wallet, where I still keep a nice amount of ALIVE token and other ones. For example, I have also some LEO, LUV, LOLZ, PIZZA, etc. and of course ZING. But I won more LEN thanks to some contests, and I got INDEED which it seems interesting and HOPE while I increase my BBH amount too to reach 1000 (but still 342).
And the new one it's HBIT and DIY, let's see how all is going...
