It has been two days straight that I wasn't able to publish here. It is the longest hiatus that I have had since I started here. It was not because I focused too much on Hive, but the school's schedule is very hectic and tight. I chose to publish on Hive first because I am still building my name there together with my batch mates.

If you read some of the users and writers here posted their experiences and achievements in Hive. Most probably, they are my batch mates. We are very grateful to our mentors, curators and members of each community who welcomes us. I cannot say we will be successful in our onboarding without them, especially to the person who taught me. I grasped the basics of hive and how the community works differently from each other. 

This is my current profile on Hive. My profile picture is still the same so that some read.cash users might notice me easily. It's a great tactic as well. I have 37 followers and I followed 46 people. Some of these people are from read cash and some random people I think who have great blogs and contents. My bio was still the same too. 

The number 55 on top is what you called reputation. I gained this reputation in a week of blogging in Hive. I think the exact reputation of mine is around 55.86. So, just a little bit more and I will reach 56. I love the color of the front-end. It was easy to navigate and everything was sorted. Just familiar yourself and you can find the right buttons. 

This is my current sidebar. 86.56% for voting mana, 100% for downvote, and 43.91% for resource credits. At first, I was very confused about how these three are different from each other. Thankfully, from what I read and heard from the speakers before, I finally understand them.  Just confusing at first, really. 

I have 213 notifications. I actually browsed and saw them all. I just haven't cleared it yet because it consumes resource credits. I replied to comments and mentions too. I loved seeing votes on my notification. Who wouldn’t be? Also, when you are mentioned in some curated articles. Goodness! Heaven feelings right, batch mates? 

Achievements unlocked! 

Oh my! Are replies to the one user's comment on my post right? It means I had more than 100 replies to my 7 blogs. I cannot believe it. I think the more people comment on your post, the more others can notice you. I love seeing my blogs full of replies, but I am sad to say that I reply to them at least 4-5 only pero online. You know how big comments are consumed on resource credits. 

Thus, I received more than 1000 upvotes. Just where do all these people come from? Whenever my blog is being curated, there are so many unfamiliar users. I visited some of them and left a comment. Just being grateful for curating my post also the curation tail. The next goal is 1250. Quite high! But let's trust the process. 

I made more than 100 comments to random blogs I see in different communities. I think most of the time I leave comments to community post's from HivePH, The InkWell, Asean Hive, Hive Garden, and Hive Pets. Then the rest are blogs of users I know from read cash. I also received more than 10 HP as my very first payout in Hive. I just smiled looking at it. 

Oh wait, I didn't notice that I broke already a few minutes ago receiving more than 1250 upvotes. Goodness! There are too many and I am very happy. So meaning, the next goal is 1500 upvotes. Aja! The more you are curated, the more upvotes you will receive. How amazing being curated by known people and curator groups there. 

What did I experience? 

Hive is such a beautiful and amazing place for bloggers like us. Yes, read cash is also awesome. We cannot deny the fact that we're so in love in read cash until now despite what's happening. Hive taught me to push and break my limits as a writer. Always make an effort writing, designing and engaging in the community. The same concept in read cash too. The experiences I gained from reading and the tips I got from other users are plenty enough for me. 

Actually, I am looking forward to all of my batch mates right now. You know the sense of excitement and pride because each of you are dedicated to writing. You have the same goal, same heart and same passion. The only difference is how much time, discipline and efforts we are exerting. But overall, I learned a lot. I'm excited about our future endeavors in Hive. Cheers my batch mates!
