October is here! Thoughts and the HPUD! 🐝 💪🎃

Dear Hivers!

Wait, what? Another month more that have flied by🐝 too? Almost without realizing it, the year is passing us by and we are in October, now. Yes, we're already in one of the best months. Well, I really like this month, so I hope to enjoy it a lot, as well as the fresher air... Because I'm not going to lie, last month, with the arrival of autumn, it wasn't too cold yet, although it did rain a little. The weather and the season are slowly changing, while the year goes by quickly. Now there are many other things to celebrate. Are you ready? Happy October!🎃

Thoughts For October

Well, incredible but true, we've gone from beach flip-flops to starting to see decorative Xmas! items in many stores. It's crazy, going to stores in short sleeves to buy very warm sweaters that you don't know when you'll have the chance to wear, because here, the cold will still take a while to arrive. Meanwhile, we're adapting to the new month and the new routine that began last month.

Getting back to the routine, getting dressed and going out in the mornings is the norm at this time of year, and now the days of summer swims seem distant, even though they were just a couple of weeks ago. I've gone for a walk a few times, but I've realized that I hardly have time now, unlike before. That's what happens when you start over, this new challenge I set for myself last year: going back to university.

Well, everything's going well, the first good feelings, and the insecurities are diminishing, on the one hand, because last year was a good teacher, and I realized many things about my way of thinking. Sometimes we have ideas and thoughts that have nothing to do with reality. We create movies in our heads, and then everything in life becomes easier. So this year I'm learning. Not only am I learning things, I'm also learning to think differently, to react differently to issues that arise, and to enjoy my fascinating timeline, which will surely bring me many things, including more homework and things to do, but let's enjoy the process.

And all that's left is to enjoy the various celebrations, of which there will be many between now and the end of the year, so... Happy Halloween!🎃

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

Hive Power Up Day

Well I'd say that despite all I keep somehow my presence here, and now today, day 1st of the new month let's focus on the HPUD, it is therefore my 34th Power Up Day in total. In my case it is the 10th of 2025 obviously after January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September and October now. I am growing on Hive by doing monthly power ups always... so let's go with this new Hive Power Up Day, hivers!💪

So here I have done as usual a new POWER UP of 100 HIVE again because I have checked my HIVE count amount and again also this month I still can power up a big amount, super! We will see if I will be able to do a big one the next month it's depends on how October is going to be... And not an issue this because the big goal was already reached! 10k HP. So anyway, let's see and let's keep growing!

As many of you know, in July I reached the big milestone: 10.000HP. And I see now that my HIVE POWER keeps growing, now 10,770HP!!! Although the total with delegations and support is more than 9,920HP taking into account the done and received delegations (-849HP). In addition 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 next goal despite all.

And what's my goal now? 15000HP??? So let it be. It will take some time obviously but goals are every time more ambitious and bigger, and that's not bad just some extra patient is required. In the meantime, let's keep growing! Ah! and I'm being a Dolphin, which is 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, during a time. And the amount saved has grown thanks to the interests! And I also added 50 HIVE just one first time. Now just seeing how these figures are becoming bigger and hope my savings (=ahorros) will grow more! Now I have more than 319 HBD!!! And the last month I ended with 301, so in a month I have increased my savings almost with 5 HBD!

And also I have accumulated also many Ecency points thanks also to some contest like "guessing Shadow Hunters authors" and other contests too, and the wheel on the app (and that I usually use again for promoting my posts a bit), although I do not use all so I have a good amount. Thanks Ecency!

As I always say, my goal is to keep growing on the platform, but I am posting somehow less now, although I try to be a bit present at least. Here my growth in the last 30 days, despite all not bad, the orange line is up! (Checked on hivestats.io)

Reputation Level

And so, about my reputation, some ("long") time ago I reached the level 73 on #HIVE! And I check now on PeakD that it's 73.78 (from 73.74 last month). So it's easier now to think in the next step: level 74 although it's being really a slow process... every time the growth of that figure is slower but it's still growing... patience!

Holozing & More Tokens

About tokens... I started late to this interesting project "Holozing", starting in my case from January 16th, 2024, but I'm more than one year, and a half, 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! Most of 3844 ZING earned in total! (from 3545 last month). And my current contributors position is 926 (from 934), better again!

And well, I check my tokens wallet, where I still keep a nice amount of LEO and ALIVE tokens and other ones. For example, I have also some LOLZ, PIZZA, etc. and of course ZING. I swapped all the LUV tokens for some LEO, not much but better like this, we will see if there will be more interesting tokens to add...

Also I am earning more LEN thanks to some contests, and I got INDEED too which it's good and HOPE too! While I increased my BBH amount too to reach 1000 (finally). Also two more, HBIT and DIY, let's see how all is going... and it seems there are new others like ZOMBIE, but I don't still know much about it. Any suggestion?

Acknowledgments & HPUD and HPUM information

Finally, I want to thank @traciyork for the long-time HP delegation to me, thanks! And also this time to @apis.hive that have delegated to my account more than 321HP (oh the amount has been increased twice!) thanks to the great project Apis.Hive. Visit the site and web, grow and get supporting HP delegations! THANKS A LOT!

And if you do not know much about all this, ask and look for information Hive users always help, and I share here a post with useful information. Here the updated link:
