Vacation hangover is real, although it has been more than a month ago now. I think I will be in this mode for the rest of the year. 😅

Island hopping in good weather was a real treat. I'm glad I was able to enjoy our Palawan trip despite my mobility issue. 😅 The views overall were so amazing. I know I'd cherish this experience for a long, long time. 😉

These photos were taken during the last leg of our trip in Coron. Fun times indeed. Glad that at least 2026 has already given me a wonderful year. Now, it's just counting down till the end of the year. 😆

Step back and just breathe. These two things I remind myself when I'm facing challenges wherein I have no immediate solutions on hand. Taking a break and working in the garden are also helpful. I think it's 'coz they relax the mind and enable creativity to set in. Sometimes if I don't know what to do, I wait. The answer somehow comes to me, albeit at a later time. 😆 Patience is indeed a virtue. 😉

Back for my once a week tracking of Hive goals. Days are passing by too quickly indeed. 😅 Growth is slow and steady. I am, however, also getting good results with goals IRL. I'm achieving a bit of balance with online and offline activities for now so all is well I suppose. One task at a time.. one day at a time.. the same thing goes for my Rising Star game as well as the diesel pools I've joined in. 😉
Wishing everyone's also achieving good success in their goals. Till next week.. 🎉

Less than a week is left in August. The weather locally has cleared a bit, although it has gone a bit warmer once again. For me, that's no fun at all. 😂 Pros and cons. Wet and cold or day and hot. Both have advantages and disadvantages I suppose. Oh well..
Below are the affiliate sites I'm working on. Right now I'm back to accumulating more credits on LL to convert to cash. My goal is to reach another payout.
It's a wrap. Will be back for my ALIVE staking day. Wishing everyone a lovely week ahead. Ta-tah! 👋
