It's another long week update and activities with my hive family.
Monday is coming and the start of the new week and I can't wait to share with you the things I've done during these past few days.

First off, is the preparation of the upcoming Christmas party and looking for the best location to hold the said upcoming event.
I together with @asasiklause decided to check two hotels or a possible prospect which are the Citadines and Bayfront Hotel.

It was an honor to meet Mr. Ian Medalle Sales Director of TAG CONCESSION SERVICES INC who happened to be @asasiklause good friend and colleague way back when he was Managing some of the restaurants of The Abaca Group here in Cebu.

We had the chance to take a look at the place to see how it looks like and discuss a few things such as the inclusion of the package and how much would it cost.

The next stop is the Bayfront Hotel which is nearby the area and just within walking distance.
We arrived and were accompanied by Ms. Melody Simborio.

She showed us two options for the event, we have the roof deck wherein we can have the access to the swimming pool.

This area is good for summer, boho, or Coachella theme parties and a great deal as you have the access to the pool.
After checking in the area, we went upstairs to check the function hall.

Both hotels offer a great deal and to be honest it is hard to decide which and of course we are considering the amount we have to spend. This isn't final yet it is nice to highlight the things that keep my week productive.

Up next is to meet with the ever-gorgeous @sassycebuana for a coffee date. Indeed coffee date is about everything, we can come up with good ideas by sharing them through coffee dates and bonding as well and a little catch-up.

It seems that we always have a busy week and we received a message from @purepinay that she was invited to have a food tasting with one of the food trucks or stall in Sugbo Mercado owned and managed by Chef Kristel of L.A. Taco Truck by Chef Kristel.
This is also one of the best times to meet one of the new onboarded members @queenmeiko22 and the comeback from her 5-day vacation in Bohol @itsmiessyonpeakd.
Of course, before we headed to the food tasting we meet up for a coffee date again and personally introduced @queenmeiko22 to @itsmiessyonpeakd and @asasiklause.

While we are at the coffee shop we are already preparing for the questions we need to ask and share about the expectation beforehand. We were joined, of course, by @purepinay and @gerel.
The whole food tasting experience will be up on my upcoming blog. I will just show some of the photos taken at the said event.

Four amazing months on HIVE

Who would have thought that I would invest four months of my time and effort on this platform? Even I, myself was amazed how this platform brings joy and fun and next-level mixed emotions. Lol 🤣😂

I will have another blog for that as my draft wanted to explode with a lot of things that I haven't finished. 😁

Yesterday we had our meet-up held at Citylights Condominium. I was able to meet @jongcl's friend and soon to have her introduction post so watch out for @chillyadventures and follow her too. We were joined by other hivers such as @cheerupwithjl, @jeennicious, @queenmeiko22, @filipinajourney, @morenatravels, @kcwonders, @itskach, and ate @gwenfinity. The highlights of the event are on how we understand hive, the things they need to take note of, how to secure their account, and ways to save their password to make sure they will have a copy of it if any in case they forget or if they lose access to their devices. We have discussed along with @sassycebuana, @asasiklause, and @jongcl the importance of why we are doing this, and that we should learn from each other and help one another. As we have our regular jobs and not the time we are available once they needed help we let them know that they can tap anyone and everyone is always happy to help especially those newly onboarded and even me I still have some questions and I am happy that I have them helping me throughout and constantly checking each other not only within the blogging world but as a family, yes we considered each and everyone as family, it is hard for me physically to be with my family because of the pandemic and these beautiful people always made me feel that I have a family here that I can count on and so I am more than blessed knowing they are one chat away.

After the discussion, it's time for food preparation for the post-birthday celebration of @purepinay and @sassycebuana and marking our 4th month here on hive. 😊😘

~Today To-do list~

Before my Sunday ends, I've made sure I've checked my members and asked them how are they doing and cheer them up, and give them positive words for them to continue what they are doing.
I've always highlighted the things that they did better and asked them not to stop from learning and most importantly to engage.

And lastly, I want to give a shoutout to @hknauy. I don't let pass the comment by just replying and not by remembering it by heart as promised to her that I will give her an update on how my eyebrows look like after a week from the procedure and here's how it looks. 😊🙂

All photos used in this blog are from my phone, @itsmiessyonpeakd, @gerel, and @jongcl 's phone and camera.

Now, it's my Sunday night routine which is the virtual mass. Thank you for dropping by and until my next blog and update.
Have a great rest of your day/night. 😊😘
