Yeah, it's another Monday. I wish I could say the word happy but not today. It's a little heartbreaking as Bon finally said good-bye. His health has been declining but I have not been able to bring him to the clinic. Unfortunately, I ran out of time, and he didn't make it.
That would be his portrait photo for his funeral souvenir. I have yet to tell my daughter as she left word some weeks back that I should only tell her when she's off from her work. That's tomorrow. Today though I made arrangement for Bon's aquamation via a company whose services we've used before. I'll make this brief for now as it's really breaking my heart. ๐ 2025 has not been kind to me and the first quarter is not yet over. ๐๐โค๏ธ๐ก Please say a prayer for me when you can. It's not easy taking all the hits.
Prompt A Day : Quote

It's interesting how this quote reminds me of the People Power Revolution here in the Philippines back in 1986. I remember it quite well. I was still in high school then. It was that time when the people stood up for their rights and toppled a dictatorship and ousted an administration that was overstaying in office. I thought that the Philippines had potential for great progress. That was decades ago. How ironic that the same ousted family are now back in power. Bah humbug! Now I do wonder if there's any hope for the country at all. ๐๐
Hive Goals

Hive Power: 14366.105 --> 14388.018

It's that time of the week for tracking Hive goals. It's good to see slow and steady growth. My main goals remain: 15K HP, 200 HBD, 75K AP (staked & delegated). I'm still a long way from my goals so it's important to be consistent day after day. I know I will somehow get to my targets.
Till another week...

Ten days into the new month. 21 to go. ๐ I honestly can't wait till summer is over. I simply prefer the cooler months. ๐


FAFY is on special feature as I got my extra credits today. Plus I won in the raffle for more ad credits. It's always good to have extra ad credits to promote my LL coop link for more earnings.
I actively work on these affiliate sites daily. Goal is to reach $4 on LL. Gotta be consistent to reach another payout.
That's it for today. I need to recharge my energy as it's still a long week ahead. One work day done, five more to go. I've been on a rollercoaster ride today. I just need a little break tonight. Have a fantastic week ahead. Nighty night from Manila. Ta-tah! ๐
