Sometimes a day went well but sometimes something will ruin your day.
My day started well. After waking up I read a book entitled Bible Stories. I read the story how Jesus is being betrayed by a traitor, denied by a friend, condemned by enemies and rejected for a robber. The story leave a mark in my heart as I really felt pity on Him. Have you experienced a feeling that you wanted to cry out of pity to the character you are reading or watching? But most of the time it was just a fiction, but this is different from it because it is a real story happened in the past. He really offered His life for us.
Reading early in the morning is something I did as part of something new for my spiritual life this 2023. I didn't promise to do it day by day but I really hope so I could continue it. It serves as my devotional. I prefer to read it so that I have something to tell with my son when he wakes up.
As usual, I prepared food for me and my son. After breakfast, I grab my phone and check my Hive. I was happy seeing my post last night that it was curated by ocd. I told myself that my sacrifices last night is worth it. I supposed to post it early in the evening but my data connection is very low and it just give me an error response. I tried to load another data to other data provider but it gave me the same result. I just found out that all of us experienced a very low data connection last night. But fortunately I was able to post it before 11 in the evening. That was my first late sleep last night because I was so eager to post that blog.
I am also happy when I opened and read a notification from @hivebuzz about HP Delegation for all the PUM winners. Im so glad to be one of them and I will receive a 36HP delegation if I understand it right.
I even commented that I hope I can do it again this month.
But how? This hope already ended just a minute after that comment. I don't know what push me to open hivebuzz.me and check my PUM only to find out this.
Oh no! I almost cry. Why I was not able to power up last Tuesday, January 03. It is my desire to power up everyday to participate the PUM. I am even confident that I did it but how? Oh how this happen. I tried to remember what I did that day and it didn't give me a valid reason why I wasn't able to power up.
I already experienced a failed PUM before but I clearly remember how I forgot to power up. But this time, I can't really remember. I wanted to cry but for what? Even if I will, it won't give me a picture that January 3, will have that two arrow as a sign of successful power up. So, I just comfort myself to do PUM again next month.
My day just went and I did the laundry. I am happy doing it so tomorrow I will be free to do what I want as I don't have any big house chores to do. I am done and it's almost lunch time. I went to our neighbor to pick my son who is playing with other kids.
When I turned back home, I found out that my folded clothesline was down in the ground. I wanted to run but then I remember my son and I shout calling his name to hurry up.
I asked my son's help but still the clothes were all dirty. They are full of sand since they are all still wet.
I picked them all up with a heavy heart. I wanted to cry why the things go wrong this day but instead of crying I let my son get a basin and I put all the clothes there.
I felt so hungry as it is already our lunch time but my other mind wanted to finish it first. I grab an apple and eat it for a while and I wash the laundry again to remove those sand in it.
My sister in law passed while I am washing it again and I told her how sad I am with a frowning fave because my foldable clothesline was down in the ground making the clothes dirty again because of sand. I never expect that she would laugh out loud. She is laughing at me while I felt so bad because of what had happened.
Oh no! Two circumstances that almost made me cry today. I just hope that in the rest of the day something good will also happen.
Have you experienced a failed PUM too? How do you feel? How do you deal with it?
How about a clothesline dropped in the ground? Will you laugh at loud or cry out loud? Oh only those doing the laundry without drier could relate.
Anyway, this is just a rant and talk for today that I just wanted to share to let those emotions out. Thank you for reading, it seems that someone is listening to me.
Aguyyy, parang nag double na kamalasan yon ah sabay pa. Pero yon nga, it's just a bad day, not a bad life, nagawan din naman ng paraan in the end no 💪
Ou nga nagsabay talaga in one morning... Tama ka it's just a bad day, not a bad life hehehe.
It is good you poured out your mind , sometimes one needs to rant in order to clear our head and feel relieved , I believe you will get better...thanks for sharing.
You're right @missrev, blogging is something like talking to a friend. We don't have someone in our side to talk to but a lot of hivers who are reading is like listening to us.
Thanks for listening my rant through reading this.
It hurts.... And couldn't get more worse than actually realizing I have missed to one day and now I'm out of PUM :( this sucks.... I was really hoping to not miss streak but it got break too early.
Will try again next time!!!! Ain't no way to Give up.
Oh you too? If you know witty she also forgot to power up yesterday. Oh we're many out of PUM now. We'll try again next month.
It's so painful to miss the PUM. I also missed powering up on the 3rd of January, and I felt disappointed. However, the next day, on the 4th of January, I still went ahead and powered up the same amount I was supposed to power up on the 3rd day. The reason is that I am participating in the 365 days savings challenge with the Saturday Savers Club.
Oh so you mean not just a purpose of PUM but for the 365 days savings challenge? That's good too.
Yes @jenthoughts, I failed the HPUM since it can't the mistake can't be corrected. But I had to fulfill the obligation of my savings for that day. That's one advantage of the 365-day savings challenge. If I'm able to complete the challenge, I'd be having 667.95 in HP. It can also be done with any currency.
So, you are powering up one hive in a day?
I have a goal to power up at least 1 Hive everyday in 2023 to participate in all HPUMs this year.
Then I joined the 365 day challenge to boost my HP. The 365 day challenge involves powering up Hive amount that is corresponding to the day of the year. It will start from 0.01 Hive on day 1 up to 3.65 Hive on day 365.

This two plans came at different times so, I merged them together.
I can relate to your clothes falling down from the line. It usually happens to me and I get so annoyed. I can remember the day my white uniform fell down from the line and that was the only one I had left for class. I had to skip class that day because I had nothing to wear. So annoying!
But I believe that after this much needed rant, you will feel a whole better. As for the failed PUM, there's always next month. You could keep powering up, you don't have to stop. There will always be moments like these. You just have to make light of the minor frustrations and move on dear.
Something else will definitely smile again.
Have a nice day!
Oh it's really annoying that the new washed clothes will fell off to the ground. It's bitter in your case because the white fall off too, in my case it's all colored because I separate the white.
Oh yes, I will try to join again next month. Thanks for the upliftment.
The PUM, I just started and so far I am doing well. Kinda paranoid since each time that I will recall that I might not have processed the power up I will do it ( isama pa ang time difference ko na tulog sa umaga) I am just hoping na everything will be well. FIngers crossed talaga dyan.
Sa sampayan wala ako ambag dyan tapos na me as phase ng paglalaba haha.
Hahaha sana tuloy2 na Ang PUM mo.. hayys two months ata naging okay Ang PUM ko (hahaha not sure pa) tapos ngayon third day palang nakalimutan na hayys..
Bad days happen, the important thing is not to let yourself be discouraged.
You were right to let off steam it's not good to keep everything inside.
Now it's all over and as they say... tomorrow is another day!
A strong hug!
Oh yes @p1k4ppa10 (oh your hive name is so difficult to read, lol).. thanks for reading it. It means someone is listening to me and it really helps a lot.
It’s tough when these things happen but it’s about how we get past them and keep moving that is what matters! Sad to hear the power up month issue but there’s lots more chances to do it and your hive power will still grow so that’s good!
Yes, I will try again next month to participate the PUM. Thank you for your kind words @cmplxty, yes we should keep moving.
Still may paparating pang ibang araw, bad day lang yan we still have our good life.
You're right @faithamore. Good days are still coming.
Not that it makes you feel better, but yesterday i failed my monthly power up challenge, so it's gone for me too.
Oh no! Many of us already miss it on this first month of the year. It's okay, we will try again next month.
