The Unstable Data Connection and Third HPUD Participation

Good day, Hiveans! Today is power-up day. I don’t want to miss this opportunity to participate in the monthly event, and I hope you’re fine while reading my blog today, too.

The photo may seem not related to the topic, but the picture was one of the captured pictures from the dashcam when the road was not unstable.

Today, I want to share some updates about the topic. It was my first post in the community. During the pandemic, I used to have an internet connection in our home because going outside was limited and most of our transactions our work were online because we were in a work-from-home setup. But when the face-to-face duty returned, it seemed that the internet connection in our home was a waste since we could only use it when we were at home, and we could not bring it to our workstation. My husband and I decided to cut off the subscription and we just used the data connection in our Android phone since when we need to use our laptop, we could use the “hotspot’’ found in the phone. So, we used a data connection to use the internet. Every month we subscribed to the unlimited internet offered by “SMART”.

But, from the start of the second week of September until now, we experienced an unstable data connection for the reason that there were changes in the location of the cell tower. I did not ask further, and I wished that the connection would go back to normal.

Four days before the HPUD, I wanted to withdraw my Hive savings to participate in the HPUD but due to a connection, I forgot to do it until it was already three days before the event, and withdrawing Hive from savings takes time and I don’t know how to use other application for conversion too and I don’t trust myself in terms of online transactions.

To participate, I tried to ask in the #hiveph discord if they could exchange my HBD to Hive since I had 2 HBD remaining at that time, luckily, @krios003 answered my concern and I was able to sell my HBD for Hive for HPUD. I’m very thankful for the members that belong to the said discord. They are a great help for people like me who are not into online transactions.

While waiting for HPUD, I noticed my Hive increased unexpectedly though every day I received a tip from the #hivephilippines because of delegating HP. When I looked at the transaction, I received a tip from @commentrewarder because of the comment I left from the post of @acidyo. Thank you for this too.

The plan to power up 10 Hive ended up in 12 Hive. I know it’s a small amount but 10 Hive for power up is the minimum amount for me. I hope this amount will rise on my next HPUD. Well, let’s see.

Happy HPUD.

Thank you for reaching this far. If you want to inspire, learn, and witness beautiful scenery, experiences, and places, do not forget to follow, upvote, and reblog my post to support and motivate me to write more. Thank you.
