It's My 4TH Hive Birthday! 🎂
Published on HivePostify by @jijisaurart · Thu Jul 09 2026
Today is my 4th year on Hive! 🎂🎊
I cannot create a better introduction for this post...😆
But I am happy that I am still here. 😌🎶
Lemme take you to a little throwback! 🎊
Before joining Hive, I had been blogging on a crypto-based platform already, so this world is not new to me. Hive was introduced to me by someone from that group (AHH I FORGOT WHO SHE WAS😩), and then I hopped to HivePH Discord for the first time.

At first, I was confused about how Hive works. One of the challenges during the first months was building my account. It was not easy! But as I spent more time in Hive, I learned bit by bit. And of course, with the help of HivePH onboarding and people I made friends with! 😀

Looking back, I can see how my art style changed over time. I want to try different art styles, and not just stick to one. Aside from making digital art, I did watercolor painting.

NGL, I feel most comfortable posting art stuff, but then I wanted to post some of my cooking skills, haha! I thought to myself, why not post it as well?

I love going to cafes and restaurants too! And putting some reviews! ✨ My foodie era ✨

---- But the truth is, I only go to cafes when I am meeting someone or need a place to wait. It’s expensive to eat out these days!
Our economy is so bad right now that spending $3 per cup of coffee will send me to bankruptcy 😆 just kidding!
--- As I mentioned above, I came from a blogging platform, but what was lacking was a community. Here on Hive, I found amazing communities that I can relate to, especially the art community. Other than that, I was inspired to grow more hobbies like cooking and reviewing food.

Sadly, Splinterlands suddenly stopped posting weekly contests without an official announcement (or I just missed it). Still, I am hoping it will return. I know Hive is not doing well now, and I understand that there are great changes as to where the community should focus.

Right now, what keeps me going is the Holozing community. I am looking forward to more developments of the game. I don’t know what the future would be if I could make time to play the game, but I’m just here supporting.

Talking about games, I have not posted a gaming blog in a while. I played fantastic games this year, but I did not put them on the blog. Ahhh. Any recommendations? 😀

Four years is definitely not my final chapter here. Every year has added another page to my book. I am happy with how my account has grown and how much I have improved in drawing and writing. 😁 I'm lowkey proud of myself! 😆 Grateful for the opportunities here, like commissions and recognitions from the communities. Lastly, the friendships that I found here, and I know that connection is beyond these walls. I thank you all.
