#374 - Testing some portrait shots in Buscalan Village.

Good day once again beautiful Hiveans. I wanted to share some photos back when we went to the village where Apo Wang-Od resides. We stayed in a house of one of her relatives, well most of the people living in this village are blood relatives so the bond they have in this small community is tight. They village is somewhere in a mountain side and they have a great view of the road where people are gonna be coming from. Once we set to the humble home of our host I went to a small terrace at their upper floor where we are staying and notice the plants grown on used milk cans.

There were several empty milk cans which were redesigned with soil to be use for plants and well their living up to their purpose as a can for five finger weeds to grow on to. The province of Kalinga where this small village is located has always been in the news as one of the major source of Marijuana plants and that's maybe the reason that they put these plants as ornaments at their home which is dope.😅

I only wonder if all of them here are using it as medicine or for recreational use or perhaps both already. There are wide ranges of mountains here so planting these kinds of weeds is easy and also difficult for the national government to figure out where are all the plantations are. That's how this weed became my subject for portrait 😅.

Moving on to portrait where our subject is my lovely wife. She covered the weed behind and we can see the rooftops of the neighbors. This is their kind of houses in here, no fancy structure just a house with roof for their families and domesticated animals to live on.

Then we went out of the house where we were staying for a night and went to a souvenir shop to buy a bamboo stick with a calamansi thorn in it which will be required to get a tattoo since they require tourists to have their own thorns that will be used for the traditional tattoo and that's where I also practice taking some portrait shots of my wife and I think I still need more practice.

That's the road in the background, it is carved off the mountain side by workers and the road is still fine even if it's raining heavy for several days, no land slides so far when we were there.

The store where we bought our traditional tattoo kits.😊

There are also rice terraces here but not as huge as the ones in Batad which is world class. Here are also distinct terraces which they use to farm their rice so they can have a harvest for their families consumption. Those tiny houses also belong to other locals here in this peaceful tiny village.

Hey, I saw that you sent hive to bittrex. I wanted to ask you a favor: opening a ticket on their support page at bittrex global asking them to release hbd and hive withdrawals. It seems they are blocking access to deposits and withdrawals for no apparent reason. It’s been more than one month already and they do not even answer why. I’ve opened a support ticket with them it’s been 15 days and nothing. If you want to be able to get access to your hive or hbd on bittrex , let’s unite! Cheers

Shoot! I didn't know that they have issues that long with deposits. I might now see my 500 HBD in a while.

I feel your pain

I have sent way back 2021 too. Can we still get it, it was 12 HBD.

I you search for support on their website (try for yourself), you'll find that they send us to this website
https://bittrexglobal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us

and asks us to make a different account just to open the support ticket, which I found ridiculously obvious they just want to make the whole process harder for us.

after you make an account on this bittrexglobal, open a support ticket (just like I did).

the more support tickets we open. the more pressure they will feel to stop doing these shady things.

there is no automated maintenance. there is no robot fixing anything automatically xD
before clicking on my link, go to Bittrex website and try to find the support page by yourself. you'll see what im saying.

I was researching on twitter, and it seems they blocked some coins for 8, 9, even 10 months.
I expect them to release it someday, but that's really outrageous.
lets unite guys. the more, the better.

CHEERS!!

I managed to trade HBD a month ago with them but yeah will open a ticket, thanks for letting me know.

You’re very welcome

Hahah Sir, i think secret lang yan damo.

Oh, the rode behind, was it newly built? Scary road that is i think.

Haha normal na sa kanila yang damo na yan, kung saan kami bumaba ng jeep e may mas matangkad pa sa 5feet na damo din alaga nila paggamot daw 😅.

Years na rin nila yan ginawa para hindi mahirapan sa biyahe mga tourists. Pero inaayos lang para masemento.

Ay ganon po ba .haha..ay tataas pala ang damo na yan, 5 feet..ahhah

😅 parang ok lang sa kanila pag paisa isang tanim, wag lang ektarya😂.
