Magandang buhay!
With the mid-term election just a month away, many politicians are taking every opportunity to make themselves known to the public through various schemes of campaigning. Tarpaulins and flyers in different sizes and colors hang almost everywhere — along the streets, in balconies of houses, on electric or cable posts, on cars and trucks, etcetera.
Some installed loudspeakers and microphones in vehicles that roam around the streets playing pre-recorded campaign messages, promising new programs, and such. This method is quite annoying as the loud and repetitive sounds disturb the tranquility in the neighborhood. A few days ago, the husband was irritated when a car pulled over the roadside just below our house and kept the recordings playing for half an hour.
In other places, some candidates distribute packs of maintenance drugs with their faces printed on a card along with the words "free medicine from __________ (their names and the office they are running for). Smart? Creative?
(Credits to FB)Geez! It's hilarious and infuriating at the same time. I mean, yikes! It's just crazy how far some crocs would go to win. I am not looking forward to voting, but thinking about it, my vote may help make a difference. Some folks say, "Receive those things, but remember NOT to give them your votes when election comes." Wicked but okay, lol!
Well, 'nuff of that. I don't wish my blood pressure to shoot up on a lovely Saturday morning😊 Ooossaa...
It's goal time instead!
Week 14 went quite well, and we welcomed the second quarter with high hopes, although the crypto market is not being nice, especially to those whose trades are going the opposite of what they expected or getting liquidated. It sucks when things don't go our way but such is life. We can learn from our mistakes and get tougher over time.
Meanwhile, I'm still keeping on with my saving and stacking. The numbers are growing slowly and nicely.
| Week 13 | Week 14 | + / - | |
|---|---|---|---|
| HBD Savings | 1,400 HBD | 1,426 HBD | 26 HBD |
| Sats (BTC) | 118,314 sats (0.001183 BTC) | 126,049 sats (0.00126 BTC) | 7,735 sats |
There isn't much to say about this progress, but I'm glad to have added a bit more during the week — 1.85% for the savings and 6.53% for the sats. Both are gradually increasing, which is what we want. Sporadic growth is good too, as it excites us, but I think slow yet steady progress is still the best way to go. So we shall keep on with that😉

I can relate the traffic and noise during elections as politicians are busy in campaigns and no one can stop them before the election day. Vote for the best in your country....
Your savings really increase slowly as mine also slowly gradually 😉

You're welcome 🤗
Yeah savings are growing until i need them 😀
Sana Yung manalo sis ay Yung MgA deserving. Huhu. Grabe tung bansa natin pgdating SA corruption.🙁. Btw congrats pa Rin SA progress.
Sana nga sis. We don't like to judge people pero minsan hindi maiwasan.
Talk of election campaigns and their shenanigans, those ones are the worst. They can do anything to get you to get them into that office and when they get there, they forget every promise they made. Same old stories. My countries politicians are the worst. If people can eat their goodies and not vote them that would be nice but over here, they will suffer for years and then when politicians throws some goodies in their faces for just a week, they would foolishly go to vote them again and the circle of suffering continues. That’s why we are stuck here.
Meanwhile kudos to your savings that’s very encouraging. I want to be like you when I grow up😂 on hive. I hope as we keep interacting that I’d get the privilege of getting some secrets from you on how to strive here and also grow my savings with targets just like you…meanwhile, I’d keep tagging along but before pissout, how many HBD do I need to have to start or what’s your advice on starting HBD saving?. Right now I have none😂
Most politicians have amnesia when they take their seats, lol! Sadly, the public suffers and the cycle continues.
As to the savings, thank you. Just start when you can. Small amounts add up over time. 😉
Ok nice
Thanks
I don't like the way of publicity for election what you shared. I feel that candidate should be do publicity based on their good work and ability.
Your staking is going well. That's good.

It's terrible, to say the least, but hopefully, people/voters will see that and choose wisely.
Thank you. It's nice to grow it slowly.

Same names, same games. Sad but most Filipinos never learn. !BBH
I can only shake my head and sigh, lol!
I think I'm giving up on voting, whoever goes up, nothing changes it's always the same one side or the other
I feel you. It seems that no matter how many elections happen, if those who take the seats are mostly looking to satisfy their own selfish motives, things do not really change.
Politicians putting their faces on free medicine is one of the sneakiest things I can point to. Good job on your savings, slow and steady is the best moves, it's wisdom
It sure is. It's shameless too, lol!
Roflllllll!!! These guys are something else. They just make these promises and do something else when they are finally elected. But I won’t deny that the names on maintenance drugs is quite creative and smart, lol.
Yes, we give them that, lol! It makes me shake my head. Hope people will play smarter.
I hope so too. Sadly, they most times fall for it, lol.
