This was suppose for HPUD, haha, but whatever I am late. 😆
# Missing in action!
I have been missing in action for almost two weeks, and yeah, I really planned that way! It is just a bummer that I missed some of the events in the community, especially HivePH's first Christmas party. 

I took an off from blogging or any sort of grinding for a minute to get my brain rewired for the coming year. I am quite a workaholic and want to get things done, but sometimes we need to listen to our bodies. I just noticed that last year, I got sick easily compared to the years before 2022. We are not getting any younger, aren't we? 😆 

I pledge to myself to focus on what really matters this holiday. I focused more on spending more time with loved ones and me time. 

# Recap from 2022!


One thing that I am grateful for last year is meeting a community like Hive. Along the way, I met new friends that I consider as genuine friends. I shared a piece of myself, whether it is personal stuff or just being a crackpot, and I honestly never felt weird for the first time sharing stuff to people I just met over the internet.


Before 2022 ends, one of my goals was to at least have 1k of HP, and to become a minnow. This forced me to grind almost every day to scratch those goals off on my list. I know it is easy for others to reach such HP, but for me, it was satisfying to see on my wallet that 1k and that minnow badge! 

If I have to rank the highlight of my year from an art-wise perspective, my collection on Chibis on Hive would be the top on the list. Although last year I create my Grumpea collection, I feel much supported by the Hive community. I am grateful to Alien Art Hive and NFT Showroom for supporting small artists like me. I can say the collection did well because I thought it will have a small reach since many good artists hang out here. I sold a total of 7 NFTs before the year ends. This is what makes me really inspired to do more chibis. I thanks these peeps for supporting me. 🥺 I promise that I will do better and grind more! 
Anyway~ 


My brain is still on vacation mode. I suddenly forgot how to write a proper blog. 🤣Oh, well. This is just an update of me for now. Hope that you enjoyed your New year!

Gotta a case of a holiday hangover! 🤣

2023 will be a year of more success and blessings! 

**Just want to share an art collab from my art friends on Hive!**
