Hello I Am Bless, The Young Hive Explorer - My Introductory Blog

"Too young to take, a challenge that an adult can make. A test needs to be contemplated before it can be effectuated. Fortunate I am, not because my name speaks slam, but because I have my family, who always have their backs on me."

Me,The Young Hive Explorer

Hello, my dear Kahive! I am so excited to plunge myself into the world of Hive with you, my "ates and kuyas" in English, as my elder brothers and sisters. And as a newbie and, at the same time, probably one of the youngest in age, I am expecting and pleading for your guide as I navigate the vast sea of Hive. This is my introductory blog.

My parents named me Bless, and I am a 9th grade student at Jagobiao National High School. I am recently residing in Mandaue City with my only funny, jittery, but golden-hearted brother, Preach, and highly honored parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jemuel Dumalag. It is such an honor to be part of this platform with my username, @Blessie31, which is personally defined as someone who is passionate in singing. I am thankful to my mom, @crownrich for introducing me to this platform, Hive. My special message of thanks is at the bottom of this blog: "kay basta mga VIP ipaulahi ☺️."

My Prized Family

The Little Me-Rewind

---

When I was about to see the bright, dark side of the world, my mom took a 12-hour fatiguing laboring period of an extreme lassitude from excessive strain or undue effort, as she sometimes told me during a random conversation with her, especially the "bearing down" stage in Tagalog, "pag iri," as she held her breath, in order to push me out. She endured thousands of pushes as she reckoned in a joking manner. Mom fainted out, though 😥; thankfully, I came out as an 8-pound, flabby, and pinkish-born baby. It was on the 31st of August 2008, on an overcast and humid Sunday, around 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

NURSERY

Eagerness to participate in school activities

Too young to be at school. My mom sent me to school at the age of 2 because I behaved well and was able to listen to instructions at home. So she tried to have me sit in her class, taking part in various school activities with the permission of the school administration. At 5, I could already read and write simple phrases into easy sentences. Thus, I accelerated to my first grade. Well, with God's mercy and grace, all is well in my studies.

Ardent Interest-Fast Forward

---

Arts and Crafts

Immersing myself in art and music are two of my most ardent interests. To tell you honestly, I am unaware of the fact that I have the talent to draw. It was my classmates and even my teachers who exclaimed. I did not take it as a big deal, but later on, I found it delightful on my part. So from that time on, I was one of the students, asked by my teachers to join some contests. Win or lose is not an issue, but it is the lesson I have learned in this phase of experience. That is what my mom has instilled in me since.

Covering a song entitled "I Will Fear No More"

Moreover, music is somewhat alike. I did not know that I could sing well, even my parents😅 It was not until family and friends uttered it in surprise. Until I managed to juggle school and singing carrer. Conjunctively, with music, I am practicing playing the guitar and being able to compose gospel songs. These two are gratifying me dearly in my heart.

Ministry

---

Facebook page content writing in the Media Team Department.

Doing hand sign language for hearing impaired youth in the Hearing Impaired Department.

And since I am only 15, my experiences in life are quite correspondent to my age. Thus, I settle to consider the events from where my life revolves.

EVENTS

YOUTH SPORTS FEST

---

---

On September 30, 2023, we had our sports festival at Moalboal, Cebu. We enjoy our trip not just because of the funny games, the refreshing cool seas, and the delectable treats, but most of all because of the warm fellowship with one another, the exciting team-building segment, and the soul-wrenching lectures that we have given.

Year Start

---

The youth department had our annual year start at Lagoon Consolacion, Cebu. We started each year with a blast of lively experiences with the team as our leaders initiated a short program that runs from simple thrilling games to emotional uplifting seminars. We were doing so because we wanted to start the year with joyous moments and, most of all, the pronouncement of hope and blessings in all their forms.

Mandaue Youth Aflame Conference (MYAC)

---

Another restorative experience was just orchestrated last Saturday, October 14, 2023, in Paknaan Mandaue City. We did a shadow play that depicted upholding moral culture for family in the new generation.

Youth Leadership Training Seminar (YLTS)

---

A purposeful 3-day mind recharge. Together we seek, learn, and grow as one in our yearly YLTS at CTU Danao Campus held in December 2022.

Summer Youth Camp

---

---

Summer Youth Camp at Eastern Visayas Academy in Talisay City last July 2023. This event is a 3-day affair. Here, we, the youths, were empowered to be the best version of ourselves in all forms of life.

PURPOSE IN JOINING HIVE

Joining hive is long-term career opportunity for me. It is not only an avenue for socio-interpersonal relationship since we can wire connections with different people, but also for personality growth such as writing and creativity skill etc.

HIVE ONBOARDING ORIENTATION

---

I attended the Hive orientation seminar last October 21,2023. I have learned a lot from the orientation conducted by mam @indayclara, sir @intoy.bugoy and other onboarders.

REFLECTION

---

In everything you do, clothe yourself in humility and fear of the Almighty. With these two virtues, mercy and blessings will see you and will sure bring you into an unexpected place where your heart will race ablaze.

We may be eyed in recognition of our manifold talent, but if we fail to dive deep into humility and into the core of godly fear, we will miss half of the best moments of our lives. On the other hand, holding on to these pairs would mean unsparingly duplicating the amount of an epitomic leap of greatness in store for us. Culminatingly, upon reaching the supernova of life, unmitigated suffering ravages our chance of hope when failure smites us. But chill out. Here's a disclosure to clue you in: failures are suspended success for a person of paragonal virtue.

I appreciated your time reading on my introductory blog. You have my sincerest thanks. That would be all for today. See you on my next blog😍.
