OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1022nd compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Our time here in this world is not in our hands, you can die now while reading this or something else or maybe tomorrow or maybe this day without you waking up after you sleep. There's a lot of possibilities on how we will die and we can't predict what time it is.

Death is just beside us as our twin no matter where we go, anytime it can whisper into our ears that it's our time already. Isn't amazing when that's how it works wherein death can warn us about our end? But it's not, it will come suddenly without a warning, unless you're suffering from serious illness and the doctors estimate your life.

I know it's very important to take care of our skin, especially our facial skin. But honestly, I haven't given it the care it needs. In fact, now, at 23 years old, I'm starting to pay attention to taking care of my face. I think I take a lot more care of my hair because I've been learning a lot about curl care for the last 3 years, since I did my hair transition. So I'll start by telling you about my hair care routine, and then the easiest one: my facial care routine.

Pen down, I start with a thankful note to life. The last shot of injection was meant to end the dizziness and the sickness that has camped me in like a mother does her baby but, hell!!!...That was the aftermath of the last shot.

It started as a joke with one or two rashes on my skin which I thought was because of the recent heat in the country, but It became hell when the itchiness started. I don't know what you classify as hell but looking at the Biblical definition of it, I will go with that.

Before anything else, I'm happy to be back here in HIVE after looking for the keys. I mean, I lost which of my email addresses I've sent my keys as I cleaned my phone. I remembered I opened my account in my son's phone but his phone can't connect to internet or should I say was not working well as the web browsers were all black and can't even view any websites even youtube even how much I refreshed the tab. I asked my wife if she received any of my keys but she didn't and even reviewed her emails and our messages in messenger. Where did I retrieved my keys? Well, I found it on my Deped email drafts, lol. I'm just fortunate that I can still open my Deped email coz I've heard a news about it to be expired and won't be working. So, now, I secured my keys and even wrote on my memo notebook where I saved it for me not to forget.

Several years ago, when I wanted to undertake personal growth through coaching and speech, I felt very lost. Until that moment I had undertaken with concrete products such as the creation of a business in the area of communications, a cyber, or following an artisanal business model such as jewelry and goldsmithing. To be honest, in both ventures I worked in a very intuitive and self-taught way. Evaluating them from a distance I can say that I did very well and that I learned a lot by applying the old method of trial and error.

The first semester of this academic year is about to finish at the end of February. During this period we are expecting a lot of workload from different professors. "Hell Week" as we call it, is a week where our schedules are so tight to breathe, where deadlines for our needed requirements are established, and where most of the examinations take place.

And what do I paint the most? Well, I always have had a huge fascination with painting landscapes. And why? Not just because they are aesthetically pleasing to the eye when hung on someone else's wall. But more on because it is my up-close encounter with nature next to traveling and going into these serene places helps me in slowing down my pace. Since I do not have the chance to travel and see the breathtaking and astonishing beauty of nature in the flesh for now, I guess I just have to put them into the canvas and let my mind explore instead. This image of quiet haven is my soul's way of setting foot into places that could lighten up my mood when life's load has been weighing me down.

After stopping by at Bangui Windmills, our tour van drove going to Patupat Viaduct in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, Philippines! It is one of the longest bridges in the country. This coastal bridge provides you a beautiful view of the sea that extends up to 1.3 kilometers according to our tour guide/driver.

As soon as we arrived, the guide told us to enjoy the view and to take some good pictures of this famous destination in Ilocos Norte. I invited my wife to join me but she was still putting on sunscreen. So, I thought she could not shotrifice her beautiful bright skin for a photo.

Our day actually started at 9:30am, since that was the designated registration time for my semester, but since it's been almost two months of vacation, my routine is a bit damaged, waking up early was not easy, and getting ready in a timely manner was a complicated task, so I rushed to the Experimental Deanery of Humanities and Arts (DEHA in Spanish) just at 9:30am to realize that registration had not started yet 😅

The tequeyoyo is a Venezuelan snack, specifically from the Zulia region, and is the same as the popular tequeño, but filled with fried plantain, cheese, and ham. You can play with its filling and change the ham for chicken bologna or bacon, you can even add strips of shredded meat. Next I am going to give you the list of ingredients that I used. This recipe is for 10 units, but I only made 5 because they were part of my breakfast today. Remember that the dough can be refrigerated and used whenever you want.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
