Hello Hive!!! How is everybody doing? It's been a month since I last published a blog. The main reason is that I have been busy with my life as a student and as a son at the same time. I struggle with time management (currently working on improving this) but I'm here again. This blog will focus on how Hive has helped and impacted my life since its arrival and some of the things that made me love Hive.

December 17, 2023It is day 2 of the tournament and the atmosphere is getting pretty intense, with only 3 matches left to complete the 7-round matchups. Some of the participants did not return to the venue despite having three rounds left. Probably because they had bad records and did not want to continue participating in the tournament. I, for one, during the start of day 2, had 1.5 points (That's 1 win, 2 losses and 1 tie). Without a doubt a bad record but that did not stop me. Losing did not matter for I was after the fun, the enjoyment, and of course the experience. Of course, the main goal was always to win, but what can I do? They were too damn good. They were miles ahead of me, it was as if I was in a race against a Formula 1 racing car while driving a run-down, Toyota Vios.

Recently, I participated in a chess tournament in the Municipality of San Remigio together with @penflecto. @indayclara Invited me, @penflecto and @kaijen. She offered to sponsor our travel expenses and also a place to stay-in during the 2-day tournament. We thought about the offer for days and prepared for the upcoming tournament. Unfortunately, @kaijen would decline the offer because his mother would not grant him permission to enter the said tournament due to personal reasons and so it came to a conclusion that only me and @penflecto will participate in the tournament.

Source Of All Images"Grand Blue Dreaming" is a Japanese manga series written by Kenji Inoue and illustrated by Kimitake YoshiokaWhen you encounter the title of the manga for the first time, what thoughts immediately goes into your mind? Well for me without looking at the genre of this manga, I first thought that this manga is like a fantasy genre or an action packed manga, where the main character goes through a lot of struggles and self-realizations to beat the crap out of an enemy. But no HAHAHAHA, it's kind of the opposite from what I thought. This manga is somewhat a slice of life anime and a comedic one at that.

Hello, Hive community!!! I am back, but this time with great news. I just joined a chess tournament for the intramurals in our school and guess what? I won first place with an 8-0 record, like can you believe that?. So the reason why I have not posted anything over the past few days is that recently, I have been quite busy preparing for an upcoming chess tournament for the intramurals in our school. Our school marked November 20-21, as our Intramurals Month Celebration. It is a time for the students to showcase their talents and skills in their specific fields of sports and for me it was chess.

My real name is Clent but here in Hive, you can call me “tomilee” as it is my username here in Hive. I came up with this nickname a few years ago, It is my username in a game called AQW(Adventure Quest World's). - is for try as hard as you can. -is for obidience. -is for mirth, your laughter. -is for inventor, how many things will you create? -is for loyalty that you show. -is for excellence, your passion, your drive. -is for extra, those little things that you do. Originally, I used the name “Pascal” in all my accounts except here in Hive because I wanted something new that will truly express what I am as a person so I came up with the name “tomilee”.
