OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1202nd 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:

I have to be honest with all of you! I don't play any physical sports! I am totally useless in basketball, volleyball, badminton, and any physical sport you can think of! Why? Perhaps, It is because I never was exposed to these when I was a kid, or maybe I just do not have the skills needed for these activities like endurance, agility, speed, and reaction time.

However, this post is about board games which is my game. I always enjoy playing different board games because for me they are totally fun minus the catching of breath and the excessive sweating. It is fun because of the times you are playing individually therefore there are less chances that you will be blamed for losing. It is fun and enjoyable because you get to use your mind a lot, and maybe a pinch of luck.

There are significant changes in my life; one is I started a new vegetable garden. If you happen to see my previous gardening posts you may notice that the garden is inside an area that is enclosed with concrete walls. That old location is very safe for wandering animals the problem is that it always has water when the rice farming season and rainy season come. It is also home to the ducks of one of my sisters.

Instead of documenting the vegetable garden when the vegetables are all flowering and producing fruits, I decided to take photos whenever I am able to (from the start until flowering and fruit-bearing). I started taking photos on June 8, 2023, when my vegetables were grown significantly and when I finally have to time to build a trellis to which they are going to climb (String Beans and Bottle Gourd are vigorous climbers). In the photo below, the Okra and the Strings Beans in the poles can be seen.

Greetings to all who are part of this beautiful community. Today I want to share with you this easy to prepare recipe with a spectacular result. The chicken is tasty and juicy, the bread crumbs give it a thick and tasty touch that makes it even more special. In addition, the ingredients we will need are very affordable, I am convinced you will love it.

Greetings to all colleagues and friends of the community, it has been a while since I have posted in this community but this time I had the opportunity to talk about the acquisition of some components, as well as the maintenance of the cpu I own, because some days ago it was failing to start.

One day while watching a video with my wife, we noticed that the video was sticking, and we thought it was the video that was failing, but after closing the video I could see that the operating system did not react, so I restarted the computer and from this point the cpu did not want to start, although the video was loading in the logo of the brand of the card. Then I decided to consult with a friend who knows better about these issues, which told me that it could be that it lacked thermal paste, then we agreed to meet last Saturday to do a better check of the computer.

If we talk about board games, I tell you that during my childhood we had many, checkers, Chinese checkers, ludo, chess, cards, monopoly and puzzles, just to mention the ones I remember for now. As an adult I liked to play monopoly, a long game but a lot of fun as long as you don't go to jail or go broke. Ludo is another game that has no age and the whole family can participate. However, I have to admit that in most of these games only one member of the family can win and the game instead of cheering me up and distracting me I find it a bit stressful and that is not the idea.

From my perspective, the word "balance" is fundamental in all areas of our lives. That is very clear to me, however, it has been very difficult for me to find the balance in what has to do with the minimalist lifestyle. In general I tend to be very practical in the things I do in my day to day life. I'm not that way because I'm lazy or because I don't like nice things, rather I prefer to give more importance to the things that from my point of view are more important.

For example, my family, especially my dad is usually very detailed and enthusiastic, he really has a personality that makes you fall in love, however, in many occasions we don't get along when it's time to share with friends. If it is a welcome, farewell, anniversary celebration, in short, any activity that requires us to get together among family and friends, my dad starts planning a good meal in an environment full of details and sometimes he has even made us record videos or make small plays for the guests. Just remembering these events exhausts me mentally.

Last Saturday my whole family have an outing to Tinuy an Falls. If your living in a Philippines, I'm pretty sure it sounds familiar on you. It's located at Mindanao. Tinuy an falls is a multi-tiered waterfall in Bislig City in the Southern Island of Mindanao. One of the beautiful spots in my place. This is the weekend experiences of my family at the province.

Tinuy an falls is one of our famous waterfalls. The waterfall itself has been featured in various international travel magazines and TV shows. It make us proud that even were living in a province the people been discovered it.

Everybody loves to eat especially with family and friends. The foods would keep us bonded more while having chitchat together. Eating while having stories and laughing together would give an additional savory to the foods.

I think since we are very little girls we dream of the love of our life, thanks to movies with happy endings and all those romantic things they sell us, therefore we dream of a perfect date, where everything ends with fireworks and a beautiful song in the background 😍.

For those who still don't know, my family has had a small cake business for more than three years, in which we started little by little and without any knowledge about it, we learned everything through trial and error, we had the best cakes in Tariba ( I am not exaggerating, they really were the best) but this year the country's economy started very strong, for that reason our cake business was practically dying little by little, we stopped selling and accumulated a lot of debts (that is, the business became slow down but debts don't) so, changing a bit, we closed the pies temporarily and started selling hamburgers.

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.
