OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1474th 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:

Once upon a time while we visit the Mergrande Eco Park of Davao city and it takes 1 hour drive from the house of my youngest brother which is Angelo. He lives at Davao city few years ago along with his family. We've been planning that we will bring the kids at the Eco park of Mergrande. My brother had a 4 years old daughter which is Shang shang.

Hello Hivers and friends of Plantpowervegan. How are you enjoying the weather today. It has been very hot and has continued even therefore making us to need lots of water, drinks and salads to keep hydrated.

The little dog, with curious eyes and alert ears, enjoyed the walk and my sister's attention, although she got a bit uncomfortable at times. The path we took extended beyond our neighborhood, exploring less-trodden paths that I decided to show them for this occasion.

I serve asian noodle soups such as ramen and pho at local markets, and often sell out quickly. It is a sustainable market for local production for local consumption, and the customers are environmentally conscious, and I have quite a lot of vegetarian/vegan customers.

Since it's Veganuary this month, I'm going to introduce the recipe of the soup-base I also use at the market. It is a delicate and tender Asian soup with a light flavor of cinnamon and star anise.

They are so practical that, if you don't have a cell phone, tablet or maybe at times you don't want to be stressed with the cell phone where you also use it to write everything down in the notepad, Then you also have the option of making your comfortable notebooks for small meetings, take notes of the list of items you are going to buy at the supermarket, send a message with someone who says something like "I love you" using one of the leaves or however you want to use it to write, it is your decision the important thing is that you will have your nice notebook full of pages at hand.

The compound where I reside is a large one. It accommodates 10 apartments, each spacious and presentable enough to be proudly called home. When I came to pay the rent along with my roommate, the compound manager told me that the apartments were built for only Youth Corp members.

At my age I have never been in Zoo like the big ones where there are a lot of animals. Though of course I saw some but only those that we identify as domestic or usually in the countryside. That is why when our companions mentioned we will be dropping by at Taipei Zoo I was kind of excited!

January 7, 2024, it was my parent's 51st wedding anniversary, my siblings planned to have a small celebration for our parents. My mom like to go to Classic Savory but we don't have enough money to afford eating there. My brother Nan came up with a better plan. He will cook beef pares and my sister will cook mami. And we will go to Esplanade and eat there like a picnic, at night.

That was a good plan and I'm excited because I haven't been there. What's in there? I asked myself. I'm picturing in my head the Esplanade in Singapore. But I'm wrong. The Esplanade here in City of San Jose dek Monte, Bulacan is way more beautiful. The good thing is, it is free for all.

Hello everyone I'm off again from work due to the weather. Yesterday I enjoyed the day off as a storm missed us. Today I woke up to a text message saying the base is closed due to inclement weather. I looked out the window and seen why. Now this is a decent amount of snow but what is most dangerous about it is the roads contain sheets of ice below the snow. I'm not quite ready to go outside so these photo were taken through an inside window. Sorry for the dots on the photos, those are snow flakes on the outside of the window.

I love to invent a little in the kitchen based on simplicity and what I have available at the moment. To satisfy a craving in my own way, a sweet that is not so sweet and that has the exact amount of ingredients I want, or better yet for me, more than accuracy, touches of ingredients to my taste.

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.
