A happy and solemn 4th of July to you! Hope you will have a wonderful restful weekend especially those who are wanting to celebrate the Independence day of the United States out under the Summer sun.

It is so quick that we are already in the 2nd half of the year!

I am wondering is there anyone out there who are still hoping strong that at least the remaining 6 months of such iconic year will finally soar in victorious ever since we had such an unprecedented pandemic hitting almost every corner of the world.

There are still so much happening but isn’t this the time for many of us who dabbles in crypto to truly look at how we can truly use our crypto for a long haul that could be coming?

I digress.

Back to introducing the latest posts that caught my eye in the STEEM blockchain world!

If you have read my previous post emphasising on manual curation, with the recent famous Malaysian hashtag #kitajagakita, you would have noticed that I have decided to pick 4 posts that catches my attention that worth to look into read further for the community.

This is to keep the bought steem and delegations active in this account by charitable donors, that their Steem Power are not being wasted sitting idle.

But in order to have the best 100% VP rewards, this account doesn’t upvote much like other “community bots” do, since its power is low, it has to maintain its strength to reward hardworking content creators.

Therefore, this account has decided to upvote a handful of those with brief posting (and no picutures) 25% upvotes; while those with 1 (nice and clear enough) image there’s a 40% upvote; and the ones that has this account’s personal comment will receive 100% upvote.

After a really busy week and tons of things to handle, I can finally sit down and spare an hour just to read through and select the few posts that caught my attention, are usually below high pay-outs at the moment, this round some came from #teammalaysia, and #ocd to see if there’s any posts that celebrates achievement or a milestone crossed; in the light of 4th of July.

I hope in the future as this account grows stronger (hopefully) it can continue to give writers some hope that hey, their posts matters.
(Until something really inevitable happens)
So, in no particular order, these are the picks for today’s attention:

---

• My Own Cooked Sauted Chicken with Sweet Potato by @flordecar26

This dish from the Philippines although its images are not appealing, but I am pretty sure from the ingredients given, it will taste marvellous. Hopefully in the future she’ll have better lighting for her dishes, otherwise it is such a pity. Internet recipes always have that niche of plating just to get people’s attention. Much potential.

• Strawberry jam (in Ukranian) by @oleholya

It is most unfortunate that I don’t stay in a place where Strawberries are abundant; otherwise would definitely be interested in trying this out since my family loves jam.

• Drawing of baby Ocelot by @saleg25

I know drawing is not easy. I used to learn to sketch too, but not THIS good. It is not easy to capture the details and yet have your own flavour of colouring to bring your masterpiece alive.

• Reclaiming independence at the eve of independence day... by @philiprenelee

No one could have imagined how a senior could have felt to be “locked down” in the hospital for 26 days especially over an operation procedure that was performed during pandemic? This is definitely a day worth celebrating.

That’s all from here for now; simple and sweet, and I hope you will find their effort on this steem blockchain worth visiting.

A technology can come and go; but when a lifestyle is applied to it, it becomes a new revolution.
