STEEMPH'S ENGAGEMENT - A MEMORY TO BEHOLD!

Hi Steemians!

I AM LATE. WILL I STILL ATTEND?

These words were bugging in my head when I finished my prior appointment. I have been awake for almost 24 hours already. However, the moment I was in the streets I booked a car going to the venue. Reflexes? I don't know either.

I was shy because I won't be able to witness the speakers Hive account@luvabi and Hive account@dreamily share the platform and the crypto-currency world to the students. Good thing Hive account@grazz and Hive account@itsmechille are both pushing me to come since Hive account@surpassinggoogle just actually arrived to attend. So off I went.

...and it was worth it...

When I arrived, I was immediately introduced by Grazz to the members. We exchanged pleasantries and also got to know Hive account@wanderlass, Hive account@monkeypattycake, Hive account@stuckinacup, Hive account@greymonolith, Hive account@wilbejel Hive account@luvabi, Hive account@rafasays, Hive account@dreamiely and Hive account@tpkidkai. I then knew the beings behind the usernames. I was ecstatic.

I then saw students signing up and asking questions. Since I was late, it was already dusk. We then went outside and I saw the students from my alma mater engaging in some sort of a competition. I then knew that the prize money came from Steemph.

I again was filled with awe.

"So this is how we engage with the community." - I told myself.

If my energy and attention is a battery bar, I was left with 10% so I focused on that energy to absorb as much information as I can and observe.

...nightfall came...

We then decided to have dinner at a nearby restaurant. While walking, knowledge was already spouting out. Hive account@luvabi was talking about past experiences with the community. Hive account@tpkidkai was discussing about steemcleaners. I am happy I am learning.

...at the restaurant...

After we ordered, we again engaged in chitchats. I was beginning to feel my body to surrender yet I thrived to be awake. I was hungry for experience and knowledge. It kept me going.

steemitmanila meets steemph

The group of Hive account@janicehung, Hive account@siningniviola and Hive account@princesslilo came to meet us. During and after dinner, they were talking about Udefend, steemph's advocacy, missions and visions. It was a fruitful conversation and exchange of ideas. Hive account@itsmechille and Hive account@surpassinggoogle were also busy discussing stuff but from time to time, Terry would discuss in the crowd. The conversations were extensive and vast. I was keen on listening and observing.

Fortunately, even as a celebrity, we were not stopped in taking a picture with Janice. Here's mine. She is kind and quite approachable.

Of course, I cannot go home without taking a picture with the man himself, Terry.

So if you want to ask what happened on the early part of the event, unfortunately, I won't know. Kindly check Hive account@luvabi's,Hive account@tpkidkai's, Hive account@wilbejel's and Hive account@itsmechille's articles. You can also check Hive account@dreamily's if you wish to have it in the local language. If on the latter part, you can ask me. LOL.

The experience was memorable and I am definitely looking forward for the next meetup specially if the rendezvous is accessible.
