Steem fam!
This post is going to be a bit l-o-n-g as it's meant to be my last post about the SF for the year (Not a promise). It will be the combinations of the reasons why - why not, my #roadtosteemfest, my thanks to a lot of you who have been supporting me and the giveaway.
Oh! It's been a long way since my first post with the tag #roadtosteemfest , the project come up by 
Hive account@anomadsoul. Yes, I know one of a few rules is to write it only if you're going for sure. I was 100% sooooo going and I was so excited. Things came up and turned out it's not the best situation for me to attend this year so, lo siento amigo! never meant to ruin the tag, really!
The reason why not SF3
I'm now 98% not going as I am literally not able to (the other 2 % is a daydream luck)..
A lot of you know I so want to but as much as I want to, the financial situation this year is not the best. I have been trying quite a bit by entering some contests : Steem Fest Dream, Openmic x Blocktrades, Smooth, Bitshares, Scorum, Pharesim and also contacting 
Hive account@roelandp if there's any volunteer spots.
Totally no luck with the ticket though, 
Hive account@pharesim's so dang kind and added a second price of 100 Steem for 15 participants for the contest. I was lucky enough to be one of them.
㋡ 100 GIVEAWAY
The 100 STEEM was meant to be for the fest (I know, he said 'No String attached' but..). As I decided not to go this year, I think this would probably helps someone who's in need more than I am.
50 STEEM will go to 2 people. I know, somehow it doesn't sound so much but I do believe that every bit helps! This would totally buy you a few beers when you're there or a few nights of accommodation (You could find as cheap as $7 a night in a hostel dorm in Krakow :O). I decided to give away some STEEM as I have been seeing, some of you are also not in a good financial situation but still making your way to the fest so..
Name yourself or someone you know who is..
- Going to SF3 for sure!
- As poor as I am but still going! LOL (Joke! but yeah, really..)
That's it really! :) and no, don't thank me, thank Hive account@pharesim! If he hadn't given me the amount, I wouldn't dare giving 100 STEEM either :D
㋡ THANK TO YOU FAM!
Oh! I would also love to use this opportunity (this post) to thank some of you who supported me for the contest held by 
Hive account@blocktrades and 
Hive account@openmic. That was a #deep one. I hadn't really experienced a 1000+ comment post myself till that one. #intense ! First of all, gotta give 
Hive account@luzcypher and Hive account@anomadsoul for holding the fun & creative contest. Not just smiles and laughters, it put the happy tear on my face, really!
Now it's time to get a bit cheesy
One of the contest rules was to ask my Steem friends to come comment on my comment. I mean, I could go and ask them to come help but really couldn't tell them what to write..
I hadn't really realised how deep I had been putting myself into this Steem Community and had been connecting with many people until this contest held. I hadn't expected people would write a long paragraph to support and show some love to this person.. you have no idea how much I appreciate you all! THANK YOU! ❤
I will take time and write back to all. Some might be longer / shorter than others but you know, each relationship is never the same.

 Hive account@adetorrent - I really didn't expect that nice long paragraph and didn't really expect to cry over the read (while I was eating noodle soup out of a pink bowl) either. You know you're one of the peeps I'm sooooo comfortable talking with on the blockchain about pretty much everything (Yes, ASMR and all LOLOL). I was sad you suddenly stopped using discord. I got much more productive just like you said it would but I miss you still! Oh! You're my Man Crush Monday #1 and I still couldn't find the second one!
 Hive account@captainbob Thanks a lot for showing me some support. You're one of those I respect a lot (more like an older brother.) Thanks for watching my one of my first few dumb livestreams (the Vietnamese coffee one LOL - otherwise I would be dang lonely LOL) and also for not mind (or you do?) teaching me some of the English words when I need help :)
 Hive account@alphasteem Oh my, Lydia!!!! Hahhaa I could write a page about you! Hahaha. Interesting life you got. I'm glad we met in NYC but I regret we didn't hang out more and that I didn't know you more at the time. I so wanna meet you again or do a collab together <3 <3
 Hive account@alexabsolute I remember first time I watched your vid was when you mentioned me in a post. Also, how kind you did some research when I wanted to buy that Crane M! LOL I sold it btw. I couldn't be bothered carrying heavy stuff around. I weigh 90lb! haha. I am so down to meet and hope you make it to Thailand soon as you've never been so!
 Hive account@tibfox Well, we hadn't really connected much personally until lately but I do appreciate you took time and wrote a few kind words.
 Hive account@elsiekjay I can see we have something in common. We're a hustlers! haha but I'm not as a good (news) reporter like you (in  Hive account@harshilpatel's vid :D). Glad to see you around everywhere and glad to have you in DD fam!
 Hive account@artakush Smoke a bit less Art. I don't understand what do you say most of the time. phych! (Nah, but really LOL)
 Hive account@sergiomendes You're one of those who supported me early on when I started vlogging on  Hive account@dtube and gave me so much more of confidense. I love watching your videos too and it just put smile on my face already even some of those will be talking vids. You have that special vibes coming out of you! :D
 Hive account@camuel Cammmm! Thanks for the support and thanks for watching my vids also. You have no idea how glad I was when you said in one of the comments when  Hive account@dnews did a review on my videos and you said you watched them regularly and even be able to talk about them like you really really watched them. I sooo appreciate! I do love your music (No, I haven't been watching all but I have watched some.) I still wanna do a collab hahaha.
 Hive account@neopch Uh oh! Neo! hahaha I stopped and think a bit when I scrolled down and sae your name's up next :D There's this funny vibes between us. Though, you're one of those fastest crypto dudes with all the news and stuffs and a real hustler for sure. I'd love to meet you in person one day. I really do!
 Hive account@slayerkm I didn't known you're one of those who's so passionate about STEEM and now I do! Glad we have a chance to connect personally lately.

I was not comfortable to go join you guys there though, I'm trying not to mix up work and personal relationship. especially, you , Hive account@jimmylin You're one of those I feel so comfortable talking with on the platform and I don't want the friendship will be gone just because you moved. Just wanna tell you 'We're still friends! <3 and I would still love to meet up again if we ever come across somehow. Canada, Thailand, Taiwan, California.. you name it! :) ' and  Hive account@realseb  Hive account@ericwilson we had met in person but haven't talked personally much but thanks for showing your support here.

 Hive account@patrickulrich We have met at the meetup but now it's a bit bitter sweet so I put you here instead LOL. Thank you so so so much for writing all those kind words. You have no idea how much it means to me and yes, your sentences made me cry for the first time of that day. I so love what you're doing here on the platform. A lot of your content are so useful and you know what, if one day you want to become a witness (as I really think you could totally be one), you got my support Patrick!
 Hive account@romafedorov So close yet so far! It's just here in Thailand but so many kilometers to go meet! LOLOL I am a fan of your vlogs though so keep it up good work and I will fly to meet you one day!
 Hive account@dj123 Oh! Thanks for showing some support. I don't really put so much work as a comedian at all since I told you, I maybe not that funny! LOLOL Though, I can tell you really love the COM community and I hope it grows even bigger and more successful than you want it to be. :)
 Hive account@benfreed I have no idea how could you become one of the regular audience. I want to let you know that I so appreciate your support. All the reads, views, comments. Thank you Ben (and your daughter!) :D

 Hive account@chiama I remember first time was when I saw your post when I was curating for esteem and yes, you're so beautiful that I had to go talk to Ade that 'Hey, this person is so beautiful' Yes! I did! I know, I'm so weird and I didn't even know why I did it LOLOL Thanks for the support girl <3
 Hive account@llfarms Justine, to be honest here, I hadn't known you personally at all and knew you first time just from this contest. I love how smart you are when you talked about things. A bit scary also when you talked about you being a curator and you know how to spy well (or something like that - my English sucks LOL). I so wanna meet and learn from you (I do!). Hope we meet somehow somewhere! :)
