<p><strong>This is one of many reasons why i am participating in the '#roadtosteemfest' contest sponsored by '@blocktrades &amp; @anomadsoul' title; </strong><em><strong>'Why I Want To Go To SteemFest. Help Fund My Trip'.&nbsp;</strong></em></p>
<p>Steem is special to me. I have been on it, stayed on it, seen its stories and histories and<em> 'i am surpassing google with steem'.</em></p>
<p>I have been on steem for more than 3-years. My affection towards steem is the same as it was <a href="https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@surpassinggoogle/while-novice-i-used-the-introduceyourself-tag-without-introducing-myself-forgive-me-this-is-my-introduction"><em>on the first day</em></a>; my affection towards steem is ginormous!</p>
<p>I have seen what steem represents, where it can head and how i can help and i have become also about these things.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Among other amazing things, to me, steem constituted <em>'a CCTV in the truest state of the world'</em> and upon it, i accomplished my 'most learning'. I sat on it and paid attention to 'life and humans', evolving the 'vision within the dream <em>(surpassing google)</em>' into levels of spanlessness</p>
<p>I have seen many of steem's forks. I have been present its 'ups and downs'. I have been a part of steem. <a href="https://ulogs.org/@surpassinggoogle/whatsup-asks-can-we-use-the-steem-blockchain-directly-to-onboard-mainstream-users-to-crypto-my-answers-as-a-legit-illiterate"><em>I really love steem</em></a>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>From a lowly writer, i progressed towards<em> starting the 'steemgigs' witness</em>, offering a 'full public RPC node' to steem <em>(in the past)</em>, overseeing many communities and emanating a number of 'down-to-earth innovations', some of which are <strong>enlisted below:</strong></p>
<ul>
  <li>marlians.com (SCOT-tribe)</li>
  <li>ulogs.org</li>
  <li>steemgigs.org</li>
  <li>teardrops.network</li>
  <li>macrohard.pro</li>
  <li>legit-illiteracy (a school that every(any)one can school in)</li>
</ul>
<p>Yes, before i found steem, i knew nothing about the cryptosphere, tokeneconomics or technology. Till date, i am a 'legit-illiterate'.</p>
<p>One of my down-to-earth innovations, '#ulog', has been used so far by '5700 steemians'. <a href="https://www.marlians.com/ulog/@quochuy/ulog-weekly-stats-2019-08-20"><em>See stats!&nbsp;</em></a></p>
<p>Thus, one other valuable reason behind my desire to attend 'STEEMFEST4' is to expand my learning, make connections that can enable my steem-based projects to attain 'full-realization' and to create awareness to the importance of emanating down-to-earth innovations on the steem blockchain.</p>
<p>Many STEEMFEST(s) have gone by me! I didn't attempt to attend SF1 because i was new to steem at the time. I had relished the opportunity of attending SF2 but notice of its location deterred me a bit as i was worried about a visa-denial and overall, i wasn't very-ready at the time.</p>
<p>When i eventually attempted to attend at SF3, i also got news that my mum was dying. After being away from her for 5 years and alone in the Philippines, with the sole intention of bring her <em>'her first whisper of good news'</em>, i got news that she had Leukemia. <em>(We eventually saw for 16-days only and she passed).</em></p>
<p>If i had succeeded in going to STEEMFEST3, among other things, it would have constituted a <em>'small healing'</em> but i was denied a visa. After a 30-mins interview, the woman said 'NO'.</p>
<p>Before then i had applied to attend a STEEM-event in USA and i was denied a visa too.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, <strong>STEEMFEST is in SE-Asia</strong>, nearby and visa-free; should i miss it too? If i attended this time, it will be my <em>'very first rest in life'</em>. Yes, i haven't slept in years!</p>
<p>Besides, all the many steem-related things that i do, i stay at home now with my dad '24/7', who is ill. I live in the Philippines but i rarely see sunlight.</p>
<p>Upon his relocation here, to live with me in the Philippines <em>(after my mum died)</em>, he arrived with many illnesses. Shatters me! It shatters me each day as i watch him suffer.</p>
<p><em>On the day that i heard that STEEMFEST4 was in Thailand, i gave way to un-fell tears.</em> The news was some sort of 'breakthrough' on its own. Months before this venue was established, i had reached out to the STEEMFEST-operations via a chat to push for SF4 to come to the Philippines. Thailand thus, is a win!</p>
<p><em>This is a very valuable chance to be at</em> <em>STEEMFEST4 and one more reason that i want to go to STEEMFEST</em>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Being in STEEMFEST4 will help me heal a bit. I have had excruciating pains 'all body long' for years now, lost all ability to relax and i haven't slept for three years. In Thailand, i will seek my <em>'first two weeks of rest'</em>.</p>
<p><strong>There is more....</strong></p>
<p>There are many steemians that i long to see. Besides Ned himself <em>(if he is present)</em>, i will love to meet with a lenghty list of steemians, many of whom i have interacted with over the course of my steemit journey, something that would have been so far-fetched assuming STEEMFEST4 was to be in Europe etc and involving of a visa-application.&nbsp;</p>
<p>All this aside, here is why you may want to help fund my trip...</p>
<p>My first power-down on steem came after more than 2 years of being on steem. It was depressing. Steem wasn't money to me. It represented way more!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Since then my 'STEEM' has exhausted very rapidly. Besides, all the expenses for servers, the 'steemgigs' witness, projects-development, sustenance etc, there has been the 'daily-medicine expenses for my dad and other hospital expenses' and coupled with 'low steem price', my 'valued steem' exhausts so rapidly.</p>
<blockquote>My @surpassinggoogle account now has a 'minnow' status.</blockquote>
<p>My expenses will not abate any time soon and the date for STEEMFEST4 is still faraway. Recently, i started the marlians.com SCOT-tribe and my expenses related to 'steem growth' continues. <em>(Speaking of 'steem growth', that is one major paradigm of all my aforementioned projects)</em>.</p>
<p>There is no doubt that regardless of a 'financial disability', i will push hard to make it to STEEMFEST4 and 'not miss this valuable chance', especially considering that i am among the speakers and that it is in THAILAND but to increase my chances of being present at the event, i have decided to participate in this '#roadtosteemfest' contests.</p>
<p>I am 'your boy Terry and i have highlighted some of the reasons behind 'why I want to go to SteemFest4 and why you may want to support the me'.</p>
