Attending Teenvestors's Successful First Open Discussion | Cebu Community

I was having my vacation last saturday, when the co-leaders of the @steemph.cebu announced that we will be having an Open Discussion in Teenvestors Discord Channel on 9pm (that day). I was worried for I am not sure if I can participate the said event. Inspite of being in Dalaguete province; Staying the night in the hill; Slowness of the cignal, I managed to join the event.

With the aim of continual development and with strengthening our unity as Cebuanos @jassennessaj approached @morken through personal message if he can possibly initiate an Open Discussion in the said channel.

Since I am still a newbie and doesn't have the enough knowledge to join the discussions. I was just sitting, listening to the other member's discussion and just asking questions in things that I haven't properly understand.

The Open Discussion adjourned at around 12:15 am of April 15, 2018.

Project Initiation

---

Let us all remember that Teenvestors is not built to mainly promote our posts. This is also one way of connecting to OUR COMMUNITY. We want our Discord Channel as lively as possible that is the reason why we have initiated this project.

In addition, we also want to help each Cebuano Steemians as much as we can do. Since, we are still drafting our possible project Weekly Small Team/Group Meet-up, @jassennessaj initiates this one as premiere activity.

With the establishment of this activity and of more activities, we are hoping to come up with a sustainable and firm Cebu Steemit Community.

Everyone is invited to participate in the upcoming STEEMSUMMIT which will be held on April 22, 2018, Sunday at ASPACE CEBU Crossroads, Cebu City from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. This event aims to further the reach of the platform by spreading it to more people. In addition, it will also showcase the diversity of Cebuano talents, promote Steemit to non-Steemians, instil in Steemians a deeper sense of community, and solidify the presence of the Cebuano community in Steemit.

In behalf of Cebu Community, I am forever grateful of the following leaders, @honeyletsgo, @legendarryll @thegaillery, @ybanezkim26 who have spent so much time, effort, money, emotions, intelligence (brain cells) for this to come into fruition.

To know more about the event, please feel free to follow @steemsummit.

Words of Gratitude

---

I would like to thank the co-leaders of the Teenvestors who initiate the activity. To the other participants who have shared their experiences, advices and opinions. I have gained more knowledge about here in steemit. It was fun being with other Cebu steemians; @jassennessaj, @ybanezkim26, @morkens and @chuuuckie.

It was tough and intense though because that day (Sunday April 15) is the schedule of our trek to Osmeña Peak. I slept 12:30 am and woke up 2:45 am (same day). So I thank myself as well for having enough strength to attend, participate and manage my time inspite of many reasons.

To other Cebuano Steemians who were not able to catch up with the First Open Discussion, you are still invited to join our Second Open Discussion. I hope you are able to join the Second Open Discussion soonest, it's really fun to be with other steemians in the community. You can also learn more things and ask some questions.

Till next time,
