The Engaging 3rd Session of Cebu Writer's Guild

Good day. Hope everything is under control!. I am so grateful to introduce to you dear steemians our third session on Cebu Writer's Guild weekly meet-up.

I arrived at the venue at 9:15 am along with my fellow steemians @ryancalaunan and @carlitojoshua. Well, early bird catches the worm!. The venue was hosted by @indayclara and her generose uncle who aids us a pretty cool place. It is located at Soong Lapu lapu City actually it is a company for manufacturing furnitures.

Unfurtunately, when we got there, we're clueless where the meeting place is and got astrayed (T'was far though ahahah!). But we kept on asking until we found it.

And so we thought we are the first who arrived yet @morken did. We waited the other fellow steemians and voila! great news, few of them attended the session.
