My Steem Journey - Update 09

Hi everyone, it's time for another update again on my STEEMJOURNEY. While there is not much too many significant things that happened, there are at least two things that I want to share in this post - the Steem Philippines community and my UFM tokens lotto contest. In the past few days, I have been too pre-occupied with my day job and also have another work on the side, plus putting a bit of time restoring my garden just in time before the spring weather fully takes over. With Steem being down on the 1st of September, I wasn't able to join (since there was no post created for the contest) the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge organized by
@czechglobalhosts. Hopefully I can join the contest tomorrow when a new post is created for Australia/New Zealand.

I wrote the other day when I joined Steem Philippines Facebook group co-founded by @chrisrice. It is probably the best Steem group I joined in Facebook. Everyone is friendly, accommodating, and very supportive. They will entertain your questions and answer them to the best of their knowledge.

Still, my SBI lotto contest does not have any winner yet. The prizes have been rolled over for several times already. My latest post has a prize pool total of 24 SBI shares. With a number of decent staked tokens in the UPFUNDME tribe, I also decided to start another series of lotto contest with UFM tokens to be given as prizes. You can head on to my maiden lotto post in the series to check the mechanics (as it has slight differences to my SBI lotto contest) and put your own entries too.

I also like to take this opportunity to request everyone to support my sister's account @fifay. She's been into social media for several years now but it's only this later part of last month that she started using Steem. It's been a learning curve but I hope she eventually figures out how to navigate the world of Steem. I believe she will go a long long way in her own Steem journey. Even her first video post doing a cover of Taylor Swift's Cruel Summer was upvoted by @curie which I think made it into Steempeak's front page, which eventually earned hundreds of upvotes.

With regard to my tokens, I will not post ALL the tokens I have in Steem Engine but only those from tribes that I usually post my content into. Here are my current stats.
