# Hi,

First and for most I would like to congratulation @steemterminal has been supported by our very own supportive witness @coff33a, what a wonderful way, to help and support new Steemians as they start their journey on the blockchain. Thank you so much @coffe33a we appreciate your good effort to support the community especially @steemterminal. 

So, back to the topic. Why I joined The Steem Blockchain actually I am not a big fan of what they called social media. But when my friend @vhinz88 which is he is the first steemians here in our place and so on their brother & sister and also their relatives. @vhinz88 is my officemate so he offered me to join the platform, he said to me you want an extra income? I said yes but how? and that's the time he refers to join the steemit.com which is my first time engaging in social media. 

He explained to me how it works on the platform. So after the day, the day that he convinced me to join I sign up the platform. He said after you signup the platform 3 to 5 working days for the approval. By the way, @vhinz88 refer me to the platform last 2016 and after I year I decided to join haha what a long decide decision to join the blockchain. 

After 3 to 5 working days and I check my email still no a response to the team or to the platform I sign up December 10, 2017. So I ask @vhinz88 why me still not approve to the steem blockchain? he said sign up again and wait that is life sometimes luck bad. And I sign up again If I am not wrong I sign up again on December 19, 2017, and after 3 days wot! I got an email says **YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN APPROVED!**

And that's the time I started knowing the platform and start asking a question about the chain. My friend asks me how All you need to do is to share your thoughts on the platform but not like your thought we can do photography, quotes, motivation, and many more as much as you like. 

So I start my first post using the tag #introduceyourself which is is the first step we engage on the platform. But when I start engaging I am still confused about why they give money by sharing our thoughts. I always ask myself self that time what if they use my personality something like that, you know the Internet is the worse and dangerous world. But I trust my friend so I keep on steeming and sharing thoughts.

Until I learn step by step how to engage steem. Steemit.com is a unique platform that others when we can learn and not just learn but we can earn. I remember my first payouts last December 2018 of January If I am not wrong. I set my mine maybe I try to payout for a confirmation on the platform if not a scam. But before the payout, I ask my friend how so he ask me to make an account in brittrex and after you verified sign up again to coins.ph. And wot! another two platforms study how to use and how to trade STEEM, SBD, BTC what so ever.  

I ask my self I thought the only steemit is enough but it wasn't, so I starting knowing how to trade my earnings to my bittrex account. Like the first time I never do it my self without my friend haha I need guidance for a newbie how to trade my earning to PESO. And so on I am learning how to trade cryptocurrency after all the transaction I make this little summary because I think  I am too long to my words haha. I am happy because of my first earnings on my first week engaging on steem I earned 10 SBD. And that time I am a big no how to use SBD or the price of it. So my friend piloting my first earnings. I was shocked because they pay me 5,000 PESO I am so happy that day and that is the time I started to stand my own feet and learn my own ways and techniques.

But there is a time that I want to leave the steem because of personal needs. I was in-active for almost a year. If I am not wrong after two months of my first payout I stop steeming because of a risk decision in real life. And this is my worse dislike on steem after two months of engaging I was bored because I keep on posting sharing, making a contest, entering a contest but still not enough because of low earnings. I don't know why but I tried to double my earnings in the real world and the world of crypto, but the crypto world is not enough. I know that steemit income is unreliable so I stop engaging and applying work to survive.

But I never stop thinking why I should be left the crypto world  I always think that time and I ask my self maybe this is one of my challenges that came to my life. After I hired in our municipality this year I was starting to post and start making my journey on steemit.com. I started making my first post-August 2019 until now I recover everything that I missed in the platform and I started knowing and Adopting the new ecosystem on steemit.com

Second I come back to engage the discord server and I ask for sorry for what happened to my account last year is not happen this year and so fort. Thank you so many guys after all that I've done all of you here still supporting me especially @plankton, @steemterminal @teampossible and more servers I engage thank you so much for the wonderful support. 

I would like to thank @mrnightmare89 to encourage me, reminds me to come back to the steem. Thank you, my friend, without you I am left forever thank you for always reminds me. And here I am now you convince me to go back steeming and I started my plan to boost my account as soon as I can to help the small fish especially to the community. I am thankful because I mate a lot of good people here after a long way in-active on steem. Thank you very much @johndoer123, @cicisaja, @simplymike, @brittandjosie, @wesphilbin, @mermaidvampire the one who encouraged me to stay, @thekittygirl, @xcountytravelers, @cadawg, @definethedollars, @gerber, @tggr, @fredkese, @benedict08, @olivia08, @dswigle, @tattoodjay, @atongis, @otom, @steem-ph and TO ALL FILIPINO steemians thank you so much for the wonderful support.
