Dubai Is Pretty Censored, Internet-Wise But Let's See How We Can Bring Some Steemit To Dubai, In The Next 6 Days!!!

Speaking of luxury, you will instantly think "yacht things", fur coats and fleets of skyscrapers named after you! Hahaha, no doubt, that's some luxury stuff right there and some will say, "Ah, that is a little extreme!" but then, i say: "Ah, just how much are you worth" and my dad will quickly say: "taste it first and see if you don't want it before you lazily settle for less".

In my years of doing "school of life"; here is my little conclusion: Pauperism or CEOism doesn't really matter; it's more about the quality of the human. I will always choose "CEOism" though; hahaha, i invented the word!

It's been a rough road!

Tomorrow, i will taste luxury! I will breathe or try to breathe for the first time in 31 years. My life has been tough and you can hastily say that i choose this path but that is not exactly the case! There is something called choice and while you may see retirement as an option, i see "choice"

the ability to choose between roads. 

Yes, one road is all rosey and stuff; the other road is patchy and dusty! I simply made choices!

I left my family years ago, to get buried deep in years of non-stop brainstorming; to bring about life-changing change for a family and community that loved me like crazy. These myriad spotted me as one, with the ability to carry hefty dreams and they left the dreaming to me. Now this is heavy load but "privileged load"!

I want to return from Wilderness to my people who are just in sights waiting to receive me, to crumble at their feet, from the heaviness of my newfound bag of treasure (refinements of my dreams) to pronounce "goodnews!" 

They have loved me; i love back!

You may not know the full extent of true love, till you have lived in the skirts of my household. Like i would say about "life"; love is something else!

This path has been a tough road; even air became "two gasps for one gulp!" 

Air became "luxury things". I got in a terrain, where air is scarce and in even in the face of this limited air, the stiffness by body accrued from years of non-stop rest, focus and heavy-dreams carrying stole my ability to accomplish real, deep, sweet, full breathes. 

o2, Oxygen, o2; I Have So Missed Y'all!

Tomorrow, i will be visiting Dubai to go see my sisters! Hahaha, my 3 sisters whom i have not seen in the last 5 years; i will see them and imma let myself breathe! 

There wasn't even time for preparation!

Jehovah arranged matters and they will all be visiting Dubai, so i fly their to see them. "Love in the air"; breathing will taste so good!

There are immigration issues though, when leaving the Philippines on a Filipino passport. According to many here, though you have your visa, return ticket and hotel reservation all set, there is still a chance that Philippines immigration may consider you ineligible for departing the country (it is called offloading), for reasons known to them; but we will go all the same! 

There aren't many resources online on this offloading issues, so i will document the entire experience with immigration in later steemit posts. 

The last resource on the issue was written in 2014, which was a long time ago!


Bringing Some Steem To Dubai

I don't know how much of steem is in Dubai, but i am definitely taking steem all the way there! Dubai has its internet pretty blocked, so let's see how steem can penetrate. Not all plans are set as to how i will spread the word about steemit but one thing is sure, "my sisters (3 solid women) will hear enough about steem"

I also have an old boss of mine there, who i promised a Ferrari; i will look for him and his crew, to tell him my plans for the Ferrari are intact and they are also bound to hear about steem.  

I will think my strategies when i am in there and this will depend alot, on how much of these websites open in Dubai. I am hopeful that i find ways; VPN etc to make steemit.com work there! 

Anyway, i will be relating the experience with this, in several steemit posts. 

Ofcourse, i will cover all the options and will have some feedback for @busy.org as well as they consistently try to bring the power of the steem blockchain to the internet terrains of China. 

Will see how it goes with some of the other interfaces to steem, like chainbb, streemian, steemd etc. Ultimately, it is essential to know these things as "knowledge is power!"

Back in the Friendster days, there was also a time when it got blocked, then eventually unblocked.

Hey @surpassinggoogle you may want to have a side strip to Abu dhabi whilst you are here... don't forget to visit Ferrari World and The Grand Mosque. Worth your time. 😉

Pass me a message in discord should you need any tiny bits of help. 😊

No one must ever be Censored !

Dubai is truly an awesome place!! Accommodation is expensive though.

Enjoy your trip to Dubai! I hope you come back with some really cool stories and pictures.

Have a safe trip @surpassinggoogle!
