Beyond the Anonymous Mask - Steemit's Untalented: Who Am I?

in #untalented7 years ago (edited)

This is a question that have been in my mind for the last couple of days after reading @surpassinggoogle post: Steemit's Untalented Is In Beta! Participate Freely Because Every Participant In This Contest Will Win Something. No Losers!

It really is a difficult question to answer for me, because there are many versions of who I am. In my own perspective and in other people's perspective. I always remember this line from the song Maskara by the Eraserheads

Kung may problema ka Magsuot ng maskara Takpan mo ang iyong mata Buong mundo'y mag-iiba

English Translation:
If you have problems, Wear a mask, Cover your eyes, The whole world will change.

My Doodle the Anonymous Mask

Upon registering on steemit I wanted to be anonymous. That makes me think that everyone has their own masks that they use in any situation. Especially online where you can be anonymous and pretend who you wanted to be. Act like you want to be, do something you want to do. So the only one who can really answer the question who am I is me. Masks off and this is who I am.

Here are some facts about me

1. I am a big fan of Bruce Lee


I admire his philosophy in everything, at the start of the day I always read a quote from him. I even have a secret note where I store my favorite quotes in. My favorite book he authored is Striking Thoughts it is a book full of his philosophy. Here is one of my favorite quotes.



2. I am a big Sports Fan


I am big sports fan, I love the sports football, and basketball. I even sacrifice sleep to watch the matches of my favorite teams. Manchester United in Football, and the Los Angeles Lakers in Basketball.


3. I love Anime


I also love anime, especially Naruto even though I have finished watching all of the episodes sometimes, I re watch some of the episodes again and again even though I know what will happen. It is really one of the animes where it teaches you a lot of things and lessons.



4. I love Statistics


You can see it on my posts on steemit most of my posts revolve around stats haha. Sometimes seeing numbers and analyzing them makes me happy even though I hate math lol. It made me able to create PH Steemit Stats where it is a databse of Steemit Users from the Philippines you can visit it here: https://ph-steemit-stats.herokuapp.com/

4. I love Adobo


My favorite food to eat is Adobo, I can eat it everyday without getting tired of eating the same food. Yum!


5. My favorite book: A Song of Ice and Fire


My favorite book is a song of ice and fire also known as Game of Thrones. I spent countless hours reading the wonderful book by George RR Martin even though it is not yet still completed. Hopefully the missing books will be released some time soon.

6. My favorite band: All Time Low


My favorite band of all time is All Time Low, I always listen to their music and songs when I work. On my phone 80% of the songs in there are songs of All Tine Low. Last August I was able to watch them live when they came to the Philippines.

7. I love to sing and know how to play the guitar


Many years ago I tried to learn how to play the guitar, with no one to teach me, I relied on the internet especially youtube. Practicing for many hours a day and watching tutorials I finally learned how. That is some achievement at least I know some chords and some strumming techniques here is a sample of me singing and playing the guitar.

8. My favorite game: DOTA2


I am a big fan of esports especially DOTA2(Defense of the Ancients) I always watch tournaments on twitch, and also attended my first LAN event here in the Philippines it was the Manila Masters last June. This is the longest game I played in my life having played it from DOTA1 in my High School when I was 13 years old and up until now I play from time to time.


9. I love Steemit


Lastly I love steemit it is the platform that I have been looking for quite a long time where I can express all of my ideas, beliefs, and thoughts. Meeting new people, learning something new, helping other people, there is a lot more you can do with it. Just open your eyes and see things in other perspectives. I can see infinite potential in what can be done with steemit. I can say that steemit, is making me grow as a person.

Lastly i dont believe anyone is untalented, everyone is unique and special in their own way. I know anyone has it. Steemit for me is the perfect platform to discover it. I myself am amazed to the things that I thought I couldn't do, and because of steemit I have accomplished those things. As @surpassinggoogle said anyone can offer something, anyone can add value. Sift the good from the bad, there is nothing to lose when trying just do it share your talents express yourselves. Take chances, life is so short to have regrets. Discover who you really are in this journey called life.

I love adobo as well!! One of my frustrations is to learn how to play guitar but I always forget the keys. 😂

Haha yes adobo is life i could eat it every meal and not get tired eating it. Well yes it is very difficult to learn it and it gets frustrating at the start. It took me countless hours with no one to teach me. I think it is much better if you have a teacher.

I like the way you explained every subject. Nice work👍

Thank you very much @artaddict . why dont you join the contest too? I know you can do something better. Cheers :)

You are not alone. A lot of people live behind a mask while some don't know who they are but I believe we all have a talent and we need to harness it. I enjoyed reading your post.

Thank you so much I must agree with that everyone has this masks pretending to be what they are not. Thank you very much for reading my post. Everyone is special and have their talents of their own.

Thank you very much for participating.
i will need to do a full-blown reading over time. i decided to just stop by a bit for now. The turn-out has kept growing (currently around 150 posts that i have to read and counting and support with vote but i submit all entries to some friends as well to support. The experience has been awesome. I will come back for a full blown comment to empower you when i fully read. This is beyond a contest, so there will be a ton of variations to participate in, for fun, community and ultimately to bring about success in every facet, steemit and beyond. The whole endeavor is a curriculum from "school of life", raw down-to-earth stuff, without books involved; stemming from unadulterated love for humans; humans.
