SPENDING HBD WITH GOOD COMPANY: Shokin day 9 and getting my team badge

Weekends are for numerous activities. For some it's that period they get to rest from all the work they've done for the week, for others it's for cleaning activities, others still go to short trips, attend exhibitions or ceremonies on weekends. For the Shokin team, weekends are for spending HBD!!

SHOKIN DAY 9 called and we answered at Chicken Republic, a renowned restaurant for luscious meals and tasty chicken.

MY EXPERIENCE

Spending HBD have always been something I love to do no matter how tight my schedule is. You'll always make an exemption for that person or thing you really like, not so?

Having a good time with a wholesome company, getting to meet familiar faces you only get to see on HIVE, and of course getting a nice delicacy and paying with HBD were all part of the excitement in Shokin Day 9.

On arriving Chicken Republic, I was welcomed by the doorman who on his own part admires the Shokin team and was eager to learn more about the SpendHBD initiative. We exchanged contacts since he's on his duty post and wouldn't afford getting distracted at the moment. But I hope in few posts to come, it would include introducing him to the SpendHBD project.

On getting inside, I met @fokusnow, @Iamchimary, @ugoglory, @Nellybestie, @Bummblebee and @Bakinba already seated.

@Willy1481 heard about SpendHBD and was already eager to make his first transaction, and he did! That's one thing I love about this project, it's really cool and exciting. I can't wait for his introduction post, so we get to know more about him and what we would be expecting from him in the SpendHBD community and HIVE as a blockchain.

I'm delighted to meet @Zeal72 for the first time, but I was very much happy to meet @luchyl, I've learnt alot from her on HIVE. She might be surprised to see this. We didn't get a picture together but I'm hopeful we will come shokin day 10.

As I sat down, I was welcomed with smiles and my own copy of the Shokin team badge. It's like a tag identifying each and everyone one of us as members of the Shokin team. I love it!!

I didn't hesitate to place my order. I bought a plate of rice, two pieces of chicken and two bottles of soft drinks, one for me one for my friend. I took the food away with me so I didn't eat it at Chicken Republic.

The food costs me over 4HBD and the @distriator was very generous to give me 1.081HBD back after I scanned the QR invoice and claimed my discount.

People like @debbydaniels, @empressjay, @Sammyhive, @Saraliko and some others came later. I'm happy to see they had fun too. Maybe on day 10 we'll all get to sit together and engage more.

But I didn't forget to take pictures, because that's what stays to remind us of the memories and fun.

what did i do with my food?

Answer
On getting to my workplace, I devoured the sumptuous meal. it served as lunch!! What a lunch!!
I used the opportunity to tell people around about @spendHBD, and how they could get discounts from buying with Hive dollars, so they don't assume that I've made it. Lol..

IN SUMMARY

I LOVE SPENDHBD!! Shopping have always been fun and exciting since I started using my keychain to make payments. I'm optimistic the SpendHBD initiative still has more in store, and I commend them.

A special shoutout to @fokusnow, you're trying. I believe I still have a lot to learn and with you around, I'm not afraid.

I commend the Shokin team, Aba for making day 9 a success. We are already looking forward to day 10.

In all, I thank HIVE as a blockchain and invite all who hadn't given SpendHBD a try, to give it a shot, you'd be most delighted you did.

I'm brainbrian, and I love you all!!!
