Oh! what a day!!
Just like other fun filled Shokin days, today wasn't left out, infact today was one of a kind. At last!! I got to SpendHBD on chicken!! The Shokin team had been opportune to visit two SpendHBD listed eateries (Classic Kitchen and La fresh food n' Bakery) before today. Sadly, I missed out.
I was determined to make it to Shokin day7 since it had been announced that another eatery had been listed and would be used for the team's next SpendHBD experience.
CHICKEN REPUBLIC, one of the best in town was listed!! I was happy to hear that. I couldn't wait! I was happy for several reasons but I'll like to share one. Some years back, I visited Chicken Republic to have a proper meal one sunny afternoon. I was very famished!! I had a little cash on me and my phone to make a quick transfer from my mobile app. On entering the fast food, I was told they don't accept transfers and since I wasn't with my Debit card, I had to make do with the little cash I had with me. I bought snacks and a bottle of soft drinks. I left feeling very disappointed. I made up my mind never to visit any of their branches ever again. But, as soon as I heard about this progress on their part to become a SpendHBD listed Business, I was convinced they'd be seeing me again, and again.
So today, I left with @saraliko, my very good friend who on his own part was longing for the sumptuous rice and chicken too. I've never seen anyone who loves food more than @saraliko. On arrival, we met other friends who were eager to spend HBD for breakfast.
So after sitting for a little while and admiring the serene environment, I decided to place an order. I bought Rice and Chicken with a coleslaw and soft drink to compliment it. it was worth about $4.033 in HBD. I paid with HBD from my HIVE keychain.
See the video of me paying with HBD with my keychain, scanning the QR code. I didn't forget to claim my discount from #thedistriator.

I was happy to see a lot of people, about 25 of us present for today's Shokin. Amongst them all were @Fokusnow, my oga. @Empressjay my very own person, @ugoglory and @nellybestie my sisters from another mother, @bakinba, @mayorboo, @Uzoma24, @amankalu2, @ijebest and many others.
I was very delighted to see my sister @debbydaniels, who came with my nephews and niece. I love those children!! I didn't like the fact that they had to short my food though, hahahaha..., well, it's good to share, that's one message @thedistriator is trying to pass afterall. @ngobaby didn't come, I know there must be a very tangible reason why, because from my observation she loves food very much, but she loves the spendHBD intiative more.
Today was fun, we had breakfast together, discussed and got to know each other more. I always long for days like these where you get to leave some of the problems you're facing behind and live life. Life is unpredictable, it is like 'a mist that appears today, and disappears tomorrow', so making each moment we have to stay in this world count matters the most. We took some photos....
IN CONCLUSION
We are pushing into making our community a place where HBD will be recognized and accepted as a means of payment for goods and services. The spendHBD initiative is not only about spending, it brings us together as a unit, as people with thesame objective, working together as a team to achieve a goal. It fosters cooperation. What will I say and leave the other? We are out, we are eager!!!
We will continue to support every effort put together by SpendHBD. And the shokin team will keep spending HBD and inviting many others to do likewise. Can't wait for day8.
I commend the SpendHBD project and HIVE in general. With love, Brainbrian.
It's was fun experiencing the Shokin Day 7 with you all. More awesome moments ahead!

So you're accusing @saraliko to be a foodie right? See, your own food exceed his. Hahahaha, next time, prove it by transferring your food to me. I bet you

saturating our cities and towns with the acceptance of our own system of payment...HBD.
I love the way you support the SpendHBD project. We'll all keep pushing for sure...

Another fun day, happy memories created. It's was nice to see you could join us, although you ran off before the party ended but it was great all the same. We look forward to more chopping and shopping to come.
I had to go, but my heart stayed with you guys... Let's keep going, let's make SpendHBD a talk of the community....
