Part time bikini model and newcomer to Hive, Ana Maria Batista from the Canary Islands started posting on Hive last week and has been amazed on the amount of upvotes and well wishing comments she has received from the Hive community. Her post entitled "Tour Around Las Palmas" has now received 967 upvotes and 345 comments. She was so taken aback by the level of support than she is even thinking she has a hidden talent for blogging. She is now even thinking of leaving her job as a bikini model and just concentrating on blogging full time.

"Messages of support came from all around the world within 5 minutes of posting," claims Ana Maria.
"Some of the Hive community have even offered flights for me to go and tour their homeland and post about their cities."
"They will even put me up in their apartments and even invited me to something called Hivefest"
"People are just so nice to me on Hive" claimed tanned size 8, 36FF Ana Maria. My English is still very limited but this community has given me the confidence to post regularly and improve my English.
Her second post entitled "The Birdie Have A Roundy Head" again received a huge response with 540 upvotes and 200 comments making Ana Maria around $340 worth in rewards. In this post Ana Maria shows off her canary (The Bird that is) and describes the intricacies of the shape of his cranium. Ana poses with her canary in the post and nestles him against her bosom in a beautiful photo of a woman with her pet.
"Her English might not be the best but the photos are something else!!" claimed one excited Hive male community member.

Meanwhile another newcomer to Hive Abubakar Zawal, a 21 year old student from Lagos created a post "Welcome to My City. Pulchritudinous yet Melancholy" in which Abubakar posts photos and a detailed description of the various sights in his city has received no upvotes whatsoever. Not only that but it even got downvoted by @gangstalking so Abubakar is on $0.00 for his post.
"I don't understand," said Abubakar.
"I have sourced all the images myself and it took me a week to create this post. Trying to come up with the appropriate wording and blending two different themes to make one post was difficult." "English literature maybe is the wrong subject for me." "The only comment I get is some gang stalking guy bleating on about voice to skull and neuro monitoring." "I was actually happy to get a comment from anyone because it was the only way I knew my post was seen by someone."
Abubakar who studies Advanced English at the University of Lagos uses complex English grammatical language to capture the mood in his posts such as onomatopoeia and cacophony. He is now posting his award winning poetry with iambic pentameter and is said to be saddened that his first five posts received no upvotes whatsoever.

"I do everything that Hive Community ask me to do but I guess I have to do better." claimed Abubakar.
"One of my poems that was critically acclaimed in Nigeria only received a 3 cent upvote."
"One comment on the poetry post claimed that the poem was too good to be mine and he thought I was plagiarizing so he was going to contact cheetah whoever he is."
'Another comment just said
"You are a prick!"
Meanwhile Ana Maria's third post. "A Night Out With Mi Amour" in which Ana describes a night out with her husband Pablo has only received 5 upvotes and 1 comment so far today which has taken Ana Maria a bit by surprise.
"It is very strange that this post has got less likes than the first two but I did get 2 female Hive members commenting on my post for the first time and they are asking me to join their Ladies of Hive Community which is nice."
"I preferred the upvotes though".
Ana Maria's husband looks on supportingly and is well aware of what is really happening on Hive as he has been putting out these fires since they first met. It was him that prompted Ana Maria to do a post on the night out in the first place knowing the consequences.
"It comes with the territory of being married to a bikini model," smiles Pablo Blanco.
"She will work the Hive thing out soon enough" said Pablo who is a catch in his own right.
"But if she thinks she is going to travel to Europe to stay in some of these crypto nerds apartments then she has another thing coming!!"
The 945 upvoters and 345 commenters declined to comment on the story.
