On your mark Dreemers!!. Today marked the 5th day of this challenge and I never thought I would enjoy it. All thanks to @dreemport and @ecency for this awesome and fun challenge.
Have you ported well with your partners at Ecency? I did, and I know you guys had fun too this past week with Dreemport and Ecency. With no sugar coating, Dreemport is really one of the reasons why I am enjoying this platform. A never-ending challenge means never-ending fun. The rewards don't matter but the fun of joining and meeting new people.
Challenges became more fun with Ecency. Because why not? Our points kept growing day by day through the help of this challenge and they will continue to grow as we enjoyed using this front-end.
Today's points
Honestly? I didn't give value to Ecency Points back when I was just starting here. I don't even know its usage until I clicked my points and found out that it's actually useful in our blogging. Such usages include:
- Boosting and Promoting Posts
- Give as Gifts to others
Ecency Points as a gift is such a unique one and easier to send 😁. You can even attach some message to it for the receiver. Just like this one sent by Dreemsteem.
Thank you Dreemie 🥰

I've been using Ecency in posting, commenting, as well as managing my wallet as I find it convenient. Additionally, I'm using this front-end in doing other transactions such as:
- Powering Up
- Delegating
- Transfering Hive tokens
- Trading Hive and HBD
And more.
I didn't explore other front-ends though if these actions can be taken there, but Ecency has them all and I am comfortable using it.
Using Ecency became more fun in collaboration with Dreemport. New Dreemers was born, and that includes the Team IntroArt

Are you curious about who this teammate is?
Ready go!! And hit these links:
Janey At Ecency
The getting-to-know challenge on the first day was fun and I learned that we have a lot in common. The first two are the main reasons why I created this name, IntroArt. It's short for Introvert Art.
We both are introverts who love art. He likes graphic designing and sketching, I do both as well. I also love making crafts and DIYs, stitching, and more.
Have you ever thought about why his name is Chinco?
Well, people thought he was Chinese because of his chinky eyes despite being dressed in Nigerian skin color 😅. That was really weird. Anyway,
he's a weirdo too. When I first thought about its possibilities (not reading his post yet), it was actually unbelievable because I have never seen a Chinese dated a Nigerian in this Chinese country 😅 (I'm working here in Hong Kong, in case you don't know). But Chinco is a pure Nigerian and that was just people's first impression of him.
On the 2nd day, I introduced him here.
Meet Chinco, My Partner. You'll know more things about him, just hit the link.
He then responded, Thank You Janey, with some set of questions and advice. What a thoughtful guy.
Chinco isn't just an introvert, he can be extroverted too, thus, an ambivert guy. I can imagine him like a caterpillar inside a cocoon that has gone out of it. As he spread his wings, he got wild, just enjoyed life, and danced along with the beat of the music and life. That's real freedom I should say.
He likes dancing, and if we meet in the future, I want him to teach me because seriously, it's something hard to learn by myself 🤣.
Our conversation continued through responding set of questions in a post and exchanging words in our comment sections.
On the 3rd day, the answers to his questions were posted, Some things I want to change. Of course, I can't just end it without asking questions to him as well, and he answered them on the
4th day, Strengthening the bond.
There I learned that he wants to visit Spain someday, or live there if given a chance. I like Spain too and I like learning Spanish since our language has a mixture of Spanish words. Besides, we have a lot of Spanish friends here. Hola amigos. Cómo estás? Espero que estés disfrutando este desafío 😊
Now we are down on the 5th day, and no matter what the result of this challenge is, it doesn't matter. What matters most are the people I met and the stories I learned. Chinco once said we were fated to meet each other, I said, No, it was @dreemsteem who brought us together 🤣🤣. Thanks to this challenge, I met another awesome Nigerian.
But before I end this post, I wanna answer the last three questions he asked me in his recent post.
How do you cope with work and hive?
Honestly? It's too tough to manage my time as I'm always like a busybee each juggling from one place to another. And would you believe me if I told you that, I'm not just managing one platform but two? Oh, three I mean 🤣. Some of my friends here know about it, haha. That's how productive I am each day. Working in the real world during the day, and doing online side hustles during spare time and at night before I hit the sack.
It's not just blogging but also crypto trading and managing some DeFi investments. I never thought I can be as productive as this. It started in blogging then through different platforms, I learned more about cryptocurrencies and DeFi, and I got hooked by this Cryptoverse.
But sometimes, it's really tough to manage work and blogging at the same time. So if you can't find me online, that means, I'm totally swamped and has a lot on my plate.
What's your favorite color and why?
Pink, yellow, blue, purple, and neutral colors. I don't really have a favorite color. But I prefer those colors. I like the light ones as I find them relaxing. I seldom wear black colors though. But most of the time, I wear white and other light colors.
When did you realize that you love to travel and what was the place you visited first?
I like to travel ever since when I was in the Philippines. One of my dreams is to travel around the world. But I guess it's too impossible to happen 🤣.
I've been to a few places in my country though because it's pretty expensive to travel there and one day isn't enough to visit a tourist spot you want to visit. In some cases, you need to travel by air or by bus for certain hours just to reach a beautiful tourist spot. That's why I didn't really travel that much in my country.
The first place I visited outside my province was Cebu. It was one of the prettiest places in the Philippines with a lot of tourist spots. One of them is Virgin Island.
Yeah, that's me 9 years ago during our trip to Virgin Island 🤣.
When I worked here in Hong Kong, I became a Hodophile, especially since the beautiful places here are just a few hours away from the city. Moreover, it's too convenient to travel here by train and bus, and the fare is too affordable. It won't even cost a thousand if I would convert the farr to our fiat, unlike in our country where I need to spend a few thousand just to visit a pretty place.
My last trip with my travel buddy was last month, and I missed traveling again 😔. She's back to work that is why we can't travel that much nowadays. The last place we visited was the seafood capital of Hong Kong, Sai Kung Town.
You can check my travel blog here.
Seafood Capital Of Hong Kong, Sai Kung Town
I like traveling to nature too as it become my haven and comforter.
This was the mountain we hiked before we visited Sai Kung Town and I'll post a travel blog about it one of these days.
Back to Ecency Points...
I wasn't really that active compared to other participants since I'm always busy at work. But I still managed to grow my Ecency Points this week, thanks to this challenge.
Here's the graph of my points from Monday to Friday.
So far, so good, it has 24.36% growth and it keeps growing day by day. At the end of this challenge, I wanna gift some points to people I interacted with as a way of appreciation.
That's all Dreemers!!
And I hope you like the Team IntroArt? 😁. To participants, did you have fun? Because I did. I and my partner did.
Until next time and thank you once again @dreemport @dreemsteem @ecency for making this fun challenge.
See you on the next challenge. And a happy weekend in advance 😁.
