The only use in masculinity it offers is the ability of splaying legs and presenting the crown jewels to poor unsuspecting dhoocilo, a facility trousers do not offer. wow. i guess its handy than. shouldn't it be the other way, though. shouldn't women have that role, while men grap it. I agree, macawis is originally a woman piece, so you have the right to reclaim it. i do have to admit, a diric is more pleasant as macawis have been masculinized over the years, to me it is heavier. just picturing Xaliimo with a macawis makes me laugh, very hard well i guess we will have to order a garan with that for you too wildcat

Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!" And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb a**, It's Tony Blair!" good one Soma!

ah, nice takes on the question. well, 5 posts and nothing have been hijacked. thanks alot, i am an spectator, and someone had to ask the question to what someone will do after graduating. thanks graduates for helping the Xamaali people move on, and to seek the best. if nothing else, Taxi is ready for every Faarax, and Guri for every Xaliimo. Waterily, i guess from these experts, it boils down to two phases; 1. Shabaq-tuur; in which you move out in wide areas and fields to look for the best, but also settle for what opportunity bestows onto you if no luck, 2. sabr; another word for Taxi or Guri

(II) For suits, I'm informed, an S. Canalli or Hugo Boss suit will go well with a Stephano Ritchie or Van Laack shirt; with a Rado, Seiko or Rolex watch for good measure. Socks at Sh2,500 and a shirt for Sh5,000 are considered a fair deal. "They are fashion conscious as they subscribe to Time, Newsweek, GQ and Men's Health magazines where they keep tabs on global trends. Spending over Sh100,000 is not a big deal. The same case with women who will spend the same amount for a couple of Gerry Webber pant suits and double cuff-link shirts to match the severe and sophisticated competition of the corporate world," adds Fazal. "Their extravagance would shock their parents," thinks Teddy Muthusi, a copywriter with Lowe Scanad advertising, "but again, they really work hard for their money, earning between Sh100,000 and Sh300,000 minus benefits as advertising executives, bankers and managers." So where do they unwind? According to Teddy, you will hardly find them in discos or open-air concerts. They also go out of Nairobi to, say Naivasha or Olepolos in Kajiado, for a "loose-mbuzi-thing," meaning, a goat eating party out of town. Tamasha, which was heaved out of the larger Buffet Park bar and restaurant, is one such joint. Save for the music, service and somewhat classy clientele; there is nothing out of this planet about this members-only pub. We drive to Alfajiri in Kilimani (you can't reach it by public means), which, alongside The Hood and Casablanca in Hurlingham, Choices on Baricho Road, Club Qatika, Mercury Lounge, Thesaurus, Sohos in Westlands, Havana, Club Sikiliza, Kengeles, Cafe Creame, and Chillers are for the well-heeled. Alfajiri is the latest addition to their nocturnal escapades. It is actually a colonial residence turned into a pub, with cosy inviting metal decor and a spacious grass lawn. Again little is unique about it, besides its exclusivity. "Most prefer tested places where they can drink, bond and network," offers Kiarie. And when a little broke, in-house bottle parties, come in handy. And when bonding, they mostly discuss themselves, the sexes, where they will party next, their careers and international sports like Formula One racing and the English Premier League, with a fleeting mention of Kenyan politics. For local sports, Conjestina is discussed strictly for amusement. Aren't women ingredients in this veritable cocktail? "They are," says, Esther Mumbi, 25, director of Touch Up, a wedding and events management company, "and they prefer hanging out in pricey places with men who have made it. They also seem to have warped priorities. Some live in a Sh40,000 apartment yet they earn Sh60,000. So even for them, it's an image package of who you are and where you live and whether you are part of the MBA movement." She adds: "They spoil themselves as they don't have commitments, furnishing their shared apartments with the latest electronics and leather seats." Does this mean they don't invest? S: allafrica.com

I just figured, with all the amazement with world politics, and Somali politics. we give some room to Africa somewhere between the lines. here, we can post and discuss broader, whether bad or good, big or small, issues concerning Africa. My first pick, Kenya, where few 'yuppies' are changing class, and i happen to spot one Somali, if I am not wrong, Aziz . there are three parts to make it easy to read. It is not a bad place after all, check it: ------------------------------------------------ (I) Kamau Mutunga Nairobi They could be footballer Dennis Oliech - rumoured to be earning more than Sh1 million a week playing for Nantes in France - or Trevor Ogembo. Ogembo is a 27-year-old public relations officer with a marketing firm. He earns Sh80,000 a month and lives with two friends in a three bedroomed house, where he occupies the bedroom ensuite, forking out Sh20, 000 a month for it. Ogembo would rather die than be seen in a matatu and drives a Mitsubishi Gallant, courtesy of a Sh750,000 company loan. "This is the life, and I'm not dreaming of living it small," he proclaims as he shakes his head to the refrains of Jon Bon Jovi's 'It's my life' at Tamasha Pub in the upmarket Hurlingham, Nairobi. Later on this Sunday night, he takes me to his digs in Sirikwa Estate. A flight of stairs past the sitting room, which they all share, opens to his bedroom. It's an all white, but expensively furnished affair-there is a king size sleeping couch bought in Egypt, a 29-inch plasma TV, a leather rocking chair and a home theatre system. And that's it. "Living here means no relatives ... I care only about my lifestyle, friends and career," he says, fishing out a bottle of Famous Grouse brandy from a section of the wardrobe that he has turned into a cellar. Ogembo is the brave new face of the Kenyan yuppie (Young urban professional person), who live, work and spend hard and generally have an attitude. They appeared in the 1990s when graduates started becoming CEOs three years into the job as experience became obsolete in a world where computer literacy was the in-thing. But, surveyed closely, most of the yuppies are children of parents who grew up around Kenya's independence and have retired in the city. The yuppies were chauffeured to schools that were previously whites-only such as St Mary's unlike their parents - the proud Alliance, Mangu and Machakos School types. "Ours is a generation of movers," says John Kiarie, (KJ) an art director at Ogilvy and Mather advertising, "and most of us would rather park a Range Rover outside a servant's quarters in Hurlingham, than live in Buru Buru or anywhere East of Uhuru Highway. Some have to fake it, till they make it." Fake or real, there are unwritten rules of membership to the yuppie set. You have to earn a salary the length of a KRA Pin Number, live in a leafy suburb, run a fuel guzzler or one or two showy souped-up cars, banish any traces of your mother tongue in your English and have a reputation for free-wheeling spending. A sharp fashion sense completes the requisite image that ensures steady invitation to Nairobi's A-list parties. "The image thing is global," says George Lutta, managing director, Media Initiative East Africa. "In Nairobi, you are defined by where you work, your knowledge and whether you are progressive. They (yuppies) are part of the new consumerism because they earn more than they will ever inherit from their parents," says Lutta, who lives in a fully serviced apartment. "I had to move because of my social affiliation, security and the high cost of running a house. Now I don't need to employ a gardener or cleaner." Most of these apartments are in Hurlingham, Kileleshwa, Lavington, Loresho and Westlands and South "C." And boy, aren't they blessed, living large and spending big without the slightest heartburn? Aziz Fazal of the exclusive Abdulla Fazal fashion shop says to most of them, image means branding themselves; from the cars they drive, nay spin, the clubs they frequent to the sunglasses they wear."

Nin geel jira ahaan jiray wiligiis baa waxaa la kiinay magalaada. markii uu cabaar joogay buu wuxuu laba bari u dhoofay Rooma, Italy. markii uu soo laabtay baa waxaa lagu yiri; 'geel wiligaa ma aragtay', markaas buu wuxuu yiri 'haa, Rooma baan ku soo arkay' reer magaalnimo, a tough thing, an endless mission!

i don't know what was funny to him, but i am cracking at this: All I’m saying is that the dude was kicked around few times by couple of kids. No bigy, he was conscious enough to scare them away. i don't even know where he got that. but hell, Sheh, i know you know sometimes the best option is flight. if you don't, you must migrated before we did :cool:

Is this guy for real, he got beaten 'almost to death', and he is still asking for more. there is the potential for this to happen again. well, i guess what goes around, comes back. Damn, you saw what the taxi driver did :mad: mukhtar, my advice in two words is, Get Out

lets stop the criticizing, and start the praises; what is your favorite K'nan line(s); mine is 'i know struggle, and struggle knows me'. love the video, so soomaali, soo canjeela His dress, is well, i guess all you in here, want him to be a follower, but he wants to lead, an hence dress independently. i wouldn't be surprised, if i saw K'nan wearing a Somali skirt, shid

One more prove that race is really a myth. Digaale, you must be thinking what the man in the picture first thought. i think we are in the aftermath, and that is what we are analyzing. but hell, anyone would fall for that hot girl in the picture, me thinks, including the employer, and the many employees

follow up; hadii kale, digaal iyo ooradiisa; digaal; naa maxaa soo gaday oor; qowdhanow waxna, lacagtaa ii gaari weysey on the real, i think it is a cultural thing. to me, it seems an inappropiate way to address young female adults, but it is cool at your backyard. remember, the word is no magic, it is used for some reason, or some places. :rolleyes:
