Happy soul ultra pro max!

I recently went out on a holiday. A long one for that matter. Three days in Medina with fam and a week at Flamingo Beach Resort thanks to my employer.

Am always the errand boy when we do our road trips or do our fun visits. Am always the director of photography, the lights guy and the primary and secondary photographer. Let me not bore you with stories. Let the photos tell the story.

Location: Medina Palms – Watamu

Gadget: Nikon D610

Day 1: The questions

Siz: “Siloma are you ready? You know am doing this make makeup for photos.”

Bro: “Bro niokolee vest.”

Cuzo: “Am I fat?”

Me: ? – Tired already.

Fam

Makeup girl ? posed for one good one. To her it is always, “I just want one good one.” You will end up doing 100, discard 99 for that 1 good one.

And what I love about me is that am a good teacher. I called bro to tell him to take one good one like the one I took them. Ours was more amazing.

Fam 2
This one deserves an Oscar. See, photos with Siloma become masterpieces. There is some beauty I pour in all my photos.

Day 2: The follow-ups

Siz: “Your photos were not that bad. Today I want sasa Instagram Material.”

Bro: “Manze bro nilisahau short.”

Cuzo: “This doesn’t make me look fat, sindio?”

Me: ? – Dead already.

So today I teach a waiter to take us, one good one ?

Fam 3
“Excusa Waiter,Kindly just frame this photo well and press here.” “Ati nini?” “Samahani, fremu hii picha kati alafu bofya hiki kibuttoni cha silveri” ? “Waleva men, just take the photo.”

But again I cannot breathe…

Cuzo sprinkles the waters of bliss

And as soon as some people see that…

Sola
Take me one here aki. I also need the water. Talk of copy-cats, SMH.

And later that evening we take a stroll to the beach. I wish I never carried my camera.

Judy
Yo! Are you doing a BOSE commercial or something?

Luckily to appease the ancestors in the camera, we went Kayaking.

Fam 4
When other people take photos of you. ?
Haggai 2
This is a good one. I wish she knew that this is amazing framing.

And because I have a sister who will read this blog and ask, “Kwanini hukuweka ile yangu” let me just post it

Sola 1
Sitaki kupigwa na mtu mwingine, patia Siloma camera.

Then we decided to do some – I don’t know what they are called ?

Haggai
Hahaha La Presidente
Judy
Hehehe le Missidente ?

Day 3: The Nolstagia

Siz: “Aki our holiday is over”

Bro: “Manze next time sitahau kubeba stuff.”

Cuzo: “Aki I hope sijanona na hizi food nimekula huku”

Me: ? – Bury me already. But wait, my holiday just got started. As you guys fly back to Nairobi, I head to Mombasa for another week of fun. Who’s laughing now?

This day we wrap it in style.

Then the people who borrow singlets

So we went snorkeling. And this was the most amazing part of the trip. The coral was just, breath-taking. It made me add one thing to my bucket list – deep sea diving.

Fam 5

Tuktuk Girl. At least this was an original work of art.

Sola 4
Then, “I want one good one with a Tuktuk!”

That was a well-deserved trip. It was amazing. I loved it. I had lots of fun.

How many of you have seen a jini? And I don’t mean Genie in a bottle. You know there is a difference between a genie and a jini? I think a genie is white; either British or from the US. You see the way you set up your new laptop or phone and you are asked to choose your language?
