La Sape aka Sapologie.

Asides from the usual imagery we get from the country Congo, the Sapologie culture brings a 
colorful touch. I am a fashion lover, and a believer that fashion knows no limit, it is what you 
make of it; therefore i had to talk about the fashion culture which has really got my interest lately. 
With the Congo independence coming up, comes a lot of parties. We look forward to the 
food,drinks, dance and friends, but most of all, we look forward to the fashion. It is the 
ingredient for the creative, colorful and vibrant ambiance.

The Sapologie culture is similar to the dandy culture of the 60s and 80s.


The sapologie culture has its roots from the need to look good, trending from the best DESIGNER clothing, accessories and shoes, you can somewhat say its become a competition.

Though its a natural desire to look good in the Congolese society, there's a certain minority who have created this sapologie culture as a means to show off their latest designer (and yes! ONLY DESIGNER, nothing else can stand the battle).. Its a full effort they make on their outfits; and the reward is the recognition/acknowledgement from the general public. They parade 
around at concerts, parties and even on a day out just to the shops!. They like to go to the extremes with their fashion from high end fashion to copying what celebrities wear. 

There was a recent trend in the sapologie world of leaving the designer tag on your clothes and showing it off instead of putting it inside or cutting it off like normal people do. It was a way for them to try show that their garments were real and to show everyone what designer they were wearing. Some even wore their clothes inside out! depending on how much you have or how 
much designer you can get. 

Sapologie can even extend to the hood/ slums where one who has more designer or latest stuff can show off to his friends even though they may be starving, some prefer to look good. So it 
goes from small scale to the full blown large scale where the rich are. They like color, unique styles, matching items.


Though some styles are extreme, creativity is key! The weird and unique it looks, the better.




The sad fact is, some people cant afford this culture, and in some circumstance, people will sacrifice food for their family or steal to get the outfits; also buy fake china products.








"I admire the sapologie culture, & the glamorous side of africa it represents. It gets to show that no matter the circumstance, if you look good on the outside, you automatically feel good on the 
inside; its probably less important than food or shelter, but the idea is that fashion opens your creative thinking, which shows you that you are able to create a light in any dark situation"...Ovi saks

Pain is Good

Was reading this article on a girl that could not feel pain, the medical terminology is Congenital Insensitivity to pain. CIP
I read the first line, "girl with rare disorder, cant feel pain"; I thought to myself, that's lucky, that's one disorder i would not mind having, but as i read along, i decided to take back what i said.
Pain is the way your body tells you that there is something wrong, and if the nerve that transfers this information is not working properly, then your body cannot react properly, therefore patients with CIP are most likely to not notice infections, illness, disease and other biological problems.

Got me thinking, if our body needs pain to react, that means, pain is part of the survival process; Therefore, rather than wish pain away, we should ask for strength in dealing with pain. By overcoming our pain, our body gets stronger, our antibodies become better at fighting bacteria.

Pain is a normal process, If pain wasn't necessarily, Christ would not have gone through all that nailing on the cross milaki just to save us.

Its not your pain that matters, its how you deal with it. xxx

God Blogs: A quick word.

Just a quick word.

When you ask, you will receive.

*By lowering your expectations, You are loosing your faith in God and telling God that he is not capable of blessing you with great things, your also telling him that he is not all knowing, all powerful. Aim high, Your God is not low.

*You success is connected to your neighbor`s success, STOP praying for just your success in home and inner circle, enlarge your circle. Start praying for your neighbor, your president, your local business man, the man in the blue suit, the single mother next door etc. When one man opens a company, he opens job opportunities to people, When the woman becomes rich, she donates to various charities. We are all connected to our success. so help me help you.

*Be the change you want to see in your community. If you think your government are criminals, then stop getting involve with fraud. Be an example, it catches on. ;o)

*Challenge what you think you know before you pass judgment. Be very analytic in every situation, sometimes, the meaning goes deeper.

*Avoid looking like a fool, think before you speak

*Lastly, BE YOU, nothing is more satisfying.

Trying to be me in this stupendously fake world.

We get so caught up with what we shoud look like, that we forget what we are like. When you find yourself struggling with what you are doing, its Not for you, which has taken me so long to grasp, but i think i am one step closer.
I have worked in loads of jobs, and tried and experimented with a whole lot. I have pretended to like a job and even convinced my brain that I am enjoying it.

No matter how much you mix oil an water, it just doesnt mix, i tried that experiment too (hehe).

I am comfortable with who i am and sometimes it takes me a long time to comprehend my tools and hows to use them, I sometimes require a manual eg my bible, education, internet or word of advice.

What am trying to say is, its soooooo much easier doing you, its sometimes challenging and confusing, but when it becomes enjoyable and the headaches that come with it doesnt matter anymore, then you know you are seating on your throne.
