🤒 Sick Days in My Life but LIVING LIFE Nonetheless 😎✨ | DOUALA VLOG

Hello beautiful people,
This vlog is packed with lots of stuff from over a couple of weeks but let's call it 'a week in my life' for the algo. I was ill (recovered by the grace of God), ran errands, showed a bit of life in Douala from another angle, was able to eat my heart out at a birthday dinner...
I show you one of the best ice-cream spots in Douala, a great location for dinner in Douala, and much more.
Yeah, this vlog is loads of fun, if I do say so myself and I hope you enjoy watching it.
xx Mutombo.

Nice addition to your apartment! Ashia for sick! Looks like you were all better by the end of the vlog tho! Fun birthday party! Always a good idea to eat a lil something before any party. I had that feeling of starving and just waiting for food. I love trying everything too, but hate that feeling of over fullness afterwards. It doesn’t always stop me tho!😏

[@LydiaTifuh]

I’ve missed that bread you had with the eggs. There was a time I could eat it everyday . Did I just witness you draw away from pink and nude tones in your editing style? I love the gold and black tones as well. Happy birthday Sabine, many more years. I just had a n idea for this intimate dinner thing I’d like to organise, a karaoke session!

[@mutomboinprogress]

Karaoke is definitely fun. I started the evening off saying i wasn't interested in singing but ended up there. Hahaha. Good eye! Yes, I tried the pink tones out in the previous vlog and loved it but pink is really not Mutombo. I experimented a bit with blue and gold in a previous vlog (blue is one of my favourite colours) but it's difficult to get blue to match with the actual video footage since one can never tell what colours would be in the video. I liked the dark vibes of the blue so decided to go with black for this one and I love it! I think I'll stick with black and gold for this year.

[@shufaisirwirsiy]

Try to get prepaid metre installed, I guarantee you it's way way cheaper! I have an air conditioner and don't spend more than 4k a week, as in weeks where I'm home all the time!! Missed watching you!!

We have that prepaid meter installed but that was a more recent development. I agree, it's definitely easier to monitor consumption with that. Hehehehe maybe 4k a week are the bills I'm crying about 🤣🤣🤣.

[@chinwendukweli3081]

Hi Mutombo please do a video on the installation of the gas AC you wanted I am interested to know how does it works. Loading shedding is no joke in summer and the electricity bill too. Anyway gas is cheaper.

[@mutomboinprogress]

Ayeee, please no be me install am ooo! I didn’t do it myself. I called a technician. But regarding the gas, the gas is just the cooling agent in the AC and not a power source so you are still going to need electricity for the AC to work. Basically, cooling units use 2 main types of cooling gas (not interchangeable tho!!!): R22 gas and R410 gas. R22 is the older standard and is less efficient, R410 is more efficient and newer, hence cools the room faster and uses up less power, hence less electricity. So getting an AC with R410 gas is advised. I hope that’s clearer. I should have been more explicit in the video. My bad 😅

[@VaninaElise]

Would you please give us a complete updated home tour ? How much would an apart like that + renovation cost ? Looks like water is flowing well in your apartment do you usually have shortages ?

[@mutomboinprogress]

We have a bore hole for the apartment building so our water supply is constant except for days when the pump is faulty. But water is not an issue here, thank God. That's what most owners here in Douala do because the alternative is frustration. The cost of an apartment like this will vary based on the neighbourhood but generally, 100k and above will do the trick. Renovations... Ah that's a different story

[@sandrab1732]

The apartment is coming together nicely. Say add the “Porary” 😆

Hahaha you’re right! That was Lizzy. She always comes through with the outfits! She always tells me I need to step my game up. Ha! I did not eat all day oh, but for that small piece of bread I had at my desk. It was literally a meat buffet (beef, goat, chicken, shrimp, kidney, etc) and the chefs were the ones bringing the food to the table so we didn’t even have to get up. Of course I came prepared 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s Vincent supporting the shenanigans & telling you to turn to the side 😂😂 love to see it 😍 Also, how do you create the graphic/clip for the subscribe button @ 6:09 ?

[@mutomboinprogress]

support of shenanigans is a non-negotiable 🤣🤣. I think even here on the channel, I've gotten comfortable enough to let this side of me show and I'm really happy you are receptive to it. Re: the subscribe button, I literally did a screen recording of me clicking on my own subscribe button on my laptop and then I went into my editing app, cropped it down to just the necessary part, and then put a textbox saying '100k subscribers' over my actual subscriber count. The textbox has to have with white background so it actually covers the original subscriber count. Yeah, I saved it as a video clip and just import it whenever I am editing a new video.

I actually put the name on the screen 😉 but it’s called Lounge n Garden and it’s in Bonapriso (you can find it on Google Maps). Just for more info on the place, the grill buffet is done on Saturdays and cost about 15,000 frs per head. Drinks range from 1,500 to about 3,000 frs for soft drinks and mocktails. 🍹Cocktails should be up to 5,000frs and the wines start at 20,000frs a bottle. Not too sure about the rest of the alcohol menu tbh. Thanks for watching 😘😘

Great Job Mutombo... just want to give a piece of my thought as well .. maybe you should blur your finished logo when working a client's logo...Get well soon.

[@mutomboinprogress]

In the original edit I had blurred it but I asked her yesterday about posting the process video and she said it’s okay. I never post any client work without their permission. But you do have a point. I felt funny about it and gut feelings are not to be ignored. One never knows. May be too late but I’ll go ahead blur out the finished logo.
