Engine tuning
An engine consists of a setup of mechanical
and electronic elements and most engines
employ the use of new technologies to provide
the best balance between performance and
emissions through the use of ECM (Engine
Control Unit). The OBD (On-Board Diagnosis) is
a communication protocol mostly used for
self-diagnosis can be modified via ‘mapping’
Mapping can be performed through
reprogramming the ECU (Electronic Control
Unit) or feeding false data through plug in
hardware. You can add power to the
mechanical components by using
turbochargers or superchargers. Engine tuning
needs to be done by an expert to avoid
premature failure.

THE
UNCUT
Written by BRAMWELL KONANA,
Nameless and Wahu are a famous
couple with a long lasting
relationship of more than a decade
with their meeting point being on a
campus function and their Uncut
story delivering two kids.
Kenyan celebrated music stars, David
Mathenge alias Nameless and
Rosemary Wahu Kagwi alias Wahu are
one of the most famous couples in
the Kenyan music industry. They have
been in a longtime relationship of
unique love and romance story which
have lasted for more than a decade.
Both are artistes with top charting
hits across East Africa.
Nameless and Wahu are two of the
select group of Kenyan celebrities
who have managed to etch their
footprints on the music industry. The
music power couple met in 1998 at a
campus event at Grand Regency
through one of their mutual friends.
Their first official date was on a
Boxing Day where they had lunch at
the Wimpy restaurant in Corner
House. After their meal they took a
nice long walk across the city, just
talking and getting to know each
other.

While the two are grateful for their
‘Our courtship was lots of fun. We were
young and carefree. We didn’t do very
careers and various awards and
recognition they have received in the

each other’s company, no matter the
industry, what they are most proud
of is being parents. They have two
settings. We would go on a rave, picnics,

DENNIS MENEZ:
BECAUSE
WHEN YOU
CATCH HIM
CHEATING
September 2015 issue | Gum exclusives! Artist of the Month : Kenkyusha Yoko

Because when you
catch him cheating
By Menez
He will hold your hand in public. He will
go down on you in the bedroom. He will
give you bucket loads of attention to
make up for his neglect in the past and
to lessen his guilt.
When he gets caught cheating, he will
return to acting like the perfect
boyfriend. It will remind you of the way
he used to act back when you first
started dating. He will buy you gifts. He
will plan out dates. He will call you
beautiful every chance he sees. He will
make you feel special. He will lure you
into a false sense of security.
After you catch him cheating, there will
be a timeframe where you feel like you
did the right thing by staying. Weirdly,
you will feel like your relationship is
doing better than ever before.
But after some time passes, it will get worse
again. He will come home late, you will
question where he was because you're
worried he was with another girl, and he
will make a comment about how it's been
so long since he cheated and he thought he
earned your trust back by now.
When he gets caught cheating, he is
going to promise you it meant
nothing. It was only sexual. It was
only one time. It only happened
when he was drunk. He is going to
make the biggest betrayal possible
sound like it was an accident, no big
deal, something you should not
hold over his head forever.
When he gets caught cheating, he is
going to swear that he will change.
He is going to convince you that he
deserves another chance because
cheating on you made him realize
how much he loves you and how
much he would hate himself for
losing you. He will beg you to give
him one more chance and promise
he will not screw it up because you
mean everything to him.
When he gets caught cheating, he
will go overboard when it comes to
'doing the right thing'. He will make
a show of deleting every single
woman on his phone in front of
you. He will take a break from
social media. He will give you the
passwords to his phone and social
media accounts. He will take great
lengths to make you feel like you
have nothing to worry about.
When he gets caught cheating, he
will go out of his way to make you
feel like you're his only one. He will
be more affectionate.

He will get annoyed by the questions you have a
right to ask. He will get angry when you seem
suspicious of him, even though it's his own fault.
When you catch him cheating, your entire
dynamic will change. When he so much as
mentions another woman's name, you will wonder
whether he's thought about sleeping with her.
Meanwhile, you'll feel like you have the right to
flirt with other men because he touched another
woman so what you are doing is tame in
comparison.
You won't think of him as the person who would
never hurt you, because you already know he's
capable of hurting you. You won't think of him as
the love of your life, because if he really loved you,
could he have betrayed you like this?
After you catch him cheating, do yourself a favor
and leave him, because the relationship is never
going to be the same. You are never going to feel as
safe and loved as you used to when he walked into
the room.
When you catch him cheating, your deepest
insecurities will rise to the surface. A part of you
will want to lose weight to impress him because if
he cheated, he must have stopped being attracted
to you. Another part of you will want to cheat on
him to make him feel the way that you now feel
every single day when you glance into the mirror.
When you catch him cheating, you will run
through the past in your head, trying to figure out
when he was talking to her, when he was seeing
her, when he was kissing her. You will see how
many lies you can count off the top of your head.
Happy memories will become tainted with what
ifs.
What if he saw her the night he claimed he was
sick with the flu? What if he was thinking about her
the last time you had sex? What if he's still seeing
her now even though he swore he would never
contact her again?
When you catch him cheating, your mind will
never leave you alone. It will torture you from the
moment you wake up until the moment your head
hits the pillow at night.
Worst of all, after you catch him cheating and
forgive him; he might feel like he's free to cheat
again. He might assume you will forgive him the
next time too. He might even be sneakier next
time. He might learn from his mistakes. He might
know what he did wrong in the past and fix it.
Even if he keeps his promise and remains faithful
for the rest of your relationship, after you catch
him cheating the first time, your entire opinion of
him will change.
