Lazy Monday

Heyy!!
 
Public Holidays on Mondays are a bliss.
I woke up like 9am, had my bath like 5pm; I have barely moved from one spot sef *smiles sheepishly*

Anyway, I decided to watch this movie 'The Lobster' written and directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. (Yeah if you've seen it, I know I carried last, and if you haven't; hehe jokes on you). It stars Collins Farrell as David (he had to be fat for this character, well not fat but not regular Collins either, lol. P.S: you got to love his accent) and Rachael Weisz as the short sighted woman, and some other actors and actresses.
When someone asked me what the movie was about I said 'its not something to be described in a few words'

What intrigued me and I decided to see it was the caption; An unconventional love story. (Lemme just say that love movies are blehh and too predictable, and this clearly said unconventional). In my opinion the whole movie was unconventional.
I asked myself 'this idea was in someone's mind?'

Heard of Utopian? The movie is dystopian. The city in which single people are given 45 days to find a partner (note: not fall in love) or be turned into an animal.
They are against single people sef. There was a scene where David (Collins Farrell) was standing by himself and a police man asked for his marriage certificate, and because he was single he had to lie that it was in his wife's purse and she was shopping for something. The police man was about to begin the hunt for 'the wife' when she just appeared and was like 'darling sorry for keeping you waiting'. Imagine?!
Biko I don't want to live in a time like that if it ever happens.

I believe the essence of the movie was to expose the pros and cons of being in a relationship and being single.

You don't even want me to start on how the movie ended (lol, see what I did there?). It reminded me of The book in the Fault in our stars -Imperial Affliction by Peter Van Houten .

I guess that's my form of a review.

Well that's just one of the things I did today.
I hope your day was amazing.


With love, theInspiredCutiee 

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

Your Isaac

I always marvel at Abraham's faith. That man went through a lot. I ask myself if I'm capable of enduring one tenth of what he went through.. (Genesis 12 and 22) After waiting for years for a child, God eventually gave him one, and then God said he should sacrifice him.. Every time I read this passage (Genesis 22:2) I take a pause, I'm like 'hollup hollup, whatasay??'. I'm always like God please don't give me such a test oh; because I'll legit fail. 😖 Notice in Gensis 22:1; says 'After all this, God tested Abraham' (The Message). Its clearly says after all what Abraham went through God tested him, test is in past tense; meaning when Abraham was encountering such it wasn't a test for him. We read it now as a test; but for him it was life, real life! Not African Magic or Telemundo.. Lol. What's your Isaac I ask? It doesn't have to be your child.. Lol. It can be your time, your communion with God, or time with other belie...

Star Struck!

Hmmm… My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes… Na so I stand at attention Na so my mouth no gree move Na so I just dey look Chai! My brain no even boot to take picture… Na so I dull! Ha-ha! I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post. I should actually give you the gist… Scene 1 I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh. I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot. Enter Nathaniel Bassey… I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy. ‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised. God bless you, I am...
