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 

Short story type of day

By
I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...

Lauren Daigle

By
Lauren Daigle is a contemporary christian music singer. I absolutely love her voice. She speaks to your soul and situation.  Her music is exceptional; but my favorite two are: How Can It Be and Trust In You. The first time I heard 'How Can It Be' I was in tears.. Sigh.. Like I said she speaks to your situation. That moment of my life I felt inadequate of God's love and then I heard this song.  Just take a moment to look at the lyrics:  http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/laurendaigle/howcanitbe.html 'Trust in you' is nothing short of her amazing voice, again the lyrics blow me away. The chorus is always a reminder: When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You! I always ask myself; can I still trust God when He doesn't give me the answers I want? Can I still be genuinely gra...

The Halo Effect

By
Are you exhibiting the halo effect? Do you buy products because of the celebrity representing it? Or stay in a relationship that is wrong because of one good quality? We are all attracted to people all the time. What attracts us to others? And what attracts you? When you meet someone for the first time you draw a conclusion about them, subconsciously you decide whether you like them or not. BUT is it possible that one trait or aspect of one's character can influence your perception about them? Honestly, I judge a person's character based on their physical appearance, its a quick judgment that is very likely inaccurate. The good thing is that once I begin to have a conversation, I realize there's more to the person than just physical looks. (Well that's for those that are actually more than their looks). The halo effect can cloud our judgment even when we know about it. When one good quality spills its appeal unto other elements of a per...
