My BRT Experience

Hello. Hi. Howdy.

Don't get it twisted that I have never boarded a BRT before oh; it my utmost believe that the second surest way to fly is by BRT, well after okada or bike. (planes are or big men and women *smiles sheepishly*).
Before I proceed to my story, lemme state the full meaning of BRT (for those of you who don't know, don't form you are probably one of those who doesn't know *sticking out tongue*)  it is Lagos Bus Rapid Transit system, (remember I said the second surest way to fly hehe). Don't tell anyone, before I used to think it was Babatunde Raji Transport because it began during his time *don't judge me*

Oya enough shalaye, let the tori tori begin.
I was in a rush to get to church for my weekly discipleship classes which begin at 6, I need to attend them for two reasons; 1.my mother won't lemme here word and 2. I actually like my teacher (Note: to all you pervs she's a woman)
I knew my boss would not allow me leave before 6 (which is my closing time) and even at past 6 she would be doing anyhow asif I am supposed to sleep at work. So I decided to take a BRT, why is this such a decision you might ask?, well the boarding point of the BRT is not close to my office I have to spend 100 naira to get to the boarding point, my consolation is that at least the fast ride on the BRT would make up for the more money I have to spend to get to church.

I got to the bus-top at 6:30, although the queue was annoying long, I kept telling myself I'll be at church by 7.  As usual the ride was smooth, till we got to the point where some people who's fare had expired would highlight. That's how the driver announced that he won't proceed in the journey. Initially I thought it was a joke, I even laughed  and said 'Not today Satan, not TODAY' until I saw him come down. Other passengers were annoyed, but no one was annoyed as I was, after all they weren't in a hurry to be at any particular place. I kept pacing and pacing, waiting for the next one to come and carry us, ironically that's when they all decided not to go.

One eventually came after like 10 minutes of waiting and decided to take us.The apex of my story was the fact that I did not throw my ticket away, because recently they haven't been checking for it. (imagine after waiting for so long and then not being able to get on it)
To add fire to injury, this new driver decided to crawl, ladies and gentlemen this was past 7, I was so angry, it was like the devil was snickering at me. At long last, we reached my bus-top and then that's how this man refused to open the door, it was like I was watching a movie. People were shouting 'oga open this damn door' like 3 minutes later he now decided to.

Sigh. Just sigh.

BUT!!
The good news is that I made the class, although I was late, I made it. I was able to receive my last minute share of the blessing God packaged for me.

And this is the end of my tori. *makes clapping noise*
With love, theInspiredCutiee 

Short story type of day

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

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

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...
