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 

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I

End It?

I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel

Part 1

In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can
