THIS IS US

 In order to clarify any confusion, my previous post ended in an enigma. I was going to write some more but I didn’t want to go on and on and then begin to yarn and you become bored, more importantly I wanted to found out people’s views on the topic.  
Anyways, moving on… I was on the search for new series to watch, (it’s not like I have finished the ones I have oh, lol) because in this rave of social media, very good series are rare. Plus, I have had my share of good, bad and ugly series. Usually my process for selecting series (I love series) goes like this:
1.      The Title, it has to be catchy, probably one of the reasons I started “How To Get Away With Murder and You’re the worst”
2.      In the event that number one isn’t available, Referral. Someone has got to have hyped, or be psyched about it. (I didn’t even start Game of Thrones till season 2) And trust me not just anyone. Lots of people have various ideas on what is nice. *side eye*
3.      The online reviews and ratings; I mean if one person thinks a particular series is shit, I may have a rethink and give it the benefit of the doubt; but if lots of people are upset and ranting about how much time and MBs they’ve wasted, then its shit.
4.      Weirdly, the cover photos, posters, and sometimes the cast; probably because I can’t be bothered about the directors and producers. (Like who checks the credit *rolling my eye*)
5.      Which brings me to how I decided to watch this particular series “This is Us”. I had searched a couple of new series, read up on the synopsis, but this particular one just caught my attention. It just warmed my heart and I decided to give it a shot. You can say that point number five is Randomly warming my heart. Lol.

So I downloaded it, and trust me it is beautiful. Most series are clichéd, although we love them, or should I say I love them lol. The writer and director (yeah I said director, lol) have beautiful minds.
It has a lesson to be learnt on the irony of life. “You can take the sourest lemon life has to offer and turn it into something resembling a lemonade”
I’m not going to spoil it for you, naah, there would be no spoilers. Just take time to watch it. I hope you enjoyed the pilot as much as I did. And I hope the series continues to be beautiful.  

With love,
TheInspiredCutiee 😘

End It?

By
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 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 ...

Part 1

By
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...
