I woke at 8 AM today. I opened my eyes and thought, “Damn, I need to go to the mall today”. I dragged my ass out of bed, fed the dogs, and slowly got ready to go to the mall. I was never a fan of the mall, to begin with. I did not understand it. Even before when I was younger, my classmates were so excited for the weekend so that they can go and walk around the mall. I remember doing this one time with my high school friends and all I could think of was WHY?

Anyway, I digress. I needed to buy something at the mall and I hated the fact that the stores open so late. Why 11 AM?? I am one of those people who like to do errands early in the morning so that I’ll be home by 9 AM, latest 10 AM. Anyway, I went to the mall and got there at 10:30 AM. I planned to find some coffee first. But thank goodness, JCPenney opens a bit earlier. And I was glad that I found all I need in that store. I was out of the mall in less than 30 min.

For lunch, I decided to try this Filipino restaurant called Fil Cuisine. And the food I ordered was good. Chicken adobo fried rice, laing, sizzling sisig, and crispy pork kare kare. I did not eat the kare kare because of allergies but the other dishes were really good. I could not stop eating. And the food coma was real and hit me a bit harder than ever.

My love and I were able to hang out today. We watched some anime. No surprise there.

Bubble. This is a little mermaid retelling in anime form. It was good, enjoyable for sure. My hun thinks that this would have been better as a series instead of a movie. I agree. I feel like the conflict resolution was a bit rushed. Aside from Hibiki, the other characters were not fleshed out enough. I mean I understand this anime was about Hibiki, but if this was a serialized anime, I think they could’ve explored the other characters as well. Or actually explored the situation. Or fleshed out the plot more. Other than that, I enjoyed it. My hun gave it a 6/10, I gave it a 7/10. I can see myself rewatching the movie down the line.

Tomo-Chan is a Girl. Do not watch this in dub. I have no idea why they thought faking the low voice was a tomboy thing. Watch the sub. The voice actress for Tomo was more natural. Anyway, we only watched two episodes but so far, we laughed and enjoyed them. I think having a non-conventional female anime character in a romance anime is refreshing. So far, I like where the anime is going. She’s not trying to change herself for her best friend to notice her. And I like the fact that no one around her is trying to change her either. I guess you can say Misuzu tries to a little bit, but it’s no a blatant, do not do this and change this and do that instead. We shall see though. It’s too early to tell.

Inuyasha. I cannot stand Kagome. What the heck is wrong with this girl? I do not understand why she cannot keep those jewel fragments in her person. They were always in that damn backpack. I cannot. Or you know, just give it to Inuyasha. Anime over. Other than that, I am enjoying the demons and Inuyasha’s journey. I just cannot stand Kagome, which is unfortunate because she is in every episode.

Anyway, no major plans tomorrow. Just chill.
