I was so lazy today! I woke up, fed the fur babies, and folded my laundry. And after that, I just lounged in bed while watching The Hills. I was supposed to hang out with my hun earlier today but they had some company so he chose to sleep instead.

I am definitely getting invested again with The Hills. I felt myself roll my eyes at unnecessary drama, get annoyed at questionable decisions, and get frustrated when these girls choose their boyfriends over careers. Like seriously, sneaking your friends to a work party, choosing to stay with your boyfriend for the summer instead of going to Paris to join your editor for a career opportunity, drinking and being smashed while on the job, and letting a great career opportunity pass by because the boyfriend does not want you to move to Las Vegas. SERIOUSLY! Or even forcing your two best friends to be friends despite them not having anything in common except being friends with you. Yeah. I was in my early 20s once and I know I wouldn’t have made the decision as these girls. And I don’t know what it is but none of these boys even go to work – at least it was not shown. One of the boyfriends – who I think was one of the main casts – was home all of the time. Just being a couch potato and just doing nothing but play games.

When 3:30 PM hit, I finally decided to drag my ass out of bed to actually do some cooking. Cooked some honey garlic chicken wings and chorizo with potatoes. The honey garlic chicken actually came out good. I was nervous for a hot minute. My hun messaged me that most of the people left their house and he can hang out.

We ended up watching the last two episodes of Inventing Anna on Netflix. I still like the show, still enjoyed it but now that I read My Friend Anna, I am able to see Rachel in a different light and I’m not as annoyed with the character from the series. I will not stop saying that the show did Rachel dirty. And honestly, I find myself feeling for Rachel – the real Rachel. I feel like we could’ve been friends if we are in the same circle.

We then watched Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I liked it. I mean what’s not to like about a composer trying to create a Dracula musical and using puppets! And my hun questioned why the movies we watched yesterday and today had cheating/affair in them. Coincidence. LOL

I didn’t read today. I tend to take a couple of days off from reading after I finish a book. Just to give myself time to digest the book that I just read. Internalize how I actually felt about the book. So most likely tomorrow I can start reading Forrest Gump.

Tomorrow is the start of the work week and all I remember is that I have a meeting at 7:30 AM. So I definitely can’t leave later that 7 am. I hate having 7:30 meetings, I feel like these people don’t realize that we technically don’t start our day until 8:00 AM!

Yes. I want to visit an internet cafe in Japan. I’ve been to internet cafes in the Philippines and it’s nothing like this. Well, back then. I don’t think it changed that much but then again it has been years! In this specific one that Joey visited, you can rent a private room, they have complimentary drinks, they have a full menu, and you have an array of things to do – rent movies, play games, and read manga. This site actually have a lot of mangas in their arsenal – if you can read Japanese of course.

I’m feeling slightly better today. My allergies are still flaring up but I’m not as irritable as yesterday. But then again, there were barely any people onsite today. I love it. I had no meetings today, which is a rare occurrence. And I appreciate it. I feel like I’ve been overly socialized lately with all these Teams meetings. So if I have an off day, I love it.

My love and I started watching House again. We just watched episode 16 of season 1. Heavy is the title of the episode and the episode annoyed the shit out of me! Well most of the characters in that episode annoyed me except for House and Foreman.

Watched some more Blue Exorcist. So far so good. Shiemi is annoyingly innocent. I say annoyingly because she has this need to belong and she gets taken advantage of. Well at least on the couple of episodes we watched, she was taken advantage of. Kamiki is just meh. I don’t like her and some of her backstory I had to skip because I just can’t stand her. So I wasn’t interested in her story. Suguru I find interesting. He’s your very standard hot head with a lot to prove very similar to Rin. But Suguru works hard to be at the top of his class. So I can’t fault him for that. Rin is still Rin. Loud.

I also don’t know what’s wrong with me today. I enjoyed hanging out with my hun regardless of what we’re watching but I was just not feeling the stuff that we watched today. I think Trigun and Persona5 were tough to beat. I think I still have an anime hangover.

The morning didn’t start out great. I woke up late, well later than what I would’ve liked. Not surprising since I think I was up late last night. Since I planned on going to the store to do some groceries, I would’ve like to have woken up as early as 6 AM. But I mean, it was fine. I just don’t like going to the store when it’s crowded already.

And Costco was just that. A crowded mess. Hard to believe when I actually went there a few minutes they opened. Too many people. Especially when a lot of them don’t like to follow the keep right unspoken rule. Some of them in the middle of the freaking aisle. So yes, my anxiety was on high alert this morning. It was not fun.

My hun got lucky and the Twilight Saga movies have been removed from viewing without live subscription on Hulu. He dodged the bullet of watching those movies for now. He procrastinated long enough. I’ll keep an eye up on those movies though. I want to watch all the movies with him.

We finished Persona5. And I was right about Akechi being the “Black Mask”. I knew there was something so untrustworthy about that guy. That was a good anime. I liked it. Sad that they won’t be able to go the metaverse anymore. But I’m glad that Morgana still ended up with them. I actually thought that he will be gone since the metaverse was no more since he was not technically from earth. He was such a cutie cat. I would love to have a plushy of him. Well, his metaverse version. Going back to the anime, I love the backstories of each characters. They were fleshed out. Even Akechi’s backstory was pretty awful – still doesn’t excuse what he did. I would’ve liked it even better if Morgana’s story was a bit more explored. It just felt rushed to me to be honest. I still think that Haru was a very random addition.

My hun and I were kind of not in the mood to watch anything in particular, so we started watching Blue Exorcist next. Three episodes in. So far, it’s interesting. I feel like Rin is one of those protagonists that has the potential to be unlikable. He’s very stubborn and loud and impulsive, not to mention hot headed. With the episodes we watched, he was definitely difficult to root for. But I do understand the intense surge of emotions coming from him. Why he needed answers right away. I mean, this information was just kind of thrown at him at rapid speed. And he needs to be okay with those in snap. My hun said he doesn’t change. So we shall see. I’ve been known to give up on animes with unlikable protagonists.

We also watched Beetlejuice today! That was fun. I watched that movie before – a long time ago – and I don’t really remembered much from the movie. So it definitely felt like I was watching for the first time. Michael Keaton in that movie was chef’s kiss. He played Beetlejuice really well. And a young Alec Baldwin, oh god. Such a hottie. The little goth Winona Rider, YES! And that red wedding dress! And now I want that Handbook for the Recently Deceased in my collection.

Today has been relaxing. It was needed. I was not sluggish which was nice for once. But we shall see how I feel tomorrow. Mondays are always difficult for me.

Damn. I was so sluggish today! Woke up, fed the doggos, and started doing laundry. And then I took an unplanned nap. UNPLANNED. I just decided to put head on the pillow and bam. I woke up and the documentary that I was watching before the nap was over and something totally different was playing. I still felt unrested. Drank tea in the afternoon to get some caffeine in me. Didn’t help to be honest. I’m still feeling very sleepy.

Finally watched Twilight with my love. LOL His commentaries were funny. Apparently, he watched the movie before during a supernatural literature class and my question was, why in hell would they choose Twilight? Why not Dracula or Interview with the Vampire? Yep, I had questions on who decided the curriculum. That series do not follow the vampire lore at all. Especially the most integral part – not being to survive under the sun! The movie is definitely problematic in some cases, but I just can’t let myself to hate it as much or make fun of it. I enjoyed the series at one point in my life and I will continue to adore it I guess.

Finished Trigun today…And not going to lie, the ending was meh. It was anti-climatic for an ending. I was so stuck on the fact that the ideals Vash was fighting for were not even his. It was an ideal dream by Rem, a pseudo-mother who “raised” him and Knives for like what? 5 years maybe? And then I got even more annoyed because it has been 130 years since Rem died, and Vash didn’t learn anything. 130 years of being exposed to humans and Vash failed to learn and form his own principles! Come on! Even in real life, there’s no such thing as black and white. There is always a sacrifice for a bigger gain. That’s just how life works. I even joked with my hun that Vash will hug Knives and everything will be okay. Guess what? Vash still didn’t kill Knives considering how much human lives Knives has taken. I don’t get it. Don’t get me wrong, I like the anime. Storyline was good. I was pissed at some parts – Wolfwood dying – but definitely one of the good ones out there.

Watched more of Persona5. Futaba is adorable. My hun said that Ren and Futaba have shippers out there. But I didn’t get that energy from them in the anime. Definitely more of a sibling relationship going on between those two. But I like her. It’s nice to see her making friends slowly after being so trapped in her head alone for years. Haru…she feels like a random add to be honest. I don’t know. We’ll see. But I feel like she is somewhat out of place. And that person in a black mask…I’m putting my money that it’s that Detective Prince, Akechi. It’s him. Watching Morgana’s struggle was difficult. It was all about finding purpose and feeling helpless. And getting over that. I hope there is some sort of happy ending for him.

Tomorrow, I have to do some errands. Go to the store, which I’m already getting anxiety just thinking about it. I hate crowds and stores are always crowded. Even in the morning. But afternoon, hopefully I get to hang out again with my love. I’m planning to watch New Moon with him. LOL
