★ Stay In Bed ★

Hello again angels! It's been raining nonstop since Friday and it's literally put a damper on all the beach and pool plans I was looking forward to! I napped all day with my cats while it poured outside, only waking up to snack and do the laundry along with other little chores. I didn't lose myself in the cabin fever though thanks to my friends keeping in touch with me through FaceTime  I know I should think positively and instead focus on how much I caught up on sleep, but I hate being in the house all day! It doesn't help that I’ve spent the majority of today indoors too. Thank God I was able to get my nails done in the afternoon and be treated to an ice cream cone before the storms continued but I was hoping to have a more exciting Sunday;;

To cheer myself up I started watching the English Dub for Super Gals, a slice-of-life anime from the early 2000s that follows MC, Ran Kotobuki and her adventures as the most popular gal in Shibuya. I preferred watching Magical Girl series like Sailor Moon or Shugo Chara as a kid so I missed out on this entry completely. I'm three episodes in and noticed that the show earnestly tries to tell its intended audience of young teenage girls about potential dangers or situations they may encounter like how unsafe escorting is for young girls, how they can be manipulated and love-bombed by their boyfriends/crushes, and so on. Besides the terrible common tropes of the era that were prevalent when the anime aired, like the inappropriate romantic age gaps shared between two characters or the horrible use of derogatory slurs in the English dub, the show is alright for what it is. 

Tomorrow I have plans to catch up with friends over brunch and I'm so excited! They want to try out this ramen place I've never heard of, I hope it's good. That's it for now, I hope everyone can enjoy the rest of their Labor Day weekend despite the weather. Thanks for reading! See you next time!
