Quiet Sundays

I know, I know, it's late but I have forever been a nocturnal one. Besides, I don't have class till noon tomorrow tho so I'm good for now. Spent my day reading scanslations by ShoujoMagic & MangaSync. Let's hear it for those out there who put in the effort to make it possible for others to enjoy manga. I'm sure loads of ppl really appreciate your work, as do I of course. If it weren't for you, there would be no demand for manga to be in any other language.

There was a particular story that really stuck with me. It was about arranged marriages and it reminded me of the numerous people I knew who were or would be involved in one. In a way, Foz is right: it's shocking that such obsolete traditions still take place in the world that is supposedly so forward thinking and liberal. Yet in another, it shows the power that traditions hold over entire societies. All I can say is that for all those out there who are likely to experience an arranged marriage, I wish you the best of luck and may you be happy with the choice your family makes.

*I wouldn't dare wish love for them in case I jinx it.*
