What's Up?: Let me try

What's Up?: Let me try: I am lazy when it comes to writing. Unless the subject is something that excites or agitates me greatly. But few things can affect me greatl...

Fansubbing burnout

I don't know why I'm writing this after completely ignoring this site for almost a year, but I feel like I have the need to explain here why all of these things are happening right now. Anyway, to explain the title, Fansubbing Burnout to be honest it's not just with fansubbing but with the whole Korean Entertainment desire itself. I think it's to admit finally after being in denial for almost a year that I have totally given up on the idea of getting back to my desire on Korean dramas, music and fansubbing itself. The only explanation I can get is burnout, really. After almost 2 and a half years of non-stop Korean entertainment, I have suddenly fell and had just given up on it already. I guess part of it also was that I have found my true desire, and apparently it's nowhere in the fansubbing industry.

Guess that explains why I just suddenly given up on watching Korean dramas, even if I haven't finished a lot, I just passed onto all the desire to my mom, who still loves Korean dramas, and I still download all of the latest shows for her. But yeah, guess that truly explains why I have lost interest on checking out or fansubbing community forums every 5 minutes, now I barely go there. Guess that's my explanation. But I give my thanks so much to my co-admins now at HaruHaruSubs, KumoYami who is working so hard to get our current projects now finished. I'm basically just the one mainting the site, checking if the domain is up, still available or whatever.

But one thing's for sure, I will never forget the desire, passion and love I once had with Korean dramas. For all those who still loves korean dramas, please! Continue to support the projects Haru2subS has to offer, the team is working really hard on it, I can see it. The same quality subs sure are still available.

Peace and signing off,

Crocheting and Dramas?

I just relearned to crochet tonight (winter beanies). My friend (who was a first time crocheter^_^) and I commented on how the directions are like a foreign language to us... to which I replied, "maybe I should subtitle those directions". She readily said, yes, add that to your other subtitle jobs.

My friends and family members are quite aware of my obsession to drama watching but to what extent. Well, it's not like it's a secret.^_^ There are things I do that make it obvious.

Things that make my obsession more obvious are:
- when I can't listen to any thing else but Korean Drama OSTs in the car
-when it's Christmas season, and I bust out SMtown as I try to follow along... some times as they sing in English, finding myself singing with a Korean accent to follow suit
-when asked if I read a lot, I say, "if you count subtitles... I get a lot of reading done there"
-with bags under my eyes, some might ask if I had a long night... I may reply, I just kept wanting to watch what was going to happen next on *my drama
-when on the phone, my sister asks "are you downloading something again" as the reception is not as clear when doing so, knowing that I download *my dramas on a regular basis
-*I call them "my dramas"

Things that I have found easy enough to accomplish While watching a drama:
-folding laundry (put this to the test many of times)... constant head up and down but very doable
-crocheting... yes, I think this one would be possible
Okay, I haven't got much else here...

Maybe you can help add to the list. What is some thing productive that you have been able to accomplish while reading subtitles and watching a drama?

Fansubber's diaries - sayroo #1

I'm currently in a long-weekend vacation due to holidays in our place and I feel great just thinking about it. It starts today, and I promised to catch up on my dramas, including Joseon X-Files, GLORIA, Flames of Ambition & Daemul. And I'm glad that I have finally finished Dr. Champ after ignoring it for quite some weeks now.

Considering all of that, I have to add in the subbing duties I have in hand.
Point is, I love this long weekend vacation as I get to spend more times on my dramas and net life and not actually care about anything. Ain't life amazing with these dramas?

Happy drama-watching to everyone!

Favorite Kiss at Playful Kiss

Though it may be hard to accept the fact that Playful Kiss has already ended, memories are still within us. Especially our favorite scenes that some of us watch over and over again. (Guilty?) And this drama offered a lot (yes, a lot!) of emotions and kisses as well. It really lived up to its title, 'Playful Kiss'.
As I was snooping around at soompi last time, I encountered a compiled post of all the kisses in the 16-episodes they aired at the station, MBC and the special YOUTUBE episodes. There were a total of 15 kisses. (13 are literally, lip-lock, lol, and 2 were a peck from the lips & the cheeks). How awesome is this show? haha.
Anyway, I'm sure some of you already had a favorite scene in mind, obviously it would be the, what they call, 'Rain Kiss' that happened at Episode 13. But here are the compiled one's from soompi. Check them out after the cut.
