Happy 2nd anniversary, HaruHaruSubs!

So it's February 14, 2011 already. After 2 years of existence we have received so much love. Thousands of love and support from the big fanbase of Korean Drama fans. We would like to thank everyone who shared this passion & enjoyment that we love so much. And you welcomed us with open hearts every single day of our existence.
Yes, we are never the best nor the fastest when it comes to releasing subs, but we always give you the assurance of quality subs being completed. And we will continue to improve and show everyone that we can grow much more during this new year and we will DREAM HIGH!

It wouldn't be a anniversary if there aren't releases, right? So, keep watch of our anniversary releases. We love you all again. And HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY to us! Plus, Happy Valentines Day also!

Remember to support everything that we do always!

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!

As what they said:

A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking.  ~Earl Wilson

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.

PS.
If you're all alone for Halloween and have nothing to watch, we have our KDRAMA 'Soul / Hon' up at our main domain. Also, bunch of Korean Horror Movies are available on the internet, fill your day with horror! lol. 

An Ode to Meju

(by rambutan)

I have a drooling-leching mate in Haru Haru.

She is non other than Korean translator, Meju.

Always snickering at others over the whole fangirly thing,

One day we turned into mush balls watching Kang Suk on screen.

Why we lech after that stuffy, gruff man we don’t understand.

But he sure stirs our hearts like no male star now can.

One day I asked her to translate a Gloria song.

Immediately, she launched a disclaimer about a mile long.

“I'm not literal, I translate as would normal English sound,

Yet capturing the essence as would the words expound.

My translation takes note of both mood and tone

Based on these, the seed of my translation is sown.”

Meju's translations of GLORIA are a delight and a treat.

She makes those who time her episodes squeee! and squeak.

Methuongcon: “Oh Meju, your translations are so easy to time!”

And Starstruck, Hitomi and KimT sang the same chimes.

Actually, not only timers, but others sing their praises, too.

Fore said: “If Meju joins TEAM GLORIA, it will be a coup.”

Men - Women jokes

Q: Why doesn't law permit a man to marry a second woman?
A: Because as per law you cannot be punished twice for the same offence.

------------ --------- ---

Man: Is there any way for long life?
Dr.: Get married.
Man: Will it help?
Dr.: No, but the thought of long life will never come.

------------ --------- ---

Wife: Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do?
Husband: Let us stand in silence for 2 minutes.

--------------------- ---

Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say.
After marriage, he'll fall asleep before you finish.

------------------------

There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking.
It's called marriage.

------------------------

Prospective husband: Do you have a book called 'Man, The Master of Women'?
Salesgirl: Sir, the Fiction department is on the other side.

------------------------

There was this guy who told his woman that he loved her so much that he would go through hell for her. They got married, and now he is going through hell.

------------------------

Fact of life: One woman brings you into this world crying & the other ensures you continue to do so for the rest of your life!


P.S. A guy who's happily married tells me only the joke about the bank account is true.
