On Real Life
I think I have been inactive in the fandom for a very long time. School is finished and now that I am working full time in a consultant company, I don't have as much as free time as when I was a grad student. And my precious weekends are mostly for quality time with my friends and family and even now I feel overwhelmed sometimes when I realize that it's a special Arashi week on TV or some other groups are having promotions here and there and there are many TV shows I want to watch. Watching the latest 3 hour Arashi ni Shiyagare was already a challenge. Lol.
If anyone has been waiting for me to finish some translation that I started way before, then I have to say I am sorry, because with the current job, I cannot translate long articles anymore. Songs, maybe, but since most of the fandoms I join have faster translators, I will probably only post translation of Amazarashi songs, which is more or less the only craze that has small fandom. AKIHIDE's blogs are ... too beautiful to translate because by translating, I cannot give the same atmosphere as Aki's writing in his blog (yes, it is very poetic and at times uses these words that has no need to learn even for aiming for JLPT N1).
And yes.... I am lurking in LJ on occasions through the app I installed on my phone, but it does not give the same ability to being online in LJ using my computer.
Have a good day!!
