Hi everyone!

Unfortunately, this is not a post about completed subs, but a desperate request for a translator(s) to help me finish these two projects. I actually finished timing these videos a few months ago, but havent been able to find someone to finish translating them. I partially translated both videos, so I hope that the work isn't too much for the translator.

If you know someone, or you yourself may be interested in helping me out, I'd really appreciate it. If I can't find a translator for either of these videos soon, I'm thinking of quitting subbing. I spend a lot of time and work on timing so it's really sad when I can't release it without the help of a translator. If it comes down to this, I'll probably try to join a subbing team, but I'm afraid of committing myself to one since I don't know how much time I'll have for it. It's easier to sub on my own since I'm only waiting on myself.

Anyways, here's some info about both videos to peak your interest!

I really hope my short summaries of the two episodes peaked your interest in helping me find a translator or even translating it yourself! I really wish I could translate more than I have the ability to, but that's why I'm subbing. Subbing has been helping me tremendously with learning Japanese and I hope to be able to translate on my own in the future. Please spread the word, I'd really appreciate it <3

Getting back into the fandom has made me want to write fanfics again! I was in the process of writing my story "Johnny's Girl," but I lost it after I deleted my old comm lol. I forgot to save them both to my computer :( I was thinking of maybe rewriting it from the beginning and taking it on a different direction, but I'm afraid that I'll get bored of rewriting it since I already wrote it before lol. Still trying to think of new interesting stories to get out of this writer block cuz I do wanna write again.

But, we'll see what happens! Enough with my rambling~ lol

Just a quick update on my life: I've graduated from university and I'm officially done with school forever! (hopefully LOL)

Anyways, now that school is over I have more time for the Fandom! And I'm sooooo eager to get back to subbing. I've been trying to refresh my mind on how to sub so I'm practicing by timing some videos. I'm working on a recent Nino-san episode rn and am halfway through! Once that's done, I'll try to work my way up to longer videos like AniShi or VSA.

We'll see what happens!

Many things happen out of your control, no? Some things are bad, some things are good. When that thing is bad, you try your hardest to make sure that certain thing never happens. You try to fix the un-fixable, do the impossible. I, for one, have no choice. I literally have no control. No matter how hard I pray, how hard I wish, how hard I ask God to please don't take him away from me, the inevitable is bound to happen.

So, as you all know, I have a boyfriend. His name is Sebastian and he's one year younger than me. He's the love of my life and hopefully we get married, have kids, and grow old together. He isn't the ideal boyfriend, but he's my ideal boyfriend. He makes me who I am. He makes me so happy. He's changed me for the good. I love with him all my heart and I really wanna be with him for the rest of my life. We met during my sophomore year and his freshman year in our debate class. And even though we virtually have nothing alike, we still love each other for who we are. And we've been together for nearly a year and three months. We've had our arguments, our fights, our disputes, our bad days. But our love for each other overwhelms any argument, fight, dispute, or bad day we've ever had. And yeah, I must sound cheesy and corny right now, but it's really the truth. And yeah, I'm only 16, but I've fallen in love. And this isn't a crush, or a puppy love, this is a real and genuine love. I love him with all my heart.

But what's a relationship without any hardships?

I found out yesterday that my boyfriend is moving to Puerto Rico. And not just moving as in "I'll be back in a couple of months," but moving as in "I don't know if I'll ever come back." He plans and hopes and wishes he'll come back after high school. He wants to go to college here, in Florida, but that only depends on if his mom can get a decent job or not.

The whole reason they're moving to PR is because his mom wasn't able to find a job here. The mortgage on their house is starting to pile up and they can't really afford it. Mind you, this is a single mom taking care of two children, one of them is in college. So yeah, she's gonna make the decision and go back home where she has family support and a cheaper lifestyle. I'm not mad at her or at my boyfriend; hell, my parents would've done the same if we were in the same situation. You gotta do what you gotta do, right?

But him moving is just such a huge change. I already don't see him as often as I would like due to the fact that we go to different schools, but being in different countries is just... I can't imagine what we're going to go through for the next how ever many years, but all I know is that we're gonna get through it: together. We're the real deal. We're really in love. We're really going to stay together forever.  And even though I never wanted to be in a long-distance relationship, I'd be in any kind of relationship for him. I love him that much.

I can't let go. I won't let go.

We've even promised each other to start this cute-cheesy thing when he moves. We're gonna use Livejournal to blog about our day. We're gonna write about our day and take pictures to show each other what our day was like. I'm really excited to start this. He says it won't get interesting after a few weeks, but I think it'll always be interesting. I want to know what PR is like for him and how it's treating him.

He says he's gonna be in a private school where they speak English since he isn't fluent in Spanish while his sister is gonna be a in a really good college. So I guess that's really good for him and his sister. He says when he gets back, he'll be better at basketball because they're getting a hoop the minute they land. And he says he's gonna workout and do more cardio 'cuz he wants to come back more fit. I told him he's perfect the way he is, but he refuses to believe me.

So yeah, things happen in life. Some things you can control, others you can't. And when the things you can't control work up against you, well, you just gotta live with it. You gotta deal with it. You gotta figure out a way to make it a good thing instead of a bad. Yeah, my boyfriend and I are going to be separated for who knows how long, but we'll get through it. We're a team, we're a couple, we're best friends; forever we'll be this way and forever we'll love each other no matter what.

After all, Distance means Nothing when Someone means Everything <3

sldfksadfa's;f YOU GUYS, I'M BACK!!

I haven't used LJ in the longest time and I've missed all of you guys <3 But now I'm on winter break for a whole month (until Jan. 4) and I have no hw! That means I can stay up ALLLLLL night and watch jdramas like no tomorrow. It's only been a few days since my break has started and I've already finished watching Freeter Ie wo Kau and Bartender. Now I'm watching Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de and Yokai Ningen Bem. All of those dramas are amazing and a must see.

Anyways, I've been watching Nazotoki and omgomgomgomgomgomg it is so freaking awesome! Sho and his acting <3 Kitagawa and her acting <3 They both make such a perfect team! Seeing Sho in a butler outfit has made me want a butler too. I'm so into this drama that I was even willing to watch the raws of episodes 7-9 lol. I understood most of it, but when the subbed versions come out, I'll be sure to watch them XD

I really miss this feeling of staying up until the sun comes up just watching dramas. I'm back to that phase where I speak Japanese to myself while watching a drama XD I'm even starting to annoy my boyfriend about how I want him to be a bartending butler who can transform into a monster hehe. :)

Anyways, I just wanted you guy to know that I'm still alive <3 And also, I have a big announcement:

( And the tension rises... )

That's my sister's blog and follow her if you really like her blog and she'll defInitely follow you back.

She'll definitely follow you if you post a lot of anime, jpop, or Arashi. She needs more of that on her dash anyways... Lol.

Thanks guys!

 So today I tried to sub the comments only portion of the Arashi 5x10 Best Clips DVD and I fail. I translated 6 and a half minutes of it and gave up >< I ended up going to the dog park today with my sister and then out to Yogurtland with the family. I was supposed to sub and translate all day since my sis went out to hang out with her friends. 

Ugh, someone help me get back into the mood to sub all day all the time!

 It's been forever since I've been on LJ, you guys! What's going on? I've actually been busy with life and stuff. But it's summer now and I'm trying to keep myself busy. So~ I've been making icons and writing my story War Kids. But I really want to sub. I think my Japanese skills are getting rusty so I want to make sure I still understand Japanese just like before. I miss subbing a lot >< I also miss contributing to the fandom.

I'm still an Arashian, I promise.

Right now I'm writing my War Kids story. Hopefully you guys haven't forgotten about me :( I hope I get to sub something soon. I'll see if I can find something right now. Btw, I'm not that up to date about the new Arashi news. Anyone wanna hit me up? ;)
